Xaris posted:lmfao I haven’t seen these. I liked bourdain, at least up to paying off the rape case. no reeevations and stuff was genuinely very good and he did hate rich food snobbery and western elitism and fetishization which was good I admire people who live by their principles--even when I don't agree with them. I don't much like communism, particularly the soul crushing evil done in its name through much of history, but I have a romantic's soft spot for an old Bolshie who took to the hills as a young man, believed in their heart that they were liberating their people from oppression (particularly if whoever they were fighting against was a uniquely bad bastard). Perhaps this will explain my visceral loathing for Daniel Ortega--seemingly the President For Life of Nicaragua, a guy who, clearly, has two sets of principles. One for the Nicaraguan people--and one for himself. My detestation of Nicaragua's Maximum Leader is exceeded only by my admiration for its people who deserve so much better.

I tend to look at the world, still, from the point of view of a restaurant guy--a small business owner. Right? Left? I don't care. I look at "leaders" as if they were managers of my restaurant. I go away for four years and come back. If my business has gotten inexplicably worse, I have fewer customers, the neighbors are pissed, my employees unhappy and there's money inexplicably missing from the till, I call that a bad leader. I don't know if that's politics or simple good sense.

Best Friends posted:One of the things that stuck with me after reading that book was the sheer number of women executed for infanticide until it hit me, oh, that was SIDS + malnutrition I just read a thesis on witchcraft and misogyny and basically if you were in Germany or similarly crazed countries in the height of the witch craze if your baby died and you were vulnerable enough, instant branding as a witch. That and if you were an ild lady, because they were too gross to gently caress (to paraphrase the writer of that famous witchcraft manual that us responsible for more direct deaths than Mein Kampf).

I've seen a few clips of him on a kids competition show (idk if it was an episode of his main show or a spinoff) but he seemed to be very kind and compassionate to the kids in a way that was endearing and made me think "oh the blustery bombastic poo poo is just a hook"

Gumball Gumption posted:Americans are pigs who want to be screaming at and never screamed at. They just have not figured out how to have the first without the second. i disagree, i think that our deep self-obsession includes hatred of that self and people seek out conflicts to have other people "confirm" their own worst thoughts about themselves. they want to be yelled at, because in a way, it's the same as being told "you were right (when you said those mean things about yourself)".

Frosted Flake posted:Someone in the Epstein Thread posted a fascinating book that suggested the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, manifesting as Borderline Personality Disorder, and filtered through a religious worldview, presented as “witchcraft”. There were some sources that suggested communities basically didn’t know how to handle women who described sexual abuse and presented with BPD, since they’d be talking about sex and the devil or whatever. people who've been harmed from abuse originating from societal patriarchy turning to constructs hidden from societal patriarchy makes a lot of sense on its own tbh. never thought of that before the substance use and non-patriarchal rituals would also be more appealing as basically coping and self medication, a counterculture redrawing what matters to make it not have the negative associations their contemporary society, the church etc would have as the source of the abuse i doubt it'd be the only factor, but it makes sense as a large one that would build the core of the group bc it'd have to be a major motivator to get people to risk association when the penalty was usually a horrible death. schizotypal or schizophrenic people don't deviate in groups like that without a reason, they'll just go off on their own or go extra on what's already there. qanon as a modern example of a group counterculture that magnetically draws in mental illness, it needed a real-world catalyst to start from also makes sense why ppl practicing witchcraft would have valid cause for some poisoning of people If seen as a response to abuse and oppression id assume there's also some repressed beliefs and practices mixed in too but that wouldn't be a strong enough draw to build groups, only maintain them, people wouldn't risk interest in something you'll get killed and excommunicated for being associated with out of sheer curiosity

I know he's probably on some super-high macro level of leadership (or maybe just licensing out his name for others to use as branding), but still. He's always doing something away from an actual restaurant kitchen now.

his current big show Hell's Kitchen is a reality tv competition where the winner gets a job as the head chef at one of his restaurants so i assume he's got a self-sustaining gig just putting his name on stuff now i respect it in a way, he's got a system figured out

Sort of related, the Bar Rescue episodes during COVID are very different from before. Barely any yelling, if any at all, in the COVID episodes and I find them much more enjoyable.
