I still find it unsettling that this is the way we do things now, that an entire business can 100% be made or broken by a TikTok video. The idea is, as we’ve seen, that an influencer can do this same thing except with misinformation and a bad review, and a place could just go down.

I live in an area where one would struggle to survive.

Baha! Chelseeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa

I mean, this person is clearly an expert on cancer. We should listen to them.

Peanut sauce is very common in Thai/Vietnamese restaurants.

In the extremely rare occasion when social media has a positive impact, I love to see it

Eastern european stock is so much better. To be frank, pho tastes like an undercooked eastern european stock

I don't think they even mate. But I wouldn't have thought that of wolves and coyotes, either. So here we are lol

Reddit is a great filter-- instead of gargling a fire hose of raw sewage (TikTok or 4chan), I get purified sips of their best content, with most of the scum scraped off.

When I downloaded the app one of the days in the first week I was on the app I was on it until 5am, just mindless scrolling. Probably was about 7 hours of solid scrolling. And the people on there are so toxic. I deleted it after two months.

I mean … it’s marketing. Since ever, if you’re going into business, you have to get the word out.

Are there other competing places with peanut sauce?

isn’t that basically bún chả?

Definitely!

Better title, one of the richest cities in one of the richest countries will not force children to pay to not go hungry this year, but will resume this barbaric practice next year. Food is a basic human right, they are not offering they are merely not taking away a human need in exchange for cash.

This is a surprise. I grew up in Santa Rosa. Lees noodle house was always the small out of the Pho restaurant that people who knew good Vietnamese food would go to for takeout. I moved away before the pandemic so I never saw this slow down but it’s great to hear they made a comeback.

We drive through Santa Rosa every year. We will look for Lee’s Noodle House this time and hopefully we will eat there!

Isn’t that just called marketing?

Grace? Mf you routinely go to r/cryptocurrency r/spirituality r/tarot r/psychic and worst of all r/ChelseaFC gtfoh with ur grace lol

I agree. How is it uplifting that a shop which is perfectly capable of getting customers was failing for the wrong reasons, and that it took an influencer to wake people up to that fact? This is more depressing if anything. The realization that the success of your life-long dream, and all finances in your life, can entirely depend on some person out there sharing a video. Absolutely terrifying
