I recommend watching this video from Jennifer Lee: youtu.be/U6MhV5Rn63M
It talks about the history of Chinese food in America it’s great. Echoes some of the flavours you’ve experienced with some fun context.

I’m sure your specific instance is justified and in doing so, you don’t need a random internet stranger like myself to tell you it’s okay.
- Comment on Rent is theft 4 days ago:
A lot of these people are likely tech folks. A lot of tech folks get high paying jobs. They used that pay to buy property.
A lot of these guys are landlords and are trying to convince people that the rent they charge is fair, market rate, and a favour because they’re taking on “risk” while you pay for their mortgage.
- Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K 1 week ago:
I like my frame because it faces a set of windows and with all my other tvs … I would have to close the blinds to see the tv in the day time.
However, the software is straight garbage. I didn’t even know about the favourite thing … every time I change source it would spend like a minute or two trying to figure out if it could connect to it for no reason.

The same songs and sound effects to some stupid reaction video.
Dear God. My friend sent me a video about some Japanese person with some cooking method or something that he recommended I should make try. The video he sent me was annoying as fuck. It was a couple screaming at each other: “OMG IS THAT THE NEW JAPANESE ____ METHOD?” “YES I THINK I’VE HEARD OF THAT” interspersed with the actual narration-free video. Had to stop it after 4-6 seconds.
I asked my friend how he could even stand watching it the video and he said his brain filters it out. I don’t know why it just repulsed me so much.
There’s also many videos with some person just playing another’s person’s video and they just point a finger upward to the actual playing video with some useless look on their face and the nodding.
I think this is the nature of these TikTok videos but I’m not really on TikTok much, I just get them sent to me every once in a while.
- Comment on Lobster feast 1 week ago:
I have a friend that’s Hindu and he told me his “friends” put ground beef into the lamb mince as a “prank”. He didn’t easily forgive them either. I don’t think that’s on this level, but I feel as though you should be able to feel out your friends enough to pull a prank. If you can’t really tell, then you shouldn’t mess with them.
That being said, six years is a REALLY long time 🤣

I saw a video where people have been freezing their rice … which is something I need to start doing because I just wind up eating way too much rice for meals.

It’s not fake news, it’s real.
Oh wait, you found it wasn’t?

That is a very fair statement.
- Comment on Huh? 3 weeks ago:
What you’re describing makes me kinda miss being a regular at a pub.
Post-COVID and moving to Canada … I find that I stay at home all the time nowadays. The bars I go to here are more establishments and have less of the home feel I used to get in Europe.
- Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories 1 month ago:
lol I was gonna make that joke (I am British too)
I do think it’s overstated about how bad British food is, at least nowadays but at the same time, we’re self-deprecating so lines up.

“I like to laugh”
I mean, I’ve never seen someone have a giggle and then frown and say: “that fucking sucked”

It’s like we hate the corporation too but they’re correct in this instance.

Some people say you can buy the tokens instead of a monthly subscription. They’re not as openly offered as they get more cash from monthly obviously.

- Comment on Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists 2 months ago:
Expedition 33 has great graphics fidelity but it has amazing art direction too. When people said all Unreal games just feel the same … I like the art style they chose to give it their own feel.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 2 months ago:
Me too. I bought the first quest before Facebook acquired it. Now that Facebook/Meta own quest and stuff … I’ve been staying away from VR for now.
I’ll definitely be doing my best to get one as soon as it’s available. Everything about it sounds hype.
- Comment on "The hope is to have a fresh 'Star Trek' movie, though [Paramount] has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot." 2 months ago:
I really liked Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto and enjoyed the first two movies. The first one far more than the second though.
The second had what I felt were unnecessary linked to their prequels and it’s also what the worst parts of Craig’s Bond and Solo were as well.
I don’t think they embodied the spirit of Star Trek though, but I was hoping they could have worked those out.

I’m scared to hell of fixing it, but you’re probably right. It’s better to lose my phone to repairs than lose my data to a random individual!

Oh, the last one I took to the shop was my Pixel 7 with water damage. I traded it for a Pixel 10 now.

Yeah :/ my password manager and everything is accessible! I have no defenses!
The thing is my phone is already in a dire state by the time they get it. I can’t pre-emptively wipe my phone :(

Also, how come they need to unlock the phone to replace the battery … like, I guess they’re running diagnostics?
But like, can do that without getting access to bloody everything on my phone?

- Comment on WTF BIT ME? 3 months ago:
Seriously, I’ve had it once before when I stayed at a place in New York almost 20 years back at this point.
I was like, oh … why are these bumps and why are they in a row? so weird!
Although, worse was when I got a bed in London UK at Swiss Cottage to just stay one night. It was like a dorm room bed. I think I estimated that I got like 200 bed bug bites in total. I had to estimate but it was crazy. What’s funny is that when you’re entire body is covered in bites, the itchiness bothers you a bit less because if it’s just one area you keep scratching it. However when it’s your whole body, you’re like … everywhere equally hurts so I don’t need to bother scratching. At least that’s what it was like for me.
Sorry, just releasing out the trauma :P
Now whenever I get any bites … I just freak out and wonder if it’s bed bugs. I woke up last night and noticed an itchy bump and just freaked myself out.

When my friend’s daughter was 9 years old and he was complaining how she didn’t know how to read an analogue clock.
I mean, I wound up teaching my nephews when they were 4 … not sure what’s stopping him from doing it though.

Supposed to do the end game content for Expedition 33 but I’ll probably just be doing rounds of Megabonk.
- Comment on Here we go again... 3 months ago:
I liked Korra too. I liked the aesthetics and call backs … they didn’t feel as “in your face”. It doesn’t have the majesty of the original series, but I liked it still!
- Comment on Here we go again... 3 months ago:
That’s fair.
I was mainly talking about the movie and netflix series.
I considered the original and series and Korra locked in together as they were made by the original creators and we were mainly talking about offshoots.
