This made me laugh pretty hard.

Yeah if you don’t go to a lot of restaurants and realize the food is mid, you just aren’t good at cooking yet.

High quality restaurants that can beat my cooking exist, and are in every town. I’m not just comparing myself to a Michelin star. Another thing restaurants have over me are deep fryers and other superior cooking equipment, which make food I just can’t make myself.

And I would never deny, the way I make my home cooking taste better than a restaurant is by taking an hour or two to cook the food and being able to buy fresh, small quantity ingredients the day of.

But I mean come on. To your point, people who work in kitchens can make a better meal for themselves at the end of their shift than what they generally serve in a day. Restaurant food is designed for quantity and consistency, that’s about it.

I think it’s the “yes, but” that makes it bad. Implying that the second image makes the first image worse. If it was just the two images side by side it could be interpreted as just an observation.

Say you say?

It does not take very many tries to start cooking better than a restaurant. And the best part is you can make sure that only your favorite ingredients get in there.

After like maybe half a year of cooking for myself a couple times a week (instead of frozen food or like canned food) it’s seriously started to astound me how bad some restaurant food is.

I know take out is mostly for convenience, but if the problem is taste you’re in luck because the bar to clear for tastier food than take out is really really low.

Idk for me this cycle happened because for the first 6 months of work I took my bosses criticisms seriously thinking “holy shit if I keep screwing things up I’m going to get fired.” 2 years on and I realize every threat was completely hollow.

This is an awesome album cover

I thought this was going to be about the lady letting you hit the binky when your cart runs out.

I think almonds use an inordinate amount of water.

Your children are playing in sandboxes that get shit in and pissed in by outdoor cats. Fuck neglectful parents.

To me the point of regular exercise, especially cardio, is that if I run every day, my body simply doesn’t want to eat the unhealthy food. I can’t run if I’ve eaten a sleeve of Oreos that day. And afterwards my body craves hearty, healthy meals and vegetables.

After some research it originated in the movie “half baked” and has been referenced more than once across other stoner films. So the guy’s not completely off his rocker.

Can you name more than one movie where they do this? I’m curious.

Cocaine

Quick ≠ bad

And the last panel just tells you to use cocaine, unrelated.

To point 3, I heard some author point out, and I think it makes a lot of sense, that reading bad writing can maybe tell you what not to do, but there’s so much good writing out there, more than you could read in a lifetime, that it just doesn’t make sense not to read all the best books. If you read in a world of excellent writing your standards are that high and you can still take lessons from the worst of the best.

Yeah the take plays against their point and into the hands of fascists. A common retort from “capitalists” goes “well why doesn’t your economic system compete on the free market? If it’s so good it will rise to the top.” You believing your ideology will defacto rise from a blank slate after society collapses lends credence to that argument. (Which is flawed in so many ways)

No! It’s the people who don’t want their country invaded who are wrong!

Isn’t not reading a response because you think your view is de-facto correct the definition of petty?
