The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
You sound uggo.
I don’t believe her since she banned me erroneously because she got very mad that I don’t believe in abortion up to the point of conception and made up some crap about me being a stalker.
I remember when she got a bee in her bonnet over that topic and temped-banned like four of us at the same time iirc.
To be fair, not everyone is mature enough and/or emotionally stable enough to discuss controversial topics on the internets. It is what it is.
Idk I was at work and ****ed up which word to use
You guys should cook bitter melon.
I actually tried it before and thought it was the worst thing I ever tasted. Either I massively ****ed up cooking it or it’s an acquired taste.
roc are you a 28 year old asian woman worried about your skin and metabolism slipping?
because that’s basically the bitter melon demographic
it’s the “beauty food” for young women who think they need to detox their blood, keep their skin clear, and stay thin so they don’t age out of the dating market
probably 99 percent of the people forcing that stuff down are just trying to stay camera ready
they call it healthy but let’s be honest, it has that name for a reason. it’s bitter and it’s disgusting
if asians didn't think it had those magical properties, nobody would eat it, it's pretty much exclusively eaten by single woman in their late 20s who are young enough to still have hope and cling to thinking if they just eat bitter melon a few times a week things will get better
like you'd pverhear it get ordered at a restaurant and without looking you know it's a bunch of women caring more about their figure than what they are eating
it's disgusting, the asian equivalent of wheat germ

I don't believe what I just read.

You can just say "I don't care for bitter melon" without making up a bunch of bullshit about Asian women.
Oh no he can't.
I don't know anything about the demographics of people who like bitter melon.
I concede that it is divisive. My wife and one of my kids hate it. But I truly like it, as does my other kid. In my opinion, you have to cook it with something rich--pork or beef if you are cooking Chinese food, yogurt or coconut if you are cooking Indian food--to balance out the bitterness.
in beijing that post would have played to a lot of agreement, including the table of single women eating it
like it's just so cut and dry, you go out for lunch with a bunch of colleagues and the women will say "we need some ku gua dishes because we want to look good" and then they are the only ones to touch it
the men aren't happy because that's a wasted dish in grand scheme of ordering - one person orders for the group making a calculated decision on dishes that'll complement each other well - so if you're in a group of 6 you can expect a good range of 4-7 dishes to order depending on portion size of the establishment but not you have one less option because one of the picks is wasted and doesn't really mix well with anything
big reason why people don't like ordering personal dishes and instead prefer family style dining is because then you get a huge range of options available (and if anything is in high demand you just order 2 of them) - even though every place has those now to accommodate single diners as there's no stigma against it there - lots of people never cook and eat out every meal so a big reason for gathering extra people to join you for lunch is in large part in order to get a better overall spread

You were banned for harassment. You cannot follow other posters from thread to thread because you’re angry about a topic. That goes for everyone.
Furthermore, and just for the record, your descriptions of late term abortion are so entirely disconnected from medical reality that it qualifies as dangerous misinformation the same way anti-vaxxers do. People are regularly killed and threatened over this type of misinformation. Just look up Dr George Tiller, may be RIP.

Doubling down on the lie, are we? Oh but I “misread” the conversation. You admitted yourself that you got carried away and reduced the ban, liar.
