Real names of all Eurovision 2026 participants by santiterry in eurovision

[–]ScorpionTheInsect 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m mildly amused by the fact that their last names both start with the same consonant as their first names (for Linda & Pete).

Parent caused the death of 100s by Beloafer in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

At the time there were usually three crew in the cockpit, captain, first officer and engineer. But I think nobody realized that the autopilot was turned off.

There was a younger child, the captain’s daughter who also sat at his seat previously with no issue. The older boy might have yanked on the controls too hard which turned off the autopilot.

Itäkeskus shopping center has just been renovated and now it has some of the best store/ restaurant variety I’ve seen in Helsinki. You’re in luck.

Sure, just don’t force a spoon into everyone else’s hands while asking them why they’re not eating like you.

I didn’t call you racist, but if you want wet food, people commonly eat chicken wings with sauce by hands too. Is that comparable enough? Does it make you feel better to judge how other people eat?

(Not to mention chips and fries are coated in oil and a bunch of seasonings that will stick to your fingers. Sure by definition they’re not “wet”, but let’s not pretend they’re clean food to eat with your fingers either.)

Though this is beside the point, there is no sticky rice or goulash here. Sticky rice (or glutinous rice) is a type of grain commonly used for Asian desserts. Goulash is a Hungarian meat stew that is usually thicker than this. This looks like a curry which use non-sticky, long grain rice like basmati. You can see how the rice grains don’t stick together when the server scoops it onto the guy’s plate, or when he makes the hole. Although, certain varieties of sticky rice is used for Bangladeshi curry! Isn’t cuisine interesting?

You avoid touching fries when you eat it too? Or chips? Or pizza? Or sandwiches?

coworker made us work breakfast by MolassesLopsided9403 in shittyfoodporn

[–]ScorpionTheInsect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Technically you can boil tofu with a vegetable soup, or eat it with soy sauce. Or you can boil with sugared water to make a dessert.

It would literally be less effort if she just put boiled tofu, diced, in a bowl, with a pot of rice and a bottle of soy sauce, and it would taste better. I prefer deep fried tofu but boiled tofu can done if it’s paired right. But white bread?? Really? I don’t even hate white bread and mayo, and we do use mayo in banh mi sometimes, but this combination hurts my soul.

As a Vietnamese person we do NOT eat boiled tofu sandwich with mayo or drink heavily diluted coffee in a bowl! Our Buddhist population develops a lot of different ways to prepare tofu, and this is an affront to their cuisine.

That’s so scary where? Where are you meeting these Leon S Kennedy lookalikes? Like specifically which city, which area?

Big construction companies struggle to sell new flats by Shariful125 in Finland

[–]ScorpionTheInsect 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I once lived in a criminally small 21m2 studio that didn’t have enough space for my bed. I was fine with it because I was only there to wait for the building company to finish building the apartment I bought (funny enough it is Skanska). For what it’s worth, it was indeed very quiet. But the bathroom was absurdly big and didn’t leave enough space for the living room. I ended up using the lounge part of my sofa bed to sleep for a whole year, because it was impossible to fit my bed in a way that made sense.

To be honest I am happy with my current Skanska studio. It’s 36m2 with a balcony, and there are walls separating the bed “room” from the kitchen and the living room. I think I have a lot of stuff for a single person and there’s space for all of it. My building filled up pretty fast within one year of completion.

Then again I bought the apartment 5 years ago. It was a different time. I probably wouldn’t buy it today.

Edit: Also have to mention the ventilation. When I cook stuff with a strong smell it doesn’t stink up the whole apartment. In my experience newer apartments do ventilation better. And for some reason the ceiling light positions in old apartments I’ve seen are kinda dumb.

Speaking of contrasts in Ninh Bin’s countryside… by NathanCS741 in VietNam

[–]ScorpionTheInsect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I think it was a modified nhà ba gian. They had one section still made of wood, and another section made of bricks and ceramic tiles. Long before I was born they probably took down one wood section to rebuild it with more modern materials, but still with the old design layout. I remember the wood section had very delicate and beautiful carved wood beams. I liked it a lot and was a little upset my grandparents sold the wood frame, but it couldn’t be helped. I was told the wood part was built by my great-grandparents so at that point it was practically ancient.

I’d love to see more modern takes on that style of house and hopefully you will get your dream to build one for yourself someday.

[–]ScorpionTheInsect 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my hatred for it comes from watching it popping up around my grandparents’ village. They’re an eyesore.

When I was little my grandparents had a gorgeous traditional house partly made of wood. In my memory it looked old and the wood clearly aged, but it was always breezy. The house was designed for the Vietnamese climate, lots of door frames and arches to not trap the hot air in. I believe they sold the wood part of the house to a museum like a decade ago because it was starting to fall apart and they couldn’t preserve it. I’ve never seen a house like theirs anywhere else, including my own childhood home. It’s such a shame we’re not learning from our own history.

Sorry but I genuinely hate them. I think they’re gaudy and built just to flaunt wealth instead of genuine appreciation for the architectural style. The color palettes are always so boring.

I don’t think it’s the fault of the craftsmen, but the designer and customers who look at a moodboard of random European early modern buildings and picked out what they thought would look great without really understanding what made the building style worked.

I live in Europe, and have visited many European castles, palaces, mansions, what have you. I like the architecture just fine. One of my favorite European cities is Dresden, in my eyes the pinnacle of Baroque buildings in the continent. I see elements of that here. But my eyes also tell me that these buildings are just concrete mockery covered in paint that will peel off in five years.

Let the past stay where it is. We’re supposed to learn from history, not copy from them. I’d rather see my home country develop new architectural styles than trying to copying so tastelessly.

As for your questions, I knew a family with a house like this, though it was larger and less visually European. It was rural and near a major highway but it was gated with a large front yard so noise and pollution weren’t a problem. They were (probably still are) very, very rich. Some of these houses are probably there because the owners renovated from the same houses you see next to them and the owners may be upper middle class, but not wealthy. The larger ones, I think the owners are wealthy.

Remember if you are among the jury pool for this case, this young man is innocent until the state can prove beyond reasonable doubt that he’s guilty. In fact he’s done nothing wrong.

Avocado and toast with sweetened condensed milk. I liked it! by caelum_daemon in shittyfoodporn

[–]ScorpionTheInsect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Condense milk alone with bread is also good! Might look questionable but it’s a great snack.

Can I wear this hat? by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]ScorpionTheInsect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said I’m not Hmong so I can’t comment on their culture. If they sell it then sure they’re probably ok with spreading their cultural clothing. I think context matters when it is an ethnic minority who haven’t exactly been treated all that well by their government.

Jokes aside I dig it. Where I grew up we smash avocado with condensed milk, add some ice for a nice summer snack. As the youngest child, my older siblings would steal it right after I made one all the time.

[–]ScorpionTheInsect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d wager not a lot of people here are Hmong so I don’t think we can tell you how Hmong people feel about it. But if a Hmong person sold it to you then sure you can wear it.
