>Generations are not unified cultures
no shit, dumbass. Do you not understand generalizations? I never said that ALL Millenials or ALL Boomers think alike, I was merely speaking in general terms.

Generally speaking, Millenials are more willing to pay a large price for something if that something is a unique experience that is not easily re-created at home. Hence, Millenials aren't buying the corn-fed, feedlot trash at Ruth's Chris, but they are buying locally farmed, sustainably raised food from restaurants that aren't chains.


>I've worked around cruise ships for the last few years...
Listen carefully, kiddo: YOUR EXPERIENCE IS NOT UNIVERSAL. Just because you've seen 20-somethings eating buffet food on a boat does not necessarily mean that ALL 20-somethings are willing to do that. Nor does it account for those people that are trying that experience simply because their parents (i.e. Boomers) said it was a good thing to do.

>It has way more to do with the circumstances of your upbringing
This is literally the basis of Generational theory: people of similar age from the same country are likely to have had similar upbringings. This leads to shared experiences during the formative years (e.g. every Millenial remembers what they were doing on 9/11/2001, just as every Boomer knows what they were doing when Jack Kennedy got merc'd.) and that leads to similar cultural values.

Maybe you should do a little more reading instead of being a condescending, wage slave retard. Go kill yourself.

>It would 100% be your fault if the dog died. You gave it the chocolate that killed it.

Wrong on both counts, kiddo. All I did was drop a piece of chocolate on the ground. The proximate cause of the dog's illness or death would be the owner stupidly letting their dog roam around unsupervised.

By your own logic, if I leave my chocolate on the ground, it's the dog owner's fault if their dog "steals" it.

>Because your such a sociopath
*you're.

Also, did you not read where I said:
>The point isn't to kill the dog, since I'm not a sociopath

checkmate.

>Its quite clear they do not have all the necessary amenities blah blah stupid boomer nonsense

you sound like a jaded boomer that got burned by a roach coach. Food trucks have evolved, grandpa. They have refrigeration, full stoves, ovens, and even running water.

The future is now, old man.

>rugby north dakota is the center of the continent

you're being kind of pedantic. I said "literally" the center of the continent. That means, figuratively speaking, that Chicago is in the center of North America.

I bet you're loads of fun at parties, eh mate?

>If you can casually whip out good bread lightning has struck.

Well actually, all you need to make good bread is a reliable formulation, a good scale, and climate controlled conditions. As long as you have those things, a trained monkey could turn out good bread.

I can casually turn out good bread, because I took the time to learn a reliable process. And since I'm not a poverty stricken degenerate, my house has good insulation and stable interior temperature & humidity; that means I don't have to worry about whether or not it's raining like a dumb poorfag who has to adjust their recipe to account for moisture variation in the air. These are the things you learn with a little life experience and money.

tl;dr don't be a poor

>it is raw judging by how it looks

then you obviously suck at judging doneness based on looks. The facts are:

1) color alone cannot tell you if a piece of meat is cooked. that color is a function of myoglobin, the age of the meat, gases present during cooking, and many other factors. you should do some research instead of assuming things.

2) the color you see in that image is affected by the camera settings used, the processing done to the image before it was posted, data transcription errors during uploading & downloading, the age & design of your monitor, and your shitty eyes. None of that has anything to do with how the meat was cooked. So what looks "raw" to you might look pretty pale and cooked to someone else. You should consider this when someone disagrees with you about the doneness of a picture of meat.

if you consider supply and demand of the example foods in your post, then the reasons why a steak would cost more and be more revered than a spag bol make more sense.

I recently bought a PSMO and trimmed it down with the intent of cutting some filets. Once I had the chain, silver skin, and fat off of the loin, I only was able to cut about 4 steaks. Think about that: with 2 tenderloins per cow, that means the cow I was cutting from only yielded 8 petit filets. That same cow probably produced an order of magnitude more ground beef by weight than it did high-quality steaks (T-bones & ribeyes) that people typically order at a restaurant.

Then you consider how readily available and cheap flour, eggs, oil, and produce are, and it becomes clear that the cost of the spag bol for the restaurant, even one where everything is made by hand, is well below the cost of securing quality, high-demand, low-supply cuts of meat. And if the restaurant (or purveyor) is aging that meat to enhance flavor, that will drive the cost up even more.

tl;dr even though spag bol takes more skill and labor to produce by hand, good steaks are low-supply, high-demand, making them more expensive and revered. That's Capitalism, baby!

>factory farming is morally indefensible.

well actually, it is a perfectly sounds practice when done with the proper safeguards in place to prevent harm to humans.

As long as a "factory farm" is not producing meat that is harmful to humans (e.g. via pathogens, contamination, and whatnot) then the ends justify the means. There are billions of people that need to be fed in this world; "factory farms" provide a safe, stable, reliable solution to that problem.

there's actually no way to tell based on your picture alone. A lot of niggerfaggots on this board will say it's raw, but depending on the monitor they use and its settings, the meat may look more red or pink.

On my monitor, that meat looks pink, not red. Based on that alone, it's probably safe enough to eat, but there may still be some risk.

What temperature did you cook the meat to? Another oft-forgotten part of meat cookery is that sometimes meat that was cooked to a safe temperature will remain pink, depending on the conditions in which it was cooked. As long as you cooked that burger to a safe temperature, it is safe to eat, guaranteed.

tl;dr color is not a reliable indicator of temperature, especially across the internet. pic unrelated.
