Well in that case, if a religious person accuses you that you hate their god, it’s still not true. Because that religious person thinks of their god as a real entity, while you hate their concept of god. The target of that hate is not the same.

That’s as may be, but that’s not the word that was used in the meme.

No atheist hates god. How can you hate something you don’t think exists?

Eine Blitz is in der Flachmatuche. Will haben Pflichtmitten und der Heinerblatzen.

This. Exactly this.

Trying to be what others consider desirable or normal is really just a kind of lack of strength in your own personality. True strength is when you can be yourself, don’t pretend and simply live the way you want to be. Your friends will be true friends because they will know you without pretense. Anyone who doesn’t find you attractive in this way is the wrong partner.

Even if the judiciary system in your country doesn’t do its work, people taking justice in their own hands is a fundamentally bad thing for a society. I don’t pity predators if they get what they deserve, but I pity the society that suddenly has to define boundaries - where do you draw the line? Not all cases are clear cut. Not everyone operates on the same set of morals.

Example: Religious zealots really do believe that abortions kill children. If society doesn’t categorically forbid people to take justice into their own hands but goes “well, in this case, we can all understand”, you will have other people acting in ways they perceive as equally justifiable. And then abortion doctors get murdered.

The users who downvoted me don’t seem to have this understanding, they would rather have revenge. If you people don’t understand that self-justice will ultimately lead to a more violent society, then go ahead, downvote me again. You’re the reason your country isn’t a more civilized place, wherever you live.

Is that really the only problem you see with people taking justice into their own hands? Less oversight?

Very nice! Yes, it’s definitely missing gochujang and sauce. Mine usually clings to the pasta and looks pretty similar to a tomato based sauce. I also use less furikake, you went all in on it there. Try making the sauce so it has a really solid red sauce base which covers the mince. Other than that - really happy that you liked it! PS: If you’re looking for that little something extra, I have a spicy buldak sauce at home, the one from the famous super hot instant buldak ramen. That gives the dish an extra kick if you can handle the heat. :)

I once cooked this as a student about 20 years ago, because I was broke and had no other ingredients at hand than mince, gochujang and pasta. Liked it so much that I refined the recipe over the years and I’ve probably made it dozens of times since then. I honestly can’t decide which I like better, real bolognese or this. Hope you enjoy it as well. :)

Here’s a recipe (1 large serving):

• 250g spaghetti
• 250g minced beef
• 1 small onion
• 1 table spoon of gochujang, more if you like spicier (you can always add more during tasting)
• 1 table spoon of dark soy sauce (Kikkoman is great)
• 1 tea spoon of oyster sauce (Lee Kum Kee Premium is my favorite)
• 2 cloves of garlic (more if you don’t plan to go out)
• toasted sesame seed oil
• sugar to taste
• 1/4 cup of corn starch / water mixture (containing max. 1 tsp. corn starch)
• (optional) 1 tsp. furikake (Japanese seaweed / sesame seed mix)

Put spaghetti into boiling water. Chop the onion into small pieces. Stir fry mince and onion until done. Scoop out excess fat now if necessary. Add slurry and gochujang. Cook until nice, thicc consistency. Add crushed garlic. Add oyster sauce and soy sauce. Add sugar to taste (and more gochujang if needed). When done, mix with a splash of toasted sesame seed oil. Whenever you feel your sauce needs to be thinned a little, just use a bit of the pasta water. And if you didn’t waste any time, your spaghetti should be done right at this moment. Add sauce to pasta, maybe sprinkle a little bit of furikake on top, dig in.

I make a kind of Korean “bolognese” using gochujang and put it on spaghetti, so who am I to judge.

I happily pay for software. ONCE. I have no idea if this software will be regularly updated and if there will be new features. How do we know the developer won’t abandon the project? And it’s a lone developer, apparently. Ever heard of the bus factor? Give me a license that enables me to use the product in its current form indefinitely, and I might consider buying it. But a subscription? No thanks. Who does this guy think he is, frickin Adobe?

Good software, but subscription plans are a deal breaker for me.

I’m lucky enough to live in Europe where Chartreuse is still pretty easy to get. Plenty of online shops to order from, about 45 € a bottle.

I really do like Velvet Falernum. It’s great in a Chartreuse Swizzle, which currently is my favorite drink:

• 1 oz pineapple juice
• ¾ oz lime juice
• 1 ½ oz green Chartreuse
• ½ oz Velvet Falernum
