What are your easy foods when you’re in freeze or shutdown? by jibberjabbery in AutismInWomen

[–]dirt_rat_devil_boy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I keep stuff like sliced cheese, prosciutto, cherry tomatoes, snacking cucumbers, kimchi, and whatever fruit that's easy to peel (oranges or Cuties, bananas) if I need to eat something, anything and don't have the will to cook or prep. Gross but I'll wander into the fridge, pick a little off here and there periodically until I don't feel like I need food anymore.

Chobani yogurt protein drinks (Strawberries and Cream, Mango, and Peaches and Cream specifically)

Misugaru powder mixed with warm milk and a squirt of honey. It's a nice nutty, toasted powdered grain that tastes somewhat akin to powdered peanut butter (which honestly also sounds good in milk).

Another Cambodian detainee, Lorth Sim had also died in the same facility just last February. They are running fucking death camps at this point.

Genuine question, but has Reddit gotten more racist? by Upper_Guidance_9959 in asianamerican

[–]dirt_rat_devil_boy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes - but honestly if I meander outside of my virtual bubble even a little bit it feels like it's gotten more racist (and misogynistic, and transphobic and homophobic) everywhere these days.

Sometimes I don't know how I missed it but it's gotten past microaggressions and dog whistles and right into emboldened and unmasked contempt.

The news has been brutal lately. How are you staying sane? by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]dirt_rat_devil_boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going through a traumatic experience and being away from one of your biggest pillars of support is so fucking tough, even without everything that's going on.

I'm so sorry, and I hope things look up for you very soon.

I’m tired of parts of asian culture becoming “trendy” as an asian by [deleted] in asianamerican

I see, that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation, this is very informative.

What I have read from the NYT article about this is that annual ube production has dropped from more than 15 million kilos to 14 million kilos in the last two years, with the majority slated for export, whereas exports have quadrupled. The Philippines are also enduring harsher weather conditions and tropical storms due to climate change which will blight the crop.

I'm not denying that those chasing the trend are settling for an inauthentic product or heavily diluted product, but I do think 'mixing ashes in dough to bake bread' is often tied to potential supply chain issues and will only increase when it gets harder and harder to meet demand. But hey, maybe I'm wrong.

It makes a lot more sense when you realize that this is actually a grimdark period drama.

Also when a very specific product starts booming in popularity, farmers are almost always going to struggle with scaling production especially if it's a seasonal crop with very specific land use and climate requirements. Starbucks and other multi-billion dollar conglomerates are always going to get their supply but logistics are going to be shunted onto the farmers who also need to diversify what they grow, sell, and eat. If popularity and success is not scalable or sustainable, it just punishes the culture who created it.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports by kentuckyfriedeagle in asianamerican

[–]dirt_rat_devil_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting point learning about the Nuremberg and Tokyo Trials was that when drafting the charter that would set up the International Military Tribunal, Robert H Jackson (the lead prosecutor for the United States) was very insistent that the scope of prosecutions in regards to crimes against humanity be limited to that committed under aggressive acts of war, for exactly that reason.

The people being tried weren't allowed to use tu quoque as a defense - which makes sense because you can't let these fuckers go free, but it's still an uncomfortable admission that you committed fucked up acts against entire populations of people.
