And we could shorten that to neurotic!

Chippy means lemmy hates Rogan more than lemmy hates Reddit, i think. It was ambiguous but that’s what I gleaned.

What i really meant by consistency isn’t really being perfect anyway, it’s more about longevity, as in, being imperfect, but over a long period of time, ideally as long as you are capable.

I really appreciate all the info you’re giving! It’s really encouraging.

I was a high level athlete growing up, so my only previous example of what was “enough” is hard to live up to as an adult working in an office, but seeing as ive been going an average of 7-8 hours per week, that makes me feel a lot more confident that I am, in fact, doing enough.

So thank you :)

My comment didn’t talk about shit

See what you gotta do if you want ladies is grow a mustache. Ladies looooove a stache.

Source: am lady. Love stache.

Who mentioned bodybuilding? Did you mean to respond to someone else?

So I guess the trick is, and has always been, consistency?

Yeah I guess she’s rich enough she wouldn’t have to.

The irony being that TSwift would’ve 100% served in the IOF if she was Israeli.

Tbh it’s likely.

Now that’s gender affirming care.

It ought to go to the people who created the value, but that wouldn’t be capitalism unless they are self-employed.

I think I’m gonna take a tip from you today and do the same :)

That sounds like a really nice evening honestly

I love a good prank as long as it’s good-natured, doesn’t damage anything, and doesn’t put anyone in harm’s way. This was a funny prank.

Yeah it’s always a shame when you go to an establishment and the beer is clearly an afterthought. My husband has ruined certain places for me because he will always notice when the draft lines aren’t clean or when he can taste diacetyl in the beer (an off-taste some beers get that smells/tastes like buttered popcorn flavouring).

Does make me very appreciative of places where they are clearly knowledgeable and care, though!

The pours we are talking about have nothing to do with the prank in the video, that’s just them fucking with an old man. The Czech-style foam pours come in three types:

Hladinka (smooth): 1/3 foam, 2/3 beer

Šnyt (split): half-half to two-thirds foam

Mliko (milk): all foam

The Czechs invented that way of pouring their beer and a special tap for doing so, it’s a tradition, just like the Germans and English have their own traditions around their local styles.

It’s literally a centuries-old tradition, so clearly there have been huge amounts of people over many, many years who don’t think it makes the beer taste like shit. This is not a new thing. I’ve also had it and it’s pretty fuckin good if you’re not already drinking shit beer.

Also, wtf? Nobody is earnestly giving people these pours without them explicitly ordering them, so idk what you’re fuckin on about saying it makes people feel unwelcome. If you don’t fucking want one, don’t fucking order one.

In every brewery I’ve been to that has these pours, they adjust the price accordingly and you’re not getting ripped off anymore than buying a regular pint (price per actual ml of beer poured is approx. the same). I’ve never heard somebody in an actual brewery I’ve been to say that foam was better than beer, but there are a lot of reasons for these different pilsner pours.

If you’re curious, I can ask my husband (a brewer) what the purpose of these pours is.

Exploitation is fundamental to the existence of capitalism, it cannot exist without it, at least in my opinion, and the opinion of many other economists.

In neoclassical economics (or at least to plenty of neoclassical economists - neoclassical being the prevalent theory in modern western society), the term “exploitation” refers to the exploitation of labour, which is when wages are lower than the marginal productivity of labour.

To put it simply, surplus value is the difference between the value added by the labourer (for example, the assembly of car parts into a car, or turning raw materials into a product), and the wages they are paid.

Surplus value also has another name: profit.

The whole basis of capitalist economics is to prioritize, reward and encourage the maximization of profit. Based on my statements above, there is only one way to do that: exploiting labour. Thus, exploitation is not only prevalent in capitalism, but encouraged, rewarded, and required, otherwise the business will fail because it cannot keep up.
