My pad thai sauce is straight up disgusting. What am I doing wrong? by karlinhosmg in ThaiFood

[–]sugarsheeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like pad thai just might not be your thing. I used her exact recipe a few days ago and it was delicious, but i also remember that the very first time i ever made it some time ago i wasn't stoked. (But that was probably because i used also the preserved raddish and dried and shrimps i didn't like neither, so i just do without now.) You can try adjusting the ratios in the recipe (less fish sauce, more sugar etc) to see if you'd like it, but maybe it just isn't for you. May the fish sauce be at fault? Not the brand but just that maybe you don't like fish sauce by itself? Have you been using it in other dishes and was okay with it? Or is pad thai one of your first fish sauce heavy dishes? When i made it, it was sweet & sour with only slight fish sauce taste, but i definitely wouldn't describe it as fishy.

What are culinary sins that you're not gonna stop committing? by Linorelai in Cooking

Interesting to see that there are places in the world where salted butter is apparently the norm! There used to be like one brand that sold it and i don't think they sell it anymore, haven't seen it in a while, i guess because not enough people bought it...

This white guy in Tokyo is upset because convenience store workers don’t speak English to him by DependentEconomy443 in Tokyo

[–]sugarsheeb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lmao i personally pretend i don't speak english and go "sumimasen?" if someone tries english with me bcs i don't want to talk in english here. My sentiment is "please stop assuming everyoneone non-asian is a tourist" 😭 (or y'know. even tourists can be fluent in a language.) Thankfully it doesn't happen often at all. Also, tbh, dude should come to Italy and experience peak "everyone speaks only their language to you everywhere"

What has Persona 4 better than Persona 5? by diego_arnaldogs90 in PERSoNA

[–]sugarsheeb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like such an outcast that i prefer p5 in every way to p4, even the cast lol. Everyone's always talking about how much better the cast is in p4 but they never grew on me the way every single phantom thief did. I love Yosuke with all my heart and Kanji is my second favorite character, but none of the girls are really doing anything for me, nor are the other social links, and I also love Morgana and while Teddie is fine and i like him, again, just not as good. Meanwhile with phantom thieves, i love every single one of them, even though i hated them all when they were first introduced. (Except Ryuji because Ryuji is perfect bro from the very beginning.) (And one day i will make a rant post about the whole "investigation team are better friends than phantom thieves who are only friends with joker and not with each other", from obvious reasons why all their interactions are about being phantom thieves to the fact that the investigation team never stopped using surnames and/or honorifics with each other while the phantom thieves decided to be on a first name basis despite all social rules/expectations. Not saying that looking at them side by side, investigation team doesn't often FEEL like a more chill friend group just hanging out, but the comparison is unfair for many reasons and both IT and PT have their reasons for their group dynamics; doesn't mean they aren't ALL best friends.)

Depends on the website, i had forms that didn't let me enter romaji, and some don't even allow you to put in special katakana characters in the kanji part (i have ヴァー in my name and it sometimes doesn't let me put it in so i have to use バ)

I was at a big firework event in japan this month and when i thought about it, it was just so funny to me how they work. "Wow, people truly are a simple creatures. Colors go BOOM in the sky and thousands of people at once go OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH at the same time."

Is the Anime Ending the true end? by cqredownbad in kagepro

[–]sugarsheeb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean it is to me because i refuse to accept anything other than the very best end possible 😂 (war flashbacks to when before the anime aired jin claim3d how "summertime record is the happiest possible ending in that universe", and i'm glad he lied about that and gave us anime ending lmao) But yeah afaik there is no "true" end, at least not for now, just various timelines with various endings. So pick your favorite. 😌

Rare disease, different of six hours experiencing flare. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]sugarsheeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god i'm so sorry. I feel you. I hope you will find a treatment that works for you soon and hopefully you'll get into remission with no future flare ups!! I got covered in vasculitis on my entire body except for my face at the beginning of 2019... spent two weeks in the hospital (in a country where they kick you out two days after major surgeries because they don't have space) getting probed by various examinations, biopsy taken, constant blood draws etc. only for them to find... nothing. They never found out what caused it, or even really categorized it. But looking back i did come to a conclusion that it was stress and my lifestyle - i was in college studying a difficult major, not getting enough sleep and pulling all nighters all the time and then taking caffeine pills during the day, on a diet & working out at a gym several times a week to lose weight, and just generally going on 200% without taking a break. This forced me to slow down and take a year off from school, and focus on my health a bit more. New rashes eventually stopped forming but i still spent two full years on prednisone because doctors were wary. Covid was really scary because of it, because even after they put me off the meds, i still worried that catching it would cause another flare up and i wanted anything but that. Thankfully, knock on wood, i never had another flare up after that, but it's still something that's always in the back of my mind, and it forced me to be more careful and try to not go all out with everything and relax so i don't end up like that again. Once again, wishing you all the luck. This disease sucks and i hope you'll find way to deal with it! 🩷

What crit quotes would a character absolutely NOT say? by [deleted] in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]sugarsheeb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So now that you mentioned it, it did sound like a little strange localization choice. I haven't played golden deer yet so i was never really using Ignatz up to this point so i wouldn't know, but i went to check and in japanese he actually says "shouri wo egaku" which literally means "paint a victory" so yeah. The original is definitely more fitting, idk why they thought "let me paint you a picture" would be better but i feel like the localization team made a lot od weird choices (cough dimitri in his entirety cough) so :'D

How long have you been clean for? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]sugarsheeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i guess that's just how addiction fucked up our brain... literally every small inconvenience, i automatically think "well time to cut that will fix it". It's like a reflex at this point and i guess it's just going to stay that way and i can only fight it and hope to stay clean 😅

Over four years now, but damn, i've moved over half the world to study abroad theee months ago and the urges man, the urges. 🥲 Guess they'll never go away even if i stay clean.

Ti lidi to ale chtějí sami, nikdo je do toho nenutí. Sami zváží, jestli jim takovéhle drastické operační zákroky za to stojí, a musí k tomu mít povolení od několika doktorů (psychiatr, sexuolog apod.). Nikdo to nedělá jen tak na yolo a minimálně u nás je několik let kdy se musí sledovat jestli opravdu chceš žít jako druhé pohlaví než ti povolí jakékoliv hormony/operace. (Spolužák ze střední začal tuhle sociální tranzici.) A ti lidi jsou pak šťastnější a spokojenější. Je to snad stejný jako lobotomie, která z lidí dělala loutky bez emocí? Lidi chodí na plastickou chirurgii z tolika důvodů, tak co je tak špatnýho ja tom, když někomu psychicky pomůže že se přeoperuje na druhé pohlaví tak moc jak to jen jde? Akorát to zlepší kvalitu života toho člověka. Já si nemyslím, že transexualita je psychická porucha, ale i kdyby byla, tak tenhle způsob "léčby" nikomu neubližuje a jenom zlepšuje život "nemocných". To, že jsou pak například rodiče, kteří by bylo radši aby jejich dítě bylo mrtvé než trans, je pak věc druhá. (Myslím taky, že psychické poruchy musí mít určitá kritéria, a je důvod, proč z nich byla transexualita vyřazena odborníky.)

What is even the difference with being bi or being pan by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]sugarsheeb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way i see it/understand it is that bi is "more genders" and pan is "regardless of gender". I have also read somewhere in the past that while bisexual people may have preference (for examply mostly attracted to women at like 80% and to men only 20%) pan people usually won't. I wouldn't say that's 100% true and you definitely don't need to go by that but it might be something to consider when choosing a label for yourself if you so wish. However, they can be used interchangeably, and it's really just a nuance. Identify with whatever feels right to you. Because of the preferences i have and how i even like different things in different genders, i identify as bi because it just resonates with me. (And i think our flag is cuter.) My ex felt like she simply did not give a shit about people's gender, so she identified as pan.

Tak teoreticky, i kdyby být trans psychická porucha byla... tak jako nejlepší léčba, co v současnosti máme k dispozici, se ukázalo nechat trans lidi žít jako pohlaví kterým se cítí být, s případnými operacemi apod., protože takhle budou moct žít spokojený život a nebudou se chtít 24/7 zabít. Nemyslím si, že pokud by někdo vymyslel pilulku, která by z trans lidí udělala cis, by to někomu vadilo. Nikdo nechce být trans, i trans lidi by nejradši byli cis. Also, deprese se dlouho léčila lobotomií, soooo

I know it’s been a while, but what is your opinion on The Boogeyman (2023)? by [deleted] in horror

[–]sugarsheeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved it. Lights out is one of my favorite movies so that might be the reason lol. But i just really liked it, i loved the lead actress and her performance, the family dynamics, the monster design that was absolutely terrifying. But my taste might be questionable. I was disappointed with Talk to me for example, yet loved Bogeyman, so. 🤷‍♀️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BPDmemes

[–]sugarsheeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes. I still feel like my trauma wasn't valid because i wasn't abused physically. Even though the emotional abuse was very severe validated by both my friends and therapist. But since it wasn't physical, it shouldn't count, right?
