  • Even if the judiciary system in your country doesn’t do its work, people taking justice in their own hands is a fundamentally bad thing for a society. I don’t pity predators if they get what they deserve, but I pity the society that suddenly has to define boundaries - where do you draw the line? Not all cases are clear cut. Not everyone operates on the same set of morals.

    Example: Religious zealots really do believe that abortions kill children. If society doesn’t categorically forbid people to take justice into their own hands but goes “well, in this case, we can all understand”, you will have other people acting in ways they perceive as equally justifiable. And then abortion doctors get murdered.

    The users who downvoted me don’t seem to have this understanding, they would rather have revenge. If you people don’t understand that self-justice will ultimately lead to a more violent society, then go ahead, downvote me again. You’re the reason your country isn’t a more civilized place, wherever you live.


  • Religion has no reason to argue with science,

    Well, that sounds good on paper. It would be nice if over the centuries, religion wouldn’t have ceaselessly attacked and persecuted scientists. If religion was “only philosophy”, there wouldn’t be so many religious zealots not only denying but actively trying to ban the teaching of evolution at schools. Nope… religion is anti-science. It has to be, because science is the one thing that has gradually taken away religion’s authority over the minds of people. Religion is a mind virus, science is the cure.



  • Very nice! Yes, it’s definitely missing gochujang and sauce. Mine usually clings to the pasta and looks pretty similar to a tomato based sauce. I also use less furikake, you went all in on it there. Try making the sauce so it has a really solid red sauce base which covers the mince. Other than that - really happy that you liked it! PS: If you’re looking for that little something extra, I have a spicy buldak sauce at home, the one from the famous super hot instant buldak ramen. That gives the dish an extra kick if you can handle the heat. :)



  • Here’s a recipe (1 large serving):

    • 250g spaghetti
    • 250g minced beef
    • 1 small onion
    • 1 table spoon of gochujang, more if you like spicier (you can always add more during tasting)
    • 1 table spoon of dark soy sauce (Kikkoman is great)
    • 1 tea spoon of oyster sauce (Lee Kum Kee Premium is my favorite)
    • 2 cloves of garlic (more if you don’t plan to go out)
    • toasted sesame seed oil
    • sugar to taste
    • 1/4 cup of corn starch / water mixture (containing max. 1 tsp. corn starch)
    • (optional) 1 tsp. furikake (Japanese seaweed / sesame seed mix)

    Put spaghetti into boiling water. Chop the onion into small pieces. Stir fry mince and onion until done. Scoop out excess fat now if necessary. Add slurry and gochujang. Cook until nice, thicc consistency. Add crushed garlic. Add oyster sauce and soy sauce. Add sugar to taste (and more gochujang if needed). When done, mix with a splash of toasted sesame seed oil. Whenever you feel your sauce needs to be thinned a little, just use a bit of the pasta water. And if you didn’t waste any time, your spaghetti should be done right at this moment. Add sauce to pasta, maybe sprinkle a little bit of furikake on top, dig in.
