the scapegoating of "panic buyers" and "hoarders" is an interesting feature of this whole coverage, because they're sort of nebulous terms and it's basically placing the blame on ordinary people for being worried about food insecurity at a time when everything's in disarray and they could be confined to their homes for weeks with no guarantee they'll be able to get food delivered and no sign that the government has given this much thought like no poo poo people are panicking, it's a loving pandemic and everyone in charge of dealing with it is asleep at the wheel, a bit of panic is pretty justifiable in the circumstances (even if it's not helpful) also an observer article summing up what we already knew about why the west is stupid and arrogant, and East Asia will inherit the world

Yes, it's an unspiced, unsauced meal, widely consumed among the English or Irish working classes in the past few hundred years, as they were squeezed by landlord desire for cash crops, then hammered by rationing.

Chill out, it's just a really poo poo colour of chicken, you can cook it much better incredibly easily for no extra cost.

Vitamin P posted:Like the argument of X funds the contruction of Y, Y existing is good so X claiming some excess profit from Y after their investment is legit morally sound, I've never had a problem with the basic concept. But between mass financialisation, rentierism, lack of social housing builds and the broader lack of action on costs of living vs wages there isn't any moral or intellectual justification for the continued existence of landlordism as it currently functions. These people are human filth. It's literal parasites causing a tremendous amount of pain to people that are their objective value creation and moral superiors, it's grotesque and inefficient and it can't continue. I really hope there emerges a humane way to deal with the landlord issue.

Nobody actually starving makes a meal that looks like the aspic hell cookbook.

Does the landlord realise if he evicts all of his tenants, and 2.5 million people have become recently unemployed, he will be defaulting on his mortgages?

pumpinglemma posted:Those carrots look steamed to me. Since when is it a working-class thing to buy a dedicated piece of cookware to make vegetables taste worse and blander than they would have done roasted, fried, or cooked in any other way including raw? Looks boiled to me. That's just a pan and water. Might even be the same pan as the peas and potatoes.

This isn't a class thing, the working class would have the decency to at least pour some gravy on it. Even thinking about eating that without the gravy is a daily mail act of middle class cultural terrorism.

Was walking home from picking up the wife's prescriptions and I walked past a couple standing at the end of a driveway. I noticed a giant bag of loo roll and some shopping propped up against the door, as I was passing an elderly lady in a pink dressing gown answered and looked delighted and surprised, the couple stayed at the end of the driveway saying "don't bother coming out we just thought you might some supplies mum" and I thought "aww that's nice" 3 seconds later an elderly gent barreled out, walked straight upto them and started shaking hands saying thanks for the gifts and would they like to stay for tea.  E: some light reading before bed. Jesus Christ. I'm never going to go outside again. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/03/lung-fluids-coronavirus/ Mebh fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Mar 22, 2020 |

Found this linked to in a tweet, it's a spreadsheet of UK businesses and their actions (good or bad) during this crisis: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fEedCEuymNYlzkHdcEhymNkBO451FgVx84k5Fwpv9P8/edit#gid=0 Also, anyone who was planning to go to Concentric over the Easter weekend it has now definitely been cancelled. I guess we knew this was coming but until the govt finally got its finger out on Friday, they couldn't cancel it (insurance). Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Mar 22, 2020 |

Mr Phillby posted:Love the implication that its only really gotten serious in the past three days, who could have known????? If you mean the Concentric decision, like a lot of things, until the govt got their fingers out, then cancellation by the hotel or the organisation would mean them being unable to call on their insurance and we're talking a LOT of money. They have kept people informed and noone will have been under any illusion that it was really going to go ahead. Typically around 800-1000 people attend the eastercon and will have paid something like £80 each to attend + hotel room bookings, and there would be hire of all the conference rooms etc. too. At least now the hotel and conference may be able to claim on insurance.

I'd also fry the chicken in the lurpak too if it was me cooking it but I can do boiled if needs be. Person eating it might be diabetic. Also mash the spuds and put more butter in them.

Like why would anyone have taken a picture of that chicken meal? It seems must likely someone deliberately cooked it like that and staged the whole thing to take the piss out of poor uncultured people or whatever the gently caress I dunno? Not too dissimilar to most every evening meal I had before I left home.

Been up all night, so decided to pop along to the shops and get some milk. Poked my head in the freezer section, and the only pizzas left untouched were the ham and pineapple. I think it's an omen.
