>literally eating slop
Just because you don't like it doesn't make it slop. Learn what literally means, it's one of the last good words we have that means one thing.

I live with 3 roommates they have full access to my kitchen supplies and spices. They still choose to eat chipotle and fast food every night. People are just lazy

>it's one of the last good words we have that means one thing

It's already gone.

People use it way too much and it means shit now.

>>10953862

I do eat things sometimes I would prefer not to but it's a result of me being a shit cook and me not wasting money. I choose things that are close to me and within range as to not waste my time/gas driving to go get it and not wasting my money on tipping by eating in.

>>10953871
Have you been living in a hole? You should see what 4chan is doing to the word, "aesthetic."

>>10953862
>How does this happen /ck/?
A perfect storm of human laziness, lack of an established food culture, a relatively high degree of wealth, and being among the first to industrialize food production.

>>10953871
>Just because you don't like it doesn't make it slop
I can't speak for anon, but I assume he was referring to the quality of food rather than people's personal preferences. For example: I don't care if you like to drown your food in cheese. But why not do it with actual cheese rather than imitation cheese food product (TM)(R)?

>>10953871
Someone doesn't know that changed the dictionary so that literally also means figuratively now

>>10953905

That cheeseburger is aesthetic af tho.

>>10953912
I think he's trying to play semantics.

Like someone that looks at a painting by Raffaello and another made by a performance artist rubbing excrement on a blank canvas, and says they're both art. And absolutely everything in life is subjective and without meaning.

>>10953862
I don't think that saying proximity to big cities equates to good food quality is accurate.

Some of the most disgusting food comes out of major metros. Have you never seen people of fb or whatever sharing vids of urban restos that serve like, a whole wheel of melted cheese scraped over a donuts or some other mortifying memefood shit like that?

In a lot of rural areas you can get simple honest food. Stews with all home grown ingredients. BBQ made with wild game, etc.
Urban insectoids do not have a monopoly on good taste, they just have more options in a more concentrated area.

>>10953862
Most of America is dirt poor now. Some people you may know are living on credit cards with a fake “middle class” life that will eventually collapse. They buy most of their life from Walmart or Amazon.

>>10953929
I'm not playing semantics, I'm playing dictionary. Literally is a very good word that expresses what you mean perfectly and it shouldn't be bastardized. There's a dozen of other words you can use when you WANT to say "literally" but "literally" doesn't apply.

Literally
>boomers
Their generation thought old country buffet, McDonald’s, and Olive Garden were a treat. That’s why you see so much unwarranted outrage over “WAAAAAH MILLENIALS DONT WANT TO EAT AT MICROWAVE FOOD RESTAURANTS LIKE APPLEBEES OR CHILIS WTF IS WRONG WITH MILLENIALS

They literally have no clue because they don’t want to try new things because they are extremely brand loyal. The younger generation is not.

What did they mean by this? Is that supposed to be a hook? That's like advertising a hotel as having "Better Than Homeless Shelter Hotel Rooms"

>>10954081
If that wasn't a used car then you're an absolute retard. I mean, I'll be honest, you're sort of a retard anyway though, because making timely installment payments is one of the easiest ways to improve your credit.

this has been happening for thousands of years and you have no hope of stopping it, anons. might as well embrace it. that doesnt mean people who use a word wrong aren't retarded, it just means eventually the language changes o accommodate them

>>10954298
Apathetic nonsense. Some changes are benign, some are not. If, because of repeated misuse, a word loses connection to its original root or to other related words, that harms clarity and understanding.

People like you who say "It happens regularly, therefore it must be good or acceptable," are repeating an obvious fallacy.

>>10954324

>>10954368
no you just have a very immature view. just because i don't have your paternalistic attitude does not mean i am apathetic. there is no need to have a word conveying an idea which is not relevant to our culture - but if the idea remains relevant, there will be a word for it.

What is this fantasy that the residents of such cultural titans as Staten Island aren't shoveling Big Macs, sub sandwiches, chinese takeout and fried chicken into their fat maws same as everyone else.

People don't know shit about good food because they're lazy, cheap, ignorant and demanding; universal traits.
It's why people pay $30 for shitty lobster 500 miles from New England, buy $4.50/lb USDA choice steak, buy 3 week old tasteless fruits shipped halfway across the world because they're out of season, and couldn't cook a box of Uncle Ben's instant rice without starting a gas fire.

>>10953877
>access to my spices

you mad man, imagine if you had to refill all the spice for 3 other people cooking, shit will get expensive yo.

>>10953862
It's called income.

Surprisingly when you get the cash flowing, every intel and good things follows.

>Live in a town built from scratch around a WWII Italian internment camp and if someone looks older than 70 they don't speak English
>Tony Pajamas, the Quarter-Italian, Quarter-Polish, Quarter-Dutch, Sixty-fourth-Cherokee, eighth generation immigrant tells me I've never had real Italian food cooked by his crack team of Mexican immigrants in NYC.

>>10954375
Good point that’s why there are none of those chains in big cities

>>10953862
Life is shit when you're poor. Your parents often end up too busy working their multiple jobs to barely keep a roof over your head, and what's left doesn't really leave room to go to places where you can find out what nice things are.

In a way, it's merciful, as a child. If you don't know what it's like when things are better, it's not going to hurt as much when things are awful, and you don't have quite the same chance of killing yourself. Most people just get a bit bitter when they get old and find this stuff out, though, because most likely they won't be able to afford it either. They don't get access to the experience, and it's a hard, long, and potentially risky journey to get to the point of recreating the experience by yourself. When things aren't going great in general, you don't want to have to "eat your mistakes" like most new cooks have to, either. You just want to eat something carnally appealing because you have to be at work again pretty soon.

Travel is still extremely limited for a huge amount of people. Congratulations on being born into enough wealth to avoid this.

>buying a used car is bad
At least I know when I bought my car that the clutch wasn't flogged out and everything was in pristine condition, rather than shined up

>>10954691
meant to say buying a new car is bad. I'm going to sleep now.

>>10954502
They put them in cities for when flyovers come to visit modern society. It helps them feel at home. However, city folk don't live off of these restaurant chains like flyovers do.

>>10954711
Yeah, because flyovers actually cook instead of being kitschy and going to the farmer's market to actually make a meal for once.

>>10954711
>They put them in cities for when flyovers come to visit modern society.

I lived in memphis for a year and have been robbed 2x by 'flyovers' and have had several break ins.

The whole entire rust belt and the deep south are just a waste of space in america.

Hell, almost all of middle america is a shithole anyways.

You do realize that flyovers invented "soul food", which is essentially the only "authentic" american cuisine, right?

>>10954752
>flyovers invented fried chicken
>hurr durr we relevant cullenary geenyises

>>10954752
Bunch of boring beige boomer shit. America is good for cuisine insofar as it provides a wealthy infrastructure through which talented chefs can succeed and experiment.

>>10954745
If you make fun of Solly's butterburgers one more time, I'll fuck you up.

>>10954769

>>10954769
>soulfod equals fried chicken

>>10954244
Think again

>>10954564
Then how do poor people manage in Italy, Greece, Spain, etc. where the standard of living is much lower, unemployment rates are higher, and most people live with their parents?

The culture is the problem and it's shit.

The bigger question is why you even care.

>>10953877
chipotle is delicious, i'd have it once a month if there was one around me

>>10953871
>Whining about literally

Ah yes, the mark of a moron. I bet you have no problem with people """misusing""" the words: really, truly, actually etc do you? Literally (heh) the EXACT same scenario.

>>10956373
Chipotle is pretty good as far as fast food goes. It isn't covered in "queso" sauce, there are no fritos or whatever the hell else.

Rice, Grilled veggies, protein, fresh tasting guacamole. Pretty tasty

>>10953862
Good is subjective

>>10956398
Second this. I don't know if they invented cilantro lime rice, but it's a damn good idea.

>>10956321
ah yes, everyone ate at hotels in 1899

are you seriously trying to say that everyone in 1900 ate hotel quality food

>>10953929
>And absolutely everything in life is [...] without meaning.
But this, objectively, is true.

>>10956398
I love cilantro lime rice, guac, carnitas, lack beans, and cheese.
ah so good. I might try the beef or barbacoa one of these days tho

>>10953862
>southern food
>scuzzy people eating nasty slop
This happened because flyovers and southerners use heavy machinery and poison (or in historical times, endless fields of slaves) to feed themselves. When quality = quantity, people don't care what it tastes like.

The reason the Northeast and California have so much better food is the climate is conducive to quality produce, and the culture is friendly to diversity (in every way) rather than monocropping.

Flyovers think "diversity" means "a lot of black people, in addition to the white people", which is why their food is a cosmic joke.
