This has become the new cool hip phenomenon where couples will go on a sushi date.
Just a few minutes ago i was watching my chaddam friends snapchat story and he was eating sushi with his qt girlfriend in the car.
By going on these sushi dates the couples are showing three moggs.
First is the financial mogg since sushi is madly overpriced so youd have to be relatively well off to afford all that sushi on multiple dates. And second is ofcoarse the relationship mogg where they can post pics and laugh at all the subhumans who will never have a relationship
The third is the "quirky" mogg. Since most of these couples doing this shit are white, they go out to eat sushi since it allows them to virtue signal about how they love eating exotic and nonwhite foods. But ofcoarse you wont see them eating actual exotic foods like feseekh](https://i0.wp.com/www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/2020-05-24_17-40-12.png?resize=580%2C1573&ssl=1)
Incels, you really need to develop some hobbies, dudes; this is getting ridiculous.
On the lingo: MOG is short for AMOG or “Alpha Male of the Group,” a bit of PUA lingo the incels have enthusiastically adopted. If you get “mogged” by someone, it means they’ve shown themseles to be more alpha than you.

Here is my best guess as to why this guy is upset about this “new cool hip phenomenon” that has existed for decades: He recently saw pictures of two different couples on dates where they happened to be eating sushi and felt intense resentment and jealousy. In order to rationalize the intensity of his feelings, he had to tell himself that he was really upset about a whole emerging movement and not just four people who went on dates.
In World of Warcraft “mogging” refers to Transmogrification, where you change the cosmetic appearance of a piece of equipment (weapons, armor, and clothing) into another of the same type.
It was introduced so that players could equip the best gear (which provides game benefits) while still being able to play Pretty Pretty Dress-Up with their Orc Warriors and blue-space-goat-people Paladins.
Oh, no, they are on to the super secret plan! People are going on dates and eating sushi just to make incels feel bad, because everything is actually about a bunch of weird dudes angrily masturbating in lonely, fetid rooms while jabbering on the internet about how much they hate women.
We are gonna SO indulge in our anniversary dinner (hopefully if/when it’s safe to go out by then)! Our tradition is omakase. 🙂
Why is all of their knowledge of pop culture like 20 years (at least) behind the times? Sushi hasn’t been “exotic” since, what, 1992? Something like that? Also, you can get sushi that’s the same price as any other entree at any other mid-priced restaurant. You can get it at your local grocery store deli. And no one on any date is thinking about how upset any incel is about this.
Also, seriously, sushi is no longer considered “exotic.”
@Moggie
Share pictures when its done?
@Some Chick in Texas:
Sushi is still exotic, just as all young women are still obsessed with Brad Pitt.
Monzach:
Hah. Despite living in Helsinki, I don’t really identify with this sort of city banter myself. I rely on public transport, but otherwise I’m not remotely interested in the hipster feseekh restaurants and other gifts of urban cultural sophistication. I could even live without something as simple and commonplace as a sushi restaurant. Hence, I don’t see the Rural Parts as less civilized, only less accessible for living.
(Since Alan mentioned human encroachment on wild habitats)
Actual wolves were nearly extinct in Finland for much of the 20th century, basically only surviving in the wilds along the eastern border, where they were connected to the Russian wolf population. In recent decades, there’s been some rewilding going on, which is naturally perceived by rural folks as wolves “encroaching” on human habitat. Many people feel that even one wolf pack established within 100 km from their home is one too many. Indeed, considering how much Finland’s wolves are monitored and debated these days, the aforementioned term “wolf couple” might actually more often refer to actual wolf family units 🙂
Nowadays, while the wolf population is still very small, at least stray lone wolves might be found in most parts of Finland – indeed, last year one was spotted inside the ring road I, just a mile or so from my home. There isn’t really a clear “wolf limit”, just like there isn’t a clear “sushi limit”, as the distribution of both wolves and sushi restaurants is highly sporadic, the latter thriving in existing human towns and cities, the former trying to hide in the larger forest areas between human settlements. So, one might say at least there’s no conflict between sushi places and wolf habitat.
Re: Fermented fish and such – even in the countries where they’re considered “traditional cuisine” quite a lot of people hate that stuff. Ocean fish migrate (and a lot of river/lake fish are ocean fish which spend part of their life cycle in fresh water), so during some parts of the year you’ll get tons of fish and others very little. There was a need to preserve it, and no refrigerators… and if it’s winter at northern latitudes and you freeze it, the results aren’t really an improvement, because slow-frozen fish turns into a barely edible mush when it thaws. (Frozen fish in the supermarket is flash-frozen.)
Sashimi is conceptually similar in that it’s a traditional fish-preservation method – though it doesn’t last as long in storage and tastes a lot better, at least to those who like fish.
I’ve never been on a sushi-date. I make my own sushi most of the time, anyway. Though I usually use brown rice, even though that doesn’t stay together as well as sushi rice.
@Fabe:
Only if it ends up being something I’m proud of! Version 1 is nothing: I’m just using one of these and a bunch of buttons. Had it working on a breadboard, and now I’m awaiting a box to put it in (Hammond: they do nice project boxes). Though I’m now thinking I ought to 3D-print something more tailored.
For version 2, I want to have a display (either e-ink or OLED) to provide legends for all the buttons. I can handle the electronics for this, but the Windows development will be a new experience (I have a lot of dev experience, just not on Windows).
OOT: Ann Coulter decided to announce on Twitter she doesn’t like Trump anymore because he’s not racist enough. Time for popcorn.
(Of course some less-clued-in/not-very-leftist Trump opponents have decided to actually applaud her… I’m just content to see two despicable people fighting it out instead of attacking people who deserve better)
@Moggie
What type of box? I made a couple of the the grandkids wooden controller cases last year. The idea tickled them, especially a controller custom fit to their hand and I had a chunk of olive trunk laying around, so we did it.
@Moggie
Pfft, real Gamers use keyboard encoders! (I say as I look over the 5 or 6 zero delay encoders I have for various projects.) 😉
@jsrtheta:
If you’re thinking in terms of the history of the universe, yes. But not by any other standard, really
@Shadowplay:
That sounds lovely! My woodworking skills are non-existent, but I can imagine trying my hand at carving for a future project. Hmm… I drive one of these:
so maybe her belated 50th birthday present should be an under-dash USB charging point in Canadian ash, to match the existing timber. Could be fun.
For the current project, I’m using a Hammond console case. Ultimately, though, the ideal would be something like the Logitech “heavy equipment side panel”: a bunch of controls in a sloping console which could attach to the desk, which is a 3D printing project in itself.
@ moggie
Is that the Traveller? Beautiful vehicle.
@Schnookums Von Fancypants:
That’s a possibility!
I had two goals: something quick and dirty to get numerous controls off of the keyboard and onto something which could accept labels, and then a more satisfying project combining hardware and software. I might base the latter around a SparkFun Pro Micro, because of its USB HID ability.
@Alan, yes and no. Gozer the Traveller. The one in the photo isn’t mine, but mine is the same colour, and in similarly pretty condition. I love driving a car which makes people smile (and I don’t care if it’s because they find it ridiculous: “look at that berk driving a Tudor cottage!”)
@Moggie
Does the car have an electric lighter port (not sure what you call them in the UK, but most cars in the US for the last few decades have them)? If so, I’d imagine the best way to wire a USB port would be from that, though you would need to do something about the voltage.
Fun fact: sushi originated from the practice of wrapping raw fish in fermented rice. The rice effectively pickled the fish (malo-lactic fermentation products) producing a less perishable protein source with a sour, umami flavor. The rice was discarded before the fish was eaten.
Much later, some innovative cook figured out how to use vinegar in the rice to approximate the effect, which had the benefit of keeping the rice edible.
Mark Kurlansky’s fascinating book “Salt: A World History” covers the many different ways humans have used that versatile mineral to preserve fish over the millennia.
@Alan, here’s mine:
@Moon Custafer:
And just as no real Earth human runs around with blue hair.
(And now I’m reminded of a passage that got copied and pasted into a lot of Mary Sue Litmus Tests–I believe it originated in ST:Voyager fandom, with the Liz Taylor clause being added in a Buffy version–that enforces extremely stringent Norms™ regarding who gets to have what combination of hair, eye, and skin color:
Unless they are wearing colour contact lenses, no one has violet eyes. Not even Liz Taylor. Go with the norms for whatever ethnicity you have chosen-blondes are genetically pre-disposed toward light eyes (blue or green). Brunettes are genetically pre-disposed toward dark eyes (brown or black). Redheads are are genetically pre-disposed toward shades of brown and green. Asians predominantly have dark eyes, as do the Spanish, Hispanic, and African and African Americans.
I don’t even know why he’s angry about that girl eating sushi, she’s not even attractive:
1. No boobs, less developed than a third-world nation
2. Stick thin, probably does not have the booty
3. Face looks like a 10 year old
4. Hair is limp and lifeless, total becky bun on top of head
5. Cannot even give proper attention to person taking picture, strong hyypergamous instincts, probably checking out waiter’s bum.
3/10, would not listen to Smiths records if she rejected me
@Naglfar, cigarette lighters were never offered as an option in this car. But I have an after-market combined cigarette lighter and USB charger unit; just never got around to mounting it, since it’s ugly and would look out of place. I may now have a solution to that, even if it’s just applying some veneer!
The car does have ashtrays. Can you imagine people smoking in cars? Ugh!
Are incels all Reagan-era time travelers in addition to being bitter, sexist idiots? Sushi hasn’t been exotic or particularly expensive in decades; I can find it in the deli case of the grocery store in my tiny, rural, deep southern town.
