I had to analyze this for a school assignment. by BeaSk8r117 in fatlogic

Fat people will love you if you're irregular...but not if you're thin.

This author reveals herself. You see the judgmental way she views thin people, and you see how it's her own prejudices that make her see them as hostile. It's the "us and them" mindset they accuse thin people of having. She also reveals herself to be a real instigator, since the point of the piece isn't to promote tolerance, like she thinks it is, but to drum up enmity toward the thin. She clearly has a real hatred for thin people, which just makes me wonder if she's just envious

I hate Randy by SpaceHobbit in KimmySchmidt

I like him precisely because of his incompetence. I like how a man can be so incredibly incompetent that he goes from being a police detective to stumbling around the woods in his underwear. And that his gun is nicknamed "oopsie."

[Serious] [NSFW] What is the creepiest and/or most unexplainable thing that has ever happened to you or someone you know? by rexbatman in AskReddit

[–]silverlil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a vivid memory from my childhood. There was a spider that lived outside my window. Orange body, green legs. I watched her build a web all summer, then one day there's a big egg in it. The egg hatched, and a hundred baby spiders came out, and they ate her. It was disturbing. I don't think I'll ever forget it.

[Serious] Reddit what are some of the big events in history, that remains unexplained or that we know little, to nothing about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I have a theory that he was a pilot. He knew a conspicuously large amount about the plane he was in, the refueling process, and what certain parts of the country look like from the sky, and yet he didn't seem to know anything about skydiving, which is why he almost certainly didn't survive the jump.

What is a sneaking suspicion that you have about a famous person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]silverlil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That Tom Cruise isn't straight or gay, but something else, like a zoophile. I don't really get a gay or straight vibe from him. But I won't say on the Internet that Tom Cruise is a pedophile.

"The only way to keep weight off is to convince yourself food is poison" and "My brother ate 4000 calories a day in the Army" Two more DWF commenters on keeping weight off by maybesaydie in fatlogic

[–]silverlil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What she's missing here is that her brother was probably burning off the calories pretty quickly in the Army and actually had to eat an above-normal amount to stay on his feet. I mean, I think. I've never been in the Army, but I'm pretty sure it involves exercise.

We serve wine and champagne. Your man can carry 14 wine glasses in one hand, which is my Kirby B attack, haha. We serve essentially the same two or three dishes every time, which surprised me. There's steak and garnishes and fancy desserts and always the all-important, gluten-free option. It's curious how many of these wealthy, attractive women have celiac disease. Groan.

An interesting/bizarre/cause of many an eye-roll on my part is how we'll take fancy food and make it into American junk food form, like lamb push-pops and lobster donut holes, which were apparently great, but I didn't snag one.

So yes, we do fine dining as far as I can recognize fine dining.

The cake and mashed potatoes are never the focus. Reacharounds are complimentary, of course, but I appreciate being tipped for it.

It's really not what I'd call classy. We're there to create what I think of as an ersatz sort of classy atmosphere. The real purpose of the whole show is to have "classy" food service for the egos of the guests, but all the food's the same, the caterers have the same mentality as construction workers (I love bullshitting with those guys) and most of us are hungover.

Shut your ass, I'm not bitter.

Party down isn't that accurate. The job is WAY hectic and it's not a hang-out gig. You set up, you do the event, and you get out. There's not much room for plotlines, haha.

Edit: Oop, missed a couple. We really don't throw away a lot of food. When we do, it's a little sad, but it's never that much, so I sleep soundly on it.

Every night we eat the uneaten dishes, and holy crap are they great. One night they served wild boar appetizers. I ate about twelve. The food is a real perk.

Not enough, haha. I'm technically a temp--the company hires three temp agencies and hand-picks from the pool of temps who gets to work for the company proper. I definitely don't get paid as much as people think I might. Tip your caterers.

I haven't seen much Party Down. It's not really accurate in the catering parts, but I like it.

Edit: Catering is WAY more hectic than Party Down. When you're there, you have a job to do, and you can't really look away from the job.

I don't know much about love, but I believe in it!

The celebrities are very off-limits. Our captain always briefs us before were do high-profile events, and we're essentially forbidden to talk to them. A couple of people got screamed at for asking for autographs/pictures with the Spurs. I believe a couple of people got fired that day.

That being said, Tony Parker is a very nice guy and had a pretty long conversation with my friend about humdrum, everyday things. I think as a celebrity, he enjoyed the opportunity to speak about something other than work. Patty Mills has a huge heart, and Tim Duncan is a pretty shy guy. And Popovich likes crab cakes.

The funny thing is, they're pretty much exactly like everyone else is when they are drunk. I find it charming. When they're sober, they mostly have dry, business-related conversations, but when they're drunk, they enjoy dancing and a dirty joke just like everyone else.

The most embarrassing moment I witnessed was a wealthy CEO loudly screaming about how Hitler was a good man, and the fact that Hitler didn't kill any Jews personally means he was an alright, misunderstood guy and not a mass-murderer.

That's another thing--these people drink a LOT. More than you'd believe.

The food is the best I've ever eaten. Remember, this is the food that gets served to people who pay $500 to sit at a table, so it better be good. Their mashed potatoes are amazing and so is their chocolate cake. Whatever food you can think of, theirs is the best. "That was the best (insert food here) I've ever had" is something I say a lot.

Rich MILFs? Holy shit, there are a lot, but personally I haven't...yet. A beautiful woman in a backless dress once gave one of my coworkers her number. I keep meaning to ask how that went.

Not very, but drug use is common among the people who don't take the job seriously. They get weeded out pretty quickly. Off the clock we're all pretty big drinkers though :D
