What are commis chef job interviews like?

I just had my first one and it was very quick and to the point, just wondering if that's normal or if I did something wrong (which isn't unlikely)

Depends where you go. The head chef at my first place had a one page written exam every applicant had to take, regardless of position (just basic shit about how to prepare some common dishes + some sanitation laws), then maybe 5 minutes going over it and my other qualifications. After that it was just a few minutes of discussing the position then they hired me on the spot.

I wouldn't try to read into how you did that much. Some chefs like to hear people sell themselves, others want to cut out the bullshit and do things quickly. Odds are you were going to get the sort of interview you did regardless of performance.

Around here in the US south, you can rent a decent 2 person apartment for under 500 usd, a car payment on a reasonably priced new car may be under 200, and you can eat at a nice restaurant for 2 for $70 with all you included.

If car payments are a major issue, there are plenty of nice used cars for less than 5000, early 2000s Nissans and toyotas. It's just way less expensive to live in the states than in many other places, especially when you consider the actual tax rate for someone making so little might be less than 20% (not sure because I haven't made so little in a long time)

Yeah, those sorts of prices, coupled with euro/aus tax rates, are why I never understand people griping about insurance costs and the like in the US. I am a federal probation officer and I work around some real shitty and destitute people, and most of them manage to make ends meet, even on tiny salaries and irregular hourly jobs. As long as you don't go crazy with luxuries, it is very inexpensive to get by in the US, and even in shitty areas, the crime rate is not as bad as you would think.

Problem is the same destitute people have to have the best phones, car accessories, new tats... sorry, I apologize for the derailment but my point is that basic living accommodations in the US are extremely affordable, even on low salaries such as we discussed. The problem arises when people who haven't got the means spend on toys.

$15 an hour isn't much by professional standards (hell, I make about 60k with killer benefits and that isn't a lot, although it is for this area, where median household income is in the low 30s) but you can get by on it, especially if you have a roommate or no kids.

If a very large segment of the population can only make end's meet and isn't able to save any money that they earn because it's all going towards day to day costs/debt, there's a problem. If you're just scraping by and you get sick, you could very easily go bankrupt. Because you got sick.

My point is to illustrate how little it takes to get by, when my offenders are able to as multiple felons.

The average person has the means to plan for contingencies... whether they do or not is beside the point. Besides, nobody actually goes bankrupt off hospital bills. They get reduced to a civil claim and come out of their tax return for the rest of eternity instead.

If you truly believe you have no purpose and won't attempt to find meaning for yourself, then you're better off killing yourself.

I never said anything about carbon taxes shit for brains. I don't believe in taxing stuff until it goes away.

I do think, however, there should be incentives like tax cuts and federal funding for clean energy research and technology to make it more competitive with oil and coal as energy resources.

However, while having these incentives, we still need oil; that's a fact. I'm in favor of safe fracking and domestic oil production to give ourselves energy independence, but it's needs to slowly phase out in the next 50 years or so for renewable energy sources, and we can only do that through research and making clean energy competitive.

Notice how none of this involves niggers or welfare

That humanity is not special. Sure, I can't prove that there is ET life somewhere else in the universe, but statistically, they probably are. And even if they didn't exist, humans still wouldn't be special. The only thing that really separates humans from other animals, the only thing we have that no other species does, is abstract thought, which produces language and art.

Take a look at the current state of language and art. What is so great about humanity that we deserve to keep destroying the planet? Why are you so adamant in believing that humanity deserves to live?

If being the only species capable of such things doesn't make us special, what would you require?

Just because I'm saying humanity = special doesn't mean I think humanity deserves to live.

Humanity as a whole? I have no right to say if humanity as a whole deserves to live, but we both know that humanity will live, even if most of us die off due to our own consumerist greed.

Saying "humanity deserves to die" is just edgy shit. Your'e just a selfish spoiled brat.

How? The whole rest of the planet works in harmony as a whole ecosystem, but humanity fucks everything up and brings nothing but death and destruction. I'd rather there be a peaceful, serene planet with no sentient life than one that is being ruined by sentient life. Wouldn't putting other species before my own be the opposite of selfish?

How does wanting the things you want not make humanity special?

We're the only species that both could destroy and could save the planet, at least by doing so intentionally or through other desires.

I'm not disagreeing with you in some ways, but I don't think the total destruction of our species is warranted just to save the Earth.

Like, what are you even saving it for?

For humans? Nope.

The Earth is sentient, so is it for other life? Well ok, but the Earth has come back from equally terrible things. Those species are sentient enough to care.

The thing is, I don't have to do a damn thing to ensure the destruction of humanity. We'll destroy ourselves, either through pollution or nuclear war. Or perhaps a great plague will descend upon us. The Earth will be okay in the end, once it corrects itself and gets rid of us. In that, I can take comfort.

I kind of agree with you, but I think it's the moral thing to do to live a life of pleasure. What's the point of life if you aren't enjoying it? I think there are limits however- you shouldn't pleasure yourself from something that intrudes on the pleasure of another person.

Would you call yourself an existentialist or an absurdist? I'm depressed right now, so I'm feeling pretty nihilistic, but when I'm manic, I tend to lean more towards Camus' teachings. I like the idea of embracing the absurd disconnect between humanity's search for meaning and the objective lack of one, rather than the existentialist view that we can ignore the absurdity and create our own meanings.
