Congratulations on figuring out a way to be a snide rear end in a top hat about eating at a restaurant, unlike those hipsters and semi-intellectuals, I guess

Thanks, I take pride in the fact that I'm angry about the fact that the place I grew up in was gentrified and was consumed by the most boring people you'll ever find on the face of the earth.

The one in my college town is run by immigrants, and the only college kids to ever be seen there are the ones sitting at the tables outside smoking the hookahs, the food is actually way too Indian and Persian (the two guys who run the place are such respectively) for boring white college kids to ever eat, it's actually surprisingly authentic, and because hipsters and college semi-intellectuals only ever eat fake-authentic, it doesn't fully work out, so normally the only people eating inside the place (with only shin high seats, large round tables, and cushions everywhere in dim lighting) are old people, exchange students and residents from the Middle East, and people like me who know the owners' kids and go there by association.

It's actually a really awesome restaurant.

Please tell us more about the difference between authentic and fake-authentic and why semi-intellectuals prefer the latter?

Fake authentic is food that generally has some veneer of the cuisine that it's inspired from, not your misappropriated Chinese food, but more like an Italian restaurant that has some disingenuous claim to represent Italian food but carries none of the cuisine's culture. It happens very often in gentrified areas because the quaintness of the area that inspired the deferred development in the first place is integral to actually attracting moderately well off people (middle class whites). Semi-intellectuals is your average college aged kid who understands some length of what he or she is engaging in (the food or culture), but has no awareness of his or her place in it, in other words, they have no idea that they're boring idiots that hosed up my town and turned it into an overdeveloped shithole that all of a sudden has absolutely nothing to do at night and is crawling with people that will barely stay more than three or four years but leave their unattended trail of garbage behind them.
See? There's an actual purpose to being incensed about these things, they rampage through places with actual depth and history to them and leave them empty of anything other than the next dime-store east-coast city clone.

I get it man. Every year you get a year older, but the college kids, they never age. Year on year they're replaced, static and perfect in the full bloom of youth, while you sag and wilt. Look at them, thinking they're smart when they're only semi-intellectual. They even think they're eating authentic food when obviously they're not.

No you don't, they know they aren't eating authentic and that they prefer not to and they'll understand, to some extent, the culture and cuisine, but that's the point, businesses that have an important place here, have and continued to close down because the fact that this University gets progressively more expensive and more often than not the residential areas around the college are taken up more by the same sort of people.
It's the systematic dilution of anything that's any fun, it's also a pain in the rear end to see all the places you loved as a kid get blown over by another Chipotle and fake Burger Diner. People love seeing the smaller more obtuse restaurants around them, but they don't actually want to eat there, people that have lived here for all, or a great portion of their lifetime, do. The new people want the flavor, but they don't actually want to engage in it.
This isn't a new concept, it's something that happens and has happened across the country and people bitch about it nonstop, this is no different.

We need a version of :words: that adequately conveys "rambling on about poo poo that is tremendously important to me, but is of literally zero interest to anybody else".

It's not the college kids running the mom and pop restaurants out of business, it's a society where restaurants are increasingly becoming a staple of people's diets, and familiarity with basic cooking is diminishing, resulting in a greater desire for consistency and familiarity, which a corporate brand can deliver much easier than an independent establishment.

But hipsters are the people who specifically go to "mom and pop" type local not-a-chain places specifically because they're not chains... I can see just boring mainstreamers messing up a place with chipotles though, that does suck.

Being a trendy, happening, and hip person I was watching some anime earlier. Out of interest I went on the show's facebook page where they occasionally post fan art. This one popped anyway and the content as well as the two responses there are quite :smith: The girl is 15.

Apart from the upskirt her torso is really loving bizarre.

Did the cleverly named Julian Azzange justify himself as an answer to another comment or does he just feel a completely spontaneous need to justify his attraction to a 15 year old character ?

He was responding to someone who said "She's 14 wtf?". His assertion that age is entirely irrelevant for an animated character is what gets me.

Oh yeah don't get me wrong I totally agree. I was just hoping that he inherently knew that it was wrong and that that had led him to justify himself without actually getting called out on it first.
