How helpful are the cooking and baking primitives, when it comes to helping us understand the primitives in general?
Over the years, I myself paid only sporadic attention to the cooking and baking primitives. The first time was for a few months during the Scamdal of 2005, when my fellow alum Skins banned discussion of the issue, and so the Andyite primitives resorted to exchanging recipes for chicken soup in the cooking and baking forum there.....it of course being a stupid junior-high "trick" of talking in "code."
When still at our old home, because the "General Discussion" forum on Skins's island seemed to be the source of nearly all threads in the "Best/Worst of DU" forum, I occasionally tried to vary the fare by finding offerings from other forums on Skins's island (including the cooking and baking forum).
In doing so, it appears franksolich inadvertently killed the deaf-and-hard-of-hearing forum on Skins's island; it was never a really active forum, but man, the past few years, it's gotten more congested with cobwebs than with air.
For a while, I tried the sports forum on Skins's island, but after the cboy4 primitive, the only primitive with a sense of humor, was chased off Skins's island, the sports forum degenerated to nothing more than watching a bunch of dwarfish retards--especially the truemud primitive and the forked primitive--bibbling-and-babbling-and spitting about things which they know naught, and so that got boring.
Ditto for the automotive forum from Skins's island.
I always found the cooking and baking forum a rich source of material when it comes to observing and evaluating the primitives in general--after all, the politics of the primitives permeate all they do and think, even their food--but lately that mother lode's been starting to peter out, what with the sparkling husband primitive, Mrs. Alfred Packer, and the defrocked warped primitive not being as active there as they used to be.
Much to my surprise, a cooking and baking campfire where the primitives discussed cakes demonstrated at cooking shows, drew about four times as many "views" and comments from decent and civilized people, than usual. I have no idea why, but that's what happened.
But generally, overall, how helpful are the cooking and baking primitives, in helping us to understand primitivity?

I find them amusing.
Especially when they find insects in their cake/pancake mixes. :lmao: And then, actually eat them. :hammer:

Been there, that, but, it was forty years ago, on the other side of the big pond. :rotf:

I find them amusing and a fun break from their political stupidity.

Somewhat helpful. The discussions in the cooking and baking section confirm attitudes in the other areas. The primitives seem wasteful, helpless and without a clear direction or autonomy.

As useless as every other DUmbshit on the Island of Misfit ****-ups.
If they were innovative in using the equipment and resources at hand instead of needing a specific tool for every specific application, it might be useful reading, but...

That's why I think the cooking and baking primitives are useful, when it comes to trying to understand the primitives in general.
And there is something in particular that's always fascinated me about the cooking and baking primitives.
These are primitives who frankly admit to being gluttons, who whine about bad food, and incessantly brag about their fine foods and not least, their truckloads of kitchen implements.
These are also primitives who wear their "virtue" on their sleeves, who allege themselves to care about the plight of those poorer than themselves.
There are of course decent and civilized people who have their peculiar cravings and likes when it comes to food, who complain about bad food or bad service (at a restaurant), and who boast of their fancy kitchen stuff.
But decent and civilized people get no grief from franksolich.
There is a difference here, after all.
A very important difference.
Decent and civilized people do not wear their virtue on their sleeves, arrogantly bragging about how much they care about other people. Decent and civilized people act privately and quietly. Decent and civilized people care--and care a great deal--and feeding the hungry is so much an automatic second nature to them they don't talk about it any more than they talk about breathing or taking a piss. It's just something they do.
Primitives on the other hand talk their alleged virtues, but never practice them.
(I suppose this is a big issue for me, being deaf and all that, always having to judge people by what they do, not being able to hear what they say.)
As someone who has seen--and for such a long time, remember--real poverty, real deprivation, real hunger, in the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants; I touched it, I smelled it, I tasted it, I lived it--I find the whining and complaints and "wants" and "needs" of the cooking and baking primitives contemptible, loathesome, abysmally selfish and decadent.
When a cooking and baking primitive whines about having gotten a bad jar of jelly or about the service at a fancy restaurant; when a cooking and baking primitive boasts of gluttony and good chow, it is a slap on the face of hundreds of millions, if not a couple or three billions, of other people in this world lacking even a crust of stale dry old bread.
The "picture" that appears in this imagination, whenever I go to the cooking and baking forum on Skins's island, even before I've looked at a campfire, is that of a whole bunch of fat pigs sitting at a banqueting table, guzzling down fine wines, chomping on fine foods, whining that there's not enough of it, or that it's not perfect, wasting most of it tossing it around, wiping their asses with linen napkins, and loudly boasting how much they "care" about those less fortunate then they.....
.....while outside the windows there's a lot of grey, gaunt, starving people wanting to have at least a crumb.
A bunch of fat, decadent, old, flaccid fat pigs.
It's not my fault I get this "picture;" it's their own self-portraits, painted by they themselves, of the cooking and baking primitives.
(And of the primitives in general.)
