Wat?

Isn’t the myth that Zeus finds out and chains him to a rock, cursing him to be visited by an eagle every morning to eat his liver which, being immortal, will regrow every night, thus subjecting him to eternal torment?

Am I missing some reference here?

I can’t even picture the apple, much less make it do something.

Y’all who have pictures in your heads are fucking weird. /j

No, I don’t have to but, considering the topic, it was relevant to the situation.

TSA exists the way it does in the USA specifically to assuage the fears of rich white people who travel for pleasure and getting them to fly again after the events of 9/11 which had a significant impact on the airline industry, seeing a significant decline in passengers, thus a decline in industry revenue.

You also don’t have to keep your head in the sand about the way the world works with every conversation you find yourself in.

Now, piss off.

Security theater to assuage the public’s (scared, rich, white people) fears after hyping up the threat of foreign terrorism.

Essentially, the establishment made a booboo and hurt the airline industry’s bottom line in their efforts to destabilize the Middle East. So, they devised a sideshow circus to get people flying again.

It isn’t even about jobs. They never gave a shit about jobs. It’s always about the money.

Sexualizing mosquitoes by giving them giant tits is kinda creepy, bruh.

Or just how much we are now capable of producing with industrialization.

The opening passage to Kropotkin’s “Conquest of Bread”

During the long succession of agitated ages which have elapsed since, mankind has nevertheless amassed untold treasures. It has cleared the land, dried the marshes, hewn down forests, made roads, pierced mountains; it has been building, inventing, observing, reasoning; it has created a complex machinery, wrested her secrets from Nature, and finally it pressed steam and electricity into its service. And the result is, that now the child of the civilized man finds at its birth, ready for its use, an immense capital accumulated by those who have gone before him. And this capital enables man to acquire, merely by his own labour combined with the labour of others, riches surpassing the dreams of the fairy tales of the Thousand and One Nights. / The soil is cleared to a great extent, fit for the reception of the best seeds, ready to give a rich return for the skill and labour spent upon it—a return more than sufficient for all the wants of humanity. The methods of rational cultivation are known. On the wide prairies of America each hundred men, with the aid of powerful machinery, can produce in a few months enough wheat to maintain ten thousand people for a whole year. And where man wishes to double his produce, to treble it, to multiply it a hundred-fold, he makes the soil, gives to each plant the requisite care, and thus obtains enormous returns. While the hunter of old had to scour fifty or sixty square miles to find food for his family, the civilized man supports his household, with far less pains, and far more certainty, on a thousandth part of that space. Climate is no longer an obstacle. When the sun fails, man replaces it by artificial heat; and we see the coming of a time when artificial light also will be used to stimulate vegetation. Meanwhile, by the use of glass and hot water pipes, man renders a given space ten and fifty times more productive than it was in its natural state.

That is a sharpener, and a really shitty one at that. Those legit suck and ruin an edge. They work “fine” for at home cooking, but the way they create the edge, running parallel to the knife itself instead of perpendicular like a regular whetstone, makes the edge incredibly weak. It will start to dull after only a few cuts.

Honing doesn’t take off material from the blade itself, simply removes any burs of metal that have formed to prevent them from dulling the edge ( unless using a fancy ceramic or diamond dust one, then they will have a small sharpening effect) and bring the edge back into alignment.

Sharpening is the only thing that removes material from the blade itself due to using materials that are harder than the blade. Even cheap knives are made of stainless steel, which is what a regular honing rod is made from, so they won’t be doing any damage to the blade unless you’re being incredibly rough, which you should not be rough at all, so yea…

That’s a great way to cut the lifespan of your knife in half if you are actually sharpening and not just honing it before every use (which everyone should be doing); especially if you’re using it for your career and not just at-home.

That’s a lot of wasted time and effort, particularly if you are getting it actually sharp and not simply “sharp enough”. A good set of knives can last a lifetime and keep its edge for months if taken care of.

I would not trust the advice of that “chef”.

No chef worth their salt would ever drop their knife like that. Most chefs I knew would treat their knives better than their children. Those things are expensive as fuck.

Yea. Those types don’t just exist on TV, they are everyday people in our communities for some of us. To just say they aren’t “normal” erases the lived experiences of those who live where these mentalities are still very much the norm for that locality.

Yea, this is definitely attempted murder by a road-raging loon but, a terrorist attack, this is not.

There is no such thing as illegal people.

Fuck anyone who tries to say otherwise. If an authority tries to make people illegal, then people have a moral obligation to oppose that authority.

From Hell in a Cell to a cell in Hell.

Rest in Piss Terry.

Beat me to it.

I mean … Okay but why mention it in this context? The post is trying to use it as a negative. So just correcting that he has a woman he is related to who has been seen naked comes off as still trying to say it’s something that one should be ashamed of.

It just feels like the wrong thing about this post to bring attention to without clarifying why one doing so.

Pretty much this. There are people with certain interests that benefit from current events. It is simply that acquiring those benefits do not require them to meet any of the consequences due to how we have structured our society. The way it is now, there exist layer upon layer of various degrees of separation between the person making the decision and the actual consequences from that decision.

Literally the same premise as the OP but presented with much better, more nuanced rhetoric that’s actually reasonable instead of “dumb person wishes for for obviously bad thing for no reason other than because they are dumb”
