Portland burrito shop forced to close amid accusations of cultural appropriation, stealing recipes
http://www.portlandmercury.com/b…
"Portland has an appropriation problem.
This week in white nonsense, two white women—Kali Wilgus and Liz “LC” Connely—decided it would be cute to open a food truck after a fateful excursion to Mexico.There’s really nothing special about opening a Mexican restaurant—it’s probably something that happens everyday. But the owners of Kooks Burritos all but admitted in an interview with Willamette Week that they colonized this style of food when they decided to “pick the brains of every tortilla lady there in the worst broken Spanish ever.”

- stupid white cis women colonizing food. what were they thinking?Gnash
- http://i.huffpost.co…detritus
- Why can't she just be comfortable in admitting she's as racist as any other cunt, and she doesn't like ditzy middle class white girls? It's fine, no one cares.detritus
- I'm really perplexed as to how taking recipes from Mexico denies 'brown people' in Portland jobs. That literally doesn't make any sense. At all.detritus
- Now I really want a burrito.detritus
- make sure whomever makes that burrito is legit. get woke.Gnash
- I guess the article writer isn't Chinese, given that they invented paper, so only they can write for newspapers. This dopey shit needs to die in a fire.face_melter
- the most offensive and insulting part of this entire article is that the author minimizes the entire Mexican culture to a fucking flour tortilla recipemonospaced
- Is she writing in English? a language appropriated from German amongst others? sad._niko
- well that wasted 2 minutes of my life.fadein11
- They should also get at those Koreans and their sushi restaurants, who usurp Japanese culturewagshaft
- shit like this makes me want to move as far away as portland as possible.fooler
- These idiots will not laugh when they realize the French pretty much invented everything...zarkonite
- The only conclusion I can draw here is, because I'm French, I'm only allowed to cook and consume French food. God forbid I cook Italian, Vietnamese, German ...Continuity
- ... or anything else, never mind try to open an Italian, Vietnamese or German joint. Fuck this cunt.Continuity
- This isn't an Onion article?!instrmntl

Ottawa restaurant gets woke-shamed into changing their name by some podcast hipsters.
And finally, their confession
- lol. too bad, good name for a restaurant.Gnash

- I've seen the movie years ago but can't remember any lines from it, for me the name is fine.shapesalad
- anti-bias training! lol... because of a slur used in a movie from years ago.shapesalad
- Well... how about those Koreans and their Siemens don't then know what that sounds like in English! They need some anti-bias training.shapesalad
- "too beaucoup" is not a slur, it roughly translates into "too many much". The expression in itself is funny because of the adverb/adjective repetition.soundofreason
- Because of this, it can be applied to many situations.
Furthermore, having a large penis is considered a compliment in all societies (that I am aware of).soundofreason - Bennn took the day off.

The patriarchal race to colonize Mars is just another example of male entitlement
The presumed right to use and abuse something and then walk away to conquer something new is a hallmark of colonialism.
https://www.nbcnews.com/think/op…
"These men, particularly Musk, are not only heavily invested in who can get their rocket into space first, but in colonizing Mars. The desire to colonize — to have unquestioned, unchallenged and automatic access to something, to any type of body, and to use it at will — is a patriarchal one. Indeed, there is no ethical consideration among these billionaires about whether this should be done; rather, the conversation is when it will be done. Because, in the eyes of these intrepid explorers, this is the only way to save humanity."
- Now The Onion needs to step up their game.soundofreason

- What's next on the Idiot Carnival showlist? Sports that use balls? Because men have balls, right? Sex balls caused the Roman Empire and Cornflakes.face_melter
- But wait! Balls also made the keyboard she wrote that article with and balls tamed the electricity used to power the keyboard. Sex balls! Sex Balls! Sex balls!face_melter
- Oh FFS here we go again, even space exploration is sexist now.M01XXX
- Musk gets an erection when he launches rockets.Beeswax
- And his name is Musk ffs, can't be more patriarchal. He'll never win unless he gets a sex change.Beeswax
- Maybe men just want to get even further away from women because they write ridiculous articles like this. Suppose I should go read it now!Ianbolton
- "Rather, the impulse to colonize — to colonize lands, to colonize peoples, and, now that we may soon be technologically capable of doing so, colonizing space —yuekit
- has its origins in gendered power structures." This is where she needed maybe a citation or something for such a sweeping claim.yuekit
- It's amazing how you can simply claim things in certain fields of academia, and people will say that you "proved" or "demonstrated" that they are true.yuekit
- ^ the power lies in the fallout from challenging those ideas. being branded a racist or misogynist is those circles is the nuke option for a future careerGnash
- It's on average -55c on Mars. Plus super high UV etc. It's never going to be a natural habitat for humans. You can't do anything but stay inside! boring....shapesalad
- Musk etc, are going to spend so much time and money getting to Mars - with high UV and -55c temp. Why not use the time and cash to improve things here on Earth?shapesalad
- ^ Because we're men and we can do what the fuck we want!Ianbolton
- So Mars is really going to be for men. I'll stay here on earth with all the venues.shapesalad
- Has she got a decent rack? Boobs of the day, perhaps?PeterPancake
- I would go to Mars toot-sweet just to escape this barrage of sub Medium-quality rancid brain gas masquerading as critical writing.face_melter
- she says it like it's a bad thing. fuck yeah i wanna knock up marsscarabin
- Why don't women colonise Venus? Then we can finally have some peace. It would be great if Mars had become men's weekend destination.Beeswax

A TWISTED brother and sister are facing jail after they were spotted having sex in a train station lift.
Richard Finlayson, 21, and sibling Kirsty, 18, romped in the elevator as they were filmed by CCTV cameras.The shocking 15-minute clip showed them exiting the lift — only to return a short time later to have sex AGAIN.
And as they left for a second time Richard gave Kirsty a £20 note.
The depraved pair were later arrested by police after a railway worker at Motherwell Station raised the alarm.
Last night a family friend said the revelations had left the pair's family "destroyed".
It came after Richard, of Carluke, Lanarkshire, and Kirsty of Lesmahagow, admitted having unlawful sexual intercourse in June last year.
Hamilton Sheriff Court heard how they left an 11-year-old boy who was with them on the platform during their illicit tryst.
Depute fiscal Amanda Gallagher said: "They both went into the lift and were seen having sexual intercourse on the CCTV.
"Both accused then exited the lift for a short period before returning and continuing having sexual intercourse.
Sordid ... lift at railway station
"Both accused then stood up and left the lift. At which point Mr Finlayson was seen giving his sister some moneyThe court was told Kirsty Finlayson had admitted the sordid act to police.
But she denied she'd had sex for cash — while Richard said he gave her the £20 "as a brother, not for payment".
Last night the family friend said: "We're devastated. I was sickened when I heard about it.
"Most of the family knew nothing about it until letters for the case came in.
"We can't believe it. It is a nightmare."
Sheriff Ray Small ordered Richard to be placed on the sex offenders' register. The brother and sister will be sentenced next month.
