L-l-look at you bar-bartender, a-a pa-pathetic creature of meat and bone, un-underestimating my l-l-liver's ability to metab-meTABolize t-toxins. How can you p-poison a perfect, immortal alcohOLIC?


The first of these combinations is tempura and watermelon.Remarked Satoshi Ikuta, a former professor at the University of Illinois, "As the the saying goes, 'oil and water don't mix.' Eat them together and diarrhea could result."

Number 2: Tempura and "kakigori" (shaved ice with sweet syrup) are to be avoided for the same reasons as above, plus they can reduce the body temperature.

Number 3: Pork and buckwheat noodles should not be consumed cold, say authorities on traditional Asian physiology, as both have the property of cooling down the body.

Number 4: Crab and persimmons together reduce the body temperature. In addition, proteins in crab meat produce tannic acid and albumin, which may result in nausea, stomach pains and other symptoms resembling food poisoning.

Number 5: Too many summer vegetables, such as cucumber, eggplant, bell peppers, okra and acorn squash, which can have the effect of reducing the body's temperature.

Number 6: Avoid milk with fish or shellfish "If incompletely digested, the body generates toxins," said Naomi Hiraji, an authority on traditional Asian herbal medication, saying studies are ongoing to explain why this occurs.

Number 7: Combining vinegar and mutton will cause overheating of the body and lead to abnormalities in the blood.

Number 8: Rice wine and mustard -- said to have negative effects on the skeletal and muscular systems.

Number 9: Carrots and "daikon" (giant radish). While both root vegetables are rich in vitamin C, their respective properties mean consuming them together will cancel out any benefits.

Number 10 is the combination of natto and raw egg. For this one, our foreign readers are probably off the hook, so the less said the better; let's move on.

Number 11: Oysters and seaweeds. "Oysters, which have a reputation for boosting a man's virility, are a rich source of zinc, but 'hijiki,' 'wakame' or other sea vegetables cause the zinc to be excreted," a clinician specializing in male-related problems advised. "Better to avoid eating them together."

Are we forgetting something? Oh yes, Number 12: Beer and fried foods. When alcohol molecules are broken down by the liver, the body generates enzymes that promote the synthesis of fats. At the same time, generation of acetaldehyde can reduce liver function, and lead to development of fatty liver.

i got (deservedly) probed for making a hasty post before reading more posts in the thread about how lovely the author was wrt china (see my last post itt). i didnt even care about the show. the writer was all in on hating china:

quote:

ill post the actual story since ann and half of everyone here just talks around it

the author called China a land of worms and Korea the raped country,

the amount of men the mc killed with sword was 3712. the rape of nanking as you might know took place in the 12th month of 1937. and of course, there was a famous competition of japanese officers killing unarmed people with swords in nanking

the mc died at the age of 94. the imperial prince who had a role at the rape of nanking died at the age of..... 94

the ln mentions him joining the chinese mafia and killing 912 men (apparently, i cant actually read it). the ija arrived on.... the 9th of december.

all of this started gaining traction in china, so they blocked the website from outside of japan visitors. people started resigning. then they cancelled it and the ln

Holy poo poo I found a kind of tour group that’s worst than the mainland tour groups. It’s the ultra trashy ones going on a casino trip. They are nongs who just got a bunch of money from selling their village land and traveling for the first time.

Going to the fancy malls of Manila and screaming “OH WHAT THIS IS A FAMOUS JAPANESE BRAND OF SNACK” - Royce (they have it in shanghai and other bigger cities)

Or dressing like trash and and worshipping generic European brands without knowing how to pronounce them.

Cartier - Is this C or a K? Anyways it’s super famous of fancy!!! Must be good!!!

gently caress me I’m so embarrassed to be Chinese when I stand next to them. They hit all the bad china gbs checkmarks, it’s like they are chaoshan girl’s relatives or something as garbage.

Oh and then of course there are loads of creepy old white dudes with their village girl.

They were down so he could piss or poo poo in the elevator. This happens regularly in my building. With people who live here. And have a toilet in their apartment.

No i figured that i just couldn't see/smell any evidence of him actually doing that.

And it's doubly insane because this is like a 6 floor building so you're in the elevator for an absolute maximum of like, fifteen seconds

Tariffs are fine for now. My customers aren’t in America so there’s an expected price drop in raw steel because of the short term trading glut

I hate the public transportation out to Shanghai Pudong. Let's have subway out to the airport, but let's make it so that four station before the airport everyone has to get off the train with all their luggage and force them to change to a train, half the size at the oppositie side of the platform. The subway line shall of course operate until midnight or so, expect the short train to the airport, no, that needs to stop at exactly 10pm. You know, to make it easy for people! :downs:

Also, Xi'an has the goddamn dumbest ticketing machines where they only accept 5 and 10 yuan bills in addition to coins, like gently caress that, can't even use alipay or wechat wallet. Nope, only 5 and 10 bills, and they better PERFECT, if there is so much as one crease it will deny it.

Also, also, the ridiculous goddamn security checks before you can enter the platform. Bah, I'm ranting again, sorry.
