  • I’m coming out swinging here.

    Movies? Right out, between the distinct fandoms of both American Sniper Part V: Killing Children, the acolytes of Marveslop and guy who’s really into french indie cinema to sexually assault women there really is nothing to save there. Get rid of it, I say, what difference does it make?

    Books? Pfff, there’s the door. A thousand women converted into abusal BDSM play by a badly written fanfic of twilight and you want that shit to go on? You in favour of Steel Storm and My Struggle? Thought not. Fuck books.

    Paintings? While Homeland Security is waxing about Kinkade? Statues, as if that’s not the #1 signifier for alt right weirdos now? Away it goes!

    I think you get the point. To judge a medium by it’s worst fans is inane, though. Capital G gamers suck, but so do so many different flavours or fans of other mediums. The problem is not the medium.



  • Where do you read up on techniques, then? I can read recipes and I’m a fine ass cook as substantiated by lots of people but what I want to learn is "if I were a stereotypical mom or grandma (vietnamese) what do I vietnamesically throw together out of the pantry? What do I even have in the pantry? What do I buy for special occasions because it’s worth the effort (and combine with things out of the pantry of mystery). Or is there even a pantry, does the whole thing kind of work on “go to local fresh market every two days”?


  • It’s enough of a melting pot I can find most non-persihables you mentioned easily but then there’s also really no good supply of fresh kimchi, for example. So I’m wondering, for example, with the abundance of sauerkraut here in germany if I were to just add some ingredients does that get close enough, you get me?

    I can easily do the equivalent of spaghetti and meatballs, i.e. italo-american, for most of anything and give a local pan fry the japanese / korean / vietnamese spin but it’s still not the cuisine





  • Wait there was a schism? Guess I haven’t been on there in awhile.

    This is at least 5 years back but I didn’t follow it too closely, IIRC they had a number of people leave over their refusal to go “we are entirely unpolitical” which of course would be a stupid thing to be for a creative writing site. I think it came after they cleaned up shop with their QA and threw out a shitload of grimdark edgelord bullshit that accumulated.

    Wasn’t Public Universal Friend nonbinary and afab? The male pronouns are throwing me off.

    Very much intentional, maybe go through it again










  • it’s multilayered though bc the cute guy is not only a cop, he’s a liberal

    I think this is missing the important layer that Kims style of liberalism in the world is both religion and political ideology. He’s “culturally christian” translated to the real world, he believes in the good things it all puts forth, he believes in doing his job to do well unlike half of the police department that he reports as going for fucking kill streaks. My man’s checked out of it due to the horrors, preferring to isolate himself from any broader topic and focus on the work at hand.
