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.

    Maybe radical, maybe not, I don’t know. Instagram has a policy of no nudity, with some exceptions. A notable one is for breastfeeding, which has led to this weird category on Instagram of… I guess it’s Breastfeeding Porn, I don’t know what else to call it (?). It’s bizarre because the videos being made are obviously meant to just show off naked boobs… but with young children in them. So, IMO, it’s dipping its toes into exploitation, but because it’s technically “breastfeeding” it’s perfectly fine with Instagram. It’s this weird situation where, showing your tits in a video by yourself is considered “offensive” or not safe for children… unless you film your tits out with a child in the video. Honestly, they should just allow all nudity via some sort of gatekeeping program or something that tries to keep kids from viewing it, but the breastfeeding exception has just created a weird porn sub-genre.

    And I’m sure there’s legitimate reasons why somebody would take a video of themselves breastfeeding, maybe for instructional purposes for other mothers or something, whatever, I’m sure that’s a thing and I’m not knocking that. And I know breastfeeding creates a strong bond between mother and child, it’s a normal, natural thing that happens, I get that, but these videos in particular don’t seem to have any purpose that I can make out. These videos are just women staring at the camera, their tits hanging out and off to the side is some kid greedily suckling on one boob. If this is such a sacred relationship between mother and infant, shouldn’t it be kept private? Sure, women can breastfeed in public because they literally have to feed their child… but broadcasting it to the world doesn’t seem like a necessary part of that.

      When I was a little kid, I ate one of those red peppers at a Chinese restaurant. I didn’t know that you were supposed to pick them out. This probably explains my love of spicy food.

      I was on a school trip to a hotel, and was handed some dragon fruit. They didn’t tell me how to eat it, so I bit right into it. Took out a big chunk and wanting to try something new I kept chewing it.

      The man had a look of what was a mix between horror and surprise on his face and told me to spit it out.

      Not really a plate but I was handed something with inedible parts and no instructions. Similar I suppose?

      Fun fact: The original purpose of parsley on a plate was that it was there for you to eat. Specifically there for you to eat at the end of a meal as a breath freshener.

    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.

      Hmmm while I agree about Hawaiian pizza, I will say that cheese pizza shares the properties of consistency of all 3 states.

      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

    My wife eats the tail. She’s Japanese, that’s normal. I don’t though, so please no tails mixed in…

      Hah, my Japanese wife has convinced me to eat them too. I eat about 50% of them now.

        More power to ya! What about natto? She tried to get me to like it but I can’t tolerate the smell. I found it’s a very easy lunch for my 2 year old who loves it, though.

          Yeah, no, I don’t like the smell, taste, or texture. I have made natto for her in an instant pot, though. She said it came out okay but I still didn’t eat it!

        Alright, I’m off to search what nutrients shrimp tails have now.

        Couldn’t find much. Most everything I found is that they are mostly chitin and they have fiber, omega 3’s, and no real break downs of nutritional facts. Lots of recommendations to just fry them, and one that said to save the tails/exoskeletons and put them in the freezer to turn into a stock. Lots of “just fry the whole thing”. I rarely eat shrimp, but maybe I’ll try the stock and then drain, season/cornstarch and fry the tails at some point to see if they can be made to taste like spicy shrimp chips?

      Look up “spaghetti allo scoglio”, basically spaghetti with various shelfish (and other sea food). They leave all the shells on by design. They also bring a separate empty plate on the side to dump them in, and a wet (lemon) wipe to clean yourself after. Cleaning the molluscs from the shells it’s basically part of enjoying the plate. And it’s good!

        I’m sure the dish is delicious. But when I go to a restaurant and I have to do work to eat to food, I always get annoyed. I’m paying for this meal so I don’t have to work, dammit.

    Amusingly as I was reading this comment thread my room service arrived and it had shrimp with the tails buried in pasta.

      It does depend what you consider “the whole series.”

      Does Tingle RPG count? Does Link’s Crossbow Training?

      Other questions that probably wouldn’t matter for best or worst game in the series, but would for a complete ranking might be whether remakes/remasters count as separate games or not and if not, do we judge on the basis of the remaster or the original? (Either way, all the remasters are inferior to the originals. Maybe that’s my most radical, non-left-right position. That and Breath of the Wild was better than Tears of the Kingdom.)

        You asked for my most radical opinion.

        It’s an ADHD texture thing, the texture of onions does not mesh with any other food (maybe edible paper?), so it’s always jarring to bite an onion while eating food.

          I’m with you when the onions are raw. Cooked, the texture is tolerable enough that the taste is worth it IMO. Though I do prefer them chopped small or sliced thin no matter what.
