Name the fandom. And repeats, etc.

(If you think something in this thread is a troll, please ignore it! Conversation is fine, but OT wank makes stuff harder to keep track of in this thread. Thanks.)

Do you think you can please delete this reply, Case? I thought it was from a different anon, and I ended up saying rude things to the wrong person. Which is completely my bad.

Chinese restaurant syndrome was always racist bullshit, or maybe simply xenophobic if we're being charitable.

The worst you can say about MSG is that, while it is better than regular salt, it isn't as healthy as no salt. If you want a truly healthy salt substitute, the best you can get without MSG (which is fine, to be clear) is adding powdered sumac to your food post cooking. And even then that is more a lemony flavor than salt, but it is still not bad.

[(Anonymous)]

you're right and you should say it.

[(Anonymous)]

Ehhhh idk. You don't necessarily need to add literal MSG powder to everything in order to get a certain type of taste because there are several ingredients that include MSG already (soy sauce, for example).

[(Anonymous)]

It's also kinda funny because adding MSG is approximately 1 million times more achievable for the average Western home cook than wok hei is.

[(Anonymous)]

Definitely agree with you, OP. It kinda reminds me of channels that promise “authentic” recipes from another country and then they proceed to add a bunch of stuff that you wouldn’t actually find in an authentic recipe.

It may not be bad for me, but if I have MSG I get sweaty, flushed, and have significant heart palpitations. No thanks.

MSG makes everything taste more delicious.

...why is this a fandom secret?...

[dantesspirit]

Unless said Chinese restaurant is *in China, et al*, then it's not even really Chinese food, it's Americanized (or English or what have you). Same with said YouTubers.

And no, they do not add MSG to their food, unless it's already in the ingredients. That's an American palate thing.

[(Anonymous)]

I love you. Seriously. And I think homemade Chinese food tastes way, way better than restaurant food.

Me too, me too. My sister tried to get me to watch Handmaid's Tale but I just can't.

Huh, now I want to watch this in Spanish, but I actually speak Spanish, so it wouldn’t have the same effect on me.

This is only sorta related to your secret, but there are some things that I will only watch in Spanish. Like Nagatoro and Ranma 1/2 and Lilo and Stitch. They just sound better in Spanish.

I’m curious if OP enjoys other cable TV procedural mystery-of-the-week shows because I thought Elementary was an above-average example of the genre.

It was also an interesting adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes characters (much preferred to BBC Sherlock). But yeah, I didn’t find the individual plots riveting.

CGI was supposed to unleash film maker's imaginations, all it really did was document their lack of it.

piercing woes

[(Anonymous)]

i got an industrial piercing on thursday and even though i read that it takes long to heal and all i didn't really take it seriously and now i'm sitting here with my ear still hurting and being unable to use my headphones (i'll have to buy in-ears, i used my over-ears for watching the eurovision with friends and it was PAIN).

i've gotten my lip pierced three times so i thought it wouldn't be a big deal, because i am a fool. feel free to mock my hubris
