I am eating morkovcha right now so I've got a question. Have you ever heard about koryo-saram (ethnic Koreans in post-Soviet mostly Central Asian countries) cuisine?

Reblogs are welcomed

Hate to break it to the folks in the comments but the 18-30 age group has the biggest percentage of blue votes

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

when I was a kid I thought the weather guy on TV controlled the weather and he was just telling us what he was gonna do for the next few days. when he said "30% chance of rain Thursday" I thought he was just guessing how likely it was he'd wake up in a rain mood that morning

Blaming the homophobia of US companies on China is an absurd conspiracy, yes, but saying that there are no homophobic laws and restrictions in China is.. well, weird. Like, Chinese streaming services often cut LGBT-related scenes from western shows. Content showing same-sex relationships is explicitly banned on Chinese television. And we're only talking about censorship right now... Yeah, it's not as bad as, for example, in Russia, but surprise surprise, China is a country with heavy state censorship and certain homophobic laws.

whenever a liberal blames disney homophobia on china I blow up another AO3 datacentre

Wow, in that ceremonial portrait you always see on wiki he's really recognisable. Especially those eyes and eyebrows:

PSA:

Acetaminophen/paracetamol has a hard stop upper dose limit, above which it becomes extremely toxic.

That limit is 4g (8 “extra strength” (500mg) tablets) in 24 hours (about 2 tablets every 6 hours).

A single dose of 22 extra strength tablets can kill you.

Taking 12 or more tablets per day for more than a week can also kill you (this is about 3 tablets every 6 hours).

Symptoms of overdose take up to 24 hours to manifest, and are fairly difficult to distinguish from other problems. They include abdominal pain (especially right upper quadrant), nausea, malaise, and confusion.

The antidote (n-acetylcystine) must be given within 8hours of ingestion in order to be useful.

After 10 hours the only thing that will work is a liver transplant.

You might think “why would I ever accidentally take so much?”

Well, acetaminophen is in almost everything in the cold/flu/pain aisle. Migraine combos like Excedrin, cold and flu combos like NyQuil, basically anything that says “non-aspirin pain relief”, and anything that’s branded as a fever reducer. It’s all probably acetaminophen/paracetamol.

So the goal of this post is to get you to read the labels on your medications. Because taking taking Tylenol and NyQuil together for a week (like you might if you had the flu) could kill you.

Love how anthropology in an attempt to distance itself from its original sin (skull measuring etc) has become the leftest academic discipline possible. There are centrist or even right-wing historians, economists, but have you seen one social anthropologist who leans even a little bit to the right? No because there are none of them

in stressful times like these, let’s take a minute to remember what really matters: the critically acclaimed first season of amc’s The Terror, which I have just uploaded for free onto google drive for your viewing pleasure

Don't much care for the whole "I will no longer do this Normal Thing if I suspect someone watching me might have a fetish for it." like, y'all this is why people are censoring their damn feet in otherwise-innocuous photos.

Hate to break it to you but everything is a fetish. Drinking water? Fetish. Eating? Fetish. Sneezing? Fetish. Clearing your throat? Fetish. Burping, farting, pissing, shitting, walking, sitting, standing, having your mouth visible when you talk, making certain mouth sounds, your accent (yes yours), your skin color (yes yours), makeup, lack-of-makeup, smelling bad, smelling good, smelling neutral, hair, lips, noses, eyes, ears, chins, shoulders, necks, armpits, elbows, fingers, chests, stomachs, backs, hips, thighs, knees, knee pits, ankles, toes, soles - all fetishes. Like it or not someone somewhere will Perceive You and they will Like What They See.

And they will be silent and normal about it because guess what? Fetishes are normal and most people know how to conduct themselves around others tactfully. We only ever find out about specific fetishes as they relate to us in particular when someone is choosing to be decidedly Not Normal about it, so we assume everyone who has those fetishes is a tactless weirdo. Rookie mistake. I guarantee some of your friends have fetishes for innocuous non-sexual things too, and it doesn't make them some kind of pervert creep.

So please for fucks sake live your damn life. Don't contort your entire existence around the fear of the possibility that you might maybe possibly inadvertently turn someone on a little sometimes. This too is a fetish.

Some argue that kiras love interests were bland and boring and she is too good for the likes of shakaar or bareil. But i argue that its really really funny that her taste in romantic partners is so uninspiring. She loves a man that is dull as fuck.

setting a lofty goal and failing is better than resigning yourself to the status quo, or worse. you learn something in the attempt, you get a little further by doing something. you stay where you are, your eyes obscured by a veil of smug self-satisfaction, when you do nothing at all
