The closer I get to that “old chef” icon myself, the more I come to realize that the majority of it is projected onto the concept from the surrounding culture… (I blame that very thing for contributing in large part to the robbing us all of Bourdain, in fact. 🙇🏽♂️💔)
TBF, not only would that same Italian person you envision also die every time a “pizza” is made, (IRL, they’re far hardier as a people) but I personally reached a similar point in my impression of “proper” sushi. 🤷🏽♂️ For decades now, I’ve looked down on cream cheese, et al, used as ingredients in rolls of all kinds. That eventually evolved into other disdainful opinions on adjacent foods’ contents, but I’ve fairly recently discovered a simple fact: in its culture of origin, sushi is known to on occasion include ice cream as an ingredient.
Therefore? Such quixotic prescriptionism is worse than useless: it restricts access to experiences based on fabricated and imaginary rules (or, face the piercing judgment of… actually no one at all).
Fuck what “people” say. Engage with your wife’s view, and maybe even join her in exploring what other curious ways one can enjoy weird shit. 🫀🖖🏽
Guillotines with “Heroes Work Here” signs atop them.
Fraud: not just for politicians! Whee.
I don’t disagree with that basic sentiment, but it’s the griefers and whiners that get pissy when they FAFO. Downvote all you want, fellas; the fact remains: if you’re being a dick, no one cares if you get your ass handed to you. “Cheating” or not.
SoT is the only game I find a particular satisfaction with running a script once asshats get punchy. I’m fine just fishing or plinkin’ around with the hang, but when dealing with squeakers, they all go down to Davey Jones asap until they rage quit. Fuckem.
Yep, the legal team advised a scare tactic akin to ISPs fishing for low-effort compliance. Reminds me of CAMP & the ATF busting farms in Mendicino until the '10s.
Borrowed? Heh. Nicked whole-cloth, more like: General Hux, addressing troops arranged in the “Nuremberg” pattern; the battle of Mimban = WWI Western front, in space; stormtroopers in Stirnpanzer; Soontir Fel = Red Baron — to say nothing of Baron Valen Rudor, and Vault Skerris; etc.
Hell, if you’d like a fun rabbit hole, look into the Twi’leks’ Ryloth liberation as French Revolution, OG Sith as ancient Egypt/Aztec civs, Empire expansionism as HRE/Spain/US, etc. 🤓
The man’s not known for ingenuity. Then again, neither is GRRM. 🤷🏽♂️
Did you miss the part where they’re clearly posting from the department of redundancy department? 🤪
