  • Wasabi Sushi in Portland OR had a deep fried hot cheetos sushi donut. It was like a tempura fried sushi roll, but round and covered in cheeto dust.

    It was not bad, just a bit too greasy for my taste.

  • Stinky tofu is much milder in flavor than aroma. At least the stuff I ate in both Yunnan and Taiwan was, Hunan may have a different kind.

    I found it incredibly tasty, like a mild gorgonzola. Fried or boiled in soup are both amazing.

    In Taiwan it's super convenient because as soon as you get punched in the nose by the aroma of hot, unwashed crotch you can follow that scent and you'll almost always reach an amazing night market with a range of delicious food and other vendors.

  • If we just extend that rule to everyone we'd have better cheaper stuff and fewer rich people to boot.

  • When I worked in a mall, there were no staff toilets. So I was subjected to a slightly less extreme version of that maybe 2-3 times a week.

    I call that symphony "ringing the taco bells".

  • If you honestly believed that democracts and republicans are identical on israel and you care about human suffering you'd look at all the other ways that trump and his fascists have promised to brutalize everyone who's not them and minimize human suffering by voting for a democrat.

    Trump killing trans people, immigrants and palestinans is not a moral victory for opponents of our genocide in gaza.

  • Yeah, that makes it very hard to vote for them, I feel that. But that's a problem that gets worse by not voting for a democrat.

    Republicans have promised to genocide harder and trump has already been coordinating with netanyahu to counter anything that might reduce palestinans deaths.

    I don't like it either but it's time to be an adult, do the unpleasant thing, and vote for a democrat.

  • When WC1 first launched the one selling point that everyone mentioned was that if you click on units enough times they get annoyed and say "stop poking me!"

    Warcraft was always heavy on the whacky, that's its whole thing.

  • Don't vote "for/against whoever". Vote against trump like an adult - that means voting democrat.

    Sure, picking between two options that you don't want is legitimately hard for human brains to do. But republicans have promised and begun to brutalize minorities at ever larger scales, and are objectively worse than democrats on everything that matters.

    Handing the reins of state power to fascists has never improved life for leftists or humanity.

  • As medieval and renaissance scholars regained interest in the pagan past, they wrote about it in latin. That's why we still largely use the latinized names.

    These scholars used latin partly because it was the lingua franca of their elite audience, but also that way the only people who could read it would have had a proper church education. And thus less likely to be lead from the path of righteousness by these pagans and all their wicked thinkin'.

    This practice of using latin for religiously risque material continues well into the modern period, where the sexy parts of native american myths were marked by an abrupt shift into latin. I believe the first scientific account of penguin necrophilia was written in latin as well.

  • If someone reads my comment, and they'our not sure if I'm serious our not, that's ok with me.

  • Yeah, I've never seen or heard that either. I'm sure there our plenty of dialects where those two words sounds similar or identical.

  • that affirm your position.

    I'm looking for news that affirms reality. Trump's public record words and actions already left no doubt that he's molested children. This writer's credible but unsourced account is just to remind people that trump has molested children, something that most people realize from trump's words, actions, associates attitude.

    When something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, hangs out with ducks, eats bread at the park, and admits in public and private to being a duck - it's unreasonable to argue that we can't assume it's a duck.

  • Twitter is run by a russian influence actor. Facebook has been hosting russian influence operation content for what a decade now? Fox gleefully pushes that stuff. There's a host of grifters and alt-right entry-point content online that's lousy with it.

    It's crazy how much of our media space has been seized by brutal foreign oligarchs. I feel like it wouldn't have been this easy for them if we hadn't spent decades letting brutal domestic oligarchs take almost all our media space.

  • Why would you peel a carrot?

  • Take Trump out of it for a second

    But then it becomes a completely different scenario.

    Trump has repeatedly admitted to molesting women, he's bragged about forcing his way into women's locker rooms, he joked openly and without judgement of epstein's love of kids, he has scores of sexual assault allegations, he has enough money and clout to cover up his rapes and he's been convicted of illegally covering up legal but embarrassing sexual encounters.

    Trump has definitely molested children, it is a fact. It's literally beyond a shadow of a doubt.

  • "Edomite!"

    I was getting onto a bus, someone looked me over and spat out the word. It was clear from the tone that it was an insult, but it also sounded suspiciously bronze age, so I was very excited to find out what it meant.

    Turns out it's a biblical reference used by some black nationalist groups in the US to refer to white people as unclean or diseased. Edom was one of several late bronze age Canaanite kingdoms. At one point the torah describes them as slightly paler and dirty, hence the insult.

  • You know I almost didn't post, thinking about that exact point?

    But at least two of them are holding weight on them - rightmost of the front pack and leftmost of the mid pack. Also I'm guessing that they'd still need more robust arms than that just for lifting and carrying in high G, right?

  • I really love seeing a well curated list, and that's a well curated list.
