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
veganism is the leading cause of effeminacy, experts say
Consumption of Apple products and unprotected butt sex are highly correlated, leading experts in the field report
ildjarn is vegan; your research is flawed.
Black Metal music highly correlated to life in suburbs and highly burreaucratic socialist conformist welfare states, leading team of researches from University of Cambridge report
ie white people
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
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
for this purpose
