  1. The irony of weeaboos is that they, as outsiders, are exalting and praising one of the most xenophobic cultures on the planet.

     

    I know, I respect Japan for a lot of reasons, but like any country, and contrary to what weeaboos believe, they aren't perfect, and they are notoriously xenophobic. I don't care if someone likes anime, even if they are obsessed with it, but I can't stand the people who just think japan and everything japanese is superior in every way. And just because they aren't from that country, people give them a free pass on this blatant racism. But it's not only that, they are just as insulting to the very culture they fetishize. They think of the japanese as these magical fairy people who come home from work at the anime factory and live in a weird music video every day. They're just people, like everyone else, and any show or book or movie they make isn't automatically better than any american show or book or movie by default of it being japanese.

    So they're basically comparing insulting someone's shirt to rape? That's a really shitty nonsense point. The whole "she had it coming dressed like that" thing is monstrously horrible because it's blaming a victim for something that nobody deserves to have happened to them. If you take out the rape part, you're not even making a point anymore, you're just saying one thing sounds like another thing. Unless the point is "criticizing someone's fashion is always unforgivably terrible, and nobody deserves that, no matter how stupid their clothes are" then those image macros are saying absolutely nothing. Except for the Kardashian one, which is pretty spot on, nobody complained about that obvious photoshop hack job.

  3. Not sure if I've ever had boudin, but I love me some andouille. I love sausage so much it more than borders on homoerotic. My brother-in-law makes his own sausage, and we have this party every year called sausagefest where we all bring different kinds of sausage, and the one he made for it this year was thanksgiving sausage. It was a turkey sausage with gravy, bread crumbs, and cranberries. It tasted pretty much exactly what he was going for, it was fucking awesome.


    I've never actually been to Louisiana, I've never even been outside California, but I'd love to go some day. It's the only place I really have any interest in visiting. Oh, and have you ever had whale meat? I haven't, but I had a friend in Norway who did, some guy in a truck sold it sometimes, he said it's really awesome. Of course that place is a flavorless wasteland, so it wouldn't be hard to impress someone there, but I opened his world a bit when it came to food. He had never even heard of barbecue sauce or teriyaki sauce before I met him, I introduced him to both. I even sent him a can of creole seasoning once, and it blew his mind, he started ordering chachere's off ebay after that and using it to make all the bland shit there taste good.


    As for mexican food, we definitely don't have a shortage of that here in CA, we have more mexican restaurants than starbucks. Each one is special in it's own way though. I go to one to get the best tacos, another to get the best enchiladas, another to get the best burritos and so on. My favorite taco place is only a few blocks away, it's open 24/7 and you can go in there at 3am and there's still a line! I always get a chicken, fish, and al pastor taco. Also I'm only like a 15 minute drive from the beach and the redondo pier, which is an awesome place, but seafood is still too damn expensive for me.


    So I'm pissed that seafood is too damn much, and that it's so hard to find a good andouille too!

  4. Or, and hear me out here, OR!...we can keep talking about food. You know what my favorite kind is? Cajun food. My dad's side of the family is from New Orleans and my grandma makes the best damn gumbo I've ever had, I've been eating it since I was a kid. I can make a kickass jambalaya and etouffee, and recently she finally taught me how to make gumbo, so the family has decided that once she can't do it anymore, I will take over as the gumbo chef. My ultimate dream in life, because I don't aim very high, is to make gumbo with alligator meat. But as far as I know, pretty much the only way to get it here is to order it. So I'm pissed that alligator meat isn't easier to get, and about the lack of cajun restaurants around here in general.

  5. Yeah, that's why I never bothered to learn, I've heard it's a tedious pain in the sack. We should totally replace currency with tamales, the world would be a better place. I'm a cheap slut so I'd babysit for just one tamale, but for a few dozen I'd dump a fucking body for them! Like I said, no substitute for homemade, cause I've had a lot of different kinds, and they're all good enough for me, cause again, cheap slut here, but nothing you can buy at a store or get at almost any restaurant even comes close to homemade. I'm pissed that I don't have some right now, I'm gonna have to eat like 9 eggs for dinner cause that's all the food I have.

  6. Don't tell me you know how to make tamales too, I swear I'll jizz all over the place! There's no substitute for homemade tamales, I buy some every chance I get. I know a few parking lots where you can usually find someone selling them from their car, one of them is outside where my dad works, so tamales are like a 3rd of his diet. There's only one restaurant I know that makes tamales that are almost that good, but they cost a little more. They also make my favorite burritos. As far as mexican food, I know how to make enchiladas and spanish rice and I can make decent tacos, and that's about it. So, I'm pissed that I don't know how to make tamales. We're really nailing this whole staying on topic thing huh?

  7. Oh yeah, I know what that's like. My mom keeps asking me to make pad thai again and I keep telling her I don't know how I did that, I just kept adding things till it tasted right. Asian food is the one mystery I just can't solve, the only time I get it right is through luck, I even have an easier time with indian food. I love making curry, especially this time of year, I wish I could make it every day during the fall and winter. It has a vague pumpkin taste to it when I make it. Oh, right, so I'm pissed that I can't make curry every day!


    I don't think I'd have to do much different if I was at a higher altitude though, I don't like baking and I barely use the oven. I mostly just use it for pizzas, lasagna, enchiladas, anything with melted cheese.

  8. I'm still tinkering with my turkey process a bit. I smoke it half way, then bake it the rest of the way. It's sorta the best of both worlds, and it's also the only way I've found that you can smoke it but still get gravy. If you do it just right, it's...transcendent. I got it perfect once, mostly by accident, and it was one of the most incredible things I've ever tasted, but I haven't been able to get it exactly like that again since, I always get one little detail wrong. There's a lot of complicated science involved. Math, and...pi, and such. Oh and I also brine it in my own special cajun brine and inject it with cajun butter, and I have a few other tricks. I've developed it over years, and if I can just get the smoking to baking ratio down to an exact science, my recipe will be perfect. So, uh, I'm pissed that I haven't quite perfected my smoke/bake technique yet.

  9. x3 I don't mind the christmas music. Well most of it anyway. Except for when that's all you hear every day for 8-10hrs for 2 months straight and you're ready to strangle the next person who utters 'jingle bells'

     

    Yeah, that's what I meant. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't blasted into your skull constantly till you bleed from your eyes. Other than that, I love christmas. Not as much for the presents, but because I get to make a turkey every year, and it's like my favorite thing to make. My recipe is such a long and complicated process, and it turns out fucking amazing, I love it.

  10. Christmas stuff going up in stores like the world is going to end, the day after Halloween. Frickin' Thanksgiving didn't even get a chance. Commercialism is just... *sigh*

     

    I don't even mind the commercialism, but the music...the fucking christmas music, everywhere you go, it's brutal. I've only heard one good christmas song ever, but will you hear that one playing randomly in every store for 3 months straight? Of course not, that might make the whole thing mildly tolerable.

  11. Granted, so....well do I really need to describe all the adverse effects of booze? Just pick one, and either way, nothing will be accomplished.


     


    I wish I was funnier so people would like me.

    @ Op, I use anime avatars, does that make me a weeaboo? (The fuck does that even MEAN?! That ...word sounds all "Herpa Derp Derp.") I use pictures I like, really, and I like to watch alot of anime. I could care less if the fanbase had boobies growing out of their faces, I don't really pay attention to the fans, I just watch things, sometimes I laugh at em, Like I do with Evangelion, cause it takes itself so seriously, so I laugh at it.

     

    That means you do care. (At least a little.)

     

    Sorry.  Had to.  That was an epic Weird Al song.

     

     

    Weird Al? Oh, no, I think you meant Devildriver.

    It's an honest mistake, I get them confused all the time.
