Guy who doesn't think landlords are political.
my test for political wackos of all stripes is the Dinner Party Test: if I invited you to a dinner party full of your Hated Non-Political Demographic (queers, evangelicals, Asians, landlords, w/e) could you be a polite, gracious guest who is a pleasure to have over?.

Part of my job is housecleaning. Most clients are on a biweekly schedule, occasionally monthly, and a few are weekly. Regardless of the schedule, I only find it odd when they keep the place clean to the point that I have to search out dirty areas.
i’m interested in what the spectrum is here. like obviously hiring a babysitter sometimes isn’t gauche, but having a live in au pair probably is. is it more acceptable to have a once a week cleaner than a full time maid? what about gardeners? where is the line?.

Crazy to blame the cyclists when the van is crossing the intersection while someone is using the crosswalk.
Why are cyclists so fucking stupid.

she's not equating social awkwardness with autism btw. feels obvious.
People need to realize that unless u are severely (like non verbal) autistic, being “socially awkward” is something you can fix with practice. Social skills are like any skills: some people are born w natural ability, most people have to learn thru practice.

Ultimately what I'm getting at is that some people will just throw out a half pint of cream because they used it for whatever dish and so its cost is effectively dedicated to one meal.

When I buy ingredients it is often to make specific dishes and so my leftover ingredients are made aimless without the cohesive meal I bought them for. Meaning they're at risk of waste, inflating the cost of the dish, or more ideally I just make a larger batch and eat leftovers.

What I think is really worth observing is how cooking from scratch like this can end up being expensive because people like that (that is to say, like me) aren't always planning their meals to have tons of shared ingredients which does instill this greater sense of cost.

Although it's worth noting that for that $45 I will have plenty of leftover ingredients to be able to make the dish a second or even third time. Also making a vodka sauce with just tomato paste is stupid.

My stake in this discourse is that it's more expensive to eat at home than most people think if you're making meals from scratch like this, but generally not more than eating out. I decided to look up the cost of these ingredients and came to about $45, so $60 isn't extreme.
you guys are pouring prego sauce over noodles and frozen meatball and calling that dinner and you're mad at me cuz im frying up italian sausage, cooking down down shallots and garlic, browning tomato paste, deglazing with vodka and adding heavy cream and parm.

Saying something like this is such an obvious tell that you've never done either of these jobs or even know anyone who has.
restaurant workers are exploited pretty much the same amount and to the same extent that DoorDash drivers are, right? how are they justifying eating at restaurants if they're this puritanical about "supporting exploitation of workers by using those services"???.
