Well that lines up with my own experience. Good to know. Papparich tastes horrid anyway, so I'm not surprised they're randomly racist as well. Also, the dumb marketing is that they advertise all, and I mean that, of their food with chopsticks as the main utensil. It's not full-bore racist but it sure is an odd choice for a cuisine that doesn't normally use them.

Yeah, Malaysian food uses either regular utensils or one's hands. Even most Malaysian Chinese eat their noodles with a fork, at least in my experience. Only in the really Chinese areas of town, or in Chinese restaurants, are chopsticks provided, and even then as an alternative to regular utensils.Platystemon posted:Eating Malaysian food with chopsticks is no more racist than eating pizza with a fork. It is impractical and/or really gauche though, depending on whether you're eating rice dishes or traditional Malaysian pastries.

When I lived in Indonesia the locals thought it was goddamn amazing I knew how to eat with chopsticks. It was so surreal.

Barudak posted:Recently I visited a friend of my spouse. They have a small child and a cat, and so were convinced their cat would be fine with me despite my background with them. She is so friendly, they said, she plays with our infant, she likes being petted, everyone in the neighborhood cuddles her. Despite this, I refused to approach the cat because why have a 7th unpleasant experience with a supposed nice cat, but my spouse, encouraged, put out their hand to pet the cat. It promptly bit them. Cats are pretty easy to read but if you're not a cat person or have never owned cats I guess it could be confusing. Generally you let the cat get used to your presence and if it wants to it'll come visit you, but it's not a great idea to approach a cat and attempt to touch it if it doesn't know you. My parents cat is like my favorite animal out of the 4 (other dogs who are also sweet) in their household and she will rub up and down on me and is the sweetest thing in the world but she'll run from strangers unless they're sitting for a while and then she'll come up to smell them and rub on them

Although in the context of the rest of Barudaks post you must be emitting some sort of pheromone that drives cats insane, I have never seen or heard of cats bounding out of a room to attack shoes and the owner of those shoes lmfao

A friend's cat has a shoe fetish, but he'll go after everyone's shoes as long as they're leather and left unattended and he isn't aggressive about it. Barudak seems to inspire seething hatred in every cat he meets. My money is on the werewolf theory.

When I has just returned to the states as a little kid, like maybe five, we visited some family friends. They had a cat and I ignored it since my parents told me not to play with strange animals and I dont think I had literally ever seen one before. The owner asked if I wanted to pet it and then started walking me through how to be good with a cat. Finally they told me to hold out my hand while they also reached to pet the cat so it was comfortable. It clawed me so badly and deeply on my forearm my family had to rush me to a hospital to make sure I was ok. In terms of dumb marketing Acclaim offered to pay people Acclaim got to put video game advertisements on those peoples tombstones.

I think my relationship with our last family cat was reversed - she was always wandering in trying to sit on my lap and stuff, but I hated that because she was always trying to knead my thighs and I was never that comfortable with that sort of thing. However when she was sleeping on my parent's bed I'd often lie beside her and just chill for a while. We weren't a cat and her human, we were a human who behaved like a squirrel, and a cat that had to let me come to her. I've always been timid around animals though. On the movie spoiler chat from a few pages ago, I tend to avoid spoilers unless I don't give a poo poo, but sometimes old movies have been old to me on the strength of their concept. I bought Whatever Happened to Baby Jane after reading the wiki article (really only skimming it so I didn't take much of the synopsis in, I saw it on an advert on another movie set when that one came out, and researched it), and loved the ending, partially because I'd mostly forgotten what I'd read so it was still fresh. The twist about who caused the accident that put Blanche in a wheelchair, and the line "Do you mean... all this time we could have been friends?" hit really hard after the ever escalating emotional terrorism that Jane puts Blanche through through her jealousy, and certain reveals about the extent of Jane's cruelty and madness are really interesting, especially when she admits to reading Blanche's mail and tapping her phone by calling her out on a lie. "Do you think I don't know everything that goes on in this house?" is a great moment.

my cats are the sweetest and most genial creatures I've ever known, and if they actively dislike anyone upon meeting them (as opposed to the usual and reasonable short period of skepticism and caution) I'm just going to assume that person is actually a loving terminator here's another one of the hunks of Personal Injury Lawyer Twitter, which is my favorite thing at the moment

I used to work for a company (let's call them University Research and Tech) that showed some strong initial growth but failed to impress investors. In response, the leadership team went dark for about a 9-month period to figure out how they were going present the next generation of whatever the company was going to do. The grand unveiling? A "cleaner" logo and compressing the company name into a meaningless acronym (URT) that was supposed to signal broader growth potential or some poo poo. It was confusing, and literally every reference to the company going forward was framed as "URT, formerly University Research and Tech," so they never got away from the old name. Three years later they got chopped up and swallowed by a private equity firm. Still referenced as "URT, formerly University Research and Tech" in media.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:In fact I've got a recommendation for trying it out: This movie didn't do so well so odds are you never saw a trailer to begin with. See Denzel Washington's film Deja Vu. Don't read anything about it, don't even look too hard at the key art. Just dive in, and enjoy the shift from generic 90s-style cop thriller to something else. Apropos of nothing, I appreciate this recommendation.
