White person (UK) here. Honestly, you’re overestimating a lot of us.

My own mother will just add curry powder, veg, and chicken chunks to a pot of chicken stock and call that curry. It is an abomination. I haven’t eaten it in years and it haunts my nightmares still.

I love raisins in my curries because they actually add depth of flavour but when they’re in something like granola, you just know it’s filler. Also it ruins the texture if it’s in something crunchy because of the sudden squidge and I hate how these little fuckers get stuck in my teeth when they’re dry.

Sorry, I think this post unleashed years of raisin resentment. But yeah I completely agree that people who don’t like them in curries or other savoury dishes are missing out because that slight sweetness is wonderful.

I’d say the American one because as a British person, I haven’t sung ours once in my entire life but Americans seem to sing theirs for everything.

Hate her, but can’t disagree that the two-child benefit cap is fucking awful for families that need the help. Those kids don’t deserve to be punished for being born. Something, something, broken clock.

Note: I do not have or want children, I just have empathy for them because I grew up in poverty myself. I still think she’s vile.

I don’t think this is what the smart people meant when they said neuroplasticity is a good thing…

If you’re in the UK, Dualit kettles have repairable heat elements and are built to last. Don’t think they have an international version sadly.

Hope they enjoy getting their faces eaten!

I mean, the bar is on the ground at this point at best.

It was a painful process, having my love of Pokémon games slowly stripped away until I finally gave up on them. It’s hard giving up on something that you’ve loved from childhood. Pokémon used to be my comfort game and it’s now unplayable trash.

The only reason I still have my Switch at all right now is the Zelda franchise because I currently lack the means to emulate. And the occasional sale item from the eShop because I’m not paying full price for a Switch game ever again after they ruined Pokémon.

I’m surprised no one’s brought up the hellscape we know as the Nintendo eShop. It’s >90% trash.
