    All time favorite history moment.

    The equivalent of the tech executive becoming a goat farmer. Or Marco Pierre white walking away from his Michelin stars.

    Always loved the human experience of “wait what the fuck am I really doing” and getting back to basics.

        What I’ve seen having been married to a chef is a lot of people who are good enough to be renowned are deeply, insanely passionate about cooking. That passion is often not fed by making technically correct tweazer food it is fed by making people happy. Hard to find a happier crowd than the drunk people fucking up the best burger they’ve had in their life for $5

            And Pig, yes. Both those movies are great if you’ve been exposed to the industry because of how close they are in so many aspects

    I think this will be an unpopular opinion (so be it), but I have a real love-hate relationship with posts like this.

    The history is fun and fascinating and I’m glad to learn something new and interesting, but the wojak macros add nothing at all for me. They only remind me of the heavily prejudiced and hateful shit that was churned out by 4chan for more than a decade as the internet’s meme machine.

      A bit like the word queer, I think wojacks and Pepe the frog have been taken back from them which is a good thing.

    On one hand: World peace forever

    On the other hand: cabbage

    Tough choice.
