I agree that flaming asshole level of heat is silly. But capsaicin activates heat receptors - people with less tolerance perceive it as pain but for those of us that can tolerate it, it’s more heat coupled with maybe just a little pain. Heat (or the perception of heat) can act as a flavor enhancer.

I would not be able to vote for my own leaders and representatives. Everything else (housing, healthcare, etc) can be fixed but once that is taken away we will have nothing.

Edit: I don’t agree that Taiwan is a vassal state or forward operating base for the Americans. Look at the US presence in Japan and Korea - if the Americans really viewed Taiwan (or if Taiwan viewed themselves being American lackeys) as being that important they would have sold us F-15s or other advanced weaponry like they did to Japan years ago and had actual bases here. I wish Taiwanese in general would show lesser favoritism to the Americans as a cultural and human rights sort of thing but when you have no real international relations you do what you must I suppose.
