Yeah I don't disagree with the article, but at the same time I can't shake that vibe that the author is also guilty of precisely the same crime they're finger-wagging about: shaming other people for their passions and preferences.
It was a nice article, but also left a slightly sour aftertaste; surely you can just say "actually prepeeled garlic has its own set of benefits which you may not have thought of, here is a nice article pointing some out" and leave it at that, without going for the "you ableist scum" narrative to get the point across.
I like peeling garlic when I cook. The implication that I henceforth have to consider myself posh privileged ableist scum whenever I peel garlic is not something I particularly cared for to be honest.
- gonzo41 4y agoI've recovered from serious injuries before, mostly broken bones, but there's been some nerve stuff in there as well. I think the article is more to say something is better than nothing. To me it seems like a person finding a way to live like themselves and embracing the fact that they are becoming their own source of influence. Anyway, sometimes I'm so tired from the programming mines that heating up a frozen meal or even driving to pickup take out feels like I've done something.
- tpoacher 4y agoYeah, I know the feeling. :brohug: I find the secret is small victories. Or, probably part of the secret anyway. :)
