You buy them food, shelter, clothes, and cars. I get them at their best. Having a girlfriend is purely a status symbol. If it wasnt for that hole in between their legs which is beat to poo poo and bloody half the time anyway, most real men wouldnt even want to deal with a women's bullshit.

Hey. Hey. Hey, listen, you can't just throw money into the trash everytime you get some wild fine-dining coastal elitist whimsy like "lets serve product that has definitely been refrigerated at safe temps until its fired." That kinda thinking is profoundly untexas. If it worked yesterday, it'll work today and continue to work tomorrow, and as long as its not failing in the most catastrophic of all possible ways, its working. Now stop whining. And the asparagus is in a six pan in the ice just FYI. We're not savages, here.

We actually got walked through by the health department a few days back and came within a cunthair of being shut down on the spot. We got fifteen points off for not having a handwash sink at the omlette bar out front (:wtc:!!!!???!?!?!!) and a handful of points for dangerous temps on the hot-held food, and a bunch of points because the inspector insisted that seven day marking meant a six day shelf life since the day the product was put by didn't count--to the point of an all-but screaming argument with the F&B director. Guess who won the argument. We were 2 points north of having to shut the doors indefinitely, as it is we have 7-10 days to get our poo poo together. The hotel owner was briefed as I came on for the afternoon and was chuckling, blousy-faced, and sanguine. Oh, those scamps in the kitchen. What'll those boys get up to this week? At no point was refrigeration mentioned by anyone, even though the walk ins were running a touch hot.

And maybe its because I was fussing over one of the dozen oil-free sauteed proteins I'd have to do that night on account of South by Southwest checkins (bless your heart, inventor of the paper towel) but I realized in that moment that I wasn't a cook, really, because nothing of what I do is anything more than a signifier in a Saussurian sense. I put on some chef clothes as is culinary ritual, throw the asparagus on ice for lack of a better place to put it, and cook food for people who either don't like food or are performing an Opus Dei style catholic pennance on their gut but in either case order it because its dinner time and thats supposed to be what you do. I wear a symbolic coat to cook symbolic food to be sparsely picked at by symbolic customers who probably don't even exist except as figments of a fevered imagination. And y'know what? It's kinda neat, because when nothing matters you can do anything you goddamn please. Cook whatever, use whatever, say whatever, because its me and 170 degree midrare steak guy (who, for all my quibbles, is showing some loving admirable leadership right now) carrying the entire second half of the day on our backs. Its extremely liberating even though freedom ain't worth a whole lot when everything else is unbelievably hosed up.

I could walk in twenty minutes late tomorrow, pants around ankles, a Big Boy up my rear end, cock and balls pulled taut strumming them like a ukulele as musical accompaniment to my off-key rendition of Liz Phair's whitechocolatespaceegg and as long as nobody records the poo poo to show the GM and offend his delicate goddamned sensibilities it'd just be another Tuesday. We can't afford a tighter discipline than that. We can't even afford refrigeration.

And I can't afford to stay.

Yes I have, and quite a few times. I have prostituted with strippers, online escorts,and crackwhores. Thats the chain. The start by dancing and doing things in the VIP for extra cash, than it's craigslist/backpage, and finally when the addiction is too much and they can't find anywhere to stay it's the street corner. Alot of people look down on crackwhores, but those same girls who charge 20 for BBBJCIMS and 30 for full service on the street, will clean themselves up and charge hundreds of dollars per hour on backpage. Their used to be a lot of classism in the sex industry but the internet is the great equalizer. A chicken head can find some junk love sucker to post an ad with special filters, and boom she is in the big leagues. It's funny, I browse my cities Backpage escort section and I see girls who I have had sex with for 20 dollars, charging hundreds for an hour.HAHAHAH life is beautiful.

That dude's just a schmo. He was even kinda good in flashes before the fickle gestsalt consciousness that comprises the kitchen's id decided to smash his soul to flinders rather than, y'know, discipline/fire. He grinds my gears, but he's not too awful really on, like, an interpersonal level or anything, I can deal with that. Everyone ITT deals with that. Everyone ITT deals with petty annoyances every day, its the nature of the beast. So while I could talk about the nonworking schlubs, or the coworkers who are really great until they do this ----> :350: and then make me trash gallons of chocolate mousse because for the duration of my days off they store delis of it uncovered in a fridge running five degrees too hot with two plastic spoons apiece jutting out the top, or coming back after time off to see attempts at dicing tomatoes or filling out the stock of celery sticks instead of cleaning the detritus from breakfast service off the line lest we be in peril of passing our next inspection, but these are ultimately petty things. Everyone deals with this. You just drink a few extra slugs of coffee, maybe some grey market under-the-counter allergy meds if the cedar pollen is getting ya down, and come in each day swinging, gently caress it.

No, what really gets me going is not that slumpy teenman, but this sink.



This sink is off right now. It's off right now, because it cannot turn on. The sink just does this, constantly. The water coming from the faucet is near-boiling hot and the hot water valve won't turn on more, so that steady slow flow is our maximum of hot water from it, but it never stops. Ever. It's also leaking out the body of the faucet, which is why there's a rag tied around it. Duh! Dummy! I am fascinated by this sink. I think of little else in my downtime but this sink. The bar girls will be giving me their best smiles and I will smile back while tossing plates in the window and nod and say something funny and personable and in my head the sink will flow. I'll be out with a film club and we'll meet up after the theater for drinks and talks and I'll shout and holler about how Nightcrawler is what necessarily happens when the Dark Enlightenment attempts a dialectic with liberalism alienated from first principles like a low-rent redneck Zizek, but the whole time the sink will be there, flowing. I'll climb into bed and softly, soothingly, the sink will flow me to sleep. I can no longer conceive of life without at least one leaky, lovely sink to spice things up.

At first the part was on order. Two weeks later the part was still on order. A week after that, the part was not on order, it wasn't an issue with the part at all, we just need to turn off the water and tighten things up a bit, and also the email requesting maintenance on the faucet was never opened once by anybody. We tried the shutoff valve to staunch the flow of water, and the shutoff valve was broken. We tried the backup valve that shuts off water to most of the sinks, and the backup valve was also broken it turns out. So now we do need a part after all, the part is a pipe-freezing kit to do the job of two broken shutoff valves, and its been on order for two weeks now and when we get it in we're gonna have to stop all banquet production for roughly a day on account of no running water and ripped up floors and keystone kops custodial staff all over the prep areas.

While doing other prep I liberated a few gallon jugs to perform science. The water is so hot that the plastic melts and crumples like a paper bag which makes precision difficult, but with a few tries I was able to reckon that the rate of flow is, and I have to stress this is a very conservative estimate, one gallon every two and a half minutes not counting the water loss through the body of the sink. That is 576 gallons of scalding water every day. Today will mark the 36,000th gallon (136,275th liter) of hot water lost to this one loving leak since it first began. The great state of Texas is in the middle of a historic drought right now, at this very second. If you live in Texas, and are wrestling with water restrictions, just remember this sink and think about what you could do with a fraction of those 36,000 gallons.

I cannot despair. I have the love of the black baby jesus for this sink, because it transcends job annoyance and becomes a sublime apolitical microcosm of what's ultimately dysfunctional about America. I owe a lot to this sink. The sink and I will be married in August.

Thanks for reading.

But what did he mean by that?



He's got quite a lot of quality posts in the Middle-East thread over in D&D, I'd recommend just reading them all.

These would be my two favourites though: first, this effort post about the PR strategy of ISIS:

Willie Tomg posted:

trigger warning: i'm going to do something very dangerous for good ol' forumid=46 and talk about aesthetics and intertextuality in regards to explaining a PR campaign that is nakedly not targeted at the prototypical D&D poster, while also mentioning bad things the US did. I'm sure its a waste of breath to point out that I'm not saying nonstate actor X is justified because State Actor Y did bad stuff, but this is also a thread where a dude straight up said we should invade Turkey for Reasons and hasn't been drummed out yet so I'm not sure how serious y'all are being.

Americans in Iraq, with terrifyingly honest and good intentions, will slaughter a couple journalists and their entourage in cold blood, then beg for the chance to paste the good Samaritans who stop by to clean you off the street real quick.





ISIS, with terrifyingly honest and earnest intentions, will slaughter a couple journalists eye-to-eye in order to goad a superpower into doing something stupid in a place it doesn't understand and historically has a lot of trouble communicating to and within. Then they will kill three dudes in the street for smoking cigarettes while taking the lord's name in vain, again all in earnest. Earnesty is the key term there, coming off a decade of American occupation whose praxis can be conservatively described as "schizophrenic" where it can even be called "praxis".

This is juxtaposed against a peculiarly Victorian sensibility of Americans toward actual violence IRL considering the place violence occupies in our popular media, because let's be real here pretty much everyone wants to see these motherfuckers die. I'm a sexually flexibile leftist atheist feminist alcoholic, by rights I should be first in line baying for some goddamned salafi blood. But we, such as the Americans can be said to be a "we", cannot allow ourselves to enjoy it. Sure there are some risque photos and footage of questionable poo poo US soldiers do, but generally speaking for mainstream consumption the most vivd footage Americans see of war is a few carefully cut and curated pieces of stock footage where soldiers are firing into the horizon, maybe they're swearing, maybe a bomb goes off nearby, but mostly its dominated by the omnipresent grainy nightvision or IR footage with redacted timestamps. We'll get our blood from ISIS but it'll be mediated through a few kilometers and a digital optic, then through military censors, then through newsdesk editors, then through our TVs or computers. We'll blow you to bits with a TOW because your ideology doesn't jibe with our geopolitical vision, but we'll only celebrate your death in interlaced infrared SD. We'll assassinate Bin Laden, snap a deadpic, then dump him over the side of a ship. We'll capture Saddam and show off his dental exam for the world, but leave the retributive killing to those barbarous Shia. Anything more would be tasteless and brutal, you see.

Contrast this with the ISIS releases which, cumulatively, are already as a collaborative effort the most comprehensive and brutal war documentary ever made in the history of film. I wont presume to know your leanings, but the poo poo in ISIS vids is why antiwar sentiment exists, because the real brutality of the fighting isn't in the field engagements but the structural violence visited upon the population, and if you want to get utterly stone-cold blooded using High Rational Process, then in absolute terms just as the Iraq War was a fraction as tragic on all fronts as the Vietnam War, the invasion and occupation of ISIS for all its attempted genocide and excess is a fraction as deadly as the American invasion (albeit a fraction as comprehensive as well). The key difference is that ISIS records every single event that under American occupation would be brushed under the rug or delgated to proxies with SLR's and lens adapters shooting 1080p with a paper-thin depth of field, and then puts it on the internet. ISIS will not bullshit with "debaathificiation" in liquidating the local government should they prove uncooperative, they'll kill you and put it on the internet. ISIS will not dicker around rolling up 50 men on a block who may or may not be conducting insurgent activities and send them to Abu Ghraib for torturequestioning because good golly gosh we're just Troops trying our best to keep the peace, upon suspicion they will find you and shoot you in the street and dump your body in a pit marked on Google Earth for everyone's convenience and put it on the internet. There is no shame to ISIS, there is no guilt, there are no ablative layers of genteel "oh goodness, how tragic it came to this surely these repeated incidents are just a few bad apples which I probably wouldn't say if I knew the second half of that aphorism" that pervade martial discourse in the West in general and the States in particular for the purposes of this discussion. ISIS is there to establish a sharia government in a place and time where nobody wants them there, and chew bubblegum, and bubblegum is haraam and against Allah, sooooo...

We watch in judgement. We watch because in adopting a pro-sumer production value, ISIS has done something very very profound which is adopting the hallmarks of a Serious News Documentary Program which we are conditioned to take seriously, far more so than the public access clownshow that is Zawahiri's Al Qaeda, and we watch because it shows an aspect of war that we usually only hear secondhand. "Forces in Ukraine have entered city X, Y dead on both sides, Z civilians thought killed or missing" etc. Adopting that visual taxonomy does a whole world of things to your brain and virtually none of them occur on the level of rational thought process! I'm sure you've noticed at some point in the last few years that in the Internet Age it is far, FAR easier to lie or obfuscate than it is to debunk a lie or establish the truth. Because of this, ISIS' decision to bypass the rational and traffic almost entirely in well-produced images is a Big loving Deal, because it signals that they're actually quite well equipped for the contemporary era because like most successful corporations they bypass your cortex and grab you straight by the damned brainstem, your limbic brain. Both individuals and groups get really really loving malleable when a PR campaign starts prodding you on the levels of sexual/aggressive/fear/hunger/safety instinct. So we watch in judgement, these videos showing acts that either Americans have done or have accomplished through proxies and say "we need to kill the people doing this, or something, just do something other than nothing to these monsters".

And that is very sad because every time an American says that, Sayyid Qutb reassembles an approximate corpus in the backyard mass grave of an Egyptian black site and gives a big ol' thumbs up, because those actions are straight-up Jahiliyyah in his definition, validating his ideology and embodying the dissonance between our ideals and how quickly we discard those ideals not out of malice but because we simply don't know poo poo and act erratically yet reliably when presented with new information penetrating a fortress of stable geopolitical and cultural ignorance. There's some pretty salty language that applies to ISIS, but "ignorant" ain't one of the terms. ISIS knows exactly what it is, what its doing and what it's trying to do.

Obama has cheesed me off for various reasons irrelevant to the scope of this thread, but if there's an upshot to his administration its the almost perfunctory and transactional way he's addressing this challenge, trying to stifle the blaze of oxygen and trying to get the thing burnt out of its own accord. He's also tremendously unpopular for it with 75% of the country opposing either because he's killing too many people or too few, which means he's probably hit a nice middle ground of just enough murder for the occasion. But as if to prove on some cosmic level that even if there isn't a God the Universe undeniably has a sense of poetry to it, just as Obama's administration has now defined the literal policies of Ronald Reagan as unconstitutional and mandatory gay national socialism and shifting the terms of "acceptable narrative" accordingly, so has ISIS affected the conversation in the Middle East to be one of breaking at last the borders of their colonial period and realignment along broadly religious and (sort of but not really relatedly) cultural grounds. I sincerely doubt, with their penchant for martyrdom, that ISIS has any real staying power as a territory beyond occupying the negative space between other countries but if the success of a nonstate actor can be judged on their ability to affect discourse then ISIS is running the table with their PR right now.

---

Sorry if that post ranged on a bit, but a picture really is worth a thousand words and ISIS has shot over a thousand hours of footage in at least 720p30, and nearly all their words address the subconscious limbic brain so a conversation about their PR aesthetics in a forum predominated by (mostly) rational written text is going to get a little janky.

And second this post from June 2014 about all the ways the US hosed up in the Middle East:

Willie Tomg posted:

So the US is now attempting to: Arm syrian moderates, disarm syrian immoderates, depose Bashar al Assad, shore up or at least moderate Maliki while trying not to make direct eye contact with Sadr and Sistani and the Badr Brigade which made the latest Shiite cattle call to arms in the Iraqi south, I guess pray and smile at the other countries proximal to the region who have to receive or turn away the refugees from this mess, and implicitly support the actions of the government of Israel because of legacy mandates from generational politics giving EVERYONE involved a concrete reason to despise American foreign policy if the last decade or so wasn't enough to get them off the fence, and implicitly support the actions of the House of Saud for reasons that, impressively, manage to be even dumber since their cadre funds extremists like ISIS and al-Qaeda which, by the way, is the moderate Salafi extremist faction now.


Unless you are comfortable with the deaths of lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of people as the conflict escalates further and further, there is no military solution here that isn't a military funding the construction of a time machine for the sole purpose of obliterating the last twelve years of history largely brought on by military solutions to problems that, today, seem kinda nice to have been having.

I dont believe it can tt make you sicki until I try it. I am blind in onee eye and have a REAL hard time being in any movement object. I once went to the "worlds of fun" in st louie missouri in missouri and when I went there I went on the ride that I told my girlfriend at the time "Hay listen here I need to tell you I get real fckin sick on this shits" and we went ont he gravitron and this negro got stuck to the wall sideays and his hoody was sflapping in the wind and a bunch of everyone was laughign at him the whole time.

After that the ride we went on you had to sit on a persons lap (I dont know if this is legal if you were not in a relationship with this person becuz i got a bonar on her :ohdear:) and it spun REALLY fast and I was like gently caress this and was all wobbling arund like a gay cow afterwards. Then she was like hey loook at a rollercoaster! I was like oh its just a rolelr coast how bad could this be? We got on the rolelr coaster and everyt hing was absolutely fine and I was like hey whee this is fun and then bam the mother gently caress stops dead in its tracks. I look at her and she winks a tme and the THING GOES backwards!! I scream like a sissy watching uncle jesse and the rippers on an episode of full house and everyone is cheering and for a brief mom ent I think I might die here from nauseation. This reminds me of when I went whale watching and when I start to throw up other people start to throw upl ol it wasnt looking good...

I disgree the roller coaster was going backwards and I was scared. So scared. Who makes a roller coaster that goes back wards iand why would you do that?? The "roid from hell" fiinally ends and sae smiles at me and goes "AGAIN" and my mouth just fills with a chicken terikyaki from this morning of vomit and sunchips from subway sandwiches and I push like 8 kids out of the gently caress in way while holding m yhand over my mouth and go into the bathroom and stat vomiting endlessly. It was like 10 vomits. The first vomits didnt even make it to the toilet it made it onto my shoes as I ran away forom that hell device.

I get out of the bathroom and she goes "not feel good?" and I lay down on the bench and then for liek the nex t4 hours I laid there and was unable to move i was so sick. My girlrffriend at the time was super hot and she keep coming back and being like "hay lets do another ride lol" and I would just lie there and bitch about how i am too dizzy to try again. LOOKING BAC ON THIS EVENT I think irt ruined our relationship becuz she realized she isnt a good enouhg caretaker for me come back baby I miss u. (ok, maybe it was me not her hah)

Long story short I went on a fwe more rides after that but this girl in missouri she got in a car wrecked and got amenesia and told me she doesnt have a boyfriend. So we arent together.

Another time i was in hawaii and i Had "jet lag" and I got hit by a wave so hard 9in the ocean it made me puke and I had to go into tjhe hotel for the rest of the day while everyone had a lauau and partied. When I Type these stories I realize how I have hosed up myeentire life. :(

The story where i was in hawai and got hit by the wave that made me throw n up and cry in the hotel from sickness also happened to be we were on the Road To hanna (which is a road in Hawaii one of the deadliest roads probably on that show the wordls deadliest roads) I got sick a few times. I got sick whale watching, I got sick on the road and threw up on my netphrw and then my sister threw uyp lol...my brother got so mad he pulled over and stomped around screaming that we kept puking in the rentalr car. He then got a bee in his mouth while drinkin a soda at the beach the nxt day fucker. Flew right into his mouth I Tell you it was the funniest god thing ive seen ever. Iver never been stung by a bee.

I dnt think they can claim "no one will get sick" until they meet people like me. I went to Mayo LClinic in Scottsdale arizona and they did some 'Neurlogic" breathing tests and I passed out and faintd the lady was like "um you had a sezire?" I dont think I did though.

Hell o I had a problem in two days in a row. I went to a wal marts and both of the times they had no chickens. None of them. There were chickens alright. But there werne the ones I wanted. I asked for fried chicken and the lady said :ohdear: we dont have any chicken :ohdear: and the nxt day the same guy told me they dont have any chicken at the deli. Only wings. Various types, but not fried chicken.

I was driving home and it made me think - what if we ever ran out of chicken? Can it happen?
you really got to think about it though ... htink about how many walmarts tidymans albertsons rosaeurs vons tidymarkets best buys sears costco sams clubs and everythin else that serves chicken ALL of these c-places need ac onstant supply of chicken at all times. AT ALL TIMES the chicken is always coming in ... what if one day we simply run out of chicken?

mncdonalds and burger king and even KFC could have this problem - everyone could run out of chicken. I drove to another suprr market since wal mart didnt have chicken and they didnt have any fried chicken either, only roasted chicken. This made me think maybe roasted chickens and fried chickens are different types of birds? Why would htey have one but not the other? I didnt do any research but I worry about this all day now since I really like chicken.

so could we ever RUN OUT of chicken? like some people wkae up and go "oh gently caress its daylight savings time the ice caps are meltin" but that is just a old wives tale we all know its going to be fuckin hot no mater what because of the sun (dumb asses) but now this is a real perplexing question. I was going to ask the mybhtusters if they could bust this as a myth but then did some more thinkkng and realized this isnt a myth but it is definitely a big deal. If there is enough discussion on the mater I might have to write al eter to ask one of the "big chicken companies" out there what their take is on this ... what if we run out of chicken?



hint: dont try to click into that serach bar its an image of fried chicken I took

He's got quite a lot of quality posts in the Middle-East thread over in D&D, I'd recommend just reading them all.

These would be my two favourites though: first, this effort post about the PR strategy of ISIS:


And second this post from June 2014 about all the ways the US hosed up in the Middle East:

Conceivably, but a) you'd need a lot of vitamin supplements, and b) if you can get hold of enough semen to live on nothing else, you're probably in a position to get enough regular food to survive on. Some studies suggest that a typical ejaculation contains between 1 and 25 calories, and I'd assume it's towards the lower end of that scale. Either way, though, you'd need to suck between 100 and 2500 dicks per day to get enough semen to live on, possibly more considering whatever calories you'd burn in the process of sucking every dick from here to San Francisco. Or you could steal it from a sperm bank, but in that case you might as well steal steaks and lobster from a grocery store.

So that guy at my work ended up being straight, and his Facebook only said interested in men as a joke to his friends would who tease him for not having a girlfriend. He was pretty apologetic about it though and removed it. But now I pretty much totally hate this job. To top off my wonderful day, I ran over a kitten driving home.

As someone who read the entire thing when it was first posted, Willie Tong's analysis of ISIS is exactly as good as, and on the same level as, SuperMechaGodzilla's analyses of contemporary cinema.
