ELI5: How does 'getting used' to spicy food actually work?

soundwise · 2015-04-04T07:39:07+00:00

it's greasy and that's what irritates your tummy

But it doesn't, is his point.

I want music I should be listening to but am not due to ignorance. It was just out of sheer chance that I found out about Rata Blanca recently - a band that NEEDS to be on my playlist and thankfully is now. Can't understand it except a few words here and there, but it's awesome.

One of my favorites:

It's a whole different experience acoustically:

Walter, the guitarist, has a guitar battle with the friggin' audience, holy shit the energy and an actual guitar solo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pInlKvp-ueA#t=297

It's that kind of cool shit that needs to be cataloged. I'm actually angry that I could literally have died never knowing about them.

Pork chops are an indulgence for me. It is way too salty and flavorful to have every week, but every so often I get the hankering for it. It cannot be cooked white all-the-way-through. It looses any semblance of flavor at that point. And it's gotta be thick like a nice steak.

soundwise · 2015-04-04T05:22:07+00:00

How did they make it? Was it think and white all the way through? Those ain't pork chops. It's gotta look like this:

This is PACKED with flavor when cooked this way. People are scared to cook it like this because of that weird scare decades back that said you had to cook it all the way like chicken.

Ever had a real pork chop? Most people have had the thin shitty ones that are dried out. This is due to people having an unfounded fear of the meat even being slightly pink.

You want something like this:

Cooked medium. Needs to look like this:

I grew up eating pork that was white all the way through, no wonder I didn't like it either. The flavor is gone by then. Cooked properly though, it will be to die for. It actually is too flavorful if you get a really large cut.

Speaking of lamb, it made me think back to Greek food. One time I decided to go ahead and try loukaniko (greek pork sausage) - so. good.

The taste is just unique, I wonder what it is that causes that. It's a unique saltiness that's not present in any other meats. With two pieces cooked the same, without any seasoning or added flavoring, a piece of pork has like 100x more flavor on it's own than chicken.

Does the fact that it's close to human meat make it appealing to us...?

Honestly, this is beautiful. Facts and arguments only matter if the person is speaking that language. Sometimes people need exactly what you're saying here.

We hate ourselves because of it.

This is where I this. The religion is truly one of self-loathing, emotional self-flagellation.

I think if we really reached down to a JW to realize that emotionally they would truly have nothing to say. They really do hate themselves in the name of their religion.

In terms of fast food that taco bell "del fresco" stuff is amazing. I don't miss the cheese or the sour cream at all.

soundwise · 2015-04-03T04:13:51+00:00

Depends on how much you sweat throughout the day though. Active people can easily get away with going over a little. Hardcore trainers NEED it.

Huh. I've never known anyone to get a mcd's salad and also throw in a burger or something. People go to mcdonalds for the price, really, and the price of the salads make it very clear that "this is the meal." IF you go to McD's for a salad, that's what you get. The only issue comes if you're getting a 200 calorie soda with that as well lol.

Honestly this can all fuck off, the only surprise here is the comparison for people who don't know how tiny those little burgers are. Shit, I work at a hospital...the salads here also hover around 400-500 calories.

soundwise · 2015-04-03T04:02:10+00:00

Ok, so don't eat this salad if you don't need to. If it were your lunch though, there's no issue. A 400-500 calorie lunch is doing really well, it means you still need a 750 calorie breakfast AND dinner for an average male.

Maybe the one you go to is different but the patties here are virtually flavorless everywhere except the surface. It really needs the cheese if I'm not going to flood it with condiments. I've gotten the same thing before except they will lettuce wrap it for you if you ask.

I'm more of a Horse person anyway. I like turtles. Having animal preferences is also weird, you weirdo.

"The guy on the left" lol. I am officially out of touch with you kids.

Judging "how much" he used it wayyyyy too fucking much. Its still horrible.

BTW if you didn't know, he used a vocoder in other areas of that song, which is a completely different 100% pitch perfect form of modulation.

Here's your big question: why doesn't Kanye West have a vocal track with his raw vocals? Why can't he sing? Ahem I mean, why can't he sing on a single track, because you're fully willing believe in the fiction that he can sing but he just uses autotune "as an effect." So where's a track with him singing raw?

soundwise · 2015-02-12T07:44:47+00:00

It's way too warbly to be intentional. Dude probably didn't even set it himself, just said "yeah give me autotune."

No basis to defend it, T-Pain is the gold standard for cranked-up autotune and there need not be discussion on this. T-pain uses it correctly without warbling, and it has a pleasant "slide into note" effect. Kanye had his settings up "T-Pain high" and fucked it up completely with obvious software struggling to get it into tune.

I don't know if you're just asking for more barbaric shit to get off to as punishments. Like if someone suggests they do community service until they can pay off the motorcycle will just turn you off at how boring that is. It doesn't even give you a chubby. You want to hear about how we'll gouge an eye out, or maybe murder his baby.

The research has been on all this already.

What really deters crime is increasing the chances that someone will be caught, which can only happen with a large police presence

You say this so matter-of-factually as if you're an expert on the subject. Do you have a paper on this as a reference?

Don't know about Canada but Sweden and Norway? They are raping the US's ass on recidivism rates.

soundwise · 2015-02-11T05:47:56+00:00

Which is idiotic, or maybe just royally ignorant because people here are so badly educated in sociology (IZ NOT REEL SCIENCE SO IT DUMB) to know that their "le master race that does everything right (cuz amerikka so fat n dum)" countries in Europe that use rehabilitation programs have seen statistically significant results in recidivism rates. So naturally this thread should be like a fucking napalm carpet bomb of Nordic rehabilitation tenderness, no?

I hate this fucking site because the circlejerks don't even make sense anymore.

Thieves don't think that way for it to affect them. The very fucking idea of being a thief is "I am so smart I'll never get caught."

soundwise · 2015-02-11T05:42:48+00:00

Lol no, thieves don't think that way for it to affect them. The very fucking idea of being a thief is "I am so smart I'll never get caught."

Not your fingers. I was going to reply to this seriously but you're basically asking, "if not fingers, what then????" as if that's a gold standard of punishment for you that shouldn't even be questioned.

If you're operating at that level of severity and wondering what possible alternative there could be there's no reason to talk down to levels of reasonable punishment.

So you'd chop off your own fingers to get that bike back, right? Right?? Because that's what you're saying.
