When I moved to RI I was so confused by this shit. Why is this a thing??

Rhode Island around Providence is full of dominicans and potato niggers. It's not that bad, could be worse. My neighborhood is shitty but an okay shitty where everyone knows each other and help each other out. Packages never get stolen because there are so many people hanging out on their front porch watching everything all the time.

Maybe you are cooking too hot a temperature.
I cook eggs in the cheapest pan I could find on amazon and never "season" it and scrub it with steel scrubber, never had any problem with it. But I dislike crispy eggs I cook them on low so they come out similar to poached eggs.
Seasoning is a meme in my experience. Treat cast iron like stainless steel: heat up the pan first, then add oil, then the food for the Liedenfrost effect or whatever. I don't understand and dont' want to at this point what some mythical perfect seasoning is supposed to accomplish. As long as the pan isn't rusting I don't give a second thought to the seasoning.
Actually with steaks and chicken thighs I don't even heat up the pan first, starting with a cold pan helps it end up crispier on the outside. Eventually the moisture and fat cooks out and if it was stuck it unsticks itself.
I mean honestly I don't know what some of you people are doing. My big pan is Walmart Mainstays brand, I turn the heat up and sear ground meat on it as hot as it can go without creating smoke and it's never hard to clean up afterward.
