Cannot believe the $ ppl now spend on food over other types of entertainment. Friends of all ages seem to regard eating out as the exemplary social activity but also to dress it up as adventurous, discerning, politically engaged (organic) , and an everyday thing. To me it is just a combination of gluttony, mid class aspiration, and a lack of imagination. I cringe when i see cooking shows using religous words like divine, heavenly, bliss and frame the chef(cook) as an important vocation. I see murder when someone tells me how amzing their barrista (cooffee maker) is.
How does the descent into foodie culture sit with ozbargainers who must hold a latte and compute that since milk is$1 a litre and a 5kg tub of instant roast is $9 that this fad is for the sheeple
Cannot believe the time ppl now spend on starting ridiculous discussions over other types of entertainment. Friends of all ages seem to regard absurd posts as the exemplary social activity but also to dress it up as adventurous, discerning, politically engaged , and an everyday thing. To me it is just a combination of ego, boredom, and an over-active imagination. I cringe when I see OPs pretending religious words like divine, heavenly, bliss are blasphemous in a non-religious context and frame tweeting as an important vocation. I see murder when someone tells me how amazing their selfies are.
How does the descent into social media culture sit with ozbargainers who must hold an iPhone and compute that since sand is 50c/kg that this fad is for the sheeple.
