Dr_Amazing posted:Is the whole Jenner thing really that big a deal outside of the internet? I literally never heard of Bruce Jenner and my first exposure was when she was on the cover of a magazine. 99% of what I've seen regarding it was people on social media complaining about that hero award she won. My boss lives in Malibu, often complains of Kardashian encounters, and the day of the Vanity Fair cover was a miserable day at work. "I don't care if he does it I just don't want to be forced to see it  So, basically, five rich trust fund kids care.

Does anybody else think Kyle's award and ride with Jenner should have been at the end of last episode? Would have cut some fat and redeemed it. They still could have shoehorned her into this one. Also, that's totally Trump, even though a mass exodus from the Harper government would be totally justified.

The meat is raw-ish at bd's, right? There's an independent Mongolian bbq I go to sometimes, but their meat is all shaved and frozen and I've never gotten sick there. I actually lived off that stuff for a term when I had night classes. I thought bd's was a midwest thing. Anyway, no, I was talking about the City Wok from the Denver airport that was linked to on this page.

I haven't eaten there, but I remember the admin at South Park Studios 12 or 13 years ago posting how much Trey loved the place and would go to the one in Sherman Oaks. Since then a new admin has taken over, and the Sherman Oaks City Wok is long gone. Sure, it's now in Studio City

 CtPaTown was authentic from start to finish, complete with a strip mall featuring a Ralph's and Rite Aid with overpriced studio apartments lining the way back to the 101. It took coming here to remember that I looked for an apartment in this neighborhood when I moved to LA. It would have cost more than my current place for half the square footage and ... ... carpeted flooring   Authenticity.  Apologies for the city photography, by the way. I was using my phone and actually slightly hungry. When we sat down, we were greeted by a pretty young white girl. She explained that her job interview involved the manager asking her about South Park and explaining that Matt and Trey actually did come to eat here when they lived in California, so that much made sense. She had a great sense of humor about the city nature of everything, and as my friend and I looked about the place, it was obvious that just about everybody there was eating for the sense of irony.  You know a selfie when you see it, right? There was also a Chinese family eating behind us, and the Mandarin we overheard confirmed the ridiculous nature of things. At this point I'd recommend googling the Buzzfeed video of Chinese people eating Panda Express, because it's not dissimilar. I will make no apologies for demanding hot and sour soup, since I'm kind of a sucker for the stuff, but when I look at this photo next to the CtPaTown ad, it looks disturbingly similar.  Okay, okay, here are choice bits of menu:   And without further ado: Mongolian Beef (it was tasty!)  Firecracker Chicken (it was okay!)  And. Of course. CITY BEEF.  (again, apologies for photo quality) It was crispy and deep fried and nommy, but you gotta hand it to them, when you isolate a single piece of it...  ... ...it looks city. So, clearly, between the two of us, we couldn't finish all that.  And the takeout boxes are a stark reminder of the one-child policy.  So there you have it. Decide for yourself whether I'm going to be sick today, and refer to s01e04 "Death" if you need a clearer mental image. I honestly can't complain. It did what it said on the tin. My only regret is not having inquired about the Kale of the Day.

I agree, as a bachelor Trader Joes frozen food is awesome, as well as a few other things they have that mean I don't have to spend a half hour cooking for myself (so ronery). I also like their booze and cheese selections; they genuinely have good stuff for half of what you'd pay at Whole Foods. Seriously, 2-3 bucks for a meal is reasonable.

Nichael posted:Yeah, "organic" is kind of nonsense and not really based in any scientific research. And free range meat is pretty ridiculous to me, because as a vegetarian, I figure if you care about animal welfare, just don't eat them. Like I said in my previous post, it really is unnerving how willing stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are in pushing an irrational and unscientific agenda that is masked in "liberalism". This was covered well though in the gluten episode last year. And speaking of that, was Randy's beer in the beginning of the episode gluten free? It seems like the South Park's newfound continuity is restricted to just within the season, and not necessarily from season to season. I do think that PBR was indeed gluten-free, but you're missing the point. Whole Foods is indeed bullshit. They sell homeopathy as a science and organic turnips as a religion. Yoga bunnies posing as kept women in Santa Monica and Aspen do it, but nobody else should bother. Trader Joes does fall victim to some of that imagery, but does in fact sell good food for pretty cheap; one just needs to be discerning. So, go there for poo poo like frozen food and wine and... please tell me I'm not the only person who digs dill popcorn and inca nuts, because that poo poo rules (and is still affordable). What I'm saying is, taking any vaguely off-kilter natural-branded grocer and pelting them with the Whole Foods garbage is just as bad as saying Kroger is killing migrant workers in Qatar. Go ahead and be critical, but be careful of going too far in the other direction. Basically, screw your drat head on before you go grocery shopping.

Ack, sorry for doubleposting but-Sir Lemming posted:I don't drive myself crazy over it, but I do think healthier animals yield better/healthier food. Seems logical enough. Solice Kirsk posted:Nah, meat tastes like meat. I disagree completely. Meat is the one place where I will come out and say that going organic makes a gigantic difference. Unlike fruits and veggies where, oh look, they're smaller and a slightly different color and oh is that a worm?, meat looks and tastes distinctly different when it's organic. I can't afford to do it very often, but when I can treat myself to organic meat I don't feel even remotely bad about it, and I miss living in a situation where there was an independent, organic farm shop just down the road (and for those of you in Ontario, Rowe Farms is the best). With veg, I will advocate for GMO because we simply need it to get the yield necessary to feed everybody at a reasonable cost. To that end, I can understand factory farming, even though it makes me sad. But where possible, getting organic meat is absolutely and completely worth it, on all levels.

VagueRant posted:I thought this was the jokesiest episode of the season so far. Cartman crying, Steven Seagal stuff, Randy at Whole Foods, I thought that was all pretty good. Oh and Kyle taking the detention - loved that. The reality personification was bizarre, but the Broadway musical number was also bizarre. Weakest part of the episode, but the visceral, public death of Reality was so strange and ironic and on the nose, I don't even know what to make of it. It almost just felt like M&T going crazy ala the last minute or so of Don Hertzfeld going crazy in Rejected. That said though, the internet abuse kind of is reality. Letting people hide behind their computers allows them to speak their minds without fears of repercussion, right? If the point is that a morbidly obese person can't post a topless picture and call themselves sexy without getting made fun of, I have to agree because it's dumbfuck behavior and deserves to be mocked.

Sir Lemming posted:Or it was just continuity for continuity's sake. It's hard to tell because they only gave it one brief mention. Certainly didn't really explore the issue at all. Kyle giving Cartman explicit grief for avoiding negative reviews of himself on the very website where he lords the threat of negative reviews in order to get free/more food would have been unfunny and bad.

The only time I've ever felt bad about rejecting the donation was at Petco. Then again, my mom actively deals with feral kitties by hand, and the only pets I've ever had are rescues. Also, my current rescue kitty is a fatass. The owner who abandoned her last basically demanded that I feed her the organic dry food that's basically only available at Petco, but I took her in to the clinic last week and the vet prescribed her a wet food diet so I get to grab her poo poo at Food 4 Less along with my own. ... I'm not sure if I should be in Pet Island right now. Is Pet Island a safe space? Will you guys quote me and post shame me in this thread?!
