If I'm reading this correctly, castle Gagliardi has 7 TV's? For a house with 4 people. I wonder how many are in Lou's neet cave?

Edit: long time lurker, been following Lou and his adventures in grifting since the beginning of the thread. He was a cow I followed on Twitter before I found KF, but I lost him during one of his many name changes.

Lou, the wordsmith, using a common and familiar thing to grab his readers' understanding. Who among us does not have memories of going to the mall to eat a single bowl of Cheerios?

It blows me away that anyone under 55 even uses cable/satellite television these days. I can't even remember the last time I watched regular, cable, or satellite TV. We've had a cable box included as part of a bundle with our internet, but we never ever used it. We just accepted the box to get a lower bill. Never even hooked the damn thing up. We just stuck it in a drawer on the TV stand until the bundle discount expired and it needed to be shipped back to Comcast when we canceled cable service to keep our bill down.

Ever since streaming services started to become available on gaming consoles or built-in to the TV, that's the only TV we ever watch. I mostly watch YouTube, but we do have subscriptions to a few streaming services. That's how it is for most people I know. It's just so weird to see Louie, someone close to my age, making such a huge fuss about how important DishTV is to him, especially when he also has several streaming subscriptions on top of it despite being an impoverished, marginalized, oppressed tranzwymyn.

But, yeah, I literally can't remember the last time I watched actual broadcast, cable, or satellite TV. To the best of my reasoning it was before 2010, maybe even before I got married. It's been either games, DVDs or Blu-rays, YouTube, or streaming services that I turn to for entertainment in my downtime for many, many, many years and I can't think of anyone I know who is under 55 who is any different. "Normal" TV, like cable or satellite, has been old geezer territory for about a decade.

I was thinking about that, too. My parents had cable when I was very little, but I myself haven't had TV service in about two decades, and nobody I know under the age of, I dunno, 50 maybe, really bothers with it anymore. Some of my friends and family members have cable + internet bundles, but aside from my wife's grandparents (who like watching Spanish broadcast TV) and my best friend's nearly-geriatric dad (football), I can't remember the last time I saw someone watching something that wasn't either online, pirated, or on a streaming service.

Granted, I know there are still people who watch TV; it's very much a generational thing and not completely outside the realm of possibility - but Lou is a terminally online, millennial furry. There's absolutely no fucking excuse for a man like him to be throwing a fit like this over television service.

(also, fuck alive... imagine going from LARPing about the joys of Cuban Communism, to complaining that you've not got enough tuners to cover all five of your TV sets.)

Yeah, the only reason I have cable TV service is because it makes my overall monthly bill for Internet cheaper by $20 by bundling it. That business model does not make any sense to me, but ah well. I only hook it up once a year for the Super Bowl.

Do yanks actually have cereal stalls at the mall? The idea of being served up some overpriced cardboard rings from a box that only costs a few dollars anyway at a food stall purely for the sake of convenience just reeks of America so I don't know if I should be surprised. No offence.

Lou would totally be into that though.

Lou only leaves the house to go to WalMart, so
he really has no idea malls are dying in the USA and they never sold breakfast cereal in those places anyway.

I have never heard of it before. Occasionally a hipster will open a "cereal cafe" in their city's downtown and get a few stories on a slow news day, selling mix-and-match sugar cereals and toppings along the same model as a frozen yogurt store.

"A simple bowl of mall Cheerios" is a batshit Lou-ism.

(Although I'm ready for someone from Pittsburgh to set me straight and explain how this is a local tradition.)

No. That's why it's funny.

Christ. My neighborhood hangout goes out of business because of the pandemic, yet this place still exists.

This is probably another example of Lou's mush mouth being misunderstood by his text to speech. He probably said something like "I can't even afford a bowl of cereal at the moment and I have bills...".

It is a bit unnerving to me how fluent I have become in Lou-glish.

When you've gotten so obese that the fat blubber on your face is impeding your ability to speak coherently, then it's time to put the fork down and go out for a walk.

He probably doesn't have his fake teeth in either. I wonder what he (and the family) is doing with all that extra pandemic SNAP money. I think I figured they're getting the rough equivalent of $250/week for the 4 of them, which is bonkers.

Probably spending it as soon as they get it on frivolous things they don't actually need. We know that's what Lard-Ace always does with any money he gets, and that's often a learned behavior. So it's highly doubtful that it's getting saved for an emergency or otherwise being used responsibly. A lot of it probably goes to buying junk food and fizzy drinks.

I’m done being nice.

I can’t even afford a bowl of mall Cheerios.

Maybe you should stop buying a $1,000 iPad every three weeks you fat, selfish, cat-torturing cunt. I have seen police raids of drug kingpins that don’t have as many electronics as you. You really need to find a cheaper drug. I heard crack is good to try on occasion.

If Louie is going to get into narcotics, I think he should jump right to Fentanyl.

cheerios at the mall dovetails nicely with the mouth full of donuts.

Hey am I wrong here but is this one of the very rare times Lardo Gags has said a curse word? Despite being a feral degenerate with no issues spitting out the worst slurs you can think of, I don't really seem to recall him saying fuck or shit like at all- but maybe I'm just brain mushed.

Page 1 of the thread has plenty of fuck shits for your viewing pleasure.

He's been more keen on begging than on fighting lately and he keeps his bad language to a minimum in the begging posts, so its understandable

 

[JaneThough]

Lou bitching about cable makes him seem even more out of touch. He’s got how many tablets and he can’t use a single one to stream on? I’m not familiar with Dish but I know every single cable company now has streaming services to go with the cable package. He’s either stupid, or thinks his audience is stupid for the grift.

And the Cinderella shit he’s trying. Omg he’s even PAYING for half the cable and can’t watch it because two boxes are recording something 24/7 (WTF?).

I've seen them, yes. Or SAW them, back when going to the mall was still a thing. They're not common, and like @Aunt Carol says, they're almost always hipster spots.

The one that springs to my mind are Liquid Nitrogen cereal bars (often referred to as "Dragon's Breath"), where they sell you cupfulls of what are essentially Trix or Fruity Pebbles balls, doused in liquid nitrogen (sometimes other cereals too, but Fruity Peb-balls were the most common). The cereal balls come out of the liquid nitrogen bath smoking and steaming, and when you eat them, they make you blow smoke rings out your mouth, nose, and earholes. Apparently it was a fad in Asian markets, and got popular several years ago on Instagram, causing a minor moral panic and several thousand articles about how stupid Zoomers and hipsters are.




There are also "craft cereal" stands, which as Aunt Carol points out, are likewise rare, and generally sell their own, fancy, in-house cereals, meant to evoke feelings of nostalgia for Saturday morning cartoons or some shit. They probably wouldn't sell Cheerios at a place like that - they'd have something similar, only called FairTradeOs and served in a bowl of Sriracha - but you never know.

THAT SAID, yes, it is (or rather, was, back when malls still existed) possible to buy Cheerios at the mall. They're not exactly a popular mall item, but malls have tons of stores, and I'm certain you could find single-bowl servings of Cheerios there, somewhere, if you really looked. Once in a great while an ice cream shop will have cereal on the side (the idea is to use the cereal as a mixin for your ice cream, but I guess there's nothing stopping you from eating the cereal on its own), and a boomer store like a newsstand or a pharmacy might have a single-pack, maybe.

Spoiler

But it's definitely not the sort of thing I've ever heard a person say they're going to the mall to buy. That's Lou being weird.


-edit- I'm looking through Lou's local mall directory, and I'm not seeing anything that screams "Cheerios sold here!" It's possible that the Bubble Tea place sold liquid nitrogen cereal once upon a time, since bobba shops tended to be early adopters of that fad. But I'd be skeptical, since liquid nitrogen cereal is no longer popular (may even be illegal...?), and I highly doubt Lou would be culinarily adventurous enough to step foot in an East Asian bobba store.
