the "actually spicy" line makes me think their previous attempt at a spicy chicken sandwich was openly mocked for its blandness, and now they have to put a disclaimer like "ACTUALLY SPICY THIS TIME YOU GUYS, FOR REAL NOW". They should be overspicing the hell out of those chicken patties, out of spite

Ye's done a lot of poo poo worth criticizing in the last couple days. Standing up for artists rights is not one of them. Ye's already loaded and can get the streams on Spotify to stay that way, it's the smaller artists that are so hurt by streaming, the margins are so much lower on it then they were on CD or vinyl. If this forces the streaming platforms to give a larger slice to the actual artists it's a massive win for all musicians.

Even traditional record sales barely paid artists, it's insane how little money goes to the ppeople actually doing the work when you look in any entertainment industry.

I’ve had their “Nashville Hot Chicken.” It’s pretty good but barely hot at all.

unfortunately if food so much as existed in the same room as a bell pepper at some point and it doesn't get labeled spicy they will get review bombed by angry midwesterners upset that the restaurant tried to poison their babies with dangerous spices, why wasn't there a warning in the menu

No, what their doing is stretching the truth to make fun of the perceived lack of taste of Midwestern white Americans.

But I did date a Midwestern white American and she couldn't have black pepper in her potato soup because it was too hot. So in summary, maybe

My aunt used white pepper instead of black pepper because it "didn't have heat"

It wasn't successful in my opinion, but I was a kid so I don't know if it's valid or if she was an idiot. I have personally never used white pepper.

Depends on the dish. To me, white pepper has a flavor profile more similar to capsaicin.

yeah, white pepper does not taste as "peppery" as black pepper but it's got more of a generic (still mild) heat

it's good, you should get some

White pepper is the same fruit as black pepper. The difference is that white pepper is picked ripe and the skin is removed. Not too dissimilar to the difference between green and white tea for example.

Tidal is failed? I've been using it recently because I'm annoyed with Spotify, and while the free version is pretty limited, it also only has ads for Tidal premium, which are pretty tolerable. It also introduced me to We Were Promised Jetpacks, who are extremely good.

Tidal is problematic. Their in-house "mqa" format doesn't do what they claim it does, sound quality-wise, and they're going out of their way to hide it from everyone in the usual "make it hard to test, and when someone finds out that Tiday's lying about it, go HARD at poo poo talking them." There are more than a few people who think that Tidal's endgame isn't to be a streaming service, it's to try and get the music labels to replace the freely available .mp3 format with .mqa, which is owned and controlled by Tidal.

Is that even realistic?

I'd think it was just silliness, but at the same time I've seen multiple new default image formats show up replacing simple jpgs and pngs, which somehow just barely work or require new libraries or whatnot on windows/android.

Realistic? No. Something that music labels would bite on in a second to get that extra little bit of royalty from the file format that the music is encoded in? Absolutely. Surprised that it hasn't been tried before. Let's not forget that Tidal is now majority-owned by Jack Dorsey, former head of Twitter.

Given that the Australian Zinger burger has a heat level that's best described as "someone whispered to the chicken that white pepper exists moments before it died", I hope that this thing is actually worthwhile.

That said, the only McDonald's product that I've actually ever really enjoyed was the spicy crispy chicken they sold in China around '98-'99, and it was proper spicy. Like, after biting into it it would ooze oil that was red with chilli, and it compared favourably with actual Szechuan food in terms of how spicy it was.

Really? It seems like the web is beginning to settle on .webp as the universal new image format, and I think all the major browsers support it, aside from maybe iOS as they're always doing their own thing.
