That is interesting. I’ve always associated Basmati rice with India, yet the term “rice” when used with computers, came from “rice bois” in the car world many, many years ago.
These were traditionally young Japanese men, who did up their cars to look amazingly fancy, but underneath they weren’t capable at all.
So they were all show and no go so to speak.
I guess just recently in the politically correct world, that I saw born here on Lemny in real time, the term rice is not appropriate anymore, because it’s associated with racism.
I hope that little history lesson helps you see the root of the term rice, and why it is intriguing to me, to see Basmati used here, as the term changes, and morphs through time.
I’m not American. This is literally the history of “ricing”. You might not like it, as yes, it is racist, but, if you research, you’ll see it’s what it is. Facts are facts.
You’re the one who made the claim so the onus is on you to provide a source. That’s literally the most basic thing a person learns in academia. You can’t claim that “facts are facts” without providing proof of those facts.
Furthermore, you can hold Americocentric views without being American. That’s the whole purpose behind American cultural exports.
Just read it. That is a very bad source. It does the same thing you did and just made unverified claims with no actual evidence. It also makes leaps in logic (e.g. “The word was meant to convey, at that time, the inferiority of Asian products to European products. By extension, Asians are also inferior to Europeans.”) It makes no mention of “rice boys” and so can’t support that claim either. In fact, while I’ve been doing your due diligence for the last hour, I haven’t found an appropriate historical source for any of this. Not on Google Scholar, not on Google proper, nor in my university’s library. The closest thing I’ve found for “rice boy” in particular is the dubious book of definitions that Wikipedia is using as a source for that claim. And the closest thing I’m finding for racist connotations of “rice burner” is from the book Far Eastern Tour which outlines its use in Korea by Canadians in reference to Korean support troops. Of course, the Oxford Dictionary has some information concerning the American etymology, but it is paywalled so I can’t access it.
And how dare you accuse me of rewriting history when you won’t make the slightest effort to research it yourself. What a shameful display of hypocrisy.
Listen, I’m old. I lived it. I saw it happen,and I’ve seen how it’s transitioned. That’s all I need.
People can jump up and down and around and demand sources all they like but when I’ve seen heard it with my own eyes and ears, hung out with car guys, experienced that old culture, seeing the world transition and progress to become less racist and a better place, than I am happy with the facts and the truth as I saw it and as I lived.
Do whatever it is that you think you’re needing from all of this. If it makes it all better for you then I guess that’s important for you and you keep living that life.
I prefer to believe the IRS has a physical memes folder for this kind of shit which is now several storage rooms-worth of filing cabinets large. I hope one day they’ll start releasing a decade of insanity at a time, and that Netflix will pick it up to make a Tim Robinson sketch show out of.
I don’t think serial killers are scarier than sharks. I can see myself surviving an encounter with a serial killer. I cannot see myself surviving an encounter with a goddamn shark.
No no, humans are meant to eat an entire horse in one sitting. Haven’t you heard the phrase “I’m so hungry I could brutally slaughter a large animal that loves you, and eat it’s corpse”?
Tony hawk gazes upon the mountains before him. The pale mountains of Switzerland, in the multilingual country of Switzerland, located near the center of Europe. The peaks before him, Swiss mountains of the country of Switzerland in a region predominantly speaking German, beckoned him. He loaded his skateboard underneath his arm and ambled toward the mass of earth that he would make his.
The journey was long and rife with Italian and German-speaking Swiss pointing out his appearance, but he broke free of their eyes and ankles and climbed to the summit. As he slid the skateboard out from beneath his sensuous arm, he awakened. In one fluid motion, he dropped and mounted the board, riding down the mountain like a man in fire, breaking the language barrier as he shrieked affirmations of his identity in hypoxic confusion. Each of his limbs were found in separate lingual regions, leading the world to posthumously dub him “Switzerland’s Exodia.”
Judging by the size of thumb and depth of bowl, that is easily just one can of food.
Maybe a 5 or 5.5oz can, but a lot of cat food comes in 3oz cans too. Some have you add water which can add to the bulk of food.
So with perspective and me trying to remember my misguided private sector years in pet food retail… that may not be an immense amount of food for a cat, especially a younger more active cat.
Very well might be with your standard grocery store canned food, and especially with some of those formulated vet foods. But there’s a lot of those high moisture diets that can grt you there. Especially with raw formulas and kitten formulas.
And that guy seems like he might still be under a year.
I think it’s a perspective thing. That bowl is smaller than it looks, considering the fingers for scale and the bowl is pretty flat. I bet that’s about one small can of wet food.
They will absolutely care about your plates. They usually check for valid registration and stuff here too, and anything else. You don’t really get on a military base without being identified.
I…still cannot wrap my head around the fear of death. If you’re dead, that’s it, done, your warranty is void and all that. What to fear?
I fear consequences of my death - shit people close to me will be put through. But death itself? It’s like fearing time. Shit’s just there, always was, always will be, touches all of us and nobody can do shit bout it.
It’s almost certainly ai. Ai image models usually contain nudity but that’s as taboo as it gets, they never have stuff like feces, vomit or gore in there. It looks like the ai substituted a grain or powder when asked to make vomit.
Prompts like that get you things like a person pooping out wooden logs. Close but not poop. I tried to get a ai image of a gas station bathroom someone destroyed with feces everywhere. I got a bathroom filled with wooden logs.
Plus the bizarre squiggle sign above the wall of items or the items that seem to blend together.
Security cam footage is a good fit for AI because it blurs the details, but it can’t fix the simple fact that it cannot make a sensible output and cannot fix it without understanding context, which is the domain of general intelligence.
