No rich people are. It takes a certain type of mental state to amass more wealth than you and your family can spend while ignoring your conscience about the people you’re exploiting. In the fairly distant future I feel this will be officially identified as a disorder, similar to sociopathy.

As a Chinese person, it doesn’t taste better if cooked by someone familiar with it either lol. My parents love it for some reason and have tried to get me to eat it many times.

Jean Luc Picard’s fake French accent.

Actual French accent doesn’t even come close.

Maggie and the Ferocious Beast (the first English cartoon I remember watching), Rolie Polie Olie, Martha Speaks, Franklin, Little Bear, Total Drama Island/Action, and 6Teen taught me English when I came to Canada.

Star Trek got me started on my path to tankiehood and sci-fi writing. Futurama also significantly contributed to the latter.

Pokemon, Wonderpets and Redwall (and many of the cartoons from the learning English category) got me interested in writing animal characters. Zootopia pissed me off so much with its inconsistent world building that it sealed the deal and made me obsessed with perfecting my own fictional animal world.

Family Guy taught me how not to write characters and their interactions.

How It’s Made is just awesome and satisfying, no further comments.

I find lot of seafood disgusting, and the unsustainability of wild caught seafood is just the cherry on top.

Unagi. Doesn’t taste that special and has a texture like dried out overcooked fish complete with the occasional sharp scale or bone that stabs your throat. Definitely not worth decimating wild eel populations for.

Related, any kind of fish eggs. Whether caviar or salmon roe sushi. They’re like those popping bubbles in bubble tea but instead of a nice sweet fruit syrup it’s concentrated fish stink that coats your tongue and overpowers everything else.

Oysters and clams (bivalves in general). You’re literally eating its entire digestive system complete with poop. The crunchy sand is just a reminder of that. And eating it raw is a great way to get parasites and hepatitis.

One that’s not seafood: asparagus. People say it makes your pee stink but somehow don’t talk about how much the vegetable itself stinks going in. Maybe I’ve just never found a cooking method I like but I’ve never tasted an asparagus that doesn’t make me wince when swallowing. I personally love the vast majority of vegetables, many of which I prefer compared to meat, but asparagus (and Chinese bitter melon) are exceptions.

Any kind of alcohol in general. I think beer tastes and smells like the liquid at the bottom of a dumpster, so does wine, and any kind of spirit tastes like literal poison. Whatever psychoactive effects it has is not worth the constant nausea during and after drinking. If I’m looking for psychoactive effects, I prefer edible cannabis extract, still doesn’t taste that great but you only need a tiny amount to get high which you can chase down with regular food to make the taste go away.

I think they are just expensive because they are rare and fragile, not because they are magically delicious.

Most of the snooty rich people food are like this. It’s also why they’re so threatened by cheap mass produced alternatives. If the knockoffs were actually significantly inferior in flavour they wouldn’t be threatened.

No shit.

Do you remember how much RAM it was?

I see your point and accept it. However, I don’t think that takes away from the broader fact that this is significantly less likely to happen to white people compared to Middle Eastern.

How else are people supposed to fight terrorists? Say please and thank you?

kicking the gun

Because someone intent on helping them shoot people definitely does that.

with his hands up

Oh so they could clearly see he wasn’t holding a weapon.

So why did the public mob the guy then? They saw him literally fighting the gunman and still assumed he’s one of them? If it was a pale skinned blond guy they 100% would have believed him when he said he’s trying to help, but because he’s Middle Eastern they refused to see past the “terrorist” stereotype.

And if they didn’t see him fighting the terrorist, that’s worse. They attacked a random Middle Eastern guy assuming all of them are terrorists. Why didn’t they go after any of the white people on the beach in the same way?

It happens.

With a much, much lower likelihood of it happening if the guy was white, I bet.

He got shot because he “looked” like a terrorist in the police/public’s eyes, despite being the one fighting the terrorists.

They didn’t deserve him.

the refugee is then challenged by members of the public, who mistake him for a terrorist

Ooh I wonder that ethicity he was and what ethnicities the “members of the public” were.

I submit that this happened not because Australia recognizes Palestine, but that it doesn’t recognize Palestine in all but pointless words. If Palestine was actually recognized as an independent country on the world stage this wouldn’t have happened.

Though whoever feels the need to shoot random people partying on a beach is obviously not right in the head so there’s also a chance they would have just picked something else as their reason.

My dog chewed a plastic bag containing the special proprietary cables for a computer display/input switch. I think she just wanted the bag and the cables were collateral damage, because she’s never chewed cables on their own before or since.

They refuse to sell the cables separately so it made the device itself useless unless I buy another one for like $100. Ended up not bothering and giving up on having a peripheral switch because I refuse to give them that much money again just because a $10 set of cables broke and reward their shitty business practices. I just manually switch the actual display and USB cables when I want to control another computer.

Also blew my mind just how strong a bite force even a small breed dog has. She totally crushed the metal casing surrounding the plug and shattered the plastic molding in the less than one minute she had it. I can’t even do that with my teeth (then again I’ve never tried).

They only give a shit because the US is threatening to take their colony away from them.

Pot calling the kettle blackDanes calling the Americans white.
