/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>12058358
Almost all the buzz about Nusr-et, set in the former China Grill space in prime Midtown Manhattan, has been negative. The New York Post labeled its review “Public Rip-Off No. 1” and noted that after a $521.45 dinner for three, critic Steve Cuozzo still wanted a snack. GQ referenced mundane, rather tough steak, terrible cocktails, and $9 bottles of water because the restaurant declines requests for tap.

>>12058358
As someone who is merely middle class I cant really make room in the budget for $200 dinners.

>$9 bottles of water because the restaurant declines requests for tap.

i'm fairly certain this is flat-out illegal.

>>12058358
pretentious cook <<<< passionate cook
there's no passion. only glamour and cringe. cooking is love. not porn.

>>12058358
It's in a bad location. He should put it in the Dubai Mall.

Because I prefer food over gimmicks.

>>12058374
It's certainly illegal under US law, but who he fuck knows what's legal there.

>>12058382
the restaurant in question is in manhattan, isn't it?

>>12058372
lmao

>>12058372
/r/ that video where the fat dude looks like he's getting a blowjob under the table while salt bae is cutting steaks

>performance art
He should have the decency to go dance with his dick out in the street or something with the rest of his """artist""" kin and leave food alone.

>>12058372
lmfao what a gimmick

>>12058401
I think that was Maradona and he was high on cocaine

Implying I care if the (((debt))) is ever paid back.

>>12058401
> Maradona
> "fat dude"

>>12058497
He’s fat

>>12058358
>Why didn't you eat at Salt Bae's restaurant?
He idolizes dictators that created untold suffering. Why would I support him?

>>12058535
unironically i thought american coasties liked castro and che guevara

>>12058521
I know, it's just fucking hilarious that Maradona is recognized as "the fat dude". that's what he deserves

Too much razzle-dazzle, not enough business sense.

>>12058540
on the west woast and maybe on the north east coast, but abso-fucking-lutely not in Florida and especially Miami. Cubans flocked to us by the thousands in Banana Boats. its still a serious thing to talk about for them

>>12058555
oh i see, that makes sense

>>12058358
This guy looks like a Law and Order villain.

>>12058358
>Why didn't you
He poses as a chef and I said I'd pose as a paying customer but he insisted he wants real money anyway. The nerve.

>>12058420
The worst part is that he's a bad showman. All the over exaggerated movements while doing nothing, uneven cuts on a $200 steak and the ridiculous gold leaf. This guy is a living meme.

the meat always seems well prepared enough and tender. was it actually bad or just overpriced?

>>12058555
Thise cubans are now moving to detroit to get away from fellow cubans.

>>12058358
If you guys read the article, the actual Salt Bae isn’t in debt. His restaurants are owned by some big ass turkey corp that is in debt.

>>12058596
surely there are better places to escape to

>>12058586
Multiple food critics said the steaks were shit quality and poorly cooked.

>>12058600
what a shame

>>12058597
The city center of detroit is actually really nice. The bad parts are the areas immediately surrounding the downtown area. Once you get past that ring you get back into very wealthy suburbs like mine. I'm 15 minutes from downtown and my 900sqft house is worth over $200k. The only thing that stops Detroit from booming again is a lack of mass transit within the city. If we had that, amazon would likely set up headquarters here because the city would agree to anything they wanted.

>>12058613
huh, i guess so. i googled 8 mile road of eminem album fame and it does indeed seem to be passing around the city centre

>>12058358
Been 3 times to the main branch in Istanbul as a matter of fact. The prices are actually reasonable (600g Tomohawk Steak for $40) and it's quite honestly the best meat you'll ever eat in your life.

>>12058640
t. Salt Bae

>>12058595
Did he become merely a mascot, like colonel Sanders?

>>12058497
americans only know about handegg and slightly less boring cricket stars

Salt bae & his poser cooking is perfect for dumb American liberal socialists wannabe millenials.

Shitty food for shitty people.

>>12058739

See! This is why I want to be socialist. Free high end dining with the best celebrity chefs.

>>12058582
But on the other hand the customer looks like he's having a good time, and is a multimillionaire so the money is irrelevant.

>>12058626
Lol 8 mile isn't even the bad part. Its just a lot of businesses that cater to poor blacks. Not sure I'd want to walk down 8 mile by myself all night as a white guy but it's not what you see in the movies and pop culture. The dangerous parts of detroit are the blighted neighborhoods of houses. The surround the city center. Those are the areas where you ignore stop signs and traffic signals because you might get carjacked if you stop for too long. The police won't even bother you for doing so.

This is the detroit you would actually visit but it doesn't make for good clickbait so most people never see it

>>12058771
I live in the area and what are you talking about Cubans moving here? We got Arabs of course, and Indians and Asians for the auto industry, but Cubans?

>>12058415
Food is art dumbfuck. Learn about postmodernism you uneducated hick.

>>12058739
>>12058759

>>12058818
someone has to sell sandwiches to all that people

>>12058358
Trying to turn his meme-ness into an actual business was a terrible idea.

>>12058818
Its just starting but they're moving up here to grow weed. The cubans control the florida weed market and its flooded so they're moving up here to get away from their own people.

>>12058829
Exactly. He should have stuck to social media and youtube where no one can eat the food and find out he's a fraud.

>>12058829
Already had a successful business prior to the meme

>>12058739
>Shitty food for shitty people.
Millions of people in his own country are literally sitting in the dark, starving while he eats his $200 steak. Maduro is really trying to be the next Stalin or Mao. Just zero fucking cares about his own people.

>>12058837
Selling food to turks who wouldn't know good food from a hole in the ground.

>>12058849
turkish cuisine is very good actually but i will admit they probably don't have the insane obsession with steak americans have and so their steak scene definitely wouldn't be as sophisticated

>>12058739
> Steaks run from $70 to $275. No matter how much show comes on the side, when you pay that much, you expect a meal that tastes good. My friends noted that their meat was tough with globs of fat and gristle, and severely lacking in flavor. Even an order of spaghetti was $70, though the $7 Diet Coke didn’t bother me as much.
> Even an order of spaghetti was $70
> an order of spaghetti was $70
> spaghetti $70

wtf? These liberal, socialist elites really know how to live it up.

>>12058830
Interesting

>>12058854
yfw: you can't even find enough food in the trash, but your socialist dictator dines on $200 steak & $70 spaghetti.

>>12058375
I'm sure he had passion at one time. Then he became a meme.

>>12058372

The customer is Franck Ribery btw, millionaire footballer

>>12058876
damn that is a weird skin tone this guy has. is he really from south america? looks like an indian or a gypsy

>>12058889
>only celebs I see in these salt bae videos are retarded povertyball players
makes sense

>>12058890
lots of Indians or descendants of Indians in South america

>>12058916
i meant indian as in from the indian subcontinent

>>12058415
Uh... why?

>>12058922
Racist

>>12058938
that's right

>>12058876
No food... But food in the trash... Nice try, by the way how about all your homeless vet eating trash everyday?

>>12058739
Wtf, was this shot in 2004? Hussein is dead

>>12058372
>those hip thrusts
I can't afford to eat steak at his restaurants, but I would love for him to prepare my a grill cheese or something. Dude is fabolous.

>>12058372
I’m fresh out of college making ~34k and I make room for them. Granted it’s only me and the wife and every couple months or so but there’s definitely room

>>12058372
ribery is so fucking ugly, it's absolutely amazing. you just want to stare at him

Salt gay

>>12059004
fucking gotem

>>12058991
Yeah he's fucking revolting looking but that was probably the reason why he started doing sports in the first place since he had no other possible way to score.

>>12058613
I honestly hope some city planner played Detroit: Become Human and rebuilds the whole city as a cyberpunk town with self driving transport systems and androids running around.
Detroit would be the perfect place to try that.

>>12058358
Memes don't put asses in the seats long-term.
Bye bye salt meme man.

>>12058613
It is nice to know since my last reference from Detroit was Robocop movies

>>12059226

>>12058613

Yeah, nothing better for an American city than building a rapid nog delivery system.

>Fucking coasties!!1

>>12058358
Celebrity endorsements are great, but you need to convince the plebs to eat there too. Like cheeky Nandos

>>12059303
Is this supposed to be impressive or something?

>>12058890
mixed race south americans are surprisingly similar to indians and north africans

>>12059326
That dude is high on cocaine so don’t take his reactions into account

>>12059337

>>12058366
>the restaurant declines requests for tap.
I thought that was illegal

>>12059358
If they call him out for it he can claim racism.

>>12058374
In California it is

>>12059358
As far as I know it’s absolutely illegal. If a restaurant ever said I have to pay for tap water I’d get up and leave, that is the jewiest shit imaginable and I’ve worked in some shitty restaurants.

>>12059303
the video itself is full of hilarious shit too
in the end, while looking at the bones he says to him "I wish I could put mine one out as clean as that" and then takes a cheeky look at his wife next to him, completely owning the fact that he just called her out for having a shitty asshole

>>12058358
I got dragged there in New York one time and it’s shit. Full of mongoloids from the outer boroughs of all color and size. The steak was fatty and tough. To boot your man wears so much cologne I thought I was going to gag while he was doing his meme show. Though the silver lining to that was whatever snake piss he had smothered on him practically annihilated my senses so I was spared from tasting most of this abomination. Total gimmick. Hope this carpet jockey goes bankrupt, back to roachistan him and his gaggle of greaseballs.

>>12058372

>>12058366
>prime Midtown Manhattan
The restaurant is probably doing fine, just not fine enough to afford that rent.

>>12060055
So he should just move to middle america. I'm sure he'll still be obscenely rich if he lets middle americans eat his shit.

>>12059600
please tell me it was for business. please tell me your company paid for it

>>12060039
Same here.
I feel bad, if I spend more than what it costs in store. I used to work in a kitchen so I'm aware of the work that goes into it. But at the same time, I can buy grass feed beef, or fresh venison, for a year and it's not going to cost that much.

>>12058376
Pretty sure he already has one there

>>12060078
For me it’s about knowing that I can cook most restaurant menus cheaper and better myself. My one guilty pleasure is things like tortellini where it’s a bitch to make them myself.

>>12059435
It's only illegal to charge for tap water in like Arizona, other states really don't give a shit.

>>12060078
that's why i like going to buffets more, i've found some decent ones under $20, and the wide variety of food available makes it worth it to me because preparing it all myself would take so much time.

>>12060094
I’ve never heard of a restaurant in Michigan charging for water. Maybe they can but it would be terrible for business since a glass of tap water is basically free.

>>12060064
Manhattan literally has some of the highest rents/leases anywhere on Earth. So no, not middle America, but a smaller but still popular city, yes.

>>12060095
I would only go to a buffet in Vegas.

>>12058358
Turkroach

>>12060098
I'm sure he makes insane money in his NYC restaurant, but his other restaurants around the globe probably aren't doing so hot. He seems to have borrowed a ton of money to expand abroad and is getting crushed by the debt.

Restauranteurship is a notoriously fickle business. You're on top one day, you're in the dumps the next. It's not advisable as a lifelong pursuit if what you want out of life is stability.

>>12060100
Oh yeah. Vegas buffets are the shit. Even sushi buffets. That's where I finally got sick of eating salmon nigiri.

>>12060096
Most restaurants don't as its fucking stupid and makes you look stingy. But to be fair for Salt bae the restaurant just refused to serve tap and forced them to buy bottled water.

>>12060067
you're fucking right

>>12060092
They aren't that hard to make. Especially if you get a mold, or a simple tortellini cutter.

I avoid restaurant pasta, since it's usually just store bought nastiness. Things with a filling are 95% just that.
Mostly since it's to much work, and it ends up costing too much on the menu.
One of the places I worked at ... we made all the pasta fresh. At almost a loss, since the owner figured the drinks would make up for it...
It's closed now. Didn't even last two years.

Local mushroom and black truffle tortellini. Everything made inhouse, priced as it would be store bought. People just didn't care, and it's a different taste since it doesn't have 20 additives.

>>12058613
You are a bit optimistic. There is a lot more going against Detroit. Yes there are nice burbs. Yes downtown is ok, but the city proper is a wreck and unrecoverable. In this state the metro will slowly decay as well. Move to the proper side of the state is you want to experience growth, safety, and a decent place to live.

>>12058771
Cherry picked image there. Last time I was downtown for a weekend a tourist was shot and the hotel manager requested us to get in before dark because there wasn't a game and the cops would not be out in numbers to guarantee safety.

>>12059564
>for having a shitty asshole
god forbid

>>12058372

Americans are so fucking deluded lel. You're working class mate.

>>12059358
I've read that if a place serves alcohol they're required to provide water for free. Not sure if that's actually true or not.

>>12060266
This. I make a bit under 50k and i dont really budget. I could easily drop $200 on a nice meal now and then.
I wont though.

>>12060275
When i was younger i asked a bar tender for water and he got kind of pissed.
He gave me the water but said "you cant order water at a bar"
I didnt understand but at least i knew the guy was a piece of shit.
Fuck bars

>>12058358
Seems like a front for money laundering, purposely expensive to keep people out

>>12060394
Restaurants are terrible businesses for laundering money.

>>12058372
i want to order that and then drizzle on some ketchup all over it.

>>12060227
Where is that? Grand Rapids or up north?

>>12060507
Grand Rapids is boring. Marquette is where it’s at.

>>12060227
You're pretty wrong about detroit decaying, Dan Gilbert and a shit ton of big businesses coming in are attracting a ton of young people to the city, it can literally only go up from where it was even a few years ago. You should see how much the locals hate "gentrifiers" (any white person), shit I can't even count the number of times I've been yelled at to leave the city by locals. Only bad parts are the surrounding hoods but isn't that any city?

>>12058991
>>12059020
when he was a child his face was destroyed in a car accident

>>12060573
Eh, I happen to have friends in high places downtown. Things are not going well. Restaurants are opening but Detroit still can’t attract big business. Officials fly in ceo’s And heads of companies all the time and give them the sales pitch and they all leave shaking their heads. Last year there were some VERY large Chinese investors who came to town looking to see if they wanted to bring business to the city. City officials gave them the song and dance but they actually left two days early. The city has no public transport, infrastructure is crumbling, politics are in shambles with corruption being rampant. Dan Gilbert and the Ilitch family have used their fortunes to jump start the city but wihout outside investment the city will continue to stagnate. I really have no hope. Public transport is a project the city could never afford and even if they somehow got the money it would be embezzled by politicians.

>>12058991
To be fair, his scars are pretty badass. Also, it takes a tough dude to french-kiss a lorry and survive.

>>12060606
Sure it has none of those things NOW but it takes time. Plus with the LCA hosting a google office, quicken investing in MLine rail to address transit, and Chrystler opening an HQ here how can you say big businesses aren't coming in? I'm genuinely asking, I don't know much and I won't claim to. It just seems from my view that we are on the upswing and the very start of recovering, but it's going to take a while for sure.

>>12060633
>MLine rail
Mline was a huge waste of money. It accomplished nothing. It connects nothing with nothing. If it had stretched all the way to ferndale or royal oak then it would have been an accomplishment. Chrysler is preforming like shit just like the rest of the American auto industry. The city is treading water at best. We need new industries to move in and provide jobs in the downtown area. You’re talking about individual businesses, I’m talking about industries. We have none except the perpetually failing auto industry. The problem is no industry will move here without a healthy infrastructure. We can’t afford to revamp our infrastructure without tax revenue from new industries. See the problem? The auto industry fucked the city forever by successfully bribing the government not to build a transit system.

Interesting points anon, thanks for the insight

>restaurant is literally named "Salt Bae" and charges 200 gorillion for a steak that probably has nothing but salt on it, bae

Hard pass on this zoomer bullshit desu

>>12058374
Lots of things are illegal in NYC and are easily fixed with bribes

>>12059435
>As far as I know it’s absolutely illegal.

It's not. The only time an eatery in America is legally required to provide water of any kind is if they also serve alcohol. And in some states if you don't buy any alcohol they don't have to give you the water for free, they can charge for it.

>>12058839

how fucking dumb do you have to be to think this

>salt bae
I'd be pretty embarrassed.
>one shot at fame

This is why Detroit is never going to recover. The people that already live there don't WANT recovery. They want to wallow in filth, burnt-out buildings, drugs, and crime.

>>12058640

>>12058535
>cigar is backwards

>>12060677
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Gilbert also getting sued by the city because his redevelopment plan turned out to be him making a bunch of promises so he could buy up downtown real estate for cheap and not have to pay taxes, then tearing down existing buildings and not putting up anything in their place?

>>12059564

This. "Salt Bae" got popular because he was having fun cooking, that was his passion. Problem was... he wasn't that great of a cook. But he was passionate. He thought his meme status somehow made him a great cook though

>>12061153
No, that's pretty standard leftist hypocrisy.

>>12058535

American law is set up so that the only way for a law to be enforced in on a case by case basis in which someone has to go through the expensive ass, months long process of filing a lawsuit against the person breaking the law. And even then the person breaking the law just has to pay a settlement to the specific person who sued them, and then can go right back to breaking the law if they so wish.

>>12058358

It's state-by-state law. It's illegal in California. Here in Florida it's legal.

This is why I stopped buying drinks whenever I go out to a club to see a DJ here. It's hot and sweaty enough in the crowd.

Why do you think the entire suburban of Detroit still think of themselves as detroiters? Most people would love to live in the actual city of Detroit but white people simply aren’t allowed. We’ve taken back the very heart of the city and I almost moved downtown a few years back when there were some nice building offering some very attractive prices but it’s just too far from most real work and car insurance is insanely high.

They’re being drawn out into the suburbs with government assisted housing projects built in really nice neighborhoods. I have no idea how they got it approved but they put one up in fucking West Bloomfield. Within the first year the businesses immediately surrounding the neighborhood were constantly getting broken into and multiple banks had been robbed.

To be fair, 45k is a pretty nice step from 35k. I earn 28k right now. Granted the cost of living is far less in the deep South than most other parts of the country.

I'm single and make about 54000 a year, so a $200 dinner would be a once-a-year type of thing.

But I sure as shit wouldn't blow it on a fucking steak. Realistically, when that once-a-year time comes, I'd go blow $50 at Jack in the Box and spent the rest on psychedelics and just have a wild night.

If you budgeted you could really get some nice investments lined up for your retirement.

>>12066246
The ones who post "HURR LOL AT POORFAGS WHO BUDGET" are 100% NEET larpers. And even in the case they're not, they are absolutely retarded and will not have a retirement.

I cannot understand why someone would choose a literal meme restaurant over a proper Turkish cuisine one, it's not like the Turks have a big steak tradition (especially one that translates well to Western cuisine standards) as most of their meat game is kebab style grilled over fire usually using a skewers. Why would someone choose this in Constantinople over say Musa Dagdevirens restaurant (memed through Netflix but with actual both great taste and true Turkish cuisine).
In the end he was just a dude who got internet famous for salting meat...basing an enterprise over it especially targeting rich clientele was a surefire recipe for failure.

>>12066262
Honestly if I was scraping by on $50k I wouldn't budget at all, I'd just be like, fuck everything this isn't worth it. I only started paying attention to what I was doing with money when I started making six figures and goals that didn't sound like a complete joke suddenly appeared achievable.

There's a reason people in sub-saharan africa have like 18 children and a big ass TV, if you can't realistically look forward to owning multiple rental properties and a healthy dividend stream later in life, then WTF are you doing stashing pennies in a jar? What's that ACTUALLY going to get you? Just enjoy what you have now, in whatever way you can.

>getting this triggered by a historical figure from an irrelevant island who has been dead for like 10 years
Yikes. I can understand getting triggered by Pol Pot or Idi Amin but Castro barely even killed anyone, maybe 50 dissidents? At most? That's like the average daily body count on Texas state prison's gas chamber.

The only people who get upset by Fidel Castro pictures are toothless Miami cubans with too many gold chains, and edgelords who read about socialism on conservapedia

>>12061864
More likely, shitskins just have terrible taste.

>>12066404
It's not about stashing pennies in a jar, it's about showing restraint. Do you buy every single thing you want the minute you want it? If not, then you budget. There's a pretty broad spectrum between upper-middle class and "welfare nigger" anon. There's nothing wrong with allocating so much per month to go into savings or mutual funds. If you do that at all, that's still budgeting.

>>12059284

Sounds like no one here is triggered but you, reddit.

>>12066433
>Do you buy every single thing you want the minute you want it?
I mean yeah, that's pretty much what I was doing when I made $50k a year. I'd see something that was worth 2% of my gross annual income and I'd buy it.
>>12066434
Making fun of someone = throwing a bitch fit.

Litigation is time consuming in any civilised society, different types of suit can be brought by different entities including the government or law enforcement itself, the courts do not order a ‘settlement’, there are numerous remedies other than damages and things like regulatory violations are quasi-criminal in nature resulting in all kinds of sanctions including the closing of the business.

>>12066439
No, you definitely threw a bitch fit, same as every other day.

>>12066439
You must be an uncommon case, because I can't imagine how one could go from living like that to earning six figures and making wise investments without some kind of lucky break or divine intervention.

>>12066440
so what's your point

>>12066453
SO everything that guy said is wrong

>>12066455
really? i didn't read your post or his. how does that make you feel

>>12066447
> because I can't imagine
I just explained it to you. When realistic goals aren't a joke, it's easier to commit to them. It's like a morbidly obese person trying to win a fitness competition next summer, vs a fit person. An obese person wouldn't even try, because what's the point? It will just suck and they'll fail anyway.

Try to imagine a life in which people are emotionally invested in the outcomes, rather than thinking of everyone as a walking arithmetic equation. That should help I think.

>>12066449
Anyone who has a different situation from your own must be from Reddit. Thanks for your amazing detective work 4chan.
>>12066451
The only thing I remember about fast food whatsoever was when Trump fucked up a PR opportunity and misspelled hamburgers and got made fun of by Burger King on Twitter. It's almost like I don't listen to AM hate radio or something!

>>12066459
I agree, but you said that you spent money like a madman when you were scraping by, and now you make six figures and have all these goals. That's the part I have difficulty believing. How did you get a six figure gig with no ambition?

>>12066463
> I didn't hear about it except when I heard about it and seethed!
Take your retardation, to /pol/, mate. I know your new, but that's the politics board here.

>>12066466
>How did you get a six figure gig
So there's this thing called a "degree", for some reason people think they should give you more money if you have one. Or in my case, claim to have one. Oddly enough nobody has ever checked. I do have one now, but now I realize I could have just lied.
>with no ambition
I'm not really sure how that is supposed to follow at all. I had ambitions, but they didn't involve "saving a few pennies a month in a jar my whole life while renting a room in someone else's home and making poverty wages", because that would be pointless and stupid.

There are thousands of very rich Venezuelan families fighting against Maduro. The rich in general have been against Chavez and Maduro.

What do you think was happening before Chavez came along? People were starving even worst than they are now. But back then, nobody gave a shit because the elite rich Venezuelans had US support.

This. Only ignorant retards think that socialism = equality, when all the socialist societies in history had the highest class inequality and biggest gaps between the elite government officials & the poor working class.

i live in florida and as far as i know every restaurant has to provide free tap water but one time at Dunkin Donuts they tried to charge me 25 cents for a cup for "free water"
>inb4 just pay the quarter
long story short my parents staged an intervention for my neetdom after not leaving my room for 3 months and put me in a program where i had to learn to be an adult and part of the program was taking the bus around applying for jobs and i had no money so i couldn't afford the cup
it was in fucking august too it was so hot outside eventually they relented and gave me the cup but still
charge as much as you want for bottled water, but you gotta offer free tap in my opinion

I love that percentage creeping. They increase it much faster than cost of living and inflation.

Per hour waitresses are making more than the fucking chefs. Not the cooks, the fucking chefs. Stop giving them so goddamned much. Uneducated, unskilled labor does not need to drag in, I'm not exaggerating, over 80K a year.

>>12068593
Were you a customer or did you just want some water? It makes sense to charge for the cup, if you are just trying to bum water.

>>12068604
Worked in the kitchen. Entry position.

I was making $20/hour.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, but I'm not really sure why. I understand what it means to budget just fine, I'm saying I also understand why poor people in America don't bother. The ones who do bother, I have doubts about their understanding of what they're accomplishing. Do they know what hip surgery costs? Cancer treatment? Cateract surgery? Just play "spin the bottle" and pick an old folks condition, it's going to happen because that's how the human body works. One thing like that and goodbye all those small things they skipped all their life to "save for retirement". A lifetime of living in the moment, up in smoke because their eye stopped working or they need to still walk (imagine needing to walk, right?)

Do they understand what sort of investments they'd require in order to "retire" in the sense that is normally meant by the term "retire", and do they understand that they won't ever reach that amount within their projected lifespan, given the fact that they are probably going to be relying on healthcare services aimed at the extremely poor, and probably working a physical job where their earning years basically end for good at the traditional age of 55, if not sooner due to accidents or chronic work-related damage?

And what exactly would it mean for someone to "find their way to adulthood"? Is that where I gain 75 pounds and think about golf and fishing all the time? I'm happy not to ever reach "adulthood" if that is what you mean.

Point being, I can find the motivation to eschew the lifestyle inflation some of my peers have pursued, because I can still live a reasonably decent life without overspending. But a person making half of what I make? Fuck no. Someone like that literally has to stress over what brand of beer to buy - or whether they can afford beer at all.

I feel bad for people in those situations and I do not look down on them for blowing their "budget" on a nice TV, or "nigger welfare waste" as you might say.
