I thought I read that the original Japanese text implied crossdressing rather than trans.99% of stuff in entertainment media that the West interprets as trans is originally crude cross-dressing humour in Japanese. Birdo was probably meant to be the same standard punchline but because Nintendo didn't push the joke hard enough (coupled with the English translations) it was more ambiguous and the idea that Birdo/Catherine is trans took hold. Poison from Street Fighter/Final Fight was also made trans because of English translation. Although I'm not sure why fighting trans people is less offensive than fighting strong women for people that are upset about that sort of thing, even in the 90s.
^from my observations its usually the older folks that are less respectful of people's time and more prone to make inappropriate comments. I think younger folks generally have better respect for other's personal space and time.Never seen an old person sit on a machine for 15 minutes texting like a dickhead while not working out. Just because you're not talking to people doesn't mean you're not being disrespectful and wasting people's time.
...i don't know what that means.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wc-M0jcToU
SchmediumMy two favourite sizes: medium and schmall.
Yeah but they suck compared to the ones you can get there.You can buy the actual mix they use. Its just less satisfying because you can't get instant refills with no effort but they do taste the same.
They're both wheat noodles my man. There are different flavors, yes. But saying ramyeon is all one thing is ignorant to korean noodles.Instant ramen and freshly made ramen are not really the same thing. I'm being kind of dramatic by saying I'm judgmental of people that prefer the junk version but to me its clearly vastly inferior.
That's kind of surprising, in the trailer it kind of seemed like they were pushing a "you're not a real american unless you believe in ????" narrative.A24 is somewhat infamous for having bad/inaccurate marketing apparently.
I tend to like their broth dishes - ramen, udon, soba, shabu shabu, etc. A lot of their meat dishes are sensational as well - karaage, yakiniku, wagyuu steak, and so on. Hell, I don't think I've ever had a bad meal in Japan, so long as it was served after noon.There's plenty of cooked food in Japanese cuisine but a defining element of quite a lot of it is either raw or unaltered (such as dried or fermented) ingredients. Trying to dunk on someone for pointing that out makes you look like a fool.
Tell me you've never eaten Japanese food without telling me you've never eaten Japanese food.
I think I tend to eat more Korean food than Japanese. Korean ramyeon is way better than Japanese ramen, and I think I like kimbap better than sushi.I really hope you're comparing ramyeon to instant ramen, in which case whatever. But I can't help being judgmental when people compare it to actual ramen. Ramyeon is fine but it basically just does one thing while actual ramen has so many varieties and flavours.
*30 year old weirdo, thank youI don't know why people try and characterize reddit this way. Its not 100% wrong if you're trying to go to some cesspool like r/gaming looking for a genuine sense of community but that's obviously the wrong way to use the site. Reddit is often very useful if you're looking for information about stuff and if you want a community then small subs function normally.
Also why would I post on Reddit? The whole point of the site is a weird game to get as many upvotes as you can, there's no point in remembering the names of anyone, they might as well not even be real people, and the site itself breaks if you have a conversation for more than 10 replies. If you're having a normal conversation with someone, you don't just get downvotes and then silence for saying something stupid/controversial. It feels bad. Imagine talking to your friends, and out of nowhere you say something, they all just stare at you silently, give you a. No, they reply to you like a normal interaction.
But now this place has become North Korea, so idk. Oops, a political post...
This site can't even crack 1100 users at any given time.That's what makes this funny. Like who the hell is even on this site that's getting scared away from posting by the hot political takes of a bunch of 40 year-old weirdos that haven't just migrated to reddit or whatever?
Frankly I think GameFAQs just needs to close the boards at this point.
Oh, there are absolutely concerns about Tiktok being controlled by China. There are just similar concerns about any social media being owned by any government, such that "it'd be okay if America had control of Tiktok" is pretty blatantly just a power grab hidden behind a thin veneer of nationalism and xenophobia.If you want to give your information to China or Russia you're free to sign up for a Vkontakte or WeChat account because US and Chinese censorship are not the same. It is an absurd mental contortion to equivocate the US rejecting direct CCP control of a major social media platform (which, again, would be totally free to exist in the US if it were controlled by almost literally anyone else) and China's all-encompassing firewalling of every single foreign media app that catches their attention.
I like the "any service that collects data on users around the globe should be owned by Americans" without a hint of self-awareness.I'm really curious what kind of warped ignorant version of the world one has to have to genuinely not at least conceptually understand that its a bad idea to have the most popular social media thing in your society be run directly by an actively hostile foreign government. China is the most famous high profile example of thinking exactly this! They sure as shit do not allow any wholly foreign controlled social media in their country.
Mulan because it was created purely to pander to China and China hated it.China never legally got to see it. They filmed in Xinjiang (probably to earn points/film subsidies from the CCP) but then that bit them in the ass when the international community noticed and got pissed. Then it became too much of a PR burden and China said they couldn't release it. Then covid killed it anyway.
byterance is trying to throw everything at the wall hoping that something can prevent this from happeningEverything except just letting anyone other than the Chinese government own them, which would solve the whole thing instantly and move like a hundred billion dollars into the bank accounts of whomever was in charge of the sale. But the CCP won't let that happen because they think owning TikTok is worth more than whatever the monetary value is.
but he ain't got that hunger any moreIf Tyson was still the same person as he used to be he would 100% be in jail for murder by now if he wasn't dead. He was a psychotic rapist that bit a guy's ear off in an athletic contest. Even current Mike Tyson hates past Mike Tyson.
It left gamepass yesterday.Lol GamePass fucking sucks.
ah, that's too bad. that kills what little interest i had lolIts on GamePass and regularly goes on pretty deep discount in Steam sales these days. Normally I consider "Its on GamePass" to be pretty damning for how much of a waste of time a game must be to bother with but pretty much any SMT content is at least worth checking out.
