We must imagine the dishes happy.

Much appreciated! Accuracy is important

I remember watching a video somewhere that touched upon this. IIRC, whenever a Chinese immigrant came to a city in the United States with a large Chinese population, such as San Francisco, they would seek out people from their hometown and would often be directed to benevolent societies. These societies help provide means for the immigrant to start looking after themselves, by offering different professions folks can jump into. Often times that would include providing recipes for dishes they could fix up at restaurants.

I think the video was a documentary about General Tso’s chicken.

Everything everywhere all at once is easily one of my favorite movies of all time. Pays a bunch of homages to action films and tropes. One of the few times in my life where I ugly cried and laughed at the same time.

I used to call my friends “son” back in college.

I find the word Champ to be wonderfully patronizing.

“What’s got you down, Champ?”

Watermelon. Earthmelon. Firemelon. Airmelon.

Long ago, the four elemelons lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Watermelon attacked. Only the AvatarMelon Lord, master of all four elemelons, could stop them, but when the world needed it most, it vanished.

FTFY

There used to be a guy on the corner who would hold a sign up about Falun Gong and repeat “Happy, happy, happy.”

I think it might be a different translation. Should be Human, all too human: Book 6, Aphorism 303.

I found another translation from R.J. Hollingdale.

We often contradict an opinion for no other reason than that we do not like the tone in which it expressed.

Edit: I found it! It’s Kaufmann’s Portable Nietzsche Page 58 Aphorism 303.

Additional edit: It’s not word for word.

Nietzsche wrote, “We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the way in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us.” - Human, All Too Human

Might be a different translation

I’ve always understood Marx as a historian who used the perspective of resources as the lens to view history. I don’t think he was going out of his way to figure out how to get the working class to rise up.

I’ve been always a bit partial towards Herbert Marcuse, someone who I regard as part of the Marxist thought. I think his book One-Dimensional Man was a interesting read as an explanation to our modern technologically advanced society.

That is very true. I probably was not in right headspace to be recommending anything.

Not a proper recc

It kinda fits if you turn your head sideways and squint real hard. What OP is asked for is definitely not the main plotline.

Name of the wind by Patrick Rothfuss

He’s amazing on Saturday Night Live. Really leans into the acting.

I see beans. I updoot

That’s really interesting! Looks like I’ll need to look into this more.

You know it!
