Look at what they took from us (it was our cheeseburgers and ice cream. They took it.) : chapotraphouse

[–] NinaPasadena@hexbear.net 92 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Besides it being pathetic to complain about this it's also false. They didn't take that away. You can go eat it right fuckin now if you want. As mentioned go buy a coke and then make burgers and fries to your specification. No law saying fry your potatoes in seed oil. Just the law of business saying it's cheaper.

Anyone who says they can't possibly make fries or burger at home as good as a restaurants is lying or pathetic. They could. It might indeed take effort and work to learn how if you've never bothered to cook for yourself before but don't these fuckin dorks wax poetic about bootstraps and hard work. Pick up a knife and learn to make fry if it's so culturally magnificent.

Or go out to any burger restaurant. I guarantee there's one nearby. If all the good local ones have closed and been replaced with McDonald's or some shit... Tough that freedom America for you bb. Anyway just move to better burger town. Vote with your wallet or whatever. Oh no that's too much effort also.

As always boils down to pure patheticness. They endlessly want to critique burger not weild it.

At the end of the day, what they want isn’t the ice cream float or burger or fries. What they want is for the modern burger joint experience to feel like the vision of mid-20th century diners they have in their head. They want to go to Johnny Rockets and have it be this whole, authentic Americana and not a soulless plastic simulacrum of a classic diner. Of course, they can never get that because that vision is all boomer nostalgia and marketing; as conservatives tend to do, they yearn for a past that never really existed. So they continuously look for scapegoats to blame for why the burger makes them feel empty.

they want a segregated diner

[–] NinaPasadena@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh ya they want to feel like they felt (or just how they think they felt) as children. Joy and happiness came easy then. I also love going to a classic diner. Eat something tasty yum yum. That's not enough for them of course. The diner won't be good enough unless it literally transforms them into children when they enter.

You are right that it's a feeling they crave and instead of realizing that feeling is no longer available to them and seeking new experiences they crash out and cry about seed oil. Pathetic.

all that stoicism and they still can't handle growing older

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

I mean, aging is a pretty tough thing to handle, but being this existential about burgers being cooked differently while blaming the Jews or whatever is much sillier.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Peter Pan syndrome will always be a pipeline to fascism. Look at boomers, a generation that wants to LARP as perpetual 20-somethings forever and never retire, let alone make room for more people.

A key part of the treatlerite fantasy is that somebody else does this part for you.

[–] NinaPasadena@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Absolutely and I will never tire of pointing out to them how pathetic that is. I'm an adult and I'm great at adult things like being able to cook for myself. They are babies and their (lack of) skills is part of the proof.

Guess leftists just built different. We can do things for ourselves unlike those coddled tallow bois

This is 90% of the justification of AI art. "I want the joy of creative expression but not any of the struggle of learning a creative skill!"

[–] NinaPasadena@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Not wrong and unfortunately for them the computer can't even pretend to make borger yet. Once I saw a robot barista. Like after every few drinks a guy had to come over and tinker with it. Get a cup unstuck. Clean spilled milk. Etc. Like sweet you just made the most expensive shittiest latte over ever seen.

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It's the ultimate tragedy of wealth imo. Not that I feel particularly bad for rich people, but having your every want catered to can ruins you as a person as surely as being deprived of necessities can. The rich aren't lizard people, they're incomplete people, and the American Dream is to position yourself well enough within the imperial extraction machine that you too can afford to let your personhood atrophy.

[–] NinaPasadena@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It really does seem true. The richest people I've ever interacted with were most notably boring. Talking to them was like talking to a statue. No thoughts.

And these aren't even ultra wealthy business ghouls just like a guy who I went to college with who happened to make like a few million via lucky crypto bets. He'd lost all personality from when I talked with him in college.

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's even more pathetic. Imagine being able to do whatever you want, have time for hobbies and books and to learn whatever at your own pace, and just waste it becoming a 🥔

The liberals are turning the frogs gay so they cook my burgers with seed oil.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It took me a while to learn to cook good enough to like it better than eating out. I don't have anything else to contribute but agreement. Also restaurants get the luxury of hiding how much fat, sugar, and salt they give you because you'd probably never do that when you're cooking for yourself and that makes it tougher. Everybody wants to eat borger, but nobody wants to marinate no heavy ass oils

[–] NinaPasadena@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ya definitely not saying cooking is easy or trivial. I love doing it and I'm very good at it but that's because I do it all the time and put in effort. Even I go to restaurants sometimes for food I haven't learned to cook... or even for food I could cook but like the restaurants version of. So I don't precisely blame someone for wanting a food but not wanting to make it for whatever reason...

However if you wax poetic about the perfection of burger and it's intrinsic value to your cultural identity I'd assume it's important enough to you to try. Especially if your next post is normal chud shit about getting a job and working hard etc etc.

And ya I think you are 100% right about restaurants having the luxury of adding lots of salt and fat and such. Or perhaps it's a luxury restaurants provide to guests... blissful ignorance. It is something you learn when you start cooking. Wait I have to add how much fuckin spice to this? How much sugarrrr??

Most people definitely do not add enough. I'm always doubling spice levels in anything I cook from rando recipes online. Gotta fuckin adddddd that flavor bb and Americans love adding half a teaspoon of black pepper to a pot of soup and calling it a day.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Again, just musing on the point to socialize:

There was some guy Joshua Weissman was talking to who went around to all these diners and studied the food science for what makes a good burger and published a book on it. That's an interesting enough thing. If Amerikkka has a culture that's positive then surely that knowledge is part of it.

And to your last point about people eating flavorless slop I remember asking about what rich people eat that makes them make such weird faces when eating corn dogs or whatever and someone explained to me how it's probably not that they're eating at all these high end restaurants but rather that it's probably more like flavorless gruel - the plain corn soups of the world. So for many of them it's not that they siphon everything so that they covet the nice things in life, but rather they paint the world into gray nightmare fuel in their own image

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Every time I've ever eaten rich people food it has always been grey flavourless slop, so you might be onto something there.

Every Twitter nazi is a Republican Brian Griffin, like down to Quagmire’s roast and everything.

gigachad : “what really bothers me is you pretend you're this deep guy who loves western culture and seeks a strengthening of souls when all you do is whine for special treatment from inbred aristocrats. Yeah, I’m a sinful hedonist but at least I'm honest about it. I don't wax poetics to jerk myself off online and then lecture Twitter with some seventh grade interpretation of how Ceasar from Fallout is some profound, suave mastermind. He wasn't! He was a spoiled brat! And that's why you like him so much...he's you! God, you're pretentious!”

What have you white suburbanites done for American culture? The prep aesthetic? Japan had to do all the heavy lifting to make it cool for you. Black culture, Jewish culture, immigrant culture, and LGBT culture is responsible for everything worth a damn in this hellhole. Sit down, princess. Stick to memes.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 40 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's supposed to be bad for you because we didn't evolve to process it or something

Personally, i think eating only fried food is bad for you regardless of whatever grease you use

But whatever, clog those arteries with tallow

Best part is they didn't quote the Iliad, they quoted the Brad Pitt Iliad movie. Those lines, and even that sentiment, aren't in the poem.
