    That grill does appear to be on though if you look at the knobs? Just because you can't see flame in your grill doesn't mean it's not on, if anything you typically don't want to see flame in a gas grill. I mean do people think those clearly cooked hotdogs were cooked somewhere else and then brought here and staged here? Also store bought burger patties are fine if you're cooking for a lot of people, nice hand crafted burgers are only worth it in small batches for folks who will appreciate it...on cookout day nobody wants a fancy burger. Honestly dunk on libs all day but I don't see much to dunk on here other than "boomer grills meat"

      The most dunkable thing is putting the cheese on this early. You're supposed to cook the burger first and finish with the cheese

        Yeah that's fair, at least cook one side first. I think some burnt cheese ends is okay but you do have to at least cook half of it first.

      Sometimes it seems like there are a lot of people on the left who sort of "fall for" the outrage bait from rightwing sources. Sometimes I know it's just jokes and all, but sometimes it feels like people are just excited to shit on liberals and will believe anything. I don't like it when other leftists remind me of my uncle on Facebook or something.

      Those burgers appear to be totally raw. It really seems like they did get some grilled sausage from elsewhere and the s lapped them on there.

      If it is legit why the fuck did they totally cook the sausages before adding cheese to a clearly uncooked gray burger patty.

        Hotdogs cook a lot faster than burgers, it wouldn't be uncommon to cook the hotdogs first, then move them to the other side to stay warm while the burgers cook. Something is wrong with those burgers though, someone said they look microwaved and I tend to agree.

      Store-bought is ok, but you cook them (at least on one side) before you put the cheese on. He's gonna have to flip that burger cheese side down. This really isn't right. stalin-stressed

          Whats up with not liking dairy? Is it the digestion?

            It's not about ”not liking” dairy. It's about it being an exploitative industry, and eating dairy basically means you're contributing to the meat industry too. There's no retirement home for cows that stop producing milk.

            Also, it should go without saying, but adult humans don't need milk, especially from another species.

                  As an Indian who was fasting today, milk was the primary source of nutrition. Its not about need but the availability and nutrition values, i certainly stay clear of camel or goat stuff. You don't need high fructose corn syrup either

                              Its a yearly thing, baby is born, baby stays for 5 or so months, then when they are good on grass, they are either sent off to another cow keeper, farmer if ox or kept-is it that hard to comprehend cows living peacefully in a country that considers them sacred?

                              Why must I explain cow maintenence in India when all i wanted to know was why vegans dont consume dairy?

                                If you'll humor me, I'm walking you through a few of the reasons.

                                Its a yearly thing, baby is born, baby stays for 5 or so months, then when they are good on grass, they are either sent off to another cow keeper, farmer if ox or kept

                                As you describe, typically, the calves are separated from their mother, whose excess milk is then harvested and consumed by humans like you. The male calves are culled, eaten, or (rarely) used for breeding. This alone is fundamentally exploitative and vegans like me believe supporting it is morally reprehensible. But if that isn't sufficiently questionable for your scruples, in order to produce the separated calf (and stimulate milk production), the dairy cows are regularly forcibly inseminated. When they are no longer productive, they are culled and their carcasses are deconstructed and sold for as much profit as possible. Obviously cows cannot consent to any of this.

                                s it that hard to comprehend cows living peacefully in a country that considers them sacred

                                If that country allows the proliferation of an industry that profits from the extraction of products oftheir bodies, yes.

                                  Your whole second point about culling and forced insemination falls off in Outside the cultures that enjoy its consumption.

                                  The last point stands for every food consumed.

                                In addition, cows have to be tricked into letting their milk down to be collected by humans. Without their calf present they'll hold their milk and nothing comes out.

                                In short, it's theft.

            The general consensus of the Hexbear vegan community is that animal products come from exploitation that is wholly unethical. The wider site has mixed feelings on this, and after many a struggle session the peace was made by the mods having people mark pictures of meat NSFW and telling everyone to stop fighting about veganism in general.

            Dairy cows are forcibly impregnated (repeatedly) because unlike what you've been taught, cows do not just produce milk. But with the milk also comes a baby cow of course, so they take the baby cow and they torture it to death (that's what veal is) or they raise it as a beef cow or as another dairy cow to continue the cycle. Now that the baby is out of the way, they steal the milk and sell it to you and repeat the process. They do this for a few years until their brutalized victim is literally too exhausted and unhealthy to produce milk anymore, at which point they murder it and sell its meat to you too (cows can live for decades, this happens after only a few years).

    Why don't the wealthy like grilling? What the fuck are these people eating? They're always so weird about food, but it's like if I were wealthy I would actually eat the food at the attractions. If I didn't care about spending $25 for chicken tenders at a basketball game then why not? That sensation was one of my favorite parts of being abroad. The meals increased from $3 to $6 while I was a captive audience. I went down to the bar to get a bottle of water and a juice and I thought the teenagers at the bar had said it was going to cost 10x what they took. When they gave me the change back I was confused for a moment.

    Are the rich exclusively getting fancy dining and private chefs? Is it always the plate with the little bit of sauce whipped onto it? Do they not sometimes want a simple meal they make themselves without having to text somebody that they're hungry? Do they also have someone draw for them? Do they have exploited labor journal for them as well? "Here Jones, take my phone and go be out and enjoy nature in my stead, I have to go make sure children don't eat." I want to pity them for never experiencing the stillness that comes from household chores.
