  • I hate that people are shit and will ruin any economic/political system no matter how high-minded it may have otherwise been.

    Similarly capitalism wouldn’t be a burning pile of diapers and old wigs if those involved didn’t have a complete and total disregard-bordering-on-antipathy for humanity and the common good.



  • Cast iron is to sear the bajesus out of steak. Nothing else can blacken the steak crust to my satisfaction without inadvertently overcooking the middle.

    I hate it for everthing else.

    A tiny cheap teflon pan just for 1-2 fried eggs and nothing else.

    Then SS all-clad as the go-to for everything else.

    Been having good experience with the hexclad teflon pan although handwash only. I believe it is generally disliked because it is marketed as “dishwasher safe” which is absolutely false. When handwashed it holds up very well.

    I suspected this is some historical copypasta that has been canonized and these two are riffing off each other. This is like watch two respected elder masters have a theological debate, except its for the chronically online.

    *ism is just a tool for any aspiring autocrat. Stalin would have been far-right if he saw it as being a valid pathway towards power.

    Effective tyrants are forever pragmatic and never burdened by ideological loyalty.

    A famine caused because of his agricultural reforms such as telling farmers to plant their seeds twice as close together to double yield. Or how about killing all the sparrows who were thought to be pests but actually ate the insects. Then when all the crops fail to roll in after harvest you send goon squads out to bully and arrest farmers for “hoarding food” when in fact the crops failed partly because he enforced these asinine policies.

    Now if they could recognize shits going wrong then that would help but nobody wants to tell Mao he was wrong about some of his “great leap foward” reforms so they just continue to scapegoat and abuse the now starving farmers.

    He did a lot of good things but if your fail to look at the bad things honestly then you are just a fanboy propagandist for autocracy.
