Bulgogi, Kimbap, Tteokbokki, Jjajangmyeon and so many more good Korean dishes.

If your opinion of Chinese food is based on takeout, I can promise you haven't had real Chinese food.

And this is just some of the sexual stuff, I didn't even bother looking through all of the explicit violence:

Genesis 19:33

And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

Genesis 38:8

And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

2 Samuel 16:22

So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.

Ezekiel 23:18

So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister. Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.

Deuteronomy 21:18

If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.

Deuteronomy 22:28

If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

Judges 19:22

While they were enjoying themselves, some of the wicked men of the city surrounded the house. Pounding on the door, they shouted to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house so we can have sex with him.”

You should check out Korea or China for much better food, though. Japanese food isn't bad but it is terribly boring. Even most of the interesting Japanese dishes have Chinese origins.

Might depend on the region/cuisine though and different things that set people off.

I can't eat most Italian food without taking a Tums or some omeprazole because the tomato, olive oil, and cheeses common in those sorts of dishes just wrecks me. But spicy food I don't struggle with much at all, so Szechuan food and Mexican food doesn't really bother me.

The one time I tried an English style breakfast with greasy sausage and beans also had me feeling sick most of the day, and I also skipped the tomato with that one. I shudder to think of what a German currywurst might do to me.

Hey, don't leave Australia and New Zealand out of club soccer, too. Soccer happens to be the preferred term in most anglophone countries.

Tums is just calcium carbonate (chalk, basically) and is essentially the same as any other rapid relief antacid tablet. Google tells me that a brand called Rennie is the same thing and is apparently available in much of Europe.

Might be more commonly taken in the US because Americans tend to eat greasy, heartburn-inducing food more often.

They hated him because he spoke the truth.

The culture of France stems from a long-standing Christian default. In language, dress, behavior, holidays, etc. There's no need to ban "Christian" clothing, for example, because Christian clothing is western clothing and it's everywhere. France can try to use the excuse that these material descendants of older, religious-compliant garments are now "secularized," but Laicite precludes the potential normalization of other cultural influences entering that space in the name of some sort of French cultural purity.

If people want to wear a hijab not because of religion but because it's trendy, would that be different? France says no.

But is that any different than a woman choosing to wear a "secular" skirt or dress long enough that you can't see her ankles just because it looks nice? Do French offices chastise employees if they wear black after someone dies? Do they care as much if someone opts not to wear mixed fabrics, even for religious reasons?

This is why Laicite is flawed, because it only recognizes religions of the "other" as modes of expression while basically giving free reign to Christians to continue expressing their religion because their practices are "normal".

Ah yes, Japan.

The politics of Italy, the UK, France, Germany, Hungary, and others all seem close to or worse than the current state of American politics. The only difference is that the US wields a lot more global influence and has no neighbors powerful enough to keep it in check (sorry Canada and Mexico, I still love you). Europe is not doing enough to prevent the spread of its own far-right/neofascist groups and the inevitable erosion of human rights.

Unfortunately there's no easy answer, and it depends on what kind and how well you do with it

I work in IT as a sysadmin for a nonprofit, and there's a lot of variety which makes it difficult to predict what a normal day will be like, but it keeps the days from feeling too repetitive. But I know that sort of unpredictability is not for everyone, and a lot of folks prefer a more routine experience.

Similarly, there are some IT jobs which require you to work on site, and others that allow you to be fully remote. Whichever is preferable will likewise vary from person to person.

Be open to new challenges, but also don't feel like you need to compromise your priorities just for the income. And most importantly, be good at whatever you want to do, or else every day can be like sitting under the sword of Damocles.

I was able to comment in these threads from my PC via the Alexandrite frontend, but attempting to view those comments via Sync displays "Could not load post" with an option to Retry, which does not succeed.

Post 1 appears visible when opening the community, but opening the post displays the same error. Post 2 (the sh.itjust.works link which is posted on a lemmy.world community) the post does not appear in the community at all in Sync.

Confirmed that these communities/users are not blocked on my account, and no filters set within the app should apply to these posts either.

Lot of helpful advice in a beautifully formatted checklist. Don't forget to make a copy if you want to use this for yourself!

 

Aorzia has gotten a bit stale lately, hasn't it?

 

When Samsung last updated One UI several months ago, myself and many other Samsung users (and Pixel users on Android 14 as well, judging by the replies) encountered a bug where swiping posts closed showed only a black background until fully closed, after which the content one would expect to see would appear.

Last night, One UI updated to 6.1 on my device, and when I used Sync this morning, I noticed that the black background bug is no longer happening.

!Unfortunately I now need to re-learn my navigation gestures because Samsung apparently thinks it's fine to force people to completely re-learn how they navigate their phone overnight...!<

Seen on a comment today, this user with an Arabic username, written right to left, is rendered in between the points value and label text in Sync, rather than to the left of the value as expected.

As one of the (probably few) FFXIV players who actually has access to an Xbox Series X, it is a bit disappointing that there is no way to participate in the beta.

Hope the people who have an Xbox and are interested in FFXIV but didn't pick it up yet for any other platform enjoy the beta. All 10 of them.

 

From the Fanfest keynote, the 6.55 update will come with a full 24-hour downtime while they work on replacing the JP server infrastructure.
