For the (normalfag and normalfag-adjacent) resident relationship experts, why is it a bad thing to wish for a virgin gf?
And, on the other side, why do I want one in the first place?

There is a disappointing lack of Touhou × Star Trek fiction. Probably very small overlap of the two fandoms due to various cultural factors: Touhou is "past-inspired", Star Trek being not very popular in Japan, Touhou's normal state of affairs is about fantasy and Trek's is about the real world...
Kind of a shame because Touhou sci-fi really does work. Well, back to reading ALISON Airlines doujins I guess.
I also think the type of person that would like Trek and a shmup with anime girls is very different.
If it existed at the time, an anime/touhou planet episode is very TOS shlock.
I could never get into Touhou, I very much like the doujin/creative commons/whatever you know what I mean nature of the series and I experienced a lot of it through osmosis in the late 2000s/early 2010s so it fills me with wistful nostalgia seeing it but I get filtered by ZUNart and a lot of the stories of the games are surprisingly edgy considering said art.
Eirin x Lwaxana doujins when?
I haven't really played the games much, I was first drawn to Touhou by those classic IOSYS flash videos. I loved the music, I guess that was partly my first introduction to denpa maybe. I used to lurk Pooshlmer in the late 00s a bit, and I managed to get a couple of the PC98 games running on my mac, but I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of the series or anything. I think ZUN is a legend though for doing it all himself drunk, one of those passionate, visionary creative types I respect most
I like the games but I'm bad at them and I've only ever beaten PCB and IN on normal with continues. To me the games are like a work of art that's best appreciated while drunk and playing on lunatic so you can go "woah, pretty patterns" and then instantly die, but where Touhou really shines imo is the worldbuilding and how open to interpretation almost everything is.
I should really get to writing that fan-fic. It might be a bit unusual to have a main character who is able to hurt people through rap, some Parappa the rapper the type shit, but given the multiverse that it takes place in that's not quite as unusual.
>>10
it skirts a bit close to pedo shit, i would examine why people perceive you as a deviant instead.
Jokes aside, I think it's actually a combination of two things: Wanting a partner with about the same level of experience/social skills, and wanting to take a virginity (to prove to myself that it's not just """"chads"""" that are allowed to do it).
Probably not healthy, but what do I know. At least I don't actually talk about it IRL!
It's wise to not talk about shit like that IRL, though I do think that there are way more than just men on the internet that want a virgin partner, or at least a partner with less or comparable sexual and romantic experience. Not that it's a healthy thing to seek, but it's more normal than you'd think. At least you're honest about it though.

Was that the one where she was on her period and rode me to a screaming orgasm, then hopped up and squarted blood and cum and endometrium on my chest, then slid back and forward on it? Zomg so hot. I lose my breath any time I think of her, and I think about her all the time, that's why my skin is so blue
>>60
oh fuck, it's the sex haver.
what's your sage advice for becoming like you?
even with some exclusive deviant delights on there, Twitter is probably not worth the brain damage from the high proportion, even by Internet norms, of people on there who think maliciously reinterpreting someone else is clever and funny ('dunking'), possibly behind their backs ('subtweeting') and needs to be done with as much redundancy as possible ('ratio').
it is no wonder that communication is widely regarded as toxic platform-wide ('notifications blew up'); these are indisputably less healthy than porn ('don't @ me')
twitter had a heyday of like 2 years during the late obama/early trump days back before it became a place for undersocialized mentally ill dorks to talk to themselves and have other undersocialized mentally ill dorks occasionally chime in with their weird opinions
>>35 how is wanting someone who hasn't had miles of cock inside them and completely destroyed their ability to pair bond "not a healthy thing to seek"
>>61 The only advice I can give is if a girl wants to have sex with you, just let her. Another tip, I can't speak for all girls, but all the hot babes I know really dig capital letters at the start of sentences.
I started this sentence with a capital “I” and I can smell her pussy dripping from here (the girl reading this post)

ive never sold anything on ebay because im afraid of interacting with randos

I feel like advertising works backwards for me. The more I see a thing advertised, the more inclined I am to dislike it.

lol, reminds me of the stupid "omg how can you hate children, you were a child once!!" bitch, that is not how logic works, just because you were or are or will be something doesn't prevent you from hating that thing. And I hated myself and other children just as much back then too.

me, i think it's really cool how if you live in america you have to do days worth of individual research and end up like the dude from the always sunny screenshot w/ the hundreds of different pieces of thread tacked to a bulletin board just to find a brand of oats that hasnt been sprayed directly with carcinogenic pesticides
remember this next time some politician is saying some populistic shit and pretending to give a shit about the common man, they literally do not care if you and your children end up eating literal poison every day if it means their wealthy benefactors can make a few more dollars. other countries have banned pre-harvest glyphosphate desiccation because they actually care about their citizenry, it's just too bad that the USA isn't a country but the world's largest open air cattle farm, and u are the cattle
>>100
as someone who has lived in the us and 2 other places, putting sugar in the bread is worse than using pesticides, just because some farmers cant dose for shit
I bet you freak out about fluoride in the water too
>>104 what a total non sequitur
stop eating bread btw, problem solved. are you a cow? no? then stop eating grass.
it's ya boi the ratkilla
but yeah fluoridation of water is another thing the US cattle farmers do to keep their cattle in line that isn't done in countries where the common citizen is viewed as a human and not livestock, fluoride is a literal neurotoxin

These are about contaminated groundwater, actual dosed water is fine.

>>112 this is a 20 year old study from the same people who spent the past 60 years telling you that sugar was fine but eating butter once will make your heart explode. it also makes no recommendations for or against dosing water with fluoride.
if it's such a public health concern though, why is public drinking water not dosed with other water-soluble nutrients that much of the population at large is deficient in? why don't they put methylcobalamin and magnesium chloride in the water?
>The mechanisms by which fluoride affects cell functions include the generation of superoxide anions (Garcia-Montalvo et al. 2009; Izquierdo-Vega et al. 2008); mitochondrial toxicity,[...] and the modified release of the neurotransmitters acetylcholine (Flora et al. 2009) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (Gardiner and de Belleroche 1990).
weird how environmental toxicity always seems to come back to these three things! but i guess the science is settled and we should totally trust the UN and the WHO!
preempting even more attempted ideological pigeonholing: i don't think there's some global systemic lizardman conspiracy to make you drink the fluoride and eat the bugs(but it's fun to pretend sometimes), i DO think the 80 year old geriatric fucks that are in charge of everything are making policy based on outdated science and shareholder profits rather than basing it on what's in the best interest & health of the common person affected by those policies. never assume malice when stupidity is an equally efficacious explanation.
also im gay & not white, just to preempt that as well

I never got the hype of New Vegas (and 3D fallout in general), it always felt like you were map painting the region to a level that was unrealistic for most individuals who werent nearly deity-like. The hardcore mode also didnt feel survival-y enough, just more meters you have to micromanage.
I do like the world and some of the writing though (The hearts of iron mod feels like what Fallout tactics should have been.), I also think being able to viably do unarmed runs is really cool too.
imagine living in korea, surrounded by the best kimchi in the world.
you live with your korean grandma who lives in the same house and makes you eat her kimchi though.

New Vegas wasn't bad. The gameplay mostly sucked, but the plot, writing, and environments were pretty good, and I liked how they handled skills. That said, I'm not really a fan of post-apocalyptic settings.
>>153
well i just checked the world's most accurate encyclopedia and:
"... and published by Bethesda Softworks."
and the proof's in the pudding, because new vegas was pretty much indistinguishable from fallout 3 (which in turn was basically oblivion with a skin) in every respect, including the plot and characters and writing. i hadn't bothered to check into the details of the development because as i said, the proof's in the pudding, but i'm guessing bethesda brings a pretty financialized development environment to any game they publish, even if they outsource the development to a different company, and even if that company employs some fallout 2 devs (apart from my heuristic speculation about anything bethesda touches turning to shit, there's ample indication that tihs happened in the development section on the wiki article too). it's the financialization that's the problem, same reason all of EA's games suck.
in fact i'll even say oblivion was the best game out of those three, not that i have any love for it
sorry, i know i'm being autistic, i just really hated it, lol
How the fuck do they do that?
Fallout 3, New Vegas and Oblivion are all good but only if you use one of those modding guides that add like a billion mods and takes like 3 days to do

But whatever it's besides the point
Why do her knees smell like Raid
>>161 i'm well aware publishing is not the same hting as developing but if you think they're totally disjoint you're fooling yourself. i'll go quote more from the world's most accurate encyclopedia
>Bethesda commissioned a sequel.
so, again, they outsourced the development. it's not like obsidian pitched the game to bethesda and bethesda just handled distribution
>Bethesda rejected Obsidian's idea to set the game between the events of Fallout 2 and Fallout 3, but they did approve of setting the game in Las Vegas.[19][20]
so bethesda actually had substantial creative input
>Obsidian were unfamiliar with the Gamebryo engine
(because it's garbage and it's impossible to make a good game in it)
>The game had a somewhat short development cycle of 18 months.
you really think bethesda didn't have something to do with this? i bet it was in the contract. this kind of dev cycle is exactly the kind of thing i mean about financialization. they spent 18 months shitting out mediocre dungeons, making a crude overworld map of LV, and trying to patch up the engine into something usable. the only actually interesting characters/quest i can remember was the elvis impersonators. everything else was just content farm schlock
but you're right, it's beside the point, because anybody who has played both fallout 3 and new vegas can tell you they're almost exactly the same game
>>159
i disagree, these mods improve things but there's still basically no way to make an action game good when it randomly lags because the engine is shit. and there's no way to make believable / relatable characters when the faces are right in the middle of the uncanny valley. it was a fool's errand from the start
to me it's honestly the weirdest thing that other ppl dont hate it as much as i do

>to me it's honestly the weirdest thing that other ppl dont hate it as much as i do
there is a contigent that hates it, but for the most part because they like fallout 4 and are embittered by the difference in reception or they interpret liking it as a partisan political statement because modern internet

new vegas is remembered fondly mainly for being the best 3d fallout game which is frankly, not a very high bar to clear at all
all the mechanical/gameplay problems of 3 are still there but it at least had some interesting characters. the design docs for van buren project looked fucking awesome and im still mad to this day that we'll never get to play THAT version.
navigating the overworld and fighting enemies were generally more of a tedious chore than a fun challenge. where it really shined was the branching dialogues, deep (for a 3d CRPG) characters and the overall plot and worldbuilding. the character building and branching plot also made it possible to self-insert basically any backstory and personality into the PC that you wanted. want to be a gay antifascist wandering the mojave murdering racist white male slave traders with your doctor boyfriend? u can do that. want to be a cowboy drifter blowing from town to town like a tumbleweed, staying just long enough to kick the dust off your spurs and solve all the towns problems? u can do that too. i don't think ive ever felt "this game would have been much better as a visual novel" about very many games but new vegas was one of them.
>>171
I dunno about a VN, but definitely would've been better in the OG fallout style.
I agree about the self insert thing, the courier also has way too much influence. The only realistic thing is the Kings stuff and that's because you're in the ear of an already powerful person.
Most stuff the Courier does would have them be a nearly religious figure in whatever faction they help.

Like last night, when I was dreaming about (re)visiting something similar to min.us, but for hosting a variety of minecraft content (maps, mods etc; it very notably had a white and lime color scheme). There probably were (or still are) several sites that could fit the bill, but most likely it's just an amalgamation of various websites and internet experiences... or I could actually have forgotten that such a site existed, and this thought scares me a little bit; what else that used to be a big part of my life could I have forgotten?

I met a couple people who said they were experiencing it back when it was the hot new mental disorder that all the cool kids had. I have a couple of thoughts, but they mostly boil down to those people putting way, way too much emphasis on signals from the rest of society. It's as if throughout their entire life they'd been taking their As and trophies and stuff seriously and expecting their life would be like a TV show. Now finally they were expected to provide results, everyone was too busy to hold their hand, but there's nothing external to blame it on because, after all, they were never denied anything. Some of them were bad, some of them were just bad at knowing whether they were bad or not.
It would have been amusing to watch them try to contort "I wasn't rejected, everyone is friendly and helpful, and I'm treated as if I'm competent" into racism/sexism/*-ism by way of mental illness if it weren't so depressing.
>>210
It's not a disorder, this is like writing a post about Trump Derangement Syndrome, it's just an expression about a feeling of inadequacy. (I also think you're confusing this with the "gifted kid burnout" fad that was talked about a few years ago). Anyway a more charitable explanation is that it's a response to social pressures that the person didn't experience before, like, say, a programmer who was self taught for a decade suddenly feeling out of place taking college level courses in a building where they are graded and amongst peers.
Until I looked it up, I thought you were talking about the disorder that made people think their loved ones were replaced with imposters. How weird would that be if it became common
leekspin
>>212
Did you read it? (I read it just before posting to make sure I wasn't talking out of my ass). It's not a diagnosable disorder, there's no DSM listing, it's just a description of a certain mentality that people have. The claim wasn't that people have thought and wrote about the phenomenon, if they hadn't the term wouldn't exist, the claim was that it was a mental disorder.

i think impostor syndrome is just the feeling that a dumb or incompetent but highly educated person has knows on some level that they're dumb or incompetent
as usual, women and men are incompetent at about the same rate, but disproportionately more women experience imposter syndrome because they're more self-aware than men are, generally.

If used for information and retrieving media, its incredible and beyond the wildest dreams of most of human history. Its both an incredible and terrible time to be alive.
There seems to be a growing distaste for social media anyway (both because of the content and the dystopian practices the companies running them partake in) and I hope it is just the growing pains of new technology getting integrated like the issues television caused when it first became widespread.

Most Japanese pseudo-old-timey speak goes back 〜900 years at most (though usually 〜500 years). wi was lost earlier than that.
Unlike Western classicism, there isn't a movement in Asia to go "back" to old reconstructed pronunciations (disregarding how these are much less certain). Like, the best guesses at Old/Middle Chinese sound entirely alien just about anywhere, yet it's one of the most influential literary languages.

i remember in highschool spanish class, asking my teacher why if "estar" usually refers to impermanent states, then why do we say "esta muerte"? and due to this being a secular public school she couldn't think of the obvious answer and just kind of went "idk lol"
latinate languages (except for fr*nch, the language of godless heathens) have the idea of the impermanence of death and eternal life in the kingdom of heaven cooked right into them! very cool.

as far as i can tell television still causes all of those same issues though (parasocial engagement, media addiction, biased and sensationalized news). in the cases where it doesn't it's because it's been supplanted by other more addictive things that cause the same problems even worse (online news is even more sensationalized, videogames and social media are even more addicting, social media is even more parasocial)
The one thing I dont understand about social media are "superchats". Are you THAT attention starved that you pay to make a comment to a streamer?

> "estar" usually refers to impermanent states
This is an obnoxious way to think about the difference between "ser" and "estar" tbh. But I guess it's simpler than figuring out "ser" has an ontological dimension to it, like you're describing being itself, or something inherent to being, which I believe is a more accurate distinction.
lol, states. English has its own treatment of states that's totally normal for us but would be hard to explain to a foreigner. The difference between "I knew" (correct) and "I was knowing" (incorrect) is hard to explain when "I walked" and "I was walking" are both correct.

>something inherent to being
in other words, a permanent state, an immutable characteristic of the person or thing in question, without which they would be something else entirely. it makes better sense when you frame it like this but that might be too complex for 9th graders.
sou humano - i am human, it is inherent to my existence, i will never not be a human, if i were some other animal it would change my inherent nature
estou morto - i am dead, but this is not an inherent characteristic of my existence, i used to be alive (and one day you'll join me)

i want to eat less meat again so i'm learning some indian cooking. using no-refrigeration low-tech foods like legumes and ghee is also appealing, but i'm fixated on pre-modern life in general so that might just be me.
after looking through a lot of crap recipes (and the other extreme, innovative recipes that implicitly assume knowledge of the basics of south asian cooking) i finally found a book i would recommend which is 660 curries by raghavan iyer. (the title is a lie; it is a general purpose indian cookbook including chutneys, sambars, etc and explicitly mentions which recipes are from which part of india)
does anyone here know other good south asian cookbooks?
>>323
A lot of 2D purists HATE vtubers! they are intensely controversial on imageboards where they are common.
>>328
The YouTube channel CookingInRussia (now rebranded as CookingInFinland) has a good video on making a red masala for different curry applications. He also has a few other vegetarian and pescatarian curry recipes. Those only make up a small part of his video library, but the depth he goes is what sets his channel apart from most other ones. There's a good amount of non-South Asian vegetarian recipes as well. He also has a book on vegetarian dishes, but if you don't really enjoy cooking I'd avoid it because it's very involved. Most recipes in it have 2 or more layers of component preparation before you can even start the actual dish.

The thing about nu metal, neue deutsche harte, industrial metal and other 90s metal genres not deemed 'elite' by metal aficionados is that they're less metal and more synthpop and new wave, just with hard guitar riffs taking the place of hard synth stabs. Genuinely good synthpop and new wave at that. Catchy melodies, groovy grooves and interesting sounds permeate the songs of all the big bands in these genres. Had these genres been actual synthpop and new wave one could even excuse their corny lyrics.
I have always wanted to get into metal, but it genuinely made my head hurt whenever I try to listen to most things
>>342 What does it mean to you to "get into" metal, more than just enjoying metal songs?

I think its just more likely that less people have the full set because they stopped buying after a certain volume or so. Its the same with multi volume VHS tapes, the earliest ones are cheap and the later volumes are harder to find. Volumes aren't actually a good format to release media through because only a minority will collect all the way through the complete set. People who come around when the later volumes are coming out who don't own any of the previous ones won't buy it, and people who bought like 4 volumes of some series probably missed or passed by the opportunity to finish the set. But it is a cool format to collect though.

I miss liking Pokémon. Which was first generation era.
I gave some of the newer ones a try over the years, and they're better games in many respects, but I tired of them astonishingly quickly.
I don't know if that's a Pokémon thing or an RPG in general thing or a depression thing, though.
>>457
Most people who aren't hardcore fans feel this way. Pokemon is a strange mix of easy simple casual RPG and a grind RPG, so unless you love the series and the world most people play through it once or twice and put it down.
I literally cannot stop failing.
Despite all that, I don't consider myself a Pokémon Master, I'm not into labels

i think pokemon is partly just terribly paced as an RPG. once your party gets its average level past 35 or so, it rapidly starts to feel like there is no point to continuing. your pokeymans aren't going to evolve anymore or learn any more interesting moves, so there's no point in training the ones you have (except to move the "plot" along, inasmuch as there is one, and continue to play coupon collector)
similarly, wild ones mostly aren't worth catching at that point because you'll then have to grind them for 20+ levels before they're useful, at which point there is again nothing interesting to do with them
the reason pokemon blue and red worked was because the elite 4 was beatable with level 40-45s or so and not a ridiculous number of items. so you have to grind a bit to finish the game but not too bad, and the goal feels just-out-of-reach for most of that grinding, so it's motivating. but the new games, they just basically repeat the red/blue formula and then tack on a bunch of levels AFTER that, to where you're hauling around a party of level 70s and trying to beat the new elite 4 in region #2, or chase down the latest iteration of suicune or something (and legendary pokeymans are the least cute / interesting pokeymans, give me a new eevee evolution or a fire-breathing ratata or something instead of that)
basing this on blue, silver/crystal, firered (which i have played personally) and what i have seen of my friends playing sapphire i think it was
i played firered about two years ago and after playing it and i sat down and thought about it and i think the best part of the game is when you're in the forest before the rock gym trying to catch pikachu. levels and new moves are coming quick on all your pokeymans (you can have a butterfree pretty soon if you want, that opens psychic type moves!), and you know having a pikachu isn't going to pay off right away because of the rock gym, but it's exciting because you obviously want to catch pikachu and you know it'll be fun to use it on misty. the play quality is a bit less after that but remains interesting through the team rocket / sylph city arc, then it starts to drop off pretty quickly, levels are further apart, you already have most of the moves you need and the new moves (e.g. psychic) are basically the same as the old moves (confusion) that you already have, just more powerful

but anyway: gives new meaning to the term "flyover states"

I genuinely don't think kids today will grow up in the same media environment that made pokemon a thing 20 years ago. The novelty of trading games between physical cartridges is no longer novel, every game has wifi support nowadays, and kids have more impressive interactive games than pokemon. It also was a product of the 90s when trading cards were still a thing, and nowadays nobody really cares about that stuff.
Plus it's just way too hard to catch them all if you're 20 years late to the game.

And it's only illegal for civilians; I'm sure they've been doing it with military planes at the NTTR this whole time.
That NASA plane in the article is probably just a military plane if i had to guess so that part isn't so different, and the startups might run out of "runway" before they have a prototype, but the key difference I see is that there's nothing in area 51, whereas in wichita there are definitely people. So i think they wanna scrap that rule, yeah.
Will they, i dunno. I'm pretty sure the illuminati have been butthurt and wanting to do overland sonic booms for a long time (hence the Oklahomo City tests mentioned previously https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_sonic_boom_tests ). I do kinda think it might just be that these planes are too impractical to work.

Reading about North Korea is so bizarre these days. A lot of information is conflicting about it to the point where I wonder if journalists just make up shit about the country.
A lot of articles are highly critical, but there's also a lot of implication that he is doing a better job than his father, which is true considering that he has been openly demanding towards his own administration and his subordinates. A lot of people point towards the "cultural revolution" and tourism in the DPRK towards a larger philosophical change but knowing communists many of these things are probably just photo-ops for journalists, especially since many of the publications cited are Chinese.
Regardless, if these articles are true, North Korea sounds more like a closed Bhutan than the military state it used to be reported as.
I don't know, the truth about a closed country is probably somewhere in the middle, like most things.
Also, I find the daily life of North Koreans more interesting than the communist philosophy or government affairs that a lot of journalists and documentary programs focus on

I can hear it, I just don't care at this stage anymore. Once the point of having to sit down and listen very carefully A/B test several times to notice differences is passed, I don't see a point in fretting when that's not the natural way to listen to music. It's hard to discern any differences outside of an A/B testing environment unless you make a significant jump in price range past the 4 figures per component level. Just pick something that highlights your preferred characteristics and be happy or wait till you have a whole lot more money. Agonizing over inconsequential details is the part of "audiophilia" that I don't get.

cooking is frustrating because, like sleep, it's something i will do a lot in my life, nearly every day, so it's worth getting things set up right to do it well. i have a nice mattress and a vitamix.
the frustrating part is that, unlike sleep, there are millions of skilled cooking professionals who do it even more often than i will ever, and consequently i will never be "good" at it. quilting? do it for an hour or two every day, including some reading about techniques, and you'll get good at it, guaranteed. math, or writing? same thing. but not cooking.

You only need a few years of cooking as a serious hobby to make better food than the majority of restaurants out there. In fact the majority of restaurants aren't really very good. You'll notice the compromises, flaws, and inadequacies as you cook more and more. While you won't have the same volume of practice and as sharp a skill set as professionals, there are a lot of advantages you'll have when cooking too. The amount of thought and care you can put into a dish can reasonably exceed anything done outside of the top few tiers of restaurants. You have more versatility in what you do. You have no expectations to worry about meeting, no limits on the type/theme of food you're making, no worries about the business aspects of developing/making a dish, etc.
As long as you're making things that challenge you instead of just picking something from Allrecipes or the Food Network or something, you're going to notice really quick progress. Library book sales always seem to have a culinary arts textbook for a dollar. You'll learn a lot from those even if they do tend to be Eurocentric. Cookbooks from famous well-regarded restaurants are also a pretty good resource. You'll see a lot of interesting things that you otherwise wouldn't see. The French Laundry Cookbook is really easy to find for dirt cheap and it's a cookbook that's actually very accessible once you know your way around the basics. The Fat Duck cookbook is on the opposite side of the spectrum. You'll likely never make a single dish out of it, but reading through it can give a lot of ideas and a different view of ingredients and components. The Noma Guide to Fermentation is a good read if you're at all interested in fermentation (and Koji Alchemy if you want to delve a bit deeper into using koji). Though you'd probably want to go with something Art of Fermentation by Katz as a primer, but it's really not necessary. All these books and a lot more are on libgen. The more you make different dishes the more you'll notice patterns that. The more you make dishes that challenge you or do something that you're unfamiliar with the more you'll pick up new tools. The more you pick up the better you can improvise on your own. Every once in a while I look back at something I made and think how only a year previous I wouldn't have imagined doing something like that.
tl:dr: You can pretty much disregard all that since it isn't a competition anyway. No reason to worry about how you stack up to other people as long as you're getting a sense of satisfaction from your progress and whatever you produce. I'll never be an elite cook, and I'm ok with that. Or even a moderately competent musician, but I still like to play my instrument a few hours a week.

I have an old 1975 edition I bought at a book sale many years ago. Not sure what the latest edition is like, so I don't really know how a new edition compares to the one I know. Since mine is the 1975 edition, there's some "outdated" stuff for today's audience since tastes and how we view food has changed drastically. There are lot of recipes for molded salads for an obvious example. But if the newer ones are similar to the one I have, it's full of tons and tons of solid info on a lot of different topics even if the recipes are a bit basic. I haven't opened it in years, so I flipped through to refresh my memory and there's actually a lot more in here than I remembered. I opened to a random page and it tells you how to skin and clean a squirrel. Another tells you how to make maple syrup from scratch by tapping a tree. I'm sure if I sit down and read through it all I'll learn some stuff I didn't know before.

I already do, but the thought that I've devoting thousands of hours of my life to this (and will devote thousands more) and there will always be someone better than me in the same small town in bumfuck nowhere is somehow quite surprising. Like yeah, the head chef at the local restaurant isn't cooking all (or any of) the meals himself, and the food that restaurant puts out is often tainted by shoddy work (due in part to high staff turnover because of rampant labor exploitation in the industry) doesn't mean he isn't a better cook than i'll ever be. probably extends to the line cooks. I'm pretty sure most of them are miles ahead of me if you put them on a home cooking schedule (as opposed to a restaurant where everything is permanently needed 20 minutes ago) and give them enough time to learn the recipes (which they will if they work at an establishment for long, but that thing about turnover).
Like, maybe i came off and somewhat dismayed or something, and maybe i am a little bit, but cooking is still clearly a really really good hobby (healthy, promotes social cohesion, makes people around you happy) and worth doing.
>>665
as for books with techniques...
for entry level i'd recommend "food lab" by lopez-alt.
once you know the basics i recommend the textbooks published by the culinary institute of america (libgen).

I'd think that if your practice is producing high volumes of shoddy food, you're not going to be gaining much outside of sharpening the mechanical skills involved. Most restaurants have rigid, static menus that change once every few months if that, so the average line cook is making the same set of dishes without getting much experience outside that. This isn't even considering the restaurants that are little more than reheating and mixing stations for premade foods ordered from corporate or Sysco/US Foods (a lot of chain and family restaurants in the US are like this. I'm not sure how prevalent this practice is in other countries). That's what I was trying to highlight with the advantages of someone coming at home. This is anecdotal, but most people I know in the food industry aren't really that passionate about it. A lot view it the same way a spreadsheet jockey views their job. Since a lot of people here are into programming I think it would be familiar to look at it like the distinction between the passionate amateur and the guy who just does it as a 9-5.
>i don't think most 'famous restaurant' books have much relevance to the home chef
I strongly disagree with this. There isn't really anything in French Laundry that isn't easily accessible to someone who enjoys cooking. The only real barrier is the heavy use of a lot of seasonal or regional ingredients which prohibits when you can make something and whether you'll need to find an appropriate local substitution. There isn't anything in terms of technique or equipment that's unavailable to anyone cooking at home. In fact I've personally made more use of French Laundry, Momofuku, Baco, and Angie Mar's cookbooks individually than for example Food Lab since you mentioned that. And I think that's a pretty good book. I'd even say some of the stuff in CIA's Charcuterie book is comparable to French Laundry in terms of complexity.

I'm kind of surprised Buddhism hasn't gotten more popular in the west, considering Siddhārtha Buddha's story sounds like what a lot of people (especially those from wealthy countries or backgrounds) who
are going through depression and the dissatsification with modern life complain of.
I wonder if it never became widespread in the west is because it's too exotic in its supernatural element, because there's no middle-ground between lay life and asceticism or perhaps because a lot of its teachings are categorized or described with very complex and foreign-sounding words that a lot of westerners find it hard to get into teachings or are mystified by the Theravādas and your Mahāyānas.
I don't know, I thought it would be more popular by now considering most peoples beef with religion is the Abrahamic teachings not approving of homosexuality. (Which I'm aware is controversial itself in Dharmic religion, but the exotic and progressive marketing that a lot of temples do to attract westerners would omit this.)
Oh, and vegetarianism, but that has become a secular fad diet so I don't think it would hurt it too much anyway.
>>695 I think it's a stretch to say disapproval of homosexuality is what most people's beef with religion is, it's certainly one for some but I think there are lots of reasons why less people today have time for religion. I think that's also why it hasn't led to any other religion like Buddhism becoming more popular, people aren't looking to fill that gap with a different kind of spirituality

I think most people disapprove of homosexuality, not Christianity. And I think Buddhism didn't catch on outside of Asia because we simply just don't believe it. Buddhism came out as an offshoot of Hinduism which is an offshoot of Vedism at around 500 BC and it had its chance in Ancient Greece, and Greeks ended up influencing Buddhism rather than the other way around, and it died off never having a fraction of the popularity of that of the Bible (Septuagint, New Testament)

The West has already had Stoicism for millennia and it is easier to for Westerners to swallow because its concerns are mostly secular and thus it doesn't require you to adjust your existing beliefs on the supernatural by very much. Eastern religion was given a fair shake in the 60s/70s, but largely a lot of WASPs who felt a spiritual awakening in those days decided not to be lumped in with people who smelled of patchouli and weed and switched from mainline to evangelical denominations.
But despite none of the Stoic knowledge being suppressed (and being repeatedly cribbed--often poorly and in fragments--by self-help authors), it's now easier than ever to live in a bubble, and the bubbles we live in like nothing more than to obscure the harsh truths that we need to address to have agency and fulfillment in our lives. Particularly, our lives are highly influenced by crass consumerism, which has no incentive to teach you about erasing your worldly desires.
Also, the Stoic view on suicide is not very Big Tech Padded Cell-friendly, but it's more or less how I've managed to put it off for decades.

i guess you don't know me but i'm basically the poster child for occupational burnout here, it's not a huge leap of faith for me to assume that it happens all the time in an industry with rampant wage theft, no benefits, high turnovers, and no sick days. but i still think most of those people are better cooks than me.
some advantages pro cooks have that i will never:
the beef i have with famous restaurant books is, they're all implicitly a byproduct of the industrial process that is a restaurant kitchen. since i've never worked in a restaurant and never will, the fact that such and such recipe was adapted from an industrial process featuring e.g. a steam jacket kettle and how that would save time isn't necessarily obvious to me. it's more or less the same problem i have with cookbooks that feature "healthy" substitutions by default in all the recipes and don't mention it anywhere. i have to translate all that shit back myself.
for the restaurant books, i don't get the same economy of scale at home, my local supermarket ain't great, and there's nobody i can outsource procurement to. it goes beyond "but it's not ramp season, and i'm not in the northeast USA". the result (to me, after all the adaptations i have to make) is a 4-hour recipe (it'll take me 2 hours next time, but this is the first time) that leans very heavily on parm-regg, shallots, et cetera. my local supermarket doesn't even sell these things! like yeah i can make the trip to costco on occasion for the parm-reg but that shit takes all day and they don't sell shallots either. i have seen supermarkets in some cities that sell shallots for like $8/lb. chinese markets in those same cities that carry shallots have them for like $2/lb. i'm not paying $8/lb for a damn allium, so again it's an extra trip or i'm picking another recipe. like yeah i could just use onions but at that point why not just open up another book? in a restaurant the fresh shallots are delivered on a regular basis. they don't have to play this stupid game.
of course there's something i can learn from any cookbook (written by a competent cook), but i can learn it a lot faster from something less "world class", because i don't have to adapt it as much. examples of this type of book would be '660 curries' by iyer, 'food of taiwan' by erway, and 'home-style taiwanese cooking' by wan (it might be hard to find these kind of books for murikkkan food, but i happen to live with people from these countries and they appreciate my shenanigans). i can take those recipes and dress them up with my fancy techniques rather than working backwards.

fucking typos all over my post, i am sorry
-first bullet point should be 'how many ways have i juiced ...'
-second bullet, yeah i know the local sushi place isn't exactly using the choicest cuts, and ingredient prices are maybe 30% the menu prices, but in the aggregate it's still wayyyyy more money than i'm working with over here.
-third bullet, the point is that if you fuck up in a pro environment it's a big problem, so workers in that situation learn to produce consistent results. consistency is at least half of being a good cook.
and yeah, i'm not talking about the industrial food factory type of places with the sysco. 'fine dining' establishments that i'm too poor to visit, the workers there still live on streets like mine.
My main issue with the modern interpretation of Christianity is how the imagery has never really moved past High Renaissance art.

Ok I understand the discrepancy now. We have two different concepts of what it means to be "good at cooking." I was basing my interpretation mostly on the idea and quality of outcome while it seems you were leaning a bit more into the mechanics or the "cooking" itself.
Beyond that, geography looks like it's a huge source of disparity that I didn't really think about. I haven't lived anywhere in the past 15 years where shallots or various imported cheeses were a difficult or expensive find. For the last 8 years especially, all the places I've lived were at most within 20 miles of a dedicated cheese shop. And until today I never would have imagined shallots would be out of the ordinary in any part of the country since for as long as I can remember I've been getting them for pretty cheap. Though I don't quite understand your point about the restaurant books. I can't recall any recipes that haven't been adapted for home use. There may be a few sous vide recipes in some of them, or might require something uncommon in most home kitchens like a fine tamis or chinois, but I think that's as far as they go with anything you'd really consider specialized. They've all been very competently adapted in my experience. Or if I'm misinterpreting what you mean and you're saying an adapted for home version wouldn't be an authentic recreation since you're not using the types of equipment they would be using, I'd argue you're making a purer form. Their specialized equipment, e.g. steam jacketed kettle, is a workaround for not being able to do things a la minute like you would be doing at home. Sorry if I was a little vague, but I didn't mean to imply looking at places like El Bulli, Alinea, Fat Duck or other molecular gastronomy/deconstructivist/modernist type restaurants where a lot of the concepts hinge on things produced with very specialized or custom equipment. Though I do really like the Fat Duck Cookbook as a sort of culinary artbook.
Also something I tend to lose sight on is that cooking for me went beyond what an average person would see as a hobby and edging into full blown autism territory. Outside of the height of the summer heat, I usually spend a few hours most days cooking or otherwise engaged in food related activity and entire weekends with some frequency. Tomorrow night I'm going to make some Norcina sausage and some fresh pasta for dinner which I expect to take somewhere between 2-3 hours. But what else would I want to be doing with that time? I've gone as far as ordering ingredients internationally before for certain things I wanted to try. Recently I've been contacting local farms trying to get them to sell me their next year's pullet eggs (no luck yet) for a ravioli filling that won't work with adult chicken-sized yolks. Many of my other hobbies--gardening, foraging, hunting, fishing, and fermentation--were all branched out from my interest in cooking. I briefly flirted with going into the food industry in my last year of high school, finishing an occupation program offered by the school for culinary arts, before deciding against it when I found out how miserable most people in the industry were. The only person I know in the industry who is relatively happy is a guy who does part time work as personal chef. Now it's my belief that the fastest way to kill a passion is to turn it into a job.
What this all really means, though, is that you, >>707, should just stick with today's special.

"Biblical-accurate angels" is a rather stupid term, the bible features multiple different groups of angels, all with radically different appearances. Most angels that show up are described as looking human.
Besides, the creepier angels still get some representation in iconography.

Wow, television is shit compared to film. Youtube series, Minecraft survival collabs, late-night throwaway current event stuff are in the top-rated lists on IMDb. No matter what you think of their programs, HBO has no competition these days.

gin & juice is self-referential. a song about being at a party, meant to be played at parties. i wonder if it was intentional.

>>713
yeah i'll say it sounds like we have different goals and you spend more time on it for sure.
but back to my point about the restaurant books! you may have changed my view slightly.
first, as far as i can tell the steam-jacketed kettle is not a workaround, but actually saves time because you can throw liquid in there and not worry about it scorching. so you don't have to actively baby whatever's in there, you can go work on something else while it's warming up. perhaps i misunderstand how they work; i have never seen one IRL. but more importantly, obviously the recipes in the book are written in such a way not to require such specialized equipment, but i think still they formed an integral part of the refinement of the recipe in the restaurant setting, and therefore you're getting a recipe that looks very different from what might have evolved in a home-cooking environment. it might be adapted in the obvious ways (no kettle), but it's not optimized and i have to do that optimization myself (perhaps the recipe is written such that A is prepared before B, but preparing B before A is easier in the home kitchen because keeping A warm is easier than keeping B warm. so first i have to notice that, and then second switch it).
i opened up the french laundry, per se (because i know the meaning of the phrase 'per se', i assumed this was the only french laundry book. 'per se' is such a stupid name for a restaurant. anyway tell me if i dun fucked up and the other book is better or something) and i looked at a few recipes to see if i was being a total asshole. it wasn't completely terrible. i read the section on liaisons and yeah, the usual suspects like agar, gelatin, cornstarch, found out there's another term for roux, beurre something. unfortunately nothing interesting about tapioca. but, the ratios are very informative and i might consider adding something like that to my personal cookbook someday. an interesting fried eggplant; some salmon aspic thing that i have absolutely no interest in.
anyway, i found an interesting recipe about 2-1-1 little onion pickles. but it requires a chamber vacuum sealer. well, to be clear it says this is optional, but it is clearly the most interesting part of the recipe. vacuum-sealing the pickles makes them crisper. this is interesting, i'd like to try it, and i probably will try it someday, but it's gonna cost me $600 and i'll have to reorganize half my kitchen to fit a vacuum sealer in it. that's not too much money for me to consider, but unlike a stainless saucier, a vacuum sealer might break someday, so not at the top of the list either.
contrast: from the iyer book, lime pickles! and all you need is a glass jar, salt, spices, sun, and mustard oil. (canola a reasonable substitution if i'm scared of mustard oil). lime pickles??? that's pretty fascinating i'd like to try it. asked my buddy and he says yeah it's a pretty common thing in india. and i can do that one tomorrow if i want. life is unfortunately all about opportunity cost and i can try three recipes of this type in the time it takes to do one recipe from keller's. maybe when i move apartments and get a vacuum sealer set up it will be different, but until then. (i do have a sous-vide circulator from ebay, incidentally)
i keep forgetting words recently, "little onion" pickles. i think you know what i mean. the word for the wooden stick lime juicer is "reamer", god damn that was annoying to forget
>>730 i tend to think of the chronic as a pretty angry album in contrast with doggystyle which is all about partying, but you're kinda right, 'let me ride' is self-referential and that was on the chronic. a song about riding in your car to play while riding in your car. for contrast, 'nuthin but a g thang', not self-referential, just braggadocio. all great songs tho
>>729
The Simpsons isn't even that bad compared to how meta a lot of comedy is. Stuff like Sonic Boom which is well-liked is so self-referential and meta it is hard to buy into it as fiction when it tries to have an actual narrative, but perhaps the utmost goal of a pure comedy is to get a laugh and everything else is a far second.

I think with that sort of equipment, it's to do things like replace a staff member standing over a pot who could be doing something more productive. A workaround to paying for extra labor. Just automate the mindless tasks to get better use out of the staff. The way the French Laundry book has recipes laid out is the order the components can be made before you bring the full thing together. I recently did the scallops with asparagus puree and morels as a course for a dinner guest we had over and it was pretty easy to finish up after prepping the components earlier in the day. Though it was my second or third time making it, so there was a bit of memory and practice involved. Still the recipes have been very coherently presented where I haven't felt overwhelmed even on a first time.
Yeah I was actually talking about The French Laundry Cookbook, not The French Laundry, Per Se. I haven't looked through the Per Se book before. I never come across it used at thrift stores or library book sales for some reason (where French Laundry and Ad Hoc At Home tend to be somewhat common) and wasn't interested enough to download it off libgen, so I'm not sure what the contents really are and how they differ with The French Laundry Cookbook.
For the pickles I'd think you could use a regular suction type vacuum sealer with similar result. I picked one up years ago at an Aldi for $30 or $40 with a big roll of the bag, and it's been pretty good and lasted for a few years with no issue yet. And the footprint is very small. Mine is about 1.5 feet by 7 inches or so. I use it frequently for freezing large quantities of cubed and portioned beef/pork to use for grinding when there's a good deal on roasts. It's pretty good for sous vide too since you mentioned it, but I usually use jars (for weekly yogurt or some custard/dessert type things) or zipper bags. I only really use the vacuum sealer for sous vide if it's something in a flavorful liquid or something that tends to float. But back to the onion pickles. An alternate method you could try is with a whipping siphon and N2O cartridges. Here you'd be pressurizing it instead to similar effect. Just don't use CO2 carts unless you want to carbonate your onions. Though that might actually be pretty cool for some applications like a nice summer salad opposite to some fruits. Overall I find my whipping siphon pretty useful if you're thinking about getting one. Mostly I use it for carbonating doogh which is a drink made from diluted tart yogurt commonly seasoned with mint and salt. A lighter, carbonated version with some ice is really nice in the summer and early fall while a thicker, still version is nice in colder months.
Also I'm assuming you're were talking about beurre manie. If what you're referring to is an uncooked butter-flour clump you throw into a relatively large volume of liquid. There is also beurre monte which is heavily used in The French Laundry Cookbook. Not sure about the Per Se one. It's just butter that slowly melted with some water and constant agitation to prevent it from separating. Though it's not really a thickener, it's used a lot in the book to provide body to various things.
>>736
yeah beurre manie was probly it.
that's another beef (i will specify at this time that this pun in intended) i have. mise orders in most books seem to be the standardized on the principle you describe, in order that the ingredients are used. i prefer it the "major" ingredients appear first, and this takes priority over prep order for me. ingredient lists should be minimally detailed and ordered with un-substitutable ingredients first so that i can quickly check if i have that shit in my fridge or can get it all from the store i'm about to go to. for me this doesn't substantially affect prep time because if i can't mise the entire recipe out on my countertop at once, i'm not cooking it, period. it's just sad to me that there's seemingly no room for experimentation like this, because my refusal to cook anything larger than my countertop is probably common to a lot of home cooks.
i think i'm autistic but my autism is a neurotic all-consuming hatred for diminishing returns. i will only ever make a recipe to 95% of what's in a fancy cookbook, when the last 5% takes half the time and i can spend that time making some other recipe to 95% instead. an example from french laundry per se would be dissolving salt in the cold water for shocking vegetables after blanching. i truly believe that will make a difference in final flavor, but there's no way that's worth the time it takes to me. honestly you can shock blanched veggies in water straight out the tap, no ice (especially in winter), and it does 90% of the job of ice water.
anyway you might try kala namak with that yogurt drink u got there. i like it but i can imagine the taste might turn some ppl off. interesting to hear about the nitrous but i might not need an new excuse to keep that in my house LoL

I've had 2 big chunks of kala namak in my pantry for probably the better part of 5 years now. I still probably won't use it for this though. I don't think adding an eggy flavor will be very pleasant in the hot summer. I'll try it in the winter with the thicker version though.
>>741 I was just thinking earlier how funny it would be to go to some faraway town I'll never return to, then go to the supermarket and shit myself and just wander around
>>742 the same could be said for yoghurt but in india they're steady drinking exactly the thing you described with kala namak all the damn year
also, you're not getting any better flavour from solid than ground when it's kala namak, get the ground stuff

My sister was watching this video on how "aesthetics" are racist and "fatphobic" and her argument about body shaming and racism intersecting was based on a book that she admitted in the video she didn't read. It was weird and I also find it kind of racist itself that people are trying to compare being born black with being fat, something you can and should change.
>>754
I think fat acceptance is suspect in the sense that fatness becoming endemic is actually a recent phenomenon. I also think the "just diet and exercise" reaction to fat acceptance is equally as suspect for the same reasons though. I do think that people can individually change their lifestyle and become healthy, but I also think that the way fatness has spread, particularly in the poorest states should be evidence enough that it's also an environmental issue and the result of shit policies.
>>757
I hate to be reductionist, because it's way more than just a couple shit policies, but culture also plays a role. McDonalds makes a tasty combo meal and can advertise on TV as sexily as it wants, but there might be some barriers to the beef industry showing, like, a bunch of keto-carnivore dieters and stating simple facts about their weight loss and improved health.
I read a book today!
I think the keto thing is weight loss simply because the people stop snacking on things like chips/crisps

>>834 i think it also has to do with vicarious feelings of vitality/masculinity, it's always the people who seem least capable of actually playing a sport that are the most emotionally invested in sports. everyone i know who's actually fit and athletic and watches sports watches them because they can appreciate it as a contest of athleticism and not as some kind of weird mock-war substitute.
put another way, people who are actually full of vitality and masculinity don't feel the need to engage in performative masculinity by eating chicken wings and drinking beer and screaming at the television, they just go lift weights or jog or something.
Men who are already performing masculinity don't need to perform masculinity because that'd be extra redundant.
I guess I'm just autistic and don't understand gender roles or social cues or whatever but I don't see "enjoying gender marketed product" as "performative masculinity". It always seemed insulting that things like "masculinity" and "femininity" are boiled down to aesthetic and product preferences, the kind of thing I thought we were more or less moving past seeing as gendered.
Performative or toxic masculinity to me is a man insisting on a fight after you accidentally brush shoulders in an effort to signal to others he doesn't "put up with shit".
I don't know why would you have negative feelings about the idea that one of the many metaphysical qualities surrounding a commodity include a tacit association to arbitrary social roles. Just for curiosity, what part is it the one that you don't agree with or feel like it's incorrect: the part where acquiring commodities actually brings about some sort of superegoistical enjoyment not strictly attached to its use-value by drawing from our sense of identity, or that gender roles are actually conventional and ill-defined and thus prone to change through the mere exchange of commodities?
I eat chicken wings and scream inappropriately at television but that's because I like the taste of buffalo sauce and get over-excited easily. I don't see what it has to do with masculinity because I would likely do this if I was a woman or something else

Remember: boys have short hair, girls have long hair.
Hair length is something I don't even associate with masculinity/feminity and I didn't even realize it. Long hair on men depends on the person and can look really bad or really good depending on the guy. Sometimes it can be MORE masculine like in the case of metal

>>866 Gay people do a LOT of squatting so I don't doubt that for a second! But the "eye can do more exercises than u" and "hurr u insulted me so now eye have to beat u up" attitudes are the performative aspect they were talking about before.
>>871 i was the one talking about performative masculinity and i was making fun of the like, sean hannity listener types who jack off about how manly they are because they drink beer and watch sports but they're fat and weak and haven't touched a football in 30 years. while being ACTUALLY strong and masculine isn't something you can perform, you have it or you don't. and like it or not, strength and vitality are integral to masculinity.
performative masculinity: big trucks, big guns, beer, chicken wings, watching sports, trucker hats, dick jokes. a simulacrum of actual masculinity caused by the absence of truly masculine traits such as loyalty, fraternity, willpower, physical and spiritual strength, the ability to lead and command respect, etc.
not performative masculinity: posting on the elitist superstructure of dqn
it's possible to not be particularly physically strong and still be masculine, look at T.E. Lawrence, who was NOT a tall dark handsome peter o'toole style buff lady's man but was actually a 5'3 blonde porcelain-skinned vegetarian twink. rather than physical strength, he was endowed with an enormous strength of character and the ability to command respect and loyalty despite his stature. it's something you can't understand from a purely materialist perspective.
sorry i love boys so i think a lot about masculinity and what it means
>>872 yeah but feeling the need to prove it to others is the performance, seems like insecurity
>strength and vitality are integral to masculinity.
Idk this seems like an empty meaningless statement
> big trucks, big guns, beer, chicken wings, watching sports, trucker hats, dick jokes.
That's just a list of traits American people have? Loyalty and fraternity are more feminine traits, and hasn't it been found that countries led by women do better in some ways than ones led by males trying to prove how powerful they are?
How the fuck are chicken wings related to masculinity? It's a fun novelty food that isn't too heavy to drink with
performative masculinity is attempting to attack a pro wrestler and then dedicating your failed attack to Jim Cornette on twitter
>That's just a list of traits American people have?
yes and americans are generally fat, lazy, cowardly, and weak, both of body and spirit. i would not call the average american "masculine" in any way at all.
>Loyalty and fraternity are more feminine traits
christ this is what happens when they stop teaching classics in school. please read the illiad or something.
>classics
That's bizarre because The Odyssey arguably started the woman as a prize/reward for the hero, I thought that was the bad part of masculinity in fiction that was common until the last 10 years. I don't know if themes in classics are necessarily healthy to teach nowadays

>>880 Looking it up maybe I was wrong about fraternity, maybe in Greek times but when I think of fraternity today I think of gossipy hens at knitting club, sharing the dick pics they've received that week and having a laugh together. But regarding loyalty, wouldn't you agree the traditional view is that a man with lots of sexual partners is respected, while the woman is expected to stay loyal to her husband?

>weird twitter catholics and think "traditional" just means going back to like, 40 years ago
What's the difference between a Catholic and a Twitter Catholic? I know it is based on conservative moral attitudes (not a view I subscribe to) but I didn't mean traditional as in going back, it's a double standard in normal society that feminists rally against today. I guess loyalty to a spouse is a different kind of loyalty than towards a ruler or team or something
Twitter catholics are a bizarre mix of memes and light-traditionalism.
>wouldn't you agree the traditional view is that a man with lots of sexual partners is respected, while the woman is expected to stay loyal to her husband?
Not really. I mean, from an ultra traditional perspective that would either be adultery or a renunciation of celibacy, both of which would be shunned. It's only in recent times that having sex with multiple people has become less stigmatized. And these days men and women both get away with sleeping around a lot more, so it's not that unbalanced either gender-wise.
Lost track of who's who but funny how that one guy was decrying "performative" simulacra of masculinity in one breath immediately heralds a "performative" simulacrum of masculinity (weight lifting) in the other.
Gender is the new soul. I don't expect people to be consistent about it. Nobody is consistent about the qualities of the soul either.

There are lots of things that only exist in the diffuse space of social convention: family, religion, money, nation-states, how to properly use a toilet, any relationship to power including capital, the government, your parents and your teacher and yeah, gender. Many of these are ill-defined in some aspect, if you ask three different people why should we obey our parents you'll probably get three different answers. They exist in this paradoxical nature of not actually existing (i.e. spooks) but still very much influencing every aspect of the social order.
I don't think that realization by itself is very interesting as anything else except as a starting point though

>>898
Strength is about as integral to masculinity as a loud motorcycle.
>>899 if you inject yourself with testosterone it will make you strong and confident but it wont make you ride a loud motorcycle or eat chicken wings. i hope this clears things up.
>if you inject yourself with testosterone it will make you strong and confident

Wikipedia has extremely graphic photos of birth defects on it. Most are just charts of how inheritance of it works but some are just "here's a picture of a disfigured baby"

Americans think the world rotates around them, and their problems are the only ones that matter.
Probably everyone, but especially americans and brits when you speak their language. I wish I could chat on actual 2ch, but they wisely blocked all foreign ip

I dont think foreigners are still banned? Or at least cheapy/free proxies/VPN can circumvent it easily these days because of lax moderation.
Regardless, most boards on there are deader than dirt.
The foreign ip ban hasnt helped very much considering koreans or people pretending to be them still derail threads often

Nigerians act like this, especially ones who move for a higher quality of life but then raise the crime rates of wherever they move to. This happens even in africa
Every Nigerian I've met has had a certain smell to them, one rather distinct from the normal African American smell.
