Here is an archive of his old website, which he has now deleted, I wonder why.
I can't be bothered to search for the clips themselves, as I really don't want to hear him talk anymore. But I remember a plethora of yt shorts were he described this one easy way to make money...
Out of context? Mate I'm not basing my reasoning on a bbc interview I haven't watched to begin with...
I have two objections to this, although I'm not the biggest fan of cooking manga (I don't really seek it out), first about unknown taste and second about mixed taste. Both are kind of interconnected.
This unexpectedly ended being kind of a large answer.
So for unknown taste, I might not know how a dragon tastes, BUT, I also don't know how a turtle tastes. But I can enjoy reading a cooking manga where they cook a turtle into a soup and I even kind lf imagine how it tastes like. There are also many descriptors yhat are vaguely useful, like sour, tender, etc that coupled with the image hives a rough idea regardless of how wrong it may be in actuality.
Second is when they make their fantasy ingredients contradtable to IRL ones or a mixture of other two ingredients. It is the same as when people tell me frogs taste kind of like Chicken, if you told me a dragon had stiff meat due yo all the muscle and that it tasted kind of like a hard bird meat, I would completely believe it and wouldn't detract , now if it says it tasted like a gorilla we come back to completely unknown flavours and imagination has to do some heavy lifting.
At the end if the day I think we can appreciate some of the beauty in fantasy food, taking heavy inspiration on IRL dishes but with twists that sound delishious.
While making this point I was constantly thinking about dungeon meshi and toriko, the first utilizes fantasy tropes appropriately to subvert your expectations and make unexpected but reasonable flavours out of fantasy beasts (also dome of the cooking methos are hilarious, like for the trap chest at the beginning). Then you have Toriko which used a lot of fantasy fruits that are mixed of what we have, like it's not that difficult to imagine what a caramel melon would taste like.
At the end of the day, I don't think fantasy cooking is that much worse, but the authors do need a lot more creativity to pull it off.
To finish, here is an analogy, It's kind of like fixtional sports manga (although not 1 to 1) most people wouldn't seek out reqding sport manga based on rules that were though by the author but that no one had ever played, those sports tend to have inconsistencies on rules, sometimes they aren't fun to watch, they can be unintuitive, etc. Those are inherent problems that these works face that normal sports manga don't because of the simple fact that sports have been developed across many years by a lot of people into something people enjoy, also the familiarity is an aspect that boosts enjoyment. But those being inherent problems doesn't mean fictional sports in media are bad. They do require a lot of creativity and thought, especially if the author is gonna focus on them or else you get a shitty sports like quidditch.
PD: love that more manga discussions are creeping into the community, I lowkey hate [DISC] posts being so frequent, although I fo understand the necessity to keep things alive, but most people aren't keeping up with more than a few manga and that makes it so there isn't much discussion to be had unless the community grows to a large enough point that you have people reading everything.
"Without evidence" bruh he has described using the loverboy method himself, consistently for years.
And even if you were to say he is lying (which would be a weird thing yo lie about) you do have 2 rape allegations back in the UK plus allegations in Rumania, if you go and ignore it all saying there is 0 evidence that is on you...
You might say there is no definitive evidence yet, but that is just because he hasn't gone through trial, which says nothing about culpability
Eow that suuuuree is some strong evidence that he hasn't committed any crimes
POV: you see someone who doesn't believe what Andrew Tate has said himself but is a fan
Oy, unrelated question, did you changr instances??? I can't see the posts you made yesterday. Or did you delete them/were they deleted?
Also, must say, I'm quite enjoying your posts. It feels like a mixture of bait low effort trolling with a little bit of honesty behind and I just find it hilarious, so don't stop (well of course until you get banned)
Wait how has Maatodon treated BIPOC? Is this about the users or a particular instance? Frankly I had never heard about this, I frequently use mastodon and it's really welcoming of queer people (I feel overall, but at the very least it is true comparedd with the rest of social media) so I didn't think there would be an issue with POC.

Same, that one was interesting too, I remember reading it pre pandemic and it had been in hiatus for a while. Didnt realize Ruri Dragon was on hiatus
For me its Saitou-kun wa Esper Rashii
https://anilist.co/manga/56651/Saitoukun-wa-Esper-Rashii/
It was some dumb comedy with an overconfident protagonist meeting actual espers which was so dumb funny to me, also it included a mind reader which is one of my favorite tropes in manga. It does have some of that 2000s and early 2010s ecchi which I feel has aged kind of poorly as it feel forced, at least for me. But the comedy is good, the main cast is funny and the protagonist is just really likeable in a sense.
Only problem is it lasts 26 chapters and the ending was so rushed it is nonsensical, I love this series but man when I reached the ending I was in disbelief seeing end that way.
This wasn't working, but then I realized you come from Kbin, I logged into Kbin and turns up you guys have this feature! It's not on lemmy yet.
Kbin looks so appealing, but there isn't an android app at the moment (right?) and I'm kind of growing attached to lemmy, but I probably will try to use Kbin more once I get an app for it.
