Look, I don't keep in touch with a lot of people. Of the 7 or so long term marriages, 4 of them separated before 10 years is all.[DOUBLEPOST=1440249138,1440249106][/DOUBLEPOST]I almost got it to 2 years once.

Duggar blames his infidelity and porn addiction on Satan

Dude, even in the Bible "Satan made me do it" doesn't fly. It's Adam and Eve's fault for listening, not Satan's fault for trying to trick them - that's his whole schtick. Being a good Christian isn't about not being tempted, it's about not giving in. You failed. You. Man up, accept responsibility for your own actions and your own failure, and perhaps you can do something right. "I'm sorry I'm so weak" isn't what Jesus would've done.
He had an Ashley Maddison Account as well. He is so gross.

We debated this at work yesterday and a girl I work with thinks he is being judged too harshly and that the parents dealt with the situation well. Are you kidding me?? WTF??

Depends. He considers oh so many others to be sentenced to the burning hells for all eternity, does he now truly and sincerely believe himself to be damned as well? If so, good. If not, not being judged too harshly.
 
The Duggars are so wrong on so many parts of this, I had a hard time even speaking coherently in our debate yesterday. I know that I don't know them personally or anything but my heart goes out to the girls in that family.

The worst part is in that community, his wife is going to get part of the blame. "If you had _____, he wouldn't have strayed." The best thing she can do is divorce his ass and get the hell out of Dodge, to be around healthier people.

I hate, hate, hate that reasoning. I've seen it proven false too often. No. At a certain moment and state, no matter what the fuck you were doing, he'd have done the same. Could've been rape, sexual abuse, could've been murder, could've been whatever the fucking hell you want. Either you're the type of person who contemplates such as a valid course of action, or you're not. Either you're the type of person who has no internal moral compass and doesn't rape/murder/abuse because God forbids it, or it's illegal, or you can't get away with it; or you're the type of person who doesn't do that because you know it's wrong. Obviously, mr Duggar is of the first type, and decided he could get away with it, didn't care it was illegal, and apparently didn't think eternal damnation was too high a price to pay or doesn't truly believe.

Everyone is afraid of something. That something always keeps us from doing whatever we want to do. Believing that something is moral or immoral, right or wrong, for me, is no different than believing in a god. All those things are constructions made by society. We all just agree to behave in certain way.
 
You know what would be the shortest Death Battle ever? Marvel's "Squid" vs. DC's "Squid", either version. Marvel has a guy who can copy the abilities of one of Earth's most deadliest creatures, while the other is either a crime-lord who owned a squid(worst nick-name basis- EVER) or an alien who could shoot ink out of his fingers, and in all honestly looked more like Killer Croc than anything even REMOTELY cephalopodial.

The last couple days on local TV and the weather channel - OMAHA IS IN THE EYE OF THE STORM!! TORNADOES!! HAIL THE SIZE OF VOLKSWAGENS! CATS & DOGS LIVING TOGETHER! MASS HYSTERIA!

Reality - It sprinkled a little and then moved on.
 
Someone should make a feel-good based on a true story movie on the creation of the first Final Fantasy game.

They were a company on the verge of bankruptcy, and only had one shot left.

"If this fails like I think it will I'm going back to university."

But one team of seven programmers, decided to give it there all.

"We should call it Fighting Fantasy, that way it'll have to Fs!"

"That name is taken."

If they couldn't pull it off, it really would be a-

"Oh, then how about-"

*Both at same time* Final Fantasy. *Undertitle fades in* The beginning.

And SCORES of movie goers would watch it, a good chunk will say the tale was sugar-coated ala "Jobs", but dammit if it wouldn't make some money.

And it would somehow have more interactivity than most of the modern FFs.

Ungh. Shiatsu massaging back pillow, if you had a vagina, I'd never leave the house.

Who am I kidding, I never leave the house already.

I had sushi for the first time today. Not a fan. And yes, I know there are several types. Just...not a fan.
 
My favorite thing is when they wrap it in seaweed, because then I get to enjoy the unpleasant flavor of fish while still being a vegetarian.

There are some things about meat I miss. Nasty fish taste ain't one of them.
 
Eh. To each his own. I'm a big fan of (most) sushi (I would recommend giving it a whirl somewhere else if you feel like it - the difference between a good and a bad sushi place is as big as between McDonalds and a good burger place), but for example, oysters taste like salty piss to me :p
 
I don't know enough about the names.
But I know I will happily eat avocado and rice just about any way it comes to me, with bonus points for tuna/salmon topping.

I love sushi, but agreed on oysters. I've tried them raw, cooked, steamed, etc, but they just taste like I'm chugging ocean water.
 
Big sushi fan here, which is odd because I generally don't like fish. My top picks?

California Rolls: Crab (or crab flavored white fish), cucumber, avocado. Usually made inside out (rice outside, nori wrapping the rest). You can find this pretty much everywhere and I highly suggest finding the ones with a bit of spicy mayo on top.
Alaska Rolls: It's a California roll with salmon instead of crab.
Philly Rolls: It's a California roll with salmon instead of crab and the addition of cream cheese and onion.
Dynamite Rolls: Yellowtail/prawn tempura (I prefer yellowtail), bean sprouts, carrots, avocado, cucumber, chili and spicy mayonnaise.
Kappa Maki: Cucumber, rice, nori. This is your vegetarian sushi and goes great with a bit of soy sauce or wasabi. Even better if the rice has a bit of vinegar.

Most of my picks are American/Western versions of Sushi, mostly because traditional sushi is expensive as fuck unless you're talking stuff with eel (and I don't dig meteor combos). Generally speaking, most American style sushi has avocado instead of toro (fatty cut of the fish) because toro is expensive and avocado isn't. If you don't dig the sushi completely raw, some places sell this stuff tempura style, which means the entire thing is breaded and deep fried. Don't dig the rice and nori? You can buy sashimi, which is just thinly sliced fish.
 
Grilled eel is fucking delicious and I wish I could find a good place for it around here. There's one place that has it as the eel on top of rice set but it's fucking expensive. That and Japanese curry are my favorites, but the one place here that has curry makes it too watery.

I made the curry at home once, turned out fine but it makes a ton and nobody else in the house likes it.
 
Dynamite rolls are to die for! Now I'm starving.[DOUBLEPOST=1440446063,1440445948][/DOUBLEPOST]
Raw is the best way to eat tuna or salmon.

Also. Medium Rare.
And. I sit.
I like sushi and raw salmon in it. For whatever reason, I don't like cooked fish. I can't do it. I love cooked seafood though.

I like my steak well done...I may be the only one. I also get really grossed out watching cooking shows with burgers that aren't cooked through.
 
I really wish I could find a place that sells onigiri (rice balls) or bakpau (meat buns) around here without having to drive to Marysville.[DOUBLEPOST=1440446188,1440446130][/DOUBLEPOST]
Alaska rolls are probab ly my favorite amongst the rolls :)
Generally speaking, if you've had sushi in the US, it's ether a California Roll or an Alaska Roll. Crab/White fish and Salmon are just really common here.

I'll eat all of your sushi. But I'm more of a fan of nigiri (hand-pressed rice blocks with a topping which may be fish) than maki (rolls). I won't turn down a maki, though, so bring it on.
I had nagiri (salmon) and maki (salmon). I disliked both. And the soup I got beforehand was a seaweed broth that was...uh...not so good.

And the place is called Blue Sushi and is an award winning restaurant. So it's not the place, it's me.
 
I am more of a sashimi pervert. I will get myself a small bowl,fill it with soysauce und wasabi,mix it till it is a homogenous mass and then marinate my fish in it. sooooo good.

My girlfriend prefers to eat her sushi like that too. We were at a sushi place a while ago, and one of the servers very pointedly put a little pamphlet on our table with the "dos" and "don'ts" of sushi eating...."DO NOT MIX YOUR SOY SAUCE AND WASABI" was the #1, followed by "DO NOT DUNK YOUR SUSHI IN YOUR SOY SAUCE". You heathen.


To each his or her own- she still does it too - but some purists will think you're horrible, making everything taste of wasabi and soy instead of fish and rice ;)
