The main argument on restaurants I saw is that sit-down, table-service restaurants (as opposed to, say, food stalls and cafeterias) are only an economically viable business model for mass consumption (as opposed to an extreme and unusual luxury) thanks to colossal labour exploitation, and the same may apply to other service-economy luxuries that we presently take for granted. I'm prepared to accept that the people who are familiar with the industry and have done the relevant maths might know what they're talking about on that one. Some industries have exploitation baked in to the point where they're unreformable - see also, tuna fishing.

I recommend everyone watch Boiling Point which is a fantastic single-shot film featuring the king Stephen Graham as head chef in a restaurant on an incredibly stressful night. I think it really hammers this point home about how poo poo the service industry is even in a fancyish restaurant, as well as being an accomplishment of a film

Giants Causeway is very ironically much smaller than you would expect but it's quite nice on a nice day. Plus that ropebridge a few miles away that keeps getting sabotaged by local youngsters lol

Also rather than "even in a fancy restaurant" it seems that fancy restaurants are *especially* poo poo to their staff.

Yeah probably right, well maybe fastfood and high-end are the worst, but the in-between might be a bit more chill

I thought the film was good but not great. I knew pretty much exactly where it was going but it got there fairly well. I am not sure that the one-shot wasn't just a gimmick - I don't know how it necessarily added to the story.

It's the kind of thing that I reflexively assume is going to be gimmicky but for me the form really complemented the content - I was stressed as hell for the whole thing about how they were keeping the whole production going, which is the point. Doesn't have to work for everyone

One of the claims that "wog" wasn't slur because it was "Western Oriented Gentleman" - a term that has never been used seriously and is clearly trying to pretend it isn't more likely to be from gollywog. Which I only bothered to learn today is from golly + pollywog, a pollywog being another name for a tadpole, meaning "wiggly head."

So technically 'wog' means wiggle/wiggly. I guess that does rhyme with the main racial slur those kinds like to use.

The Wiggles, deeply problematic
