Oh Andy, the Republicans won’t think of you as “one of the good ones” and protect you from their white America policies.

Better that they know about it at 6 than grow up feeling like they’re broken inside and end up taking their own life at 16.

Yeah, not that it’s a bad curry sauce recipe (I don’t think it’s a great one though - that’s pretty western butter chicken style curry, especially with keens powder and not a traditional garam masala), but that’s not going to taste like Japanese curry at all. You’re better off getting some java/Vermont/kokumaru brand curry roux cubes and just adding some finely diced pork, sauted onion, cubed potato and carrot, and chicken stock to it. The typical Japanese curry is about 2 cups of the curry sauce to that amount of chicken/rice. Also, get rid of the broccoli and instead go with some shredded cabbage.

Just one cookbook is a great resource for Japanese recipes, although your katsu could be improved with bigger flaked panko crumbs instead of the finer style breadcrumbs.

Sonos is the apple of speakers: great hardware, but overpriced and a walled garden.

I’m confused about the single full stop. It shows they have knowledge of basic punctuation, but refuse to use it.

You’re splitting hairs here for the sake of winning an argument. There’s no practical difference between cruelty and torture to the people suffering it. “Oh and don’t worry about it, because it’s only hundreds, not thousands in this particular torture cruelty facility”.

And as far as genocide goes, you’re moving the goal posts here, but if we’re playing that game, the native Americans might have something to say about that.

I mean, going back to the original argument here, my overarching point is really that people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones and the US’s track record of authoritarianism and human rights abuses is comparable enough to make them just as untrustworthy at the most and certainly not in any position to criticise a state who is trying to manage billions of people at the least.

People aren’t tortured with an iron maiden, but when you have conditions like under trump in 2020, and the suicide rate in ice detention jumped 11 times higher than the previous 10 year average, I don’t think you can suggest ice detention is that far away from concentration camps.

Also, Gitmo isn’t for enemy combatants - they can chuck anyone suspected of terrorism in there, even US citizens. It most definitely isn’t exclusively “war crimes”.

Please outline how your personal political opinions about china are going to affect the fact that you have a Chinese toaster. I’ll wait.
