Would lemmings fire her? I know I wouldn't. I'd want her to stop, because, you know, germs, but at the same time 1) good for her, 2) you can just tell her to stop.

It's pretty hard to explain what "sad looking food" is in my language. I just show people American public school lunch.

I give you a gift; you can do whatever you want. Go home and fuck it or whatever. It's obvious I have no say in it.

But selling a gift outright right away is insulting. It's common courtesy, then, to at least hide the fact that you're going to.

Saying "Oh, I'm selling this" right to my face feels like a giant fuck you to me.

Do young people make their own kimchi and store it in the drawer, or do most go buy it premade and stock the drawer?

Complicated! Kimchi that goes into the drawer is gimjang kimchi. Anything else doesn't necessarily go into the drawer.

Gimjang kimchi making is very much a communal thing; often we make a year's worth of kimchi around November, with all the family members gathered round. It's almost ceremonial.

A lot of people still do it, including my family, but it's dying out as well.

Apparently Korean people would bury cabbage in their backyard and then leave it there for a month and then dig it up and eat it!

Korean here, and the tradition is basically dead, partly because no one has a backyard anymore and partly we all have kimchi fridges.

The idea is pretty much the same. It keeps a lower temperature than normal fridges, just like how buried kimchi would be kept in.
