@glitchshay This is so funny because food stands are OLDER than sit down restaurants. They existed in fucking medieval times and this movie acts as if McDonalds invented the idea.
English
“What’s this?”
“Your food!”
“No, no. I just ordered.”
“And now it’s here!”
“You sure…? Alright… Where are the- um… You know, the silverware and plates and everything?”
“You just eat it straight out of the wrapper and then you throw it all out!”
English
@jhal9000 Food really is a logical starting place to decommodify society
English
@jhal9000 I fully support a variety of local initiative food options. The past century has shown there is little profit in food. McDonald's is a real estate venture, grocery chains profit from scale and vertical integration of production and distribution, small restaurants rarely last.
English
this sort of take will never not be funny because the entire argument is that cooking is most efficient when there are economies of scale, which an atomized society divided by capitalism cannot hope to achieve. in other words, down with the capitalists! cafeterias for all!

Panda's food cost on that plate is around $3. They sell it to you for ~$11. If you tried to make it at home you probably spent $15 on ingredients and an hour of your life to lose this race. Here's why the scale math is brutal. Panda buys boneless chicken thighs at wholesale: around $2/lb, sometimes less on contract. The same cut at your grocery store runs $3-5/lb. You're paying a 2x retail markup before you've turned on the stove. Then stack the ingredient tax. Orange chicken at home needs cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, orange juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and frying oil. Each bottle costs $3-8. You use a tablespoon of each and toss the rest a year later. Panda buys these inputs in drums and the per-plate seasoning cost rounds to zero. Labor is where the comparison breaks. A Panda cook plates 200-300 entrees per shift. Marginal labor is ~90 seconds at ~$18/hr, so about $0.50 of labor per tray. You spent 45 minutes on yours. At any honest hourly rate, the time cost more than the meal. Panda sells 115 million pounds of orange chicken a year. At that volume, they're functionally a food manufacturer with 2,400 retail outlets. The plate is the last step in a commodities pipeline. A chain running 90-second wok labor on commodity chicken beats your home kitchen every time. That's the whole business.

@retardedthikk @ASFleischman This is one more thing that Marx did in fact consider .

@ASFleischman Genuinely no idea how they plan to enact a revolution of the proletariat when the only workers that I have ever met that agree with them are completely uninvolved in production, ie. customer service and retail workers. What "means of production" will they seize?
English
Communists can't ever decide what the proletariat is because it would require specifying a group of people who have a job and agree with them

Liberals will literally look at you with a straight face and say "proletariat means poor"

@thocpodcast I'm not saying I love the list of ingredients but that's the reality
English
@thocpodcast If those dough stabilizers and improvisers weren't there the tortillas would be inedible slabs of hard tack by the time they got to the local Chipotle
English
Because it goes only one step short of writing out every single type of molecular combination present in a stacked, drawn out list of compounding parenthetical lists.

Why does a chicken burrito have an ingredient list so long it would take an hour to read?
English
@atownbrown08 Oh sure. There's no accounting for people's bad taste
English
@Rogpod13 And yet he went to a chain restaurant. Willingly.
Must not value his time enough.

@jimbobie123 @jake_doubleyoo I read IT twice for some idiot reason and had this exact response.
English
@jake_doubleyoo I read the stand and sat there for an hour thinking of all the time I wasted.
English
I read the entirety of The Stand wondering when this shit was gonna happen
English
@ajjordanphoto Because we watched our parents die in horrible ways and got tired of this shit
English
@sbirlios Marx makes a footnote about this in the early pages of Capital Vol I. His model capitalist is a good guy and a patron of the RSPCA. it's the relationship not the person.
English
My boss is probably the single biggest antagonist in my life atm which is wild because I'm almost certain that she sincerely likes me a lot.
English
@yacineMTB It's not about god so much as the disgust associated with pork. That stuff is hard to shake. As well pork is bad on the GI tract if you never eat it.
English
@arshia__ I get this though. When people who never eat pork have some it causes havoc on their GI tract. As far as alcohol goes it's not my place to tell others how to do their religion
English
thinking of when in college i saw a muslim girl ask if the jello shots they were passing around at a house party were made with pork gelatin... i hope she’s thriving <3
kache@yacineMTB
Insane meeting Muslims that don't eat pork but drink beer. I feel like that's worse than just eating pork and drinking beer instead of pretending. You think you can trick god?
English
@alleria_eh @ProfessorPop3ye I get your point but homelessness, as a condition of poverty, is fairly recent. I've spoken with DTES advocates and they will say the same. We'd both agree that there are visible and invisible kinds of homelessness but both are increasing today
English
@ProfessorPop3ye No. I'm just aware that poverty has always existed but it was swept under the rug before.
English
There is always homeless people. You just never saw them before now
Cass Blackburn@FiftyFootNest
Friends, this picture was taken today in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, a rural town of 5000. There were NO homeless in GF prior to 2015. No one sleeping on the sidewalk. This new reality is entirely the fault of our Liberal government. Canada is being destroyed bit by bit.

@adropboxspace @MobyDickSpoiler Probably Cloverdale and he gets mad if you point out that it's in Surrey.
English
@MobyDickSpoiler isnt he from langley or some other outter suburb? of course hes mad he cant live closer to the city

I am confused over what exactly is supposed to be bad here?

@katyaaeliza You're having a normal conversation and suddenly you find yourself in Letterkenny.

As a Canadian what does this mean
gnomercy@guhnomercy
best part of having a canadian gf is when she does The Voice
English
@stephen_taylor In Canada she has access to a publicly funded single payer health care system. Vampires such as yourself are trying to dismantle it but it is still superior to the US systems.

In Canada, the maid gets MAiD.

Everything about this should be studied.

@Srirachachau Genuinely what the fuck is that slice on the left

lol remember like a few weeks ago when they were pushing all those videos of soldiers eating lobster before they were deployed

A recent meal aboard the Lincoln CSG, fighting for months off the coast of Iran. Sailors reportedly say ships in the region have been rationing food supplies as the deployment wears on -USA Today

@christian777788 @kafkandthewhore Your satire sucks and you should be ashamed of this tweet

@Timiii360 I would happily do things to both of these men that are illegal in most countries
