she wants to be poly, without my half being open.

@Damaged and Suffering:

Mainly because (and you’ll call me an idiot for this one) she is still married to the father of her children.

So if someone gets chlamydia and it takes months to develop, would that be called a...*puts on sunglasses*...slow clap?

I’ve read this and all your responses. You’re essentially being a snob about how one chooses to protest. Why?

Is attempting to shame a columnist on the internet a valuable use of your time? One presumes that your finger wagging stems from a belief that other people aren’t doing as much as you are to stand up for/against various causes and/or issues. Is picking apart a blog post to cast aspersions on its author an effective…

According to the article, we’re supposed to mock you for being psychic, since you’re being a “lie detector” and don’t know, factually, if he read the article or not.

I guess I just don’t have that much pride wrapped up in my country-of-origin’s food production industry.

Good on you, Totilo.

Much as we must accept certain things in our entertainment that are less than ideal, we must also—sometimes—accept situations in the geopolitical arena that are less than ideal for the maintenance of baseline peace (and military/business relationships).

The wanton murder of a journalist critical of…

Regardless of how much rigor they put into the blind taste test, the results are still going to be 100% subjective. Why invest in rigor if your test is meaningless no matter what you do?

Anyone who got to take the auction tour at the old Tsukiji Market was lucky. Yes, it was crazy that they let tourists in, but that was what made it awesome. You had to be in line no later than 3AM in the morning to even have a chance of getting in. If you were one of the first 60 in line you then had to sit on the…

Urgh MOS burger... The worse about them is not the food, it’s the gloomy decor inside the restaurant. Looks so bleak and tasteless it makes the food taste bad.

Now, if you want a real burger and you’re around shibuya, go to J.S. Burgers. It’s the best fucking burger I ever had and it’s not that expensive.

Outside growing pains, it’s important for people to know the market is being rellocated exactly because of the reasons posted.

Because (1) tourists were only allowed in during the slow times of the day and (2) they have security around to keep people in check. I have been through Tsukiji and it is a polite, sedate affair. I actually bought some fish (the best Chūtoro and Toro I’ve ever had) for my hosts while I was there. The shop owner,…

Just a cookie??!?!?

I managed to sneak in and have sushi at Tsukiji outer market before the move (took my vacation mid Sept.). Our guide mentioned sellers being, mmm, miffed at tourists. Specifically ones that took pictures without permission and poked the fish. Like how?

Cordoning off tourists isn’t a bad thing. How they tolerated that as long as they did at Tsukiji baffles me.

You’re so right.  No one should even be paying you for this nonsense.

That’s a terrible response, putting a damper on the mini taste test. You took the time to research/write/publish the post; you should stand tall on your findings. Sounds like your tastebuds checked out and moved to a more exciting mouth and your soul has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

It’s actually just an article in which you try to establish trust so you can get paid on a mildly interesting and purposefully divisive topic...
