So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up?

You know, the guy who's been having that same angry conversation about the same fucking thing he's been obsessed with for the last 5 years and demands that you take his view while going on long monologues and then immediately interrupting anyone who tries to get a word in edgewise? And then goes into a weeks-long suicidal despair if you try to leave the conversation? Any way to deal with that?

How strong is fermented bean curd supposed to taste exactly?

I ate some fermented bean curd that I saw at the korean market yesterday, and the flavor was let's just say quite strong and horrible. Having never had fermented bean curd before I just assumed this is how it was supposed to taste, and it was just one of those things asians eat that tastes terribly at first but they've somehow developed a taste for it. I did wonder why they bothered to make it "spicy" when the taste was so strong that spiciness was totally superfluous. So I forced down the one piece I ate and threw out the rest.

Later that night, I the sort of stomach experience that I'm sure many of you are familiar with. I'll spare the details, other than to say it involved waking up and wondering if I would pass out before reaching the bathroom, and a puddle of cold sweat on the bathroom floor.

So now I'm wondering if it was that the fermented bean curd was way too fermented, or if there's something else in my fridge I should be throwing out?
