Crawdads are fresh water inhabiting brah. The ones I ate lived in a guys pond, he just set up a net and caught a bunch, and cooked them up for us.

And the more I look at that waitress, the weirder she looks.
So hot news on the internet for the past month is that the incredibly popular anime Attack on Titan is now dubbed in English. What I always find hilarious, is that every time a show gets dubbed, people are now magically voice acting experts/critics and will write essays critiquing why every English actor doesn't fit the character, and how they can't act, and they can't elaborate a damn thing on the Japanese cast besides just saying it's perfect. It's also hilarious when you see that 60 second clip and everybody is an expert on how everything is voiced in those 60 seconds.

This obvious double standard is pretty pathetic at times, and the denial of it being a double standard is just as bad. Though the reality is that they're not really critiquing the casting quality, they're bitching about how the English actors sound different than the Japanese actors. That's what's really going on when you read between the lines. Though they deny that's what's going on as well, even though they also blame the English cast for the same issues as the Japanese cast with things like voices being too old for younger characters, monotone characters, or annoying characters.

This is really why a lot of fandom's are really shitty when you think about it.
Yeah... I mean I guess it would be weird watching Doctor Who dubbed in another language because I recognize all the actors voices, but I wouldn't bitch about it much unless someone had an annoying voice or something that blatantly didn't fit, because obviously they are going to have different people voicing it. It would be ridiculous if the original actors went back and did everything in like 20 languages.

You eat fucking crab, shrimp and lobster, but you won't eat crawfish? It's one thing you hate eating all crustaceans, but why single out crawfish?
To be fair though, cockroaches are related to lobsters, technically speaking.

Technically speaking everything is related. But cockroaches don't look like lobsters (and they don't live in water, and the aren't particularly muscular). Crawdads are totally just smaller lobsters that live in freshwater.
If you can eat lobster, you can eat crawfish,

I stopped eating lobster once I realized that they eat the feces of the fish. We had this tiny shrimp in a fish tank for a while, and it would grab the fish's feces and start chomping. Lobsters have pretty much the same diet from what I've been able to research. So...yeah, that shrimp put me off shrimp, lobster, crawfish, etc.
You're missing the point Sam.
I would imagine that most fish eat some gross stuff. But at least you have a legitimate reason, not just like "Eww they're gross!"
