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.
This is what I hate about any kind of hobby culture and have always been hesitant to identify as any. The amount of toxicity that comes out of what is supposed to be entertainment is unreal.
So many people demand respect for their esoteric obsessions yet refuse to respect anyone else’s. Like, in the end none of it matters so just enjoy what you like doing and let others enjoy what they like doing. Why bother spending your limited time and energy hating on stuff when you can just ignore it?

Also the babies that were never conceived due to women in socialist countries getting silly things like rights, bodily autonomy, and careers. According to that one black book.
We don’t actually have an issue with the label
I’ll keep proudly calling myself a tankie as long as it pisses the libs off
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.
Lesson learned for all the non-whites: if you see white people in danger, walk away because they’re not going to let silly things like “literally saving their lives” get in the way of assuming you’re the bad guy.
If this is genuine, please touch grass. If not, please fuck off.
Again, the “assuming you’re the bad guy based on your ethnicity regardless of what you did” part has been shown to actually happen to non-white people much more frequently than white people in white majority countries. And by “lesson learned” I was referring to the fact that this is something many people will inevitably think after seeing a story like this even if they don’t say it, though I should have made that more clear.
I admit I was too snarky/aggressive/us-vs-them with my wording, I see your point there and deleted that comment as I no longer wish to say those exact words. But, is the fact that THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENS not a bigger problem that plagues society than how politely people articulate it? How about we work on not having this happen or at least not having it be more likely to happen to certain ethnicities than others so no one makes those comments again instead of dismissing it as the person who points it out needing to fuck off? Do the people responsible for causing this racial injustice not also have the responsibility to contribute to mitigating it in the future?
What’s the real race war? Making random snarky comments on Lemmy or literally attacking a guy trying to save you because he fits the collective description of a “terrorist,” or defending those attacks as an “inevitable” part of saving people when it’s clearly been shown it’s many times more likely to happen to ethnicities perceived to be more likely to be terrorists?
Are all the large scale studies showing that police/the public in white majority countries are much more likely to assume a non-white person is a perpetrator whenever any attack on the public happens also pushing race war shit? You can’t imagine how this could have possibly played out differently if the guy wasn’t Middle Eastern “like the terrorist who shot at us?”
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.
Does the official Lemmy source code actually delete data when a delete activity comes in or does it just stop displaying it? Just curious.
