    Played a lot of the original, Melee and Brawl. Since I was a bit better at it than the people I was playing against (my brothers) I tended to rotate characters to keep it fun. I was mostly a Kirby main in the original super smash bros. I tended to prefer playing the heavier characters in Melee and Brawl as it was fun to get the kills with the really slow moves (like Bowser, King Dedede and Ganondorf).

    If I felt like winding them up I would just play as Peach or Jigglypuff.









  • Just keep away from non-stick materials if you’re worried pretty much. For pans I have two cast iron ones and a stainless steel one, they work for pretty much everything. I have a large enameled pot for large stews, a couple of glass and metal trays for the oven and otherwise just aluminium pots for things that aren’t fried (and also popcorn). I used to do the teflon and non stick ones pans for a while as my partner insisted it was necessary but I got tired of having to chuck the pan after a couple of years as it started peeling off into the food. The only non-stick one we have now is a rice cooker.

    Also, the old wisdom about how you can’t use washing up liquid for cast iron is bunk, the modern stuff works just fine (it is something that has stuck around from when there used to be lye in the washing up liquid).




  • No, they embody the condescending, self-satisfied and annoying stereotype. It is a real phenomenon. Carl Bildt may be the apotheosis of that specific kind of guy (though he also genuinely sucks 99% of the time). The people filling that stereotype in Swedish media are preppy Finnish people.

    The reverse is kind of true for Danish and Norwegian politicians or police in Sweden where they are invited to tell us why we gotta get more racist and get hailed as truth tellers for saying it.


  • This is how Swedish people are used abroad. Someone who will be for something that is good but does it in a condescending, self-satisfied and annoying way so that the people hearing it double down on not doing that. One of the reasons that hearing the Swedish accent in English (in Swidin wi donnt do dat) makes my skin crawl. Even if they are not actually being condescending, self-satisfied or annoying they will be framed as if they are (such as Greta Thunberg).

    It is either that or the classic bikini babe.






  • I hope that someday American policy will shift in their favor

    This is emblematic of the liberal shitstains I see supporting Contrapoints in this. Went on the socials to check and it is the same top down arguments that lead some to think that civil rights were won because politicians decided to vote for it out of the kindness of their hearts or that the 40 hour work week happened because capitalists cared about their workers. HOW THE FUCK WILL THE POLICY CHANGE IF YOU CANNOT EVEN BE CRITICAL OF IT. If everyone in the USA has to be pro-Zionist why would the policy change?

    It is such a myopic worldview, if things aren’t achieved on a 6 month timespan they are worthless and you did nothing but turn off the sensible white moderates. Contrapoints herself is arguing that the pro-Palestinian option was genocide under Kamala Harris as ‘harm reduction’. That is all her support amounts to, feeling a bit sad and not even trying to agitate for the rights of Palestinians.
