  • Nah, it's more like saying I take it to a shop to get the oil changed or fill it up with the cheap gasoline because the point is to get me from point a to point b and I deal with its upkeep. It's not a hobby, it's a tool. But people hear that and want to seem superior, is how I see it, so they tell me the Right way as if I don't know. I just don't agree.

  • So many people are freaking out over the knife sharpening. A) you're in this picture and you don't like it B) hand sharpening on a whetstone isn't necessary for home cooks. Other tools will get you to adequate with a lot less effort, both in learning and using the tools.

    It's ok to not optimize everything in your life. It's ok to put your knives in the dishwasher. It's ok to shave with an electric. It's ok to not look like or dress like how these sites say you should.

    Edit: jeeze, apparently it's not ok so much so that it's ok to imply violence is acceptable against people who put their knives in the dishwasher. I'm pretty grossed out by this interaction and at the people that insist their way of doing something is better, easier, whatever, when I've already said no thanks. Ew.

    Edit: this is more of a how did you miss it than he's religious, it's in every single video, rather that an exhaustive list of where it leaks into the main parts of his videos. I stopped watching him, I'm not going to go combing back through to find examples.

  • If you can write one word but not the other, it's the other that's worse.

    That being said, fat people do face systemic issues which are often intersectional with race, class, gender, etc., but this is a shitpost, so don't think too hard about it.

  • Moral panics gonna panic.

    Edit: nothing new under the sun.

    In 1941, Mary Preston published “Children’s Reactions to Movie Horrors and Radio Crime” in The Journal of Pediatrics. The American pediatrician had studied hundreds of 6- to 16-year-old children and concluded that more than half were severely addicted to radio and movie crime dramas, having given themselves “over to a habit-forming practice very difficult to overcome, no matter how the aftereffects are dreaded”
