I think you confuse a thing or two. You got 15 bitcoin and use the Zuck as reference? And yes that was the whole point of mine. The nouveau riche pretend to not give a fuck about class and the establishment. Yet everything they do screams wanting to belong. Their lack of formal education (not always but often) and proper attire as well as demeanor get them classed in the corner group of each golf club or other membership establishment. Makes me chuckle each time when I see the wannabes who enter airports with track suits or fleeze PJs pretending they don't give a fuck. If they gave no fuck they would not dress provocatively (which got actually many of them already ejected from airport lounges). They give very much a fuck and want to stir up, provoke, and tell the world they don't care, yet everything they do shows their entire life is organized to reflect their self-perceived image and class. Yet all they display is that they either won the lottery yesterday, came to money through criminal activity, or made a quick buck gambling, whether it be in financial markets, or elsewhere. Then you have the few rich daddy's kiddos mixed in. It's funny because all they display is a huge lack of self esteem and self confidence. Not talking about you, I don't know you. But I think you can see those desperate persona now in almost every larger city. They think money buys them a place to belong yet they just created a class of their own that is disrespected by almost everyone else and all they are left with is competing for the most outrageous attire among themselves.
I said 18 Bitcoins (3 at exchange), you said attention to detail is important, but you missed it I suppose you also missed the hundreds of thousands of $ in bank accounts, and I didn't mention I also have hundreds of thousands worth of stablecoins and cryptos but no way for you to know that If you don't think I'm rich enough to eat at places that you go to, I don't give a fuck If you see me in person, you will not notice me to stand out, as you said you were not referring to me, but remember I'm always thinking of security and attack surfaces, google Gray Man If you don't remember, shirt with a collar, that's all, presentable, no flashy colored red shoes or anything flashy at all I don't go out to disrespect the place or the people in the surroundings, but to repeat the point, if I can't get into a restaurant, II go somewhere else, I don't give a fuck I enjoy my meals which I'm paying for anyway I want. Others think it's crude, I don't give a fuck Having billions is not the point, but having self-respect is, as long as you can pay for the meal, you're the customer, and you do not have to kiss the sushi chef's ass, but you don't have be an asshole, either Life's too short, go where you're treated well (-NomadCapitalist)
I grew up blue collar, always was curious if the stereotypes in this book are parody or not, maybe you could share some insight; https://www.amazon.com/s?k=filthy+rich+handbook
I find sushi on the west coast is not bad either. They have fresh crabs not just imitation crabs for nigiri and that was a treat. I ate at San Diego few years back and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I read a book once about sushi etiquette. I didn't buy it. I saw a colleague reading it and asked if I can borrow it and he lent it to me to read. First. the order of the sushi is that, you are supposed to eat sashimis first, then nigiris, and then sushi rolls last with the light-tasting ones first moving gradually to stronger-tasting ones. So usually you are supposed to eat like red snapper, butter fish first and then salmon, tuna at last so that way you will be able to taste the lighter tasting pieces more adequately before your taste buds are overwhelmed by the stronger-tasting sashimi pieces. You are supposed to eat yellowtail before salmon and tuna but because yellowtail is usually the best part of a tuna and is my favourite sashimi piece so I usually eat yellowtail last. As to eating the pieces, you are supposed to dip it lightly in the soy sauce and then put the whole thing in your mouth all at once. You are not supposed to break it apart and eat parts of it at a time. And after you dip it in the sauce, you are not supposed to shake the nigiri to shake off the excess sauce so you are not supposed to dip it a lot into the sauce. The soy sauce is not supposed to overwhelm the taste. It's the actual food that you are supposed to be tasting. You can eat the pieces either with chopsticks or your hand, that's fine. Oh and you are supposed to drink the miso soup first before the sashimis and the sushis. That's all I remembered from the book.
OMG, what is with this Sushi etiquette? Who is the one dictating how and in what order you should eat your food? Is it the Japanese Samurai overlord who is staring down at you from above, ready to chop your head off if you don't "do it right"? This must be the Japanese equivalent of the WASP way to place the utensils on the table. Forks on left, knives and spoons on right, etc etc etc. WTF! lol
Somebody once told me those table manners and eating etiquette is a way of showing respect to others. Table manners is showing respect to other fellow eaters and eating etiquette in this case for eating sushi is showing respect and appreciation as well as admiration to the chef who has gone into great efforts in preparing the meal for you in that you eat the meal in a way that showcases best the chef's talent and efforts and allows you at the same time to get the most out of the meal so in the end it is still benefitting you. Nothing to do with race or social class or whatever. Overthinking again, @Overnight
Isn't that the textbook definition of scam? Price can only go up lol. That's how much faith apparently the creators have in this trash that they specified such requirement ;-) But I am also disappointed. I thought it entitles to 10 free meals in the metaverse to virtually suck a few organic carrots.
