I would argue there is definitely a difference between "do what I say or suffer" and "do what I say and you'll have a better go of things." The latter sounds more like advice than abuse.
Given that all humans have a natural right to life, saying that a minority group shouldn't exist because of who/what they are is literally the opposite of treating them as human beings. It's hate speech, period.
Looks delicious! I like the pops of color the mayo and avocado lend to the dish. I started making a similar dish recently, except I marinated the salmon for ~3 hours in 1 part sake, 1 part soy sauce, and 3 parts mirin. Drizzling the remaining marinade from the pan over the salmon/rice makes it divine, but it does look a little plain by itself. Might follow your example and add some colorful sides!
I read somewhere once that one theory behind deja vu is that it's the result of a temporary de-sync between your left and right brain hemispheres. Usually signals reach each hemisphere at about the same time, but sometimes the signals can be de-synced by a few milliseconds and (theoretically) cause you to process the same thing twice in quick succession, giving you the vague impression of familiarity on the second signal process.
Edit: Messed up a bit. Each hemisphere sends a signal to the temporal lobe for processing, and that's where the de-sync can happen.
Yeah, of course they do. They literally form the cornerstone of your worldview. If you change someone's beliefs, you change how they see the world. That sounds pretty damn big and important.
My girlfriend has the same issue. Her doctor told her she was allergic specifically to cat saliva, and since they groom themselves with their tongues their fur has little bits of saliva on them, which triggers a less intense reaction than direct cat licks.
