  • Am I weird for making rice specifically for fried rice?

  • Dangit, my brain got stuck on the word "cook" when looking for a comm and I forgot about c/food.

    How in the world do you start with fresh rice though? Won't it end up to smushy?

  • My brother in Christ, the conservative brain worms are already here and they didn't need to understand English to get them

  • Another big issue, which is a bit more insidious, is drive for cost reduction. Language learning apps and AI aren't great for gaining fluency, but it is cheaper, which drives down the price for language teachers and assistants. This drives down the price for "native" English teachers, which wouldn't be so bad on its own, but that cost reduction effect is amplified for non-native English speakers - Japan takes a lot of English speakers from the Phillipines, for example, and pays them damn near NOTHING.

    Speaking of gross imperialist hiring practices in Japan, I know of a few manufacturing companies which hire immigrant labor abroad. The pay is bad enough, but since this immigrant labor is usually contracted through a scouting company, a percentage of all their paychecks is going to these leeches. Not only that, but these same companies I'm aware of only hire Japanese descendants in poor countries, namely Brazil. Additionally, if these descendants are more than 3rd or 4th gen descendants, they will not be hired.

  • Buh bye

  • I can't imagine why.

  • For the small small price of me not dying while my country gets bombed, these rubes could have US corporations buying all of our national industries while buying me off and making me rich, how could these peasants be so blind and shortsighted as to not support me???

  • Trump is literally doing the "don't believe your lyin' eyes" meme in regards to the price of food fucking skyrocketing.

  • Should I watch Pluribus just to be ready to explain to my two friends who are watching it why it's anticommunist garbage?

    Jump

  • I was wondering why more people weren't talking about the show and was hoping for some discussion about it on here.

    Now I'd rather you guys go back to Mamdani struggle sessions, at least that bait is easier to ignore. The takes here and everywhere else are garbage and a waste of time to read.

  • or a dumb American

    That's the point. It's a line Carol, the dumb American, says.

  • Starting to think that Pluribus is a criticism of AI

    Jump

  • That would be part or the critique - taking the stereotypical American idea of communism to its extreme and then asking "what's so wrong with this, even if what you believe about it is even true?"

    saying Stalin is a mass murderer

    Again, part of the critique - Carol is the chauvinistic American in this story, these are the things Americans believe.
