Hard disagree.  We live in the golden age of the foodie girlfriend.  So many women out there watching reruns of Great British Bake Off, and Pinstagramming food porn like it's a competition.

 

Whereas my grandmothers were WWII era gals- one hated to cook and the other cooked so poorly you learned to hate to eat.

My paternal grandmother could outlook any other lady, outright.

 

I am tied with her, to be modest.

 

In my experience, you are flat out wrong - modern men are the better cooks.

 

I'd rather have some random dude cooking my meal than some random girl.

 

But most people can't cook for shit.

 

So I cook for myself.

 

R.I.P. paternal grandmother: The Best.

To be fair just because someone is a foodie doesn't mean they cook.

No, but the idea that just because someone was an old-timey housewife they could cook anything half decently was even less based in fact.

 

At least foodies aspire to something.  Most of our grandparents' generations had things like the Betty Crocker cookbook at home, which convinced them that cooking well meant opening up a packet of some sort of processed food and going 'off-label' with it.

LOL nah it was meant to promote a program bk is running and has gone horribly sideways 😂

 

I know more women now who cook than I did growing up for adults. Also I feel like this hot take is specifically an American thing.

It is not a hot take at all.

 

Far less than your calling it a hot take is a hot take.

 

I'd posit a fair number of second gen American women are reasonably competent.

 

But this is in no way a purely American thing.

 

Men are the superior cooks these days.

-It feels like this is an American meme gone wild because I only hear it from Americans. 

 

-outside the country even those that are hard stanced against more patriotically systems can cook up a storm. My personal experience with Israel as an example. 

 

-the amount of girls I run into on dating sites promoting the fuck outta their cooking skills for the gram.

 

Just doesn't feel like that for me.

American is a prime example, it is by no means an Americsn phenomenon.

 

My experiences , both here, and abroad, directly contradict your own asserted ones.

Not trying to argue for either or, but your post made me check my memory to see if I remember seeing any female chefs in the back of any of the restaurants I go to.  Outside of the one Mexican place, I don't remember seeing any in the back since the time I used to work with one over 10 years ago.  Strange, now that I think about it.

The same as opinions are facts. People feel something is wrong=fact. 

 

"I feel like this vaccine is bullshit because people are dying" 

 

The fact is unfortunately people do die from medicine. You just haven't been paying attention. This isnt new, and it's always gonna happen. 

Well, we've been rewarding people for thinking with their feelings so of course more people are going to do it.

 

There's just too much information out there. It's incredible that we have the equivalent of largest library ever in our pocket, yet it's almost incomprehensible because there's too much there and it moves far too quickly .

What if someone had the power to fly, but it was done via superhuman farting as jet propulsion?  I wonder how many people would still take the ability to fly if that's the deal.

 

...even more embarrassing would be if it was a diarrhea blast being used to launch yourself into the air each time... I think most would probably turn it down for sure then.  It would be funny to watch someone flying around like that though... from a safe distance from the blast zone of course.

that's not what would bother me...see at a certain altitude I doubt my body fart flying would be able to sustain the change in pressure and temperature.  😂

-how do you know how people feel about a show good or bad now? Social media because we are so connected. 

 

-how would you know how people felt in the 90s? Word of mouth, maybe a writing campaign gets together or they protest. You are disconnected in the 90s. People could have been offended and you might not even know back then. People didn't feel like they had a real voice especially minorities. 

 

-meh on Seinfeld.... He says that shit but I feel like theirs more to it. Like really think about the last time you heard a comedian who literary does stadiums doing a college tour. 

I couldn't really respond to this on my phone at work. 

  •  I obviously can't speak for everyone. I can speak for those I saw or directly interacted with. Growing up in the 90s as the "smart black kid", something I dubbed No Man's Land, I was not shielded from people saying less than flattering things. Heck the black kids were worse than the racist white kids. If anyone was oversensitive it would have been people from my general circle. We got it worse.  That said people made fun of people that were overly sensitive.  General response essentially suck it up, stop crying, other people have it much worse than you. When I went to school we had field days. Ribbons were giving out to the first, second, and third place finishers. Blue 1st, Red 2nd, Yellow 3rd. My cousin, who is young enough to be my son, had field days too. They didn't give out ribbons. They didn't want any of the kids to feel left out. That shift in mentality pervades throughout our society today.  That oversensitivity has nothing do with social media. Social media amplifies the hypersensitivity that is already their.
  • Honestly you can miss me with this one. The generation proceeding mine protested and marched under threat of death. So 30 plus years later people couldn't express their utter contempt with far less of a threat to their well being. Not buying that one at all. In many ways things like "online petitions" don't carry the weight due to the low effort required to participate. To be honest, things like letter writing campaigns were/are more effective. Companies/politicians/etc. knew people were pissed off when they actually took the time to sit down, write, and mail a letter. 
  • Don't really follow comedians close enough to say to be completely honest with you. That said, Seinfeld's take is hardly a unique one. It something I heard multiple comedians say. Chris Rock said the same thing.

if it were me, if I fuel myself with anything dairy, I can go far but...I'd be pretty bloated

Fucking- granola gives me BAD gas. I eat a bowl of granola for breakfast and that afternoon I'm letting the most foul stankfarts that last all god damn night.

 

I call it The Fähtzen.

 

I could probably go to the moon on that shit.

I don't feel so bad now thanks lol. 

 

but this leads me to ask a Q here: how many of you openly fart among your significant other?

I lost several pounds and my face looks significantly better. I also look younger, too. I'm like wow. I have not really aged in the past 20 years. When I gain weight, I look older and when I lose weight, I look younger and better looking. I actually like my face a lot especially when I am skinny.
