    This is just a poor translation. It’s a colloquialism to say you’re jacking off when you’re lazy and doing nothing. In fact, it’s the same colloquialism in English. We literally say the exactly same thing when we call someone useless. What’s really interesting in my opinion is you already know this. Yet because it’s from a translation and you know that, your brain didn’t think about the colloquialisms. It’s kind of crazy how our brains work.




  • Wow, this shows absolutely no understanding of how ERA works. Let’s pretend for a second that the light steel in a truck is enough to protect against the backfire of an ERA brick. It’s not, but let’s pretend. Even then, only the door would be protected, everything else that’s on glass, which all of it pretty much is would backfire into the truck cabin. It’s like sticking grenades all over your truck.

    Well… if you’re in America I’d be cautious about adding anything. Unfortunately, American peanut butter is already heavily seasoned with sugar and salt which makes it a game of over powering the seasonings that are already in American peanut butter. But if you crush your own peanuts with a small amount of salt, as others have said do as the Asians do. Curry powder works great, cumin and as all Asians pretty much do, add some kind of hot sauce (if you can take spicy). But sadly, if you’re looking at a can of jiffy, you’re gonna need a lot of curry powder to overwhelm the salt and sugar content.

    Yup, that’s what the Chinese are saying when they say it’s dry. You gotta have seasoning. That 5 spice I was talking about, that’s actually different from place to place. Each one representing the flavors that the chef wanted. It’s actually the same in India. Curry powder is not a real thing. Each area and household has their own spice mix.

    For me personally, while I agree with you that you should make your own, I tend to just use Cajun seasoning. Dunno, it’s cheap and readily available. But you keep doing you. Personal spice blends is absolutely the way to go.

    Actually sort of. I mean I guess what you would call a soup. Though the Chinese would just consider that a sauce. The put that shit on everything. Well different sauces. Here’s a random picture of a Chinese school lunch.

    https://whatsforschoollunch.blogspot.com/2009/08/china-school-lunch-fish-and-vegetables.html

    You see how the veggies are glistening? They’re covered in a sauce made with cornstarch and broth. Even the fish has a layer of sauce on it.

    So yeah, a sandwich would be pretty dry. But that’s not really what they’re talking about.

    In Chinese food, there’s an insane amount of seasonings that basically go in everything. At a minimum they use something called 5 spice which is a mixture of you guessed it, 5 spices. So the dry they’re referring to is actually seasoning. So something like a subway sandwich with italian dressing, salt, pepper and oregano wouldn’t be dry in the way they’re using it. They’re really just referring to the sandwich being unseasoned. Also, here’s a tip, if you’re going to make a sandwich, season it. Even just adding salt and pepper will make it taste way better.






  • And those protests were like the American protests didn’t get anything done. It wasn’t until 7 years later when they simply asked nicely. If anything, you’re proving violence doesn’t work and the best option is to literally simply ask nicely.

    Thus, my point about the violent protest being unrelated. It did NOT cause the regime change. I’m not talking about what it’s about, I’m talking about what actually switches the government.

    I never said nations don’t have problem. My list of violent massacres in USA proves that. I’m saying violent protests does not lead to regime change as often as a peaceful transition. Your Korean argument proves that as the violent protest did nothing, vs the peaceful one.

    *Edit: To be clear, if we study history we find peaceful regime change far more likely than violent ones. BUT people like YOU keep creating violent situations that do not help the situation. If people like YOU stop being violent, maybe we could work towards actually beneficial transitions.


  • Nice try but you don’t get to argue that a protest over 7 years ago and is unrelated caused the peaceful transfer.

    I mean you might as well argue that the blood of Americans were spilled for their freedoms in BLM, Kansas State Massacre, the Chicago fire. Oh wait, those protests massacres happened AFTER USA was a democracy. It’s almost like they’re not related to being a democracy or not and the June protests weren’t part of that massacre because it’s a 7 YEAR gap.



  • So I don’t know how the Russian/Ukrainian war is going to go. I mean Trump is such a wild card it’s hard to say. But I want to point out that your comment:

    that tyranny doesn’t go away by asking nicely. Never has, never will.

    Is very wrong. The weirdest thing is you state if you’re paying attention. Well, if you’re paying any attention what so ever, you’ll see that tyranny regularly gets displaced by asking nicely. In fact, in recent history we have South Korea with a peaceful democratic transfer, Taiwan which also had a peaceful democratic transfer, Singapore and many others. And that’s just recent history. Let alone all the Kingdoms that were displaced by democracy in history such as the UK. Heck, the UK still has a monarch and yet run in a democracy because of how peaceful the transfer was. Thailand as well. I could go on, but I think you get the point. In fact one of the MOST COMMON ways to go from Monarchy/Dictatorship to democracy is a peaceful transfer. Obviously that doesn’t always happen, but it’s quite common to simply ask nicely.

    *Edit: Actually Ukraine ITSELF was a peaceful transfer from tyranny to democracy. That’s the REASON Putin is angry and jealous of them. I mean you don’t even have to look outside of the combatants to see a peaceful transfer. Which is gone now, but that doesn’t take away that it happened.
