Iirc she was one of the many celebrities where a bunch of media got creepy about doing countdowns to her birthday and implied legal "coming of age". Iirc, the major and mainstream UK publication The Sun did a countdown to her 16 year birthday. It is mind-blowing that the sexualization of kids is so mainstream that those countdowns are a thing.

Straight White Shark posted:I enjoy coffee but don't like what caffeine does to me so I normally drink decaf I mean it really just depends on what you like. A light roast is going to give you more of the tasting notes based on the region of the bean and all that. A dark roast can take a lot of the natural flavors out of the bean. But depending on your brew method you might get a better cup out of a darker roast.

I love the smell of coffee, but I really really hate the taste to the point that I've never finished even one cup of coffee including latte macchiato. Chocolate covered coffee beans are ok though. Just ok.

If you're getting drinks like whatever a latte macchiato is at Starbucks or peets you'll never like coffee. Those places are good for delicious milkshakes but not for coffee.

Latte macchiato is milk with some coffee in it. I've tried coffee from vending machines at uni, from a can in the supermarket, brewed by people who own and regularly use super fancy coffee making equipment, from Starbucks, from a generic train station coffee shop, from a fancy Vienna Café. Coffee that people called great and coffee that people claimed barely tastes like coffee at all. I hated them all equally.

Coffee is an acquired taste, no one likes it when they first try it. Most people don't like it later either, as evidenced by how common putting in tons of sugar, cream. etc, is.

More like, if someone puts Coke in their whiskey they don't actually like whiskey. Or if someone drenches their well done steak in ketchup they don't actually like steak. But it get's a little blurry, sure.

I get that the "twins/sisters" fantasy is about being with two women more than anything else, but it is weird as poo poo, still. Using terms like "daddy" and "baby" in a romantic or sexual context is weird, too. I get that you can't translate everything directly, but at least as a non-native English speaker, the primary concoction to family-relations is too strong for it to not sound creepy and off-putting.

It is fine to have preferences, but when someone is super picky it is just weird, and if you put sugar or sugary condiments on a lot of things it plays into that a little bit, I think, that's all, really. If someone has made a home-cooked meal, I also feel that it is completely legitimate to consider it rude for someone to season it heavily or use condiments without tasting it first. You should of course enjoy the meal however you like, and someone making you suffer through their bland meatloaf is criminal, but when someone has put effort into making a meal, at least trying it out as presented is a really basic way to show appreciation. Couldn't care less what you do about a meal that you bought at a restaurant, though.

Speaking as someone who was raised this way, I think that is more a result of their parents never seasoning food before serving it, expecting you to do it yourself. My parents still don't understand the point in adding seasoning until after it's done cooking. So when you think that's just the way people cook, of course you're going to salt/pepper it before trying it. I don't think it's usually meant to be offensive in any way.

Taking offence to someone putting condiments on food you made for them is really dumb. You know that different people have different tastes and if someone knows that they prefer things with more salt or whatever then they should feel free to make such modifications. It's not an insult to you to say "I have different food preferences than you". If I buy you an ice-cream I won't be offended if you choose a flavour I don't like, so why should I be offended if I made you lasagne and you put tomato sauce on it?
