Sounds like an oppressive government that doesn’t care about its citizens! Glad i live in the United States that puts freedom and democracy first.
love to have all the infrastructure for electricity set up but only use it to impress white people
In fact, everyone in North Korea is actually a cardboard standee just like all the buildings
I never bothered to see it, but it's good to know that at minimum, my writing is on par with a movie that was actually made
It's a Seth Rogen movie and I gotta tell you that you could probably write a plot way better than that. I mean, the punchline was based around fecal comedy, for fucks sake.
Like that episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy with the cardboard city.
They're like geocentrists, devising increasingly delusional, elaborate and convoluted horseshit to explain away the gaping holes in their propaganda.
If the DPRK really was the hellhole these morons think it is, it would have collapsed years ago.
But hey, yellow man bad, amirite?
TRUST ME BRO I DID NOT LIE I WAS JUST BEING FORGETFUL BRO COME ON BRO PLEASE
Does anyone have the picture where she claims she was experiencing ice cream for the first time or something because it did not exist in the DPRK and someone called her lie out? I could have sworn I saved the whole thing but I cannot find it.
Here is some bonus gusano nonsense I had saved next to the above.
Yeah, I'd be careful with this. While it most certainly is a cheese substitute used at pizza hut (not real mozzarella), the only source I could find that discusses this is a a dairy industry paper.
Put simply, the silicone is not 'in' the cheese, and certainly not 20%. A silicone based compound is instead sprayed on the cheese by the manufacturer to prevent 'foaming'. Silicone as a compound is used in plenty of food prep, and it isn't super uncommon. What is uncommon is that there is much more of this left on the cheese than normal and the amount left (900 parts per million) is outside of FDA guidelines.
It's also worth nothing that this story was broke in 2006, and things may have changed since then (either in the guidelines or the process).
I'm all for fucking over pizza hut, but the only sites that share this stuff are beyondtopsecret and stormfront AFAIK. Let's not lump is into the same group 😉
so I definitely remember reading it somewhere more mainstream than a random dairy industry PDF but I can't find anything other than those milkweed articles. Maybe it was just a reddit post linking to this or something and I'm misremembering it. But the way I remember it, it wasn't the Polydimethylsiloxane thing, it was anti-caking food-grade silicone granules that were added as an anti-caking agent but because of a lack of FDA limits on how much anti-caking agent you can add they were adding a shitload and it was a legal way to use silicone to keep the cheese pull-ey at lower temps or something
but also, it was hilarious reading the response from the gigantic pizza chain cheese maker
but yeah, it does seem that article was the basis either way and it's on pretty shaky ground; but the retraction-ish article from milkweed does bring up the issues of baking polydimethylsiloxane and it creating formaldehyde which is definitely worse than just a bit of food safe silicone in cheese.
also, why is it so hard to remember random internet bullshit from over a decade ago?
also, why is it so hard to remember random internet bullshit from over a decade ago?
I call it internet brain, haha. I swear I spend more time googling my own half remembered shit nowadays than actually learning new things.
Also, that response has some real call the manager vibes, haha. I'm no fan of the dairy industry at all, but this whole milkweed thing seems like they have a beef with pizza hut. Critical support.
yeah I'm definitely thinking that the milkweed doesn't seem to be totally in the pocket of "big dairy" lol. It's kinnnnnda embarrassing that they didn't check the FDA's GRAS list before publishing claims that a giant company is using chemicals that aren't allowed in food products.... but whomst amongst us has not posted unsubstantiated and unverified shit we heard?
Today's lesson is always learn before you post. It may also be 'jist post, fuck corps'.
Jeni's splendid ice creams
There they fucking are again.

Also a tenuous Les Wexner/Epstein connection in there. 👁
What if the chuds were right but instead of (((da joos))) being the masterminds behind everything it was some ice cream company all along?
Broke: Bin Laden did 9/11
Woke: Bush did 9/11
Bespoke: Ben and Jerry's did 9/11
Wtf is it with gusanos' obsession with condoms?? Remember when every news outlet suddenly decided that a pack went for $750 in Venezuela?
And plus, if you had to use condoms as a substitute for cheese, wouldn't you just.... not try to imitate food where cheese is a key ingredient? If you needed to put condoms on pizza I don't get why you wouldn't just hold your nose and eat the condoms straight up. Nonsense.
FWIW the climate in Cuba is pretty poorly suited to apples so that part might actually be true
Except that Cuba imports fruit including apples.
There some dumb drama about Cuban employees selling 15,000 apples to a firm a few years ago.
How much apples do they import? I can't imagine a tropical island bathing in mangoes and all manner of exotic tastes would bother importing such a lame ass fruit while embargoed. Unless the apples themselves lets them create a loophole in the embargo somehow...
During one of the Super Bowls in Detroit, the town literally installed lights behind vacant towers to give visitors the impression people still lived there lol.
Yeonmi Park also said that Koreans arent taught that other races exist and also that they are the superior race
Didn't Yeonmi Park also say that mothers give birth of piles of rubble filled with broken glass and rebar because there's no hospitals or doctors or sanitary spaces in the DPRK?
yeah, and she also said that she has never seen a map of the world when she lived there, even when the intro of the state news channel has a Map of the world
And let us not for forget:
Amongst many other things.
Isn't she also the one that says the entire diet of the north consists of grass and bugs since the Kim family literally hordes anything with any kind of dietary value or some bullshit?
Nah mate, did you not know? Those are ALL actors.
If a DPRK citizen is not visibly starving and/or utterly miserable, it can only be explained by their being actors putting on a show to impress white people.
-
Actors eat well to trick foreigners
-
Everyone is an actor
-
Everyone eats well
I've solved the mystery.

I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say this is not true.
if you watch anything on the media visiting the dprk theyre always like 'ah and the people dancing in this park having a good time are clearly an op created by the north korean government. wait public dancing is common in east asia? shut up commie.'
Is this the same person who claimed that North Koreans don't know Africa exists?
As opposed to the Americans who know that Africa is a country
So much of this myth comes from the how the DPRK treats American journalists, which is to say they're tightly followed and shown around on an itinerary. Journalists are treated with the rational assumption they're either in the DPRK to make it look bad or they're CIA.
uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire
They literally kidnap North Korean citizens and then brutally torture them until they agree to be part of the anti-DPRK propaganda machine.

Little do they know that solar powered houses in the north are slowly becoming the standard as the DPRK as it shifts to becoming a more green country.

Nah bro the entirity of the DPRK is justa giant social experiment, look bro look theres the camera
