I hate myself for it too

have you thought about getting a cooking degree

be a chef

you can afford it now right

I enjoy cooking, was a breakfast cook for about six months, but baking is all the real experience I have unfortunately. I'm going to work on improving my outlook and bide my time to see if a management job comes up some place. They do often here.

if not, I can always get hired at one of the big bakeries in town.

I'm not really concerned about being hired as much as finding an optimal position. I'm tired of settling

ILDJARN EATS DUMB PEOPLE

@vry_o ANYTIME YOU THINK SUBWAY SUCKS, CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVES

I AGREE ON NOT SETTLING

@The Enlightened Shepherd BLACK METAL GOT URBANIZED, HILARIOUSLY, BUT ITS ROOTS WERE MOST LIKELY IN THE BURBS

VARG, EMPEROR, ILDJARN = BACKGROUNDS OF SOME STATUS, BY MY ESTIMATE

most great men (genius, rather than say, valour or nobility) come from the middle class

it's where you expect an artistic movement to come from

everything today is middle class

or more precisely, mediocre

"the class" today is hardly measured, in the sense we are speaking of, by net worth

sure, net worth is indicator of higher social status, but not necessarily class in traditional sense

since people who rule today are middle class people par excellence

it's their spiritual background and their upbringing

everything today is concieved in middle class environment, and drifting away from it demands a certain "leap of faith'

quite right

most of the people who you refer to as an example of "elevated" middle class people, are in fact people who had experience at one moment or another, a sudden and unexpected illumination of a sort

after which they couldn't take middle class society seriously, without bursting into laughter

I don't mean middle class as a mentality

there is the working class, the elites/rulers/nobles/theocrats

and everything in between

the in betweeners are the engine of nearly all innovation

mentalities change

what we pejoratively call "middle class" was not always so

though this in between caste was

working class people today are a demographic who most staunchly atempts to emulate middle class life and norms

sure, that's how they all work

the working class aspires to the middle class, the middle class aspires to the top

they usually stumble through the act, embarass themselves, but still "succeed" due to their eagerness to conform

the middle class can mobilize the working class against elites
