Everything wrong with western civilization in a paragraph

"I enjoy playing WOW, I enjoy playing Lord of the Rings Online. But you know... I'm going to be a bit cheeky now, but if you've been to McDonalds for four or five years, and had your burger and your Coke, sometimes it's great to just have a great steak and a glass of good wine. I think that's what we're trying to do. It's more expensive, it's not for everyone and perhaps it's not as easily accessible as WOW is. But it could be more meaty."

    True.

    But Western culture is built on the founding lie that steak is good eating.

    Sleep is for mortals. Nighttime is the time when you can sneak around town and steal stuff.

    steak is okay when made properly, but the seasonings tend to be "uncomplicated" and I like my food spicier than that.

    hamburgers are almost always a good idea, though.

    but why play WoW or LOTRO when Destiny is just as addictive but cheaper in the long run?

    you still sorta have to pay to keep playing with the DLC situation and everything, but it's better than a subscription

    cuz they're very different games.

    also idk I've never considered "addictive" a quality judgment, it's just a characteristic a game can have. Like "colorful".

    Steak au poivre, my man.

    I like steak when my grandparents pay for us to go to a Japanese steakhouse and they cook it on the flattop right in front of you and the chef knows all sorts of neat knife tricks

    And even then it's more the entertainment value than the food that appeals to me

    I love hibachi grills!

    I actually really like Japanese cuisine in general. Have since I was really little. The basic ingredients and preparation just really click with me. Haven't had rice gruel, though.

    I have progressively liked steak less and less, to the point of pretty much hating it. Steak au poivre, hibachi grills, beef especially, chicken fried is the most tolerable to the point of liking it (hah), hamburger is the devil's food, Salisbury is only slightly better, fish is below chicken, pork is weird.

    If regulations, processing, killing, etc. were better I'd like steaks more; but even then meat-based products still give me strongly mixed feelings at best.
