If you are turning a period of human tragedy into a place for teenagers to call each other fags, you shouldn't be obliged to pretend having any respect for it.

Moon Slayer posted:Sure, but do you enjoy it? And if you could get away with not doing it and spend that time doing something else, wouldn't you? A huge part of being a competent cook comes from perusing available ingredients during grocery shopping, and thinking of what could go with what and how, picking various combinations and trying to get the best results out of them. People who rely on glorified Hungry Man dinners (Blue Apron) will never get that element.

Beachcomber posted:This is not me, but in my experience it's just a basic disconnect between knowing what you want and being able to conceptualize the groceries needed to realize it. There's also a very real element of choice overload. There's like 10 kinds of chicken and 20 kinds of sausage. Organic distinction has little to do with cooking, and more with ethics / budget, so that's a false choice. Frozen ingredients are the same thing as chilled ingredients, only different in their shelf life. Various variations of breasts are absolutely self-explanatory. Other, niche products are either clearly named to suggest their purpose, or obviously not substitutes. Somebody who is trying to make fried chicken is not going to buy a pound of chicken necks. If somebody is paralyzed by this "selection", they have not been taught basic life skills and have relied on pre-made food for their entire existence.

It's impressive the lengths to which they went in destroying this chair. It appears they made sure to strip off literally all the mechanical and electronic components, leaving only the most vulgar mockery of its original state. It's not just an accident, it's an aggressively deliberate political statement, a work of abstract art. steinrokkan has a new favorite as of 22:44 on Jul 9, 2017 |

Krispy Kareem posted:Where was this? Southern states will suck any automaker's dick for opening a plant so I'm surprised to hear they'd force one out. Looks like I misremember it slightly, in 2014 Geman VW representatives tried to get their Tennessee plant to unionize, citing it as a requirement for further expansion in the US, but the workers were persuaded by anti-labour organizations with government ties not to enroll into unions, which would be a blow to VW's organization. http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/2/19/without-unions-vwmayhavetroubleexpandinginsouth.html Apparently the VW hasn't left Tennessee, but has been dealing with anti-union activists trying to sabotage their internal procedures ever since. Eventually they managed to get UAW enrolments to a minimum threshold required to give UAW reps some privileges, but only after defeating anti-union "unions" that wanted to hijack the plant and push the UAW out, and the same anti-union activists are still fighting them to this day. http://www.ibtimes.com/southern-momentum-tennessee-vw-workers-opposed-unionizing-says-its-underdog-uaw-1555323 It's hilarious that "pro-business" interest groups are fighting tooth and nail against one of the biggest corporation's own preferences. steinrokkan has a new favorite as of 11:41 on Aug 2, 2017 |

Andrast posted:I really doubt that the unemployment in France is the unions' fault Like it's one of basic Keynesian tenets that unionization (or rather collective bargaining as a whole) increases unemployment because employees choose to raise the marginal cost of employment, for their own sake. That's not an argument against unions, though, it's an argument for welfare.

EmmyOk posted:I agree with you generally but I'd like to see the mislead that confuses someone who knows the answer ahead of time. It|s more interesting to know why somebody is the culprit than who is the culprit. E.g. the good murder mysteries are about exploring the characters and interweaving their motivations - somebody who already knows who ends up guilty still doesn't know the process that leads to their apprehension.
