It's ok if some food gets discarded if people have a nice time doing so or don't want to eat it, forcing people to eat food "to not waste it" doesn't fix any of the hunger issues around the world and is very, very bizarre to me Like tons and tons of fat people all over the country and once food is bought / prepared / hits the plate you GOTTA eat it, that's the rules, the sacred food, it is your duty I don't get it / I don't agree

there is a difference between not cramming more food into yourself when you're full so as to clean you plate, and buying an entire extra cake knowing in advance that you're gonna waste it but we all know you will never admit or understand this distinction

If human beings want to celebrate an occasion with some food, they are allowed to do so. Even if the food doesn't get eaten. That's straight up what I'm saying. What about grocers throwing out perfectly fine food? What about manufacturers putting bullshit dates on food precisely so it gets discarded and they sell more? Compared to that this seems super minor to me. So perhaps you can explain the nuanced distinction of why is it not ok to buy a cake with the express intention of not eating it. Starving kids in Africa?

The cake is being bought for the purpose of smashing and entertainment, not eating. How is it wasteful to use a good for the reason they bought it?

yes, all of the stuff you listed is terrible, and this dumbass cake tradition, while minor, contributes to the cultural attitude of "eh" about the massive amounts of food waste we engage in, so it is also bad

sleepwalkers posted:The reason they bought it was to waste food, I think that's the point being expressed. They bought food knowing they were not going to consume said food. It seems like it should be permissible for human beings to engage in such conduct, if they so choose, unless the issue is that these dumbass people are "having fun" defiling the sacred food which must be cherished and eaten and treated lovingly which is such a weird thing We just got through like 200 love language posts and this is a response to the cake story that was just posted so I don't think we're quite in derail town yet [edit]Unironically agree with the sonic pic

To be fair most cakes barely qualify as food if we're looking at it from a nutrition point of view. Still a dumb thing to do.

sorry but if you aren't willing to sacrifice a few cups of flour, some eggs and milk in order to witness an in-person Brazillian Cakefart, why the gently caress even live in a free country? go put yourself in a prison until you realize what you're missing out on.

Most cakes are an egg sponge which is a perfectly valid way to consume calories and is a fantastic way to use preserves for flavoring. Not everything needs to be fiber filled super-food if you know how to moderate yourself.

Frivolously deliberately using food for non-consumption is right up there with such shameful excesses as buying party favors or burning fuel to have pizza delivered.

The actually worst part is that they're probably shouting "Happy Birthday to the face" as they're hurling the cake and then laughing as if it's the best joke ever.

Cake is a necessary evil for the use of surplus eggs. Would you prefer that they smash quiche? That'll cause facial burns and won't help out the local bakery (which are often struggling).

The inability for people to just accept face smashing cakes as the solution to late term capitalism as well as the obesity epidemic are why life expectancy is going down. I'm sure they'd be fine with face smashing a wallmart cake.

Next up for things more important than people: Furniture! I (29f) had chairs that's been in my family since the 1700s. Were literally priceless. Husband (30m) thought he'd do a nice thing and have them cleaned and finished which has ruined them and removed most of the value. I'm sick to my stomach and don't know what to do. quote:I'm almost in a deep clinical depression over this because there's so much loss at hand. I don't think I'm being overly dramatic here, I feel like something beautiful has been forever ruined. Basically I had two chairs that had been in my family since the 1700s. They were among maybe 25-50 surviving pieces that were in 100% original condition with all original hardware and fabric made by a well known Massachusetts furniture maker. My mom actually took them on an early taping of antiques road show and it was one of those moments where the value both in terms of dollars and history brought her and the appraiser to tears. I don't want to say exactly how much but had she sold them at the time, she could have bought a new house. I don't know what they were worth today because I never, ever planned on getting rid of them. I've had authors, academics, well known wood workers, collectors even Hollywood set decorators contact me to study them, take pictures and try to copy the techniques. The dude is dumb as loving poo poo though lmao

Yeah this one is weird I'm [M24] pretty sure that what my girlfriend [26F] of 7 years did counts as cheating, but not certain. quote:I'm just looking for some unbiased opinions. The way this dude describes it is so weird. From the comments: Meets a dude, wants to break up with him, she couldn't because didn't have cell phone, told him as soon as she got back. But he needs it to be cheating so he can bitch about it forever after?

This guy loving sucks Me [35 F] with my 33 husband [M] of 3 years, dating for 8, told me being with me is like a prison. quote:I am 35 and work full time and have a one year old with my 33 year old husband. I am pregnant with our second son who is due in March so the babies will be 16 months apart. I married my husband because I just like hanging out with him. Anything fun I want him around for, whether it's something big or small. And, from a more global perspective, we shared the same goals. I was always neutral about kids but I wanted a good education, career and a nice house, and someone I could enjoy wine with and do house projects with.

Palpek posted:drat, anybody else I could understand but the husband who knew the value of the chairs and their detailed history? Did she marry a complete moron? Like, you can laugh at her being in clinical depression over some chairs or whatever but the reality is that the idiot destroyed items worth a lot of money by giving them to some random shop he found on the internet. They were even insured, any changes dones to the chairs most likely breach the terms so you'd have to really think hard before doing anything to them. I would be pissed blind for some time too. She married the same kinda dude as the goon who did the brilliant bathroom remodel, which in this case owned the poo poo out of her chairs.

Chair woman is also an idiot, if she had multiple solicited offers from museums I'm certain one of them would have taken them on a long term loan being properly cared for and insured instead of having fuckton expensive chairs sitting in her attic waiting to be chewed on by some random animal or having the upholstery degrade.

I’m so angry reading the chair story. Those historical artifacts were literally more meaningful to humanity than anything that moron meatbag of a man would ever do, and if I were on a jury I would refuse to convict that woman for his murder.

On of the lessons I have learned in my decade plus of being a slut is people that are in relationships that cheat or leave them aren't cheating because they just felt so much chemistry with the one person they cheated with or they just happened being in a particular mood that night or they suddenly realized the relationship is over, they have already decided that they are going to leave you or gently caress someone else or both and it has nothing to do with the particular person they cheat with. She was always going to leave him or cheat on him and there was nothing he could do about it, move on, it was over before she sat on the guys cock and nothing was going to change it.
