Thank you! This is exactly the kind of thing that interests me. There's a documentary on Netflix called Searching for General Tso that I've been meaning to watch, dunno if you've seen it but it seems to be along those lines.

There's vomit down his gorget already / salty and bready

Is it not a lady with some kind of thing on her face?

You know, given now notionally opposed our worldviews are, I've always thought you talk sense a lot of the time.

See also: brisket, pork shoulder and belly, lamb shanks and forequarter, etc etc.

Maybe it would, actually. Or even brighter white, perhaps.

The weird thing is that some (but not all) Republicans have backed themselves into a rhetorical corner where, in opposing Obamacare, they're basically opposed to medical insurance full stop. Like the concept of pooled risk is tantamount to s-s-s-socialism. Completely user-pays healthcare has been tried before, and…

You know, broadly speaking I agree with you. Calling out hypocrisy is almost never effective, and I'd say it's a useless crutch especially when the person you're disputing doesn't care whether or not they're being hypocritical. I sidetracked myself there though - my initial point was not that it's hypocritical to want…

Well, I guess, now it's (broadly speaking) white on black, which would still likely earn her the nickname domino. How would a black eye thing against Zazie Beetz's skin evoke one?

That's a pretty big 'probably,' but if it was the case I wouldn't think it would be unreasonable to criticise Bernie for it.

None of those are directly analogous to someone benefiting from Obamacare who wants to see it done away with entirely, I don't think. In the case of your final example, someone who was entirely opposed to the existence of the military on pacifist grounds, but who then signed up anyway, would be just as wrong-headed as…

But that's exactly the difference I'm highlighting - it's not unreasonable to want to reform something you benefit from, but to want to get rid of it entirely for purely ideological reasons isn't even hypocritical, it's just idiotic. Especially keeping in mind that there is little to no publically known plan…

If a person is going to a public university, it would be dumb for that person to argue that public education shouldn't exist, wouldn't it?

Hell, it's already at least two cultures removed from its Mexican antecedent, but food is absolutely where I draw the line at worrying about cultural appropriation anyway. You can pry my anchos and my fish sauce and my garam masala from my cold, dead hands.

Yeah. For every Peep Show there are two dozen My Families.

I'm actually pretty fascinated by the way "ethnic" cuisines get syncretised with local ingredients and eating habits. Like, Australian Chinese food and American Chinese food are clearly quite different from one another as well as having, in some cases, a pretty tangential link with any actual Chinese cooking tradition.

People who still assert that British comedy is better than American comedy either have legitimately appalling taste or haven't watched much comedy in the last fifteen years.

For a lot of us outside the US, until pretty recently tacos meant ground beef cooked with Old El Paso seasoning, hard shells, shredded iceberg, grated cheese, and jarred salsa. Maybe some Pico de Gallo if you even knew what that was.

You say "minus the tater tot topping."

I genuinely hope you don't suffer from the enormous mistake you've made.
