This is honestly just a sad case study in people putting way too much value in other peoples opinions. In this case literal complete strangers. And it’s a uniquely modern phenomenon because even 15-20 years ago it would have been nearly impossible to find these people who take pride in gate keeping. The modern world has given these people a massive megaphone and outsized influence.
Their opinions are bad, they should feel bad, and you should ignore them with prejudice. Live your own life and be happy. You don’t need to min/max everything because some loudmouth purist on the internet insists it.
I’ve seen Gordon Ramsay cook with tomatoes from a can. Go ahead and use whatever you find simplest or most cost effective and truly who gives a shit what internet experts think.

Especially in cooking, notions of what constitutes proper cooking, especially when evaluating women's worth as house keepers, have been extremely common in the vast majority of traditional societies, along with the toxicity.
- parkingrift 4y agoSnobs have always existed. What I said it was hard to find those snobs because you had to actually meet them in real life. There was no Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit to tell people what they're doing wrong. You had to go find a book, join a club, read a newspaper, or something similar. It was exponentially more difficult to find a snob.
