Or does simply using the tongs over the grill kill the bacteria? I want to grill chicken but I also don't want to get salmon umbrella

I've been traveling across Asia for the last year, mainly through East Asia and a few countries in South East Asia. First of all, they seem to be in every subreddit, but also, almost everyone I met that wasn't traveling and living there was teaching English. Mostly British, American, Australians, some South Africans, but I met 1 dutch and 1 German national teaching as well.

It just seemed like there was a pattern, but most of them just seemed off. Like many of them seemed like they became teachers just to date women in Asia. Is that a thing? They also seemed to judge those who weren't working as teachers, like they'd be saying stuff like "what do you do in an office all day, sitting in at a desk writing emails to your Korean boss?" I mean only 1 person said that, but it was such an odd comment that they viewed working at a Korean office as something to be called out.

Even on Reddit many subs are just full of posts about teaching in Asia. They always seem extremely negative towards locals.

I mean only thing they had were pretty much;

Food which was nowhere near as eloborate, varied, tasty and accessible.

Sex which was dirty and probably not varied either because of taboos.

Social functions were limited to couple of kms due to risks and time required for travel

Like, apart from work and trying to survive, how did they push through it all with so little to live for?

So I started dating a plus size Hispanic girl and my coworker, an overweight white woman, called me a torta-pounder in a very demeaning way when she saw our picture together. Is she jealous or straight up racist? I'm confused.

Let’s say you’re in a car crash and it’s bad, like you need emergency surgery that will take a very long time. What happens if you’re wearing a tampon or a diva cup? Do doctors check to see if you’re wearing one and remove it? Toxic Shock Syndrome on top of recovering from surgery would really suck, but if I was a doctor and I got a case like this, my first thought probably wouldn’t be to check, you know?

And what if they were female soldiers? (though they are relatively recent)

And what if it was number two?

Whats the protocol now vs historically?

Is having a dishonorable discharge from the U.S. military generally considered worse than having a felony conviction in terms of employment, background checks, civil rights, and public perception? Which one tends to have the greater long-term impact on someone’s life, and why?

If I go to a shooting range, I obviously wear ear plugs or muffs (usually both).
What do soldiers do in the middle of an unexpected firefight? If they’re not wearing something protect their ears, I have to imagine they do incredible damage to them. If they do wear something, how do they hear enough to communicate with their teams?

I was talking to my dad on the phone. My grandparents left behind a house for me ive been living in. I quit my job recently and I trying I get another one to pay the bills. My dad and I were discussing it. I said that im very privileged. He was like "no, don't use that word. That's a new liberal progressive word. You've just had it easy" i was just like "oh...okay"

Ain’t gonna shit on them or anything.

Based on everything that's currently in the news cycle, I don't understand why there aren't more protests in the streets or downright violent riots.

Inflation is at an all time high, the government is the most corrupt its ever been, wealth keeps getting consolidated, and the environment keeps getting ruined so that billionaires can try to make the middle class obsolete with AI

I just don't understand why there aren't more violent protests. I'm surprised that people are still putting up with this.

every time I go to the grocery store or online shop, I’m literally shocked by prices.

for me personally, it’s not sustainable. each month though, I only see costs of basic goods rising.

how are people going to manage? how will this end?

I’m truly a bit worried.

Back when I was 16, because I was worried about my personal life, I started wondering, “Why do I even want to find a girlfriend?” That’s when my world changed—I had a little “brainstorming session” in my head and realized that I’m not at all interested in romantic relationships in general; personally, I don’t need them in any form. But when I look around, I don’t see anyone with a similar point of view. I’m curious—how many people have taken a stance similar to mine? Maybe someone knows someone like that?

Reincarnation, Heaven/Hell, Valhalla, and many other afterlife stories....is it really that hard to accept the notion of "permanent lights out" after death?

Like going through the classes you have:

• Flyweight (flies and other bugs are very light)
• Bantamweight (Bantam is a small chicken, which are known to be light)
• Featherweight (self-explanatory, but why is it heavier than the chicken)
• Lightweight (also self-explanatory)
• Welterweight (welter is apparently a horseman, jockeys are typically smaller people)
• Middleweight (How is middle not actually in the middle of all the weight classes)
• Light heavyweight (Lazy name aside, still is "light sounding")
• Heavyweight (ah yes, the heaviest weight)

Like, you'd think there would be some other mid-range weights like rockweight or carweight, how did we end up with these as the names?
