Populism Updates @PopulismUpdates Tell me your most radical position that cannot be placed on the left-right political spectrum
Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it’s already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

Every bathroom everywhere should have a bidet.
Absolutely. I got one for my house and having to use the shitty 1-ply paper in public bathrooms sucks so much. It feels terrible and doesn’t clean nearly as well.
A simple spray hose next to the toilet is so great. Not only for use as a bidet but also for cleaning
Not only does pineapple belong on pizza, ham & pineapple pizza is the only pizza that is consistent in all three states: fresh and hot, cold, and reheated.
I despise when people are food traditionalists. If we listened to them, we’d still be eating like British people.
I grew up in El Salvador listening to people insist that only beans, cheese and pork go in pupusas. Otherwise it’s a sin! Well the young people now make them with everything you can think of from shrimp to sweet potato and it’s incredible.
You don’t like pineapple on pizza don’t eat it
To add my personal opinion. New York/North American pizza is better than Italian pizza
The reason why it’s good when reheated is the moisture in the pineapple. It keeps the dough from becoming a rock formation when reheating.
For non-pineapple pizza, adding a bowl of water into the microwave has the same effect.
That said, the argument is not whether pineapple is good on pizza or not, ofc it is, everything is good on pizza. But is it the best topping? No, that’s anchovies and capers (olives are good too).
I like pineapple and bacon pizza but you and I are not allies lol
The good thing about liking pizza that everyone finds disgusting is that you never have to share.
You’re absolutely right about that
Hmmm while I agree about Hawaiian pizza, I will say that cheese pizza shares the properties of consistency of all 3 states.
I also love some pineapple on pizza, but a plain cheese pizza is my favorite
Olives. Green, black or Kalamata.
You lost me at olives!
All of you are vile heretics.
So burn me at the stake, like you did to you taste (for pizza)
I don’t need to. The Italians will.
They’re welcome to try!
I’m gonna add more pineapple, my heresy cannot be stopped.
Videogames should go with inflation and get more expensive instead of trying to cramp in in-game purchases and deluxe editions and whatever.
I don’t want to own a “license” to a Game, I want to own the Game
Turning off Servers for goods you bought without offering a replacement should be illegal.
The QWERTY-type keyboard is a dated relic, especially in the electronic era, where there aren’t physical mechanisms to jam because you pushed the buttons too quickly.
This is particularly applicable to touch screens, where the format is particularly ill-suited, and ought to be replaced by something more suitable and intuitive.
None of the doom and gloom really matters, every human in history has lived in a time of crisis. How we handle the challenges at hand determine the challenges for those that follow, but panicking about it is a waste of energy.
It’s really hard to accept this these days. Before new media, people often had no idea what was going on outside their town or villiage. Must have been bliss (Except for the entrenched poverty, filth, disease and oppression of course lmao). Now it’s hard to avoid learning about who got killed in what gruesome way today.
Right?? I love shrimp but I hate eating things with my hands. No matter the dish, I pull those tails off and I know how to do it without losing any meat. I can’t stand tails on shrimp as I’m trying to eat
Souls games should have an easy mode and it’s fine if only the original hard mode is a well balanced experience. I just want to have fun and enjoy the view.
Same with meat on the bone for me. Like… I love a biryani, but it’s so much better when the chicken/lamb is boneless. I get that the bone imparts some flavor, but I don’t think it’s worth the effort and mess.
Anything I can’t eat with my hands, should not be covered in a sauce that I don’t want on my hands.
Fried shrimp with tails = fine. Bone-in chicken legs = fine. Bone-in chicken in biryani = not ordering. Shrimp with tail in pasta = sin against god and crime against humanity.
Buffalo wings violate that rule and I’m not prepared to give them up.
For me, the rule would be: if it’s a dish meant to be eaten with utensils, don’t include inedible parts that have to be separated by hand.
Ribs. I don’t mind saucy ribs. I suppose if you are supposed to use your hands, maybe it’s okay if they get a bit saucy.
Yeah I think that’s the big thing: don’t have a dish that requires shifting from utensil to fingers and back… especially if there’s sauce.
I don’t really like buffalo wings. I know boneless wings are basically just “nuggies”, but I prefer them, especially if things are getting saucy.
A dry spice blend can make for acceptable wings, but I actually still prefer something like a spicy breading and a bigger piece of chicken, if I’m going to have to deal with bones.
But, I will admit that is a good border case, and isn’t quite the sin that shrimp w/ tail covered in cream sauce is.
I once had pasta with whole mussels mixed in. Could never be too sure my next bite wouldn’t have a big chunk of shell in it. Shit was expensive for what it was too, they definitely could have paid some guy just to stand there in the kitchen and remove the shells as it goes onto the plate for what we were paying. Not a radical opinion this just reminded me of it.
People who order and eat chili mussels (with shells) at restaurants are insane and are getting ripped off. it is the least practical dish, and by weight, half of it is inedible. I think it’s also a massive pain in the ass for kitchen staff to prepare.
We’re fucked. We’re probably witnessing the last decade of relative stability.
People have been saying this for thousands of years, though. In some cases, they weren’t even wrong to think it. But for a country as wealthy and well insulated and exhaustively policed as the average Western state?
Come on. We don’t even have COVID era crime rates, much less the lead /cocaine fueled crime bonanzas of the 1970s and 80s.
Relative to what? The Great Depression? The Civil War? The collapse of the Aztec Empire?
We’re a blip on the radar.
Climate refugees are going to turn the “migrant crime” rhetoric into overdrive. My opinion, but it’s clearly the Boogeyman that Fascism is rallying against. There are great swaths of land that are experiencing temperatures and severe weather that are incompatible with human life.
Fascists don’t have the foresight to think of consequences of climate change. They’re also in denial that climate change is a thing at all, since one of their sources of funding is fossil-fuel extractors, including a certain large Eurasian nation-state.
Their real motivation for being anti-immigrant is that they are racist scum who are always looking for vulnerable populations to victimise.
There always has to be the group to other, to perceive as both the weak to subjugate yet simultaneously the downfall of society.
My enemies are both strong and weak.
There are a few videos on the 14 characteristics of Fascism but these are my favorite.
Let’s talk about 14 characteristics, 10 stages, and where you are…
Let’s talk about Trump’s accomplishments
Bold of you to assume I hail from land of bacon and guns. If I come to your land I’ll be seen as someone who eats cats. So either way I’m in shit.
Absolutely! Also, I can’t stand ordering whole crab at a restaurant. I just want the meat without the hassle of cracking open the legs and body, getting my hands dirty, slurping all over, and dealing with the mess. Someone should handle that in the kitchen. I can boil a crab at home if I want to work to get the food out.
I pay excessive money at a restaurant to ensure I have to do no work and everything within reason is edible. If this is not the case when I get it, I love nothing more than sending it back, and if I don’t think they’ll not mess with my food or give me any attitude I will leave and they’ll eat the loss (and maybe the tails).
To this end, korean bbq is a fucking scam. You have to cook the food yourself. It’s so stressful.
Nah it’s fun to do with friends. The restaurant marinates and prepares everything. The food cooks fast.
It’s like saying fondue places are shitty. Their prices might be but the experience isn’t.
You think so? I only did it once, but I had fun. It was way too expensive for the novelty though.
I have also watched the movie Lost In Translation.
You can just eat the tails
Excellent source of dietary Chitin
You can eat the heads too but I’d prefer not to have them in my spaghetti, same goes for the tails
I had a Japanese-American girlfriend for a couple of years who would gladly dispose of the prawn heads for me. I tried them (“how bad could they be?”) but it was a taste I could never acquire. And I’m open-minded about food-- tried natto and got to enjoy it, same with uni, even managed to have Taiwanese stinky tofu. The only other food I could never stomach was balut.
You can eat ass too, doesn’t mean everyone is into it
The shrimp tail is nothing, but when the intestine is left in the shrimp, that bothers me!
One Big Union.
