Christians regularly ignore the 10 commandments, the most basic of rules in their religion. Of course they’ll ignore the stuff that means they can’t eat tasty pork
There's a reason on the doors or windows there are openings and closings. Nobody is going to roll the red carpet out for you with 10 minutes left because they know all that you're going to do is waltz in and take time beyond 10 minutes.
Ground truth here: I don’t know if you’re ready for it, but despite being the capital of the confederacy, Richmond is close enough to the east coast megalopolis that it is more northern than not. Yes, we still have those problems here, but we are moving in the right direction. One residents opinion.
I second this opinion from my comfy vantage point in North Chesterfield. Just don’t move near Hull and Broad Rock or you’ll be moving again within a year (nightclub opened across the alley, heroin and sex work all over, and my neighbor murdered someone… LOL)
Yeah I like Richmond. Good weather; good food; good beer; outdoor activities; proximity to beaches, mountains, and vineyards… Like you said, political ideology is moving in the right direction.
Even if they’re not, every moment arguing with one of them is a moment not filling your ticket quota. It’s sort of like the reason cops don’t stop lawyered-up white suburbanites.
I’m an American working in the u.s. for a company based in Germany. They have soooo many more days off than us. They’re out at least 3 months of the year before taking additional PTO. They like to bring their European values of work to the u s. But unfortunately that doesn’t mean that I get any more off time. I save all year from January to December and if I never took any of it my PTO amounts to 3 weeks. If you’re an American they have different standards for you because american work culture means getting fucked and hating your life lol.
That being said I still feel like the days I get are generous and I am happy and grateful. But that’s only because I used to get nothing at my old job. It’s only crappy if I compare to others which is the thief of joy and whatnot.
bread requires figuring out that ground up grain with water can be poured onto a rock heated up by fire and made into a tasty pancake thingy
a knife requires a sharp rock, a stick, and a bit of rope made out of tightly twisted plant fibers
i’m reasonably confident if i was thrown into a jungle i’d be able to DIY myself a basic knife within a day or two, perhaps even before getting mauled by wild animals. Bread though? Even with the foresight of knowing what i need i’d struggle. Rocks, sticks, and plants are pretty much everywhere. Where do i find wild grain??
When processed, the meat bits, (and yes they are leftover meat bits), are ground into a paste with water added, (nearly all ham you buy has “Water Added” listed on the tag - exception would be something like “country ham” or prosciutto ham), then pumped into a carboy, (the paste is then called babbit), seasonings are then mixed in and then molded by machine into a glorious block 'o ham! To be sold at your local Deli as part of a delicious sandwich for which you happily pay your “hardly earned” monies.
Eh, such products minimize the waste of things that would otherwise be thrown away and lost. Us humans have been processing the scraps and leftovers of our food into other edible products for as long as we can remember - Waste not, Want not.
The problem is the disconnect modern urbanites have from their food and not knowing how it gets made. If you like deli ham eat it! (in moderation as all things should be), it’s not all that different in processing than a hot dog, sausage, or hamburger. Or even cheese…
How is that any different than a sausage, hamburger, or any other food using ground meat? If we are going to eat meat, it’s better to utilize as much of the animal as possible.
