I've got a local self-serve hot pot place in the mall less than a mile away. You pick up a bowl and tongs at the start of the line. Then you go down the line loading up your bowl; protein, veg, noodles, whatever you want. There's a huge selection of protein too, I counted at least eight different kinds of fish balls, and four or five cuts of pork. Then they weigh it to charge you, and you decide on a broth or sauce. They cook it how you want it (soup or stir fry), and you have a delicious, if pricey, meal. As at least an occasional treat I can't recommend it highly enough.

Being in that area is cheating relative to the rest of the US. I was in Columbia, MD for a week for work and the food was so good and varied that I've been thinking of as many work related reasons to go back in 2023, just to hang out in the local restaurants.

To make American Chinese food, you take a Chinese recipe, deep-fry anything that can be deep-fried, and add a cup of sugar to the sauce. It's incredible how much sugar you need to dissolve into a dish to make it taste like it came from Panda Express.

Hai Di Lao is the bomb, though there are definitely cheaper places. HDL’s service is just amazing. They also sell their broth for home hot pot and a self heating hot pot. If you ever have a chance, try satay lok lok, which is basically hot pot but the food comes on sticks and the broth is satay sauce. So drat good.

AITA for taking my son (15) out on the streets with me to see what addiction is really like after he was caught smoking and drinkingquote:I (35M) have a 15 year old son named Gavin. i remember DARE telling me that smoking marijuana even once, even just a single puff, could make me drop dead instantly. when i figured out that this was bullshit, it kind of made me think that everything else they said was a lie, too. so it kind of had the opposite effect from what they were going for i'm sure that OP telling his kid that weed will turn him into a homeless junkie is completely different, tho

Teaching his kid a lesson by taking him on the streets and introducing him to local dealers. I'll cut him a little slack for being an ex-smackhead but I've been amazed in my life at the amount of people that think drinking/weed instantly leads to injecting heroin.

At least he admits to his kid that he's speaking from his own bad experience. I got two siblings who think it's a good idea to completely hide their drug history from their kids. Surprisingly, teenagers don't respect your thoughts on weed when they think you've never even been in the same room as a joint because "that's what the bad kids did."

As someone with a whole load of addicts in the family I get where the dad’s coming from: “Other people can do what you’ve been doing, but we’re a family of addicts. Your friends might enjoy experimenting and can walk away without getting hooked, but you’ll get hooked on something like I did. This is where people just like us end up.” Better for the kid to be aware he’s vulnerable now before he tries something that’s addictive from the first dose.

The OP also says the kid is too young to smoke and drink, so maybe he's not trying to DARE it up, but caution his kid about using substances while he's still so young and developing.

Drug question aside, there's nothing wrong with OP's son meeting some of the unhoused folks in his area. There's empathy to be gained from realizing they're just vulnerable people in a lovely situation. The mom barely seems to realize they're human.

You invite the family for hot pot and they get shown to the big vat of acid room while you get tasty hot pot as a reward for dealing with their bullshit. You can't pollute a hot pot with their bad vibes both spiritually and culinarily.

There's empathy to be gained from realizing they're just vulnerable people in a lovely situation. The mom barely seems to realize they're human. Yea as a recovering addict myself I kinda am torn on how I feel about the base concept of 'smoking and drinking like a lot of teens do when they're just kinda feeling themselves out? TIME TO MEET MY BUDDY HERION STEVE AND HEAR HOW HE LOST HIS ARM AND FAMILY IN THE SAME NIGHT' but it does at least sound like the dad was fairly respectful about it while the mom assumed some level of inherent danger just because the kid was around the unhoused for five minutes and he at least is genuinely working with the community and helping them rather than treating them as just a scary boogeyman. Plus obviously I sympathize with him being worried about his kid with his own history and all. Basically I'd disagree with the exact leap he made as a concept but I think he's not an rear end in a top hat and his wife needs to get some empathy considering his own background and all. I think on the whole him being open about his own past and teaching his kid empathy for the unhoused/addicts in his area will be more effective than any kinda 'scared straight' stunt so I think he's still on the right track even if I'm not 100% down with his exact method.

is some scared straight bullshit. Talk to the kid about what the kid is doing. Openly talking about your own struggles with addiction can play into that, but it's way more important to make sure the kid doesn't go full-on binge drinking than it is to make sure they never, ever do any drug because dad liked smack.

AITA for telling my late dad's ILs that their granddaughter is not my responsibility?quote:I'm 19m and my younger sister Calla 15f lives with me. Our dad and his wife died three months ago. Mine and Calla's mom died when we were younger, dad and his wife had been married for 4 years. His wife had a daughter, Lacey, who is now 5. When CPS became involved because both were left orphan's, I stepped up to take my sister. I was already working full time since I skipped college and I just about had what I needed to take care of my sister. They asked me about Lacey and I told them I just wanted to take my sister. Block everybody.

AITA for not waking my husband up and causing him to miss his flight to attend christmas with his family?quote:My husband (33) "Al" is the only son in his family. He's spoiled af by his mom and 3 sisters. The way I see it they're treat him like royals, call him "heir", gift him expensive stuff. Prince level treatment. I didn't have an issue with it at first since they consider it "showing love and appreciation". But I used to get into a lot of arguments with his mom and sisters about not making efforts to treat him the way they treat him. Basically they claim I'm not showing "the same level of respect" they show him and because of that I got disinvited from lots of events including christmas. Al's stance is to stay out of it and when I complained about his family disinviting me from christmas, he said he couldnot force them to have guests they didn't want.

Horror_Business posted:If all he was doing was teaching empathy, that'd be cool but this: Yea it's a thing I need more info on to decide how I really feel about it I think. If it was just 'hey son today you're coming with me on my check-ins, you can help me get these guys some food and all and we'll talk to you about what addiction is like so you understand the risk you're taking' then it's probably fine but yea if it's just 'hey Jim tell the kid about how you sucked five dicks for drug money one night, alright later, don't wanna do that do you kid????' yea it's just DARE with slightly extra steps and won't do poo poo. It's a bit rough I think, because like someone else said this isn't some balding hotdog necked cop going 'IF YOU LOOK AT A JOINT YOU'RE GONNA DIE' but rather someone who actually went through that poo poo and at least seems to be helping his local community and all so I like to think there's more a focus on empathy than fear, but at the same time hell if I caught one of my younger cousins going nutty I'd probably also say I want them 'scared' too if I felt it would keep them from loving their lives up too. Obviously in isolation just talking to goons online it's easy for me to say 'well obviously the answer is to teach them the dangers of OVER indulging in anything frankly, and make sure they understand the risks addiction can have but the idea that the only solution is a zero-tolerance style 'a teen smoking weed? THEY'RE GONNA gently caress THEIR LIVES UP' attitude is absurd', but yea I can see how when its your kid in reality it's hard to blame a former addict from going a bit hard in the 'no seriously you need to understand how this can gently caress you up'. I guess at the end of the day I don't think he's an 'rear end in a top hat' and the bigger issue overall is his partner who seems to associate being unhoused and an addict with inherently being dangerous but yea I don't love 'and obviously the goal was to scare him' even if he did it 'better' than poo poo like DARE would. Or maybe I'm just a sap and want to give someone I empathize with the benefit of the doubt because I know how even when you've got addiction under control it can gently caress your mind up in other ways and I'd hope in a similar situation I could handle things well myself but am not 100% sure about that. This sucks and makes me sad someone post someone's mother in law trying to set off a bomb at their wedding because she was told she couldn't wear a full bridal gown as well or something.
