Japanese curry has always felt like "weeb bait" to me. It's not bad, but for how evangelized it is in anime/games one would think that there would be more emphasis on regional identity (such as how mayo is a thing on sushi in northern Japan) like there is for basically every other thing in Japan.There are regional differences. Western Japan (from Osaka westward) usually has beef as their base meat, and Eastern Japan usually has pork as their base meat. There's also the variation curry udon, which started in Tokyo and has spread throughout the country. In Hokkaido a version called "soup curry" with a thinner, broth-like curry base and large chunks of vegetables and meat is popular. Places like Yokohama that are famous for having good curry sell it precooked in pouches as souvenirs. You can also find variations in any area that use local specialty ingredients. Calling it "weeb bait" or whatever is silly. If it seems like it's being "evangelized" that's just because it's super popular. Japanese people love curry, along with ramen it's a staple food that pretty much everyone likes and never gets tired of, like pizza or burgers in the US. --- "It's Choicin' time."

| Topic | Microwaving (frozen) vegetables is a thing?How healthy is that and any downsides |
| action52 04/07/24 3:01:43 AM #4 | any downsides Compared to boiling or steaming them, the downside is that it's harder to cook evenly. Also some vegetables might become tough if you microwave them--it's a good idea to look up "how to microwave ____" before microwaving a particular vegetable. The upsides are that it's probably faster and it uses smaller, easier to clean dishes. Also compared to boiling them, it's healthier because you lose fewer nutrients. I also remember reading people microwave potatoes.It seemed weird to me too but it actually works really well. It's not much different from baking in the oven. Just make sure you poke a bunch of holes in the outside with a fork, otherwise it might explode. --- "It's Choicin' time." Sophie, Sophie's Choice |

Lmao yeah wtf. Regular mustard and mayo maybe but honey no100% agree. And I think honey mustard and mayo can go together, especially on a sandwich, but you have to add them separately. Like honey mustard on one slice, mayo on the other, and your protein/veggies in the middle, so you can get full flavor. Mixing them just makes it bland. --- "It's Choicin' time."

I think if you flat out refuse needles, that's childish. But if someone who has a hard time with needles is honestly doing their best to fight through it, you shouldn't mock them for it. --- "It's Choicin' time." Sophie, Sophie's Choice |

Picture this Today's illustrates another pattern, one where the spangram is easy to find. You know the spangram has to be a big word going from one side to the other. And the title is a hint. So if you can predict the spangram as you're searching it's fairly easy to find. Then once you've got that, you have everything separated into two sections and you know what kind of words to look for, making it easy most of the time. --- "It's Choicin' time."

Having English as a fourth language is kind of apparent when I try these games. Thought I knew more about it. Pretty humbling.The thing is it's not just language, it's culture. If you didn't go through your childhood and teen years in an English language speaking culture you have a big disadvantage.

| Topic | If someone calls you a "simp" do you take it as an insult? |
| action52 04/05/24 3:42:16 AM #13 | Eh, when I see it simp is usually used jokingly these days. If someone called me a simp it would probably be because I was being a huge fan and geeking out about a character, game, etc. that I was crazy about so my response would be to laugh and say "yep."
It used to be more of an insult. I saw people using it for people who went on OF or whatever, fell in love with some random cam girl, convinced themselves that she returned the feeling, and emptied out their savings for her. Like 5 years ago that's how I usually saw the word used, but not so much anymore. So while the word is an insult, in 2024 it's usually not meant that way. --- "It's Choicin' time."
