The Nastier Nate posted:if you have to drench something in butter to make it edible its not that good You don't have to drench lobster in butter. Fresh caught, cooked just before eating lobster is very expensive unless you live in the right coastal areas, and it's nothing like what 99% of the working class has eaten elsewhere.

hobbesmaster posted:we visited family in Maine growing up a lot and honestly I think lobster is overrated by a lot. I think lobster rolls are actually the best way to serve it, but I’ve always found it kinda meh Yeah it's overrated, and it's too expensive, but it def doesn't need to be drenched in fat. And maybe Australian lobster (crayfish) is very different, but I'll never forget the sweetness from eating a cray cooked on the pier after it came off a boat in Tasmania.

Professor Shark posted:We learned how to make food just as good There's some specialized stuff that I don't want in my apartment home but are nice to get elsewhere sometimes e.g. wok burners, deep fryers, smokers. These lend themselves to takeout just fine, though. One thing I'm really glad I got at home and no longer go out for, is a portable stove top and a ying-yang hotpot pot. Hotpot at home is so much better.

Azathoth posted:I've done phone tech support for a good long while, and even in our relatively low stress call center we still have people who quit because they can't handle it. For us it's mostly just people being rude or snippy, actual blowups are rare, and some people just can't even deal with that. I cannot imagine the kind of responses that someone would get in that kind of job and it definitely doesn't surprise me to hear that it would legit scar someone. I did dialup tech support and payphone support for the public, and as a white man I copped the least, and yeah mostly it's rudeness and sometimes yelling out of frustration, but my fellow workers also received sexism and racism on top. Heaven help you if you had a feminine voice with an accent. I think another stress factor was management and team leaders pushing you hard to be on Available and taking as many calls as possible. If you were on Unavailable for too long someone called you to ask why and go back in. You're taking too long but also you're not fixing enough, stressful. Payphone support was awful, but sometimes rewarding helping someone out of a jam. collections would have been brutal. And I realize now I'm loving old because payphones and dialup lol Bald Stalin has issued a correction as of 02:31 on Jun 5, 2023 |

In my late 20s I talked to some sort of screening-pysch at Kaiser, about how I felt I drinking too much, was sad, and wanted to speak with a therapist. She told me I wasn't drinking too much, that the way I felt wasn't unusual and that was the end of that. Kaiser is garbage at everything except keeping you a somewhat productive worker, until the $ outweighs the benefits and they just let you go.

Frog Act posted:it’s pretty weird they rarely talk about abstract things or try to push a particular company narrative about their virtuosity, but not because of an absence of cynicism, I think it just doesn’t occur to them because they’re all bourgeois true believers and since the Mission is indeed something with real social utility being executed in a more inclusive and effective way than it’s antecedents, that gives them a kind of mental blank check to overwrite and ignore all of their obvious misdeeds despite the obvious reality that they continue to enrich themselves, just according to different expectations than the pervert MBAs that run similar for profit institutions Charity for charitys sake, but incentivized to increase your own salary. I know a few people that work in NFP, not even as leaders getting paid good money they're the underpaid real workers, and they really don't like socialism. Root cause analysis and root cause fixes don't get much airplay in their heads despite being some of the most informed about the symptoms in their areas. Couple of comrades came with me to a public open mic with our states NFP tenant support org, to inject some covert class analysis and socialist talking points. Their media liaison literally said, right after admitting they're funded to be only be able to help 10% of the tenants coming in, and I quote "we need better landlords".

They'd also have a better one and a better quality of life, if they're a regular worker and not one of the execs. But yeh. Imagine being out of a job where you have to tell people how you can only help 1 in 10 of the people that are exploited by their landlord. The horror.
