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.

What a lovely old car! Reminds me of being a kid 🙂
Veneer facing a panel for your USB charger is a piece of cake. Can recommend either Capital Crispin in London, or Timberline down in Tonbridge for veneer – they’re both superbly run places, so it’s basically who’s got what you want in stock when you order. Timberline’s a wee bit cheaper, Crispin’s does way more mail order stuff. Both fun places to visit, too.
@ moggie
She’s lovley; and as a Landy aficionado I totally get it.
@Shadowplay, thanks! Looks like Capital Crispin do free samples, so I’ll give that a try.

Mary Sue Litmus tests tell us some interesting things, especially where the author does or does not make an exception.
For example, I took one designed for tabletop RPG characters, and my character scored over 90% Mary Sue. The big factors were that he was a noble, had a Japanese-sounding name, wielded a katana that had belonged to his grandfather.
Thing is, the game was Legend of the Five Rings, a fantasy RPG based on Japanese samurai movies, and the above traits were the default for every player character in the game, because that was the basic premise of the genre. (Though whether you actually knew how to use your katana was variable.)
But the test made no exceptions for “this trait is standard for the game or setting.”
@Robert: “Mark Kurlansky’s fascinating book “Salt: A World History”
Wait, I’m not the only one in the world to have read that?
The one thing that annoyed me, right off the bat, is his insistence that humans can’t tell if they are low on salt.
I was like whaaaa? When I’m low on salt I *CRAVE* anything that is even vaguely salty. And when I’ve had too much I want low-salt food. Other animals seem to be the same: they go to the salt lick once in a while but they don’t just sit there and lick all day forever. Clearly, Kurlansky’s fact checking could be improved.
Still an entertaining book.
Sushi is not nearly as exotic as the weirdly aggressively Korean tonkatsu I had last week. (Mind you, it was good, but it was not at all what I expected.)
Surprised that nobody has pointed out that ‘mogg’ is surely short for ‘moggie’, i.e. a cat! So,
The financial mogg = the maneki-neko, which brings good luck in business, or the calico cat, called the “money cat” in folklore;
The relationship mogg = the cat which lives with a couple, or which attracts a mate for its human and solidifies their relationship;
The quirky mogg = the endearingly silly cat, which is to say any cat.
So, whatever we think of, if we think of a blue station wagon, a blue station wagon will appear and destroy us? 🙂
> Naglfar & Victorious Parasol
Hmm, same as Victorious Parasol, here. Does you mean that this is supposed to be a litteral version of “of course” pronounced with a specific accent or intonation (or inflection, not sure of which word is right, here) ? Like a sarcastic or ironic tone ?

Ah, good game. Have almost all first edition books (in french, however). We had made some adaptations to set the universe in the Sengoku era, though. Less Shadowland, but possibilities to meet some historical figures.
Observation: Fidel Whatshisname has his head so far up his butt that his hairline is touching his spinal cord.
@occasional reader : the french first edition of L5R is basically the english one, expanded with more stuff. It’s absolutely awesome.
(later editions were “just” translations, and not expanded translations with additional consistency check).
Feels like one of these wierdos were watching my husband and I when he was home on leave for our wedding. A few weeks before it this is what we did. Dinner date of Sushi and then a movie. it was fun and a bit expensive dinner but not at all a booshi dinner like these guys are talking about.
@Surplus:
Would you prefer the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man?
@Moggie:
Honestly, yes, I’d prefer Mr. Stay-Puft. Giant evil marshmallow creatures are easily to melt and kill than giant evil cars.
@Allandrel , @Full Metal Ox:
The Mary Sue Litmus test I’m most inclined to accept isn’t based on the character’s abilities at all, but on whether the narrative sabotages other characters’ abilities (or conveniently ignores that they have them) in order to give her the advantage.
@Moon Custafer
Right, how could I forget all the times my daughter and her friends were mooning over Brad Pitt. (All the times being never, in case that wasn’t obvious.)
Also, can we get destroyed by the stay puff marshmallow man? I’m really not a fan of this current timeline. Maybe that’s how we can reset?
@Occasional Reader
I’m not sure what you mean. You set the game on Earth instead of Rokugan? Would that still be Legend of the Five Rings?
@Moon Custafer
Oh, you mean how anybody teamed up with Batman is written.
Batman does have a superpower: An aura that suppresses the intelligence and competence of anyone working with him.
@Allandrel : there’s two options, one is playing in the sengoku age of Rokugan, the other is playing in real Japan.
The first one is more plausible mostly because a french doujin circle did a big supplement on exactly that.
I would also not say that Batman have this as a superpower, but more than super heroes by and large are as skilled and strong as the plot need. There’s very little consistency here in most comics. Perhaps slightly more nowaday, if that.
@Ohlmann
Not sure what you mean by the “sengoku age of Rokugan,” given its very different history from Japan. The Clan War?
The second option makes it sound like French L5R is very different from the original, which is entirely about Rokugan.
I think the first time I had sushi was back in 1992, at a little place in San Francisco which actually had the little stream of water running around the bar and boats on an underwater cable to deliver the sushi. They actually had one that I liked called a ‘Cat’s Eye’ sushi, which was just cucumber and mushroom in the core, surrounded by rice, with the mushroom deliberately flattened a bit to make it look like a cat’s pupil surrounded by the green cucumber.
(And in gaming, one Mekton Zeta game I was in ended up with myself and the group’s ‘hot blood’ character engaging in a sushi eating contest. The contest involved picking up the piece of sushi with chopsticks and getting it to your mouth without breaking it, before the other person did. The challenge round involved tamago; if anybody’s unfamiliar with that, it’s pretty much a strip of omelette wrapped to a chunk of rice. Somewhat fragile. Ahh, that game was fun.)
@Allandrel, Ohlmann:
I think one of my favourite Batman/Superman moments happened not long post-Crisis. Batman is handing an old scrapbook to Superman (which contained some of Ma Kent’s news clippings) and it goes
Batman: “You should keep better track of this: I could figure out you were Clark Kent from it. That’s why I didn’t bring Robin along, no need to saddle him with your identity as well. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”
Superman: “Oh, I’m sure you won’t, Mister Wayne.” *flies off*
Batman: “Hunh. There must have been half a dozen different ways he could have figured that out with his senses.” *beat* “And I went to all that trouble to lead-line my cowl for nothing.”
@Allandrel : no, much before. I need to hit my books again to find the name of the era, but there’s one sengoku-inspired one.
The official supplements only lightly touch them, but a group of french (who aren’t the official translators) made a big book about it, which isn’t official but is still very well made.
I mostly grew up rather a while back (yikes) in Canada small town / small city, where most of the foreigners were attached to the university and ethnic food was German plus one super-exotic Chinese restaurant that served egg foo young. We’re talking mid-90s here.
It was a bit of a shock to get to university in a US city and suddenly there’s people from all over the place, and restaurants catering to them (who would make sure to order so I’d get the real stuff, not the white-boy crap). From then on I’ve lived mostly in quite cosmopolitan places.
Returning to where I’d grown up, I didn’t feel comfortable there through the early ’00s. Too monochrome. But it was changing, so that when I last visited about 5 years ago it felt much more like what I’m used to nowadays — all sorts of people from all over the world, some of them making food from all over.
Through all that, I somehow avoided hating people who ate sushi.
@Jenora Feuer
I never got to actually play Mekton Zeta, but I spent a lot of time with its mecha design system.
For some reason I was incredibly good at meeting target point values without keeping careful track of them, with my first pass almost always coming within 10% of the desired point total.
That’s… that’s where I spent my skill points.
I know lots of people are stressed because of Covid, but we deserve trolls that at least put some effort in!
