I didnt know that - its completely opposite from either the Euro or Chinese approaches. In any case, like I said, I really doubt it makes any detectable difference in the finished product. Its rice

Pretty sure the criticism is that she boiled the rice in a metric shit ton of water then strained it like it was pasta. Which is a pretty bizarre way of cooking rice I have to admit. That said, I bet it tasted just like any other white rice by the end of the video

you know how I know you're gay? and no, I don't mean all that stuff about "bodybuilders" showing pictures of their bodies to other men

Normal people start their emails like this. "Hi Joe, " or "Dear Joe," or "Hey dude"or whatever. There is a specific name for this part of the correspondence. Old etiquette books probably gave it a whole chapter (for written letters) People who are butthurt start their emails like this...

I feel I should clarify I meant "Name:" as like "John:" or "Patrick:" or something, but fair enough! I guess I'd probably react about the same if they opened with literally "Name:"

https://www.afterbabel.com/p/on-the-death-of-daydreaming A great read on how smartphones have fucked up humans. Whats unique in this piece is it doesnt pretend its an issue for children. It starts right off by saying "yeah this is happening to adults to". Theres a dozen quotable sections but I...

Thats a weird way to spell "normal and sensible and how every forum used to do it"

People that open their emails with "Name:" are as bad as people who sign their email "Regards," Although the latter is at least unintentionally funnier if you've spent any time on WSB. Seriously though, emails are a famously difficult medium for conveying tone, its real easy to accidentally...

I felt exactly the same way until she started beating nose ring bitch with a pipe then I started liking her a lot more They've built a great setup for totally justified and righteous violence as she gets revenge, they just have to give us payoff. I don't know the game story, so no idea if...

Generally yes. Half the people in this argument don't seem to understand what a normal distribution is, or why it almost inevitably shows up anytime a continuously variable feature (like height, attractiveness, or movie quality) is measured. Theres literally a law that describes this...

Havent had that exact experience but I've sure had people stop by in person to ask if I saw their email. I need to be clear. They don't stop by in person to ask me the question they asked in their email, or something reasonable like that. They ask me if I saw their email. It turns out the...

Oh I'm not defending auto reply. But yes I am away from my email. Every time I'm not logged in. My objection is based on the fucking assholes who think responding a day or two after the email is sent is somehow "late".

Things that rustle my jimmies: the assumption that no one is actually away from their email I log in a couple times a day. The rest of the time I am logged the fuck out. Doctors, firefighters, and drug dealers are on call. Fuck that right in its ear

I'm gonna get slammed for saying this in the "grown up" forum We're on a forum where people talk about their safaris in Africa, their amazing careers that somehow leave them time for 19k posts on an elfpixel forum, their hot wives that give them enthusiastic blowjobs all the time, and their...

Well, every time I bring up sheep people say "goats are more fun", but maybe I havent asked enough follow up questions

Get sheep. Hair sheep. Lowest maintenance farm animal ever. Clear brush almost as well as goats. But they actually stay *inside* your fence. Actually, a fence is almost overkill - you could probably just point and say "stay here". Or if you really enjoy chasing farm animals, get goats.

Sacrificing a kid to maybe possibly save humanity, without trying any non-lethal means, or even giving her a chance to volunteer? Just trick her and kill her hoping for a cure? No, brother, thats fuckin straight up evil. Arent you a little old for edgelording on the internet? Sad. The episode...

Which ones do that? Christianity doesnt. By extension I'm pretty sure Judaism doesnt either, so Islam shouldnt. Maybe some Asian religion? I know less about them.

What bugged me about Joels death. Shooting the murderdoctor was a totally justified act. That what made it such a great episode, he killed like 20+ people and every one of them absolutely got what they deserved. But when his captors get all high and mighty about it like oh no you killed my...

But what you have to remember is these people are retarded. They saw the success of game of thrones and said "ah, the people want fantasy with tits that subverts expectations! got it!" Following the source material faithfully never occurred to them once

eh I'm sure they're gonna gay it up somehow. but theyre all the right race and gender or close enough to pass. they look the part more or less. it has fan service from herbie to the ridiculous F4 car. really aside from the genderswapped surfer whats there to hate so far?

That looks good. And I know its popular to hate on the multiverse these days but I still think the decision to start F4 in a different universe was inspired. It let them put together a version thats true to the source material without worrying that the F4 aesthetic doesnt fit in at all with...

Yeah I mean thats the formula. Ep 1, someone gets murdered but you don't know who dies or who kills them. Then they spend 8 or 10 episodes introducing ridiculous rich assholes you want to die, and people you can imagine killing them. So you spend the season hoping its this one or that one...

holy fuck its like watching a woman try to use a hammer Not really a comment on equipment, race, or potatoes. Just WTF, do you not understand how your arms work?

Hotel reverie was kinda boring for me but I did enjoy how it just non-stop made fun of people idolizing dumbass old B&W movies. Bete Noire was great, top tier Black Mirror.

As OU correctly points out, viewers don't get the option of supporting good shows. Viewers have the option of supporting streaming services. And 100% of the streaming services are promoting society-destroying bullshit on at least some of their shows. Lets not get high and might about...

This is true. I spent a week in a hospital with my dad last year while he was undergoing cancer treatment. Horrifying. I came back and told my wife, if I'm ever injured in North Carolina, I don't care how bad it is. You take me to a hospital in some other state. If I die on the way, I die on...

I agree with this comment in terms of the viewer experience, but its a show about rich people at resorts. Inevitable

What makes you think they can't re-use tropes? They've been pretending Indians were peaceful and wise and white men were brutal savages in literally every single Indian story since Dances With Wolves. Why stop now?

https://undark.org/2025/04/08/melatonin-children-bedtime/ This is a good read about the melatonin epidemic for anyone who isnt familiar. No real new info for those already on board. I think this is going to be a real problem. A powerful hormone with multiple effects, manufactured in a candy...

I have no doubt thats just the first in a long line of subversive bullshit. It'll be interracial, LGBTQ, the White Witch did nothing wrong from start to finish. Its weird, I should be madder. These are great childhood memories and some of the last vestiges of Christian storytelling in modern...

I'm a little confused by the confusion over Apple TV spending. Isnt the answer always "ridiculous salaries"?

We're rewatching S1 right now. First time through, I was surprised that I was ok with the ridiculous black valyrians. Because like you say, it did make the bastard thing more obvious. But rewatching it I notice something fucked up. Not one single time does anyone refer to their skin color. Its...

Bruh, I'm sharing old guy tips with my fellow old men. "Poop shaming". Where do you people come up with this shit? Also, sounds like something a weekly pooper would say

This is a solved problem. Seriously. If you're only pooping every few days, stop whatever else you have planned for today and solve that problem. Its not OK. You're gonna feel like an entirely different person and regret the wasted years.

https://isbscience.org/news/2024/07/16/timing-is-everything-isb-study-finds-link-between-bowel-movement-frequency-and-overall-health/ If you don't poop at a normal frequency, microbes in your gut run out of soluble fiber and switch to fermenting amino acids, which leads to toxin production...

Know what solved the soap dispenser problem forever without any downsides, and was available hundreds of years ago? A fucking bar of soap. I swear to fuck, they are intentionally making everything stupid and gay, and it seems like damn near everyone is just A-OK with it. "Hey this is new so...

Finally caught up. Every scene with Starlight is 100% uncanny valley territory. Just bizarre and hard to look at.

2% is A-OK but 3% is wealth redistribution? Like the old punchline, the basic principle is already established, now we're just haggling over the price

You have a serious reading comprehension issue, friend. My post was like a couple sentences long and not even controversial. Maybe youre dehydrated. I was genuinely confused how both you and Dr Retardo apparently took my post as some kind of argument. Looking back the only thing I can...
