đŸ”„ Post Your Hot Takes... Even the Oddly Specific Ones

The opinions of grown ups who view the world through the filter of children’s movies, should be ignored.

Why? Does private include homeschooling?

IMO Japanese food >>> other cuisine regardless of regional variation

I’m a seafood lover (fish is part of every Japanese region’s cuisine) and Japanese food hits all tastes and textures regardless of region
There are dishes I’m not such a fan of (e.g., Japanese curry), but on average, I’d be happy eating in Japan regardless where in the country you dropped me.

That’s definitely not true of China

I was pretty happy eating there, however eventually everything is too fishy. Fish sauce/flavor was in almost every dish I had. I think my sweat started smelling like fish after about 5 days.

Northern part of Japan where I was the sushi/sashimi was insanely fresh and the abalone sashimi practically melted like candy.

My in-laws bring me food from the local temple. Completely vegetarian and some of the best stuff I’ve ever eaten.

Ehh, I’ll give you half credit on this one.

Being an adult and a parent doesn’t mean you get promoted to a higher-tier person who has to view the world through a certain lens. I watch way more kids movies and cartoons because I want to spend time with them and understand their joy. Plus it’s necessary to follow because it shapes their minds. I want to see what they see.

Now the wierd adults who are obsessed with Disney are something else, with the princess complex.

Like DeSantis.

Random story - I was born in Korea, my family was stationed in Seoul. My mother mentioned that she would ride trains and subways with impeccably dressed people in designer suits, dressed to the nines, and they all reeked of garlic. Kimchi is a hell of a drug.

I still like kimchi though.

me too. Maybe it’s like cigarette smoke. All the other folks eating kimchi just get so used to the smell they can’t tell it’s there anymore.

I have yet to come across a type of pickled vegetable I didn’t like

I guess it helps that my nose barely works

:joy:

Try to make sense of this:

The word historic should never be used when referring to things that just happened. Everything that happens technically never happened before in exactly that same way. That doesn’t make it “historic.”

The people who clap between words to try and make their point on social media are a special kind of dumbass.
(Maybe this should cross post to the pissed odd thread).

Very high IQ people make great specialists but terrible generalists, especially when the IQ is accompanied by the kind of ego you can only get from impressive achievements.

Depends on mouthy, and especially the words chosen.

You might want to talk to a lawyer before giving out legal advice.

I have. Certain phrases, especially in a heated or threatening situation, absolutely fall under the banner of standing your ground. Every bullet carries the risk of a jury seeing things differently, of course, but the simple answer to his question is “yes, situationally”.

Shifting the goalposts. You replied to “mouthy.”
