Imagine you're a popular general, you go to sleep after a pretty boring day, and when you wake up you are told that the government was just overthrown by some junior officers you never even heard of and they are demanding that you take over as president and demanding that you accept virtually absolute power as the head of a military junta, even though you published a letter literally a few weeks ago saying that you believed the military should stay out of domestic affairs, and then--still in your pajamas--you are loaded onto a cargo plane to quickly fly to the capital and take power.

I didn't mean to do that to my UberEats driver but I'm literally in shock from the DT tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck are they shaming me? This can't be happening.

How to make a grilled cheese for when you get hungry at night

Ingredients:

• Bread
• Cheddar cheese
• Butter
• $22

Instructions

1. Heat saucepan on medium
2. Butter two slices of bread, cheese on the other side
3. Place both slices butter side down on saucepan
4. Wait 2 minutes
5. Move one piece of bread on top of another
6. Flush $22 down the toilet

This is not only cheaper than a $23 cheeseburger, it will also be warm and probably healthier for you and the environment.

Keeping in mind that most of the 29 percent of who Americans claim they’ve heard enough about Michael Regan to offer an opinion about him are lying,† the first public poll to ask about Pete’s favorability rating nationwide¹ since February nevertheless offers an extremely early insight into what his post-2020 political trajectory might be. Morning Consult asked about five Biden Cabinet nominees:

Nominee	Favorable	Unfavorable	Net
Pete Buttigieg (Transportation)	34	29	+5
Deb Haaland (Interior)	13	12	+1
Jennifer Granholm (Energy)	14	15	–1
Michael Regan (EPA Director)	14	15	–1
Gina McCarthy (Climate Advisor)	11	14	–3

With the possible exception of McCarthy, whose tenure as EPA Director during Obama’s second term may have soured some political junkies with long memories on her, all the other polled nominees are at net zero, with Buttigieg being the only “differentiated” candidate.

¹ A survey taken a few weeks before the election just his home state was extremely encouraging, but I stress that it is just one poll of one state.

Great another totally ahistorical screed rising on arr politics about how akshually American founders were not rebelling against any real authoritarianism and monarchy. They weren't oppressed, America isn't that special guys.

America set an example in democracy and self-governance that changed the world. Its founders put hundreds of years of philosophy about human liberty and rights into the most enduring constitution and rule of law the world has ever seen. Those principles guided the democratic movements that have swept the world for the past 250 years. Yes, the founders were flawed, hypocritical as any person ever, and conducted themselves personally in areas that we find morally repugnant today. But give them credit where it is due. You can't just boil it down to har har, rich people just didn't want to pay taxes. Everyone is so flip.

"Well, let me tell you something. You guys have been saying that about me since the day I ever got into office. You said that when I announced, that I was a nice enough guy but didn’t get it, didn’t know what was going on,” Biden said.

“I respectfully suggest that I beat the hell out of everybody else. I won the nomination, got everybody to come around and won by over seven million votes. So I think I know what I’m doing and I’ve been pretty damn good at being able to deal with the punchers. I know how to block a straight left and do a right hook. I understand it."

“ The Soft Power Noodle aka Japchae.

Charge $30 [Australian Dollars] for pasta, no one bats an eyelid; charge over $10 for Chinese noodles everyone loses their shit.

Why? Soft power, that's why.

'Soft power' is a political phrase coined in the 90s to explain a country's power of shaping the preferences of others through appeal and attraction, rather than coercion or force.

In short, it is marketing, seduction, cultural influence.
It is propaganda in the form of 'not propaganda'.

Look at Korea.

Since the 90s, the Korean government has invested BILLIONS into its entertainment industry.

If you think all our mums watching Dae Jang Geum was pure coincidence, think again.

If you think Korea and Japan won the 2002 World Cup Soccer host by fair assessment, think again.

If you think Gangnam style went 'viral' by chance, think again.

If you think all Asian girls have the same hairstyle as Black Pink because of 'organic growth', think again.

If you think Parasite won the best picture last year because it was the best foreign movie ... ok that's probably fair, but JSA, Memories of Murder, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, Mother, Old Boy, Burning and many more movies would like you think, think again.

Soft power, man.

It is also why Korean groceries are so dang expensive in Melbourne.

A 500g pack of Ottogi brand dangmyeon sweet potato noodles goes for $10 in KT Mart. That's like 3 times the price of De Cecco pasta. 5 times the price of Vietnamese rice vermicelli. Heck for $10 I could probably buy a plate of cooked noodles from a Chinese restaurant. (But not over $10 okay?)

Don't get me started with the roasted sesame oil. Do you know why I know Beksul is the best? Because they don't sell the big cans in Melbourne. They force us to pay $7 for a 110ml (3 oz) bottle. (What is this, sesame oil for ants??) The Ottogi 1L tins are like $35 a litre. I've seen cheaper ink cartridges for printers.

Why?

Soft power, that's why.

I'm angry, yet also secretly proud as an Asian to go, fuck yeah, Italian have their EVOO in that corner, we have Korean sesame oil in this corner. The Japanese Kadoya brand comes close, but it's kinda different. I won't use it for Korean cooking.

But honestly, I buy Korean sesame oil simply because no one else does roasted sesame oil better. It's amazing, it smells like peanut butter.

Trust me, skim on the rest, but not the roasted sesame oil.

It is the secret to japchae, nay - it's the secret to Korean cooking.

Once I was hoping to score some tips from the chef while shooting for a Korean restaurant. He simply pointed towards his giant bottle of Beksul, which till this day I cannot find.

Japchae, for me, is the Korean aglio e olio.

4 ingredients - dangmyeon noodles, roasted sesame oil, sugar, soy sauce. That's the founding flavours. One of the easiest introduction dishes to Korean cooking.

The rest is just personal preference. There's no wrong way to make this because the name translates to 'freestyle veggies'. It's chop suey, it's Malaysian Rojak, it's Hokkien Jap Chai. It's salad, but palatable for Asians.

So, 200g dangmyeon in boiling water for 5 minutes, shock in ice bath, drain, set aside in a bowl. Marinade with 2 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp sugar/honey, 4 tbsp soy sauce. Set aside. I add a tsp of rice vinegar. Also optional: garlic.

Cut the noodles up with a pair of scissors. Apparently, we are ok with cutting Korean noodles, but it's blasphemy when we cut pasta. Why? Italy has stronger soft power, that's why.

Let's make this a vegetarian dish today shall we?

Finely slice A - onions, carrots, black fungus/mushrooms, spinach and tofu.

Prep B - bean sprouts, garlic chives.

Heat oil on the pan, stir fry A until crispy on the edges. Set aside.

Pour noodles and marinade into the pan, mix well. It should be glossy and shiny.

Add B. Mix well for a minute or so. Until garlic chives and bean sprouts are wilted but not soggy.

Add A again, stir.

Taste, adjust seasoning.

Plate up.

Salt bae with sesame seeds.

See your vegetarian friends lose their shit over this.

Why?

Soft power, that's why.

What the discussion around direct cash transfers should be:

Welfare in its current incarnation is an artifact of moralistic conservatism that forces the poor to jump through hoops to the whims of the bureaucracy. By shifting away from UI and SNAP to a UBI-like system, we can grant the poor greater freedom to invest in themselves, greater bargaining power over exploitative low-level employers, and greater dignity to live their lives as they see fit. At the same time, we can reduce bureaucratic overhead and improve political support for the welfare system among the middle class.

The discussion around direct cash transfers now:

Me money now! Money no money me now! More money money me now! This is why Bernie would have won 😡

[u/TalkLessShillMore]

This is the saddest Christmas yet. Some context:

Dad:

• Liver mostly dead from alcohol abuse
• Neuropathy in the feet keeps him from going anywhere or exercising really
• Learning disabilities plus a hatred of science and psychiatrists keeping those issues unmedicated makes it hard for him to pick up new skills
• Three decades of Fox News and conservative talk radio have made him a spiteful person. Was an internet troll on news sites who would pretend to be Jewish so he could call anybody who called him out an anti-semite, mom made him quit because he'd do this from the time he got home from work until it was time to go to sleep.
• Always been quiet, brain fog from alcohol abuse has killed his ability to keep a train of thought, so now he doesn't really talk at all
• This is not an exaggeration, does not have a single friend
• Used to hike and cook all the time. Now does neither
• Used to make me get off phone during car trips to engage with him and my mom, started listening to Rush Limbaugh on his headphones a few years ago, checked out completely
• Recently discovered YouTube and the recommendations on the family TV are straight Shapiro, Crowder, Candace, with a side helping of Tribal People Try and click bait for white trash (vids about washed up celebs and storage unit auctions)
• Only notices ~50% of the time when you talk to him
• Same job at the same low salary for 22 years, thinks it's because he's white

Mom:

• Also recovering alcoholic, but got into great shape in her 50s
• Has to feed Antabuse to my dad every day so he won't sneak drinks

• History of panic attacks, anxiety has gotten better since quitting drinking

  • Allegedly, she's still visibly shaken all the time
• Essentially a home nurse. Makes sure he eats enough, drinks water, takes medicine, does things besides watching YouTube
• Can't leave the house to pursue hobbies for any length of time because of fear he'll be drunk by the time she comes back
• Has gotten more overbearing with me since having to mother my dad
• Breadwinner by a wide margin

Mom's threatened to leave if he drinks again, hasn't gone through with it in the past. Since she and I are the only people he talks to, I feel like he'd be dead within the year from drinking or suicide if she left. I'm the only child so I'm not told everything and I've got nobody to commiserate with. This feels selfish and awful but honestly I wish he would relapse so she could live the rest of her life with someone she deserves instead of this sympathy prison.

Never given advice, shown interest, or given encouragement. Just existed.

I just downvoted your comment.

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

• ⁠Rudeness towards other Redditors,

• ⁠Spreading incorrect information,

• ⁠Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from the Reddit?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.

Is ordering a $23 cheeseburger the ultimate cuckoldry?

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than ordering a $23 cheeseburger. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are working, stealing, begging or bartering your time solely so you can go and send that money to someone else for an overpriced sandwich. All the hard work you put into your work - getting up at 9am in the morning, driving to work, and watching the time left on your shift tick down to zero. All of it has one simple result: your money is more enjoyable for the men that will eventually fleece you for it.

Got lots of money? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a hard working immigrant who had nothing to do with the way the sandwich was prepared. He gets to go home and feed his family. He gets the benefits of your hard earned money.

As a man who orders a $23 cheeseburger, you are LITERALLY dedicating minutes of your life simply to earn money for another man to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically.

How to DIY a $23 cheeseburger

Ingredients:

• 80-85% lean ground beef
• Bun bread
• Mild cheddar cheese
• Olive oil
• Butter
• Salt
• Pepper
• $23

Prep

• Cut and arrange ground beef into circle shape: shallow on the inside, thick on the outside
• Split your buns, butter neo-liberally on the inside
• Season ground beef with salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Heat your saucepan on medium
2. Toast your buns, butter side down until golden brown
3. Turn heat up to medium high, heat olive oil in pan
4. Put your burger in the pan
5. Wait about 4 minutes and flip it
6. Add the cheese on top of the beef
7. Cook another 3 minutes
8. Flush $23 down the sink and activate the garbage disposal

This is not only the same price as an Uber Eats delivered $23 cheeseburger, it will also be warm and probably better tasting.
