By this logic the perfect government is where everyone votes on everything.
I mean, that’s basically Switzerland (more or less). Apparently it CAN work, though the question is whether it can work at scale (Switzerland is approx. the size of Maryland).
Am I supposed to sleep with it?
Can’t it, like, maybe use my living room instead?
I guess they must use their magic to pull the trigger…
Have you considered trying to come up with a new plan?
At the beginning of the early modern period, you had two classes: peasants and aristocrats.
IDK, I think that’s a bit of an oversimplification. Not everyone was either an aristocrat or a peasant, there were also tradespeople, craftsmen, innkeepers, merchants, traders, bankers, and of course the clergy (who would often wield enormous power themselves, even over the aristocrats, because they generally had to give their blessing to whatever the rulers decided to do).
None of these really fit neatly into the peasant/aristocrat dichotomy (except perhaps for the clergy), but I suppose one could lump the rest of them all in together and call them middle class (or townsfolk). Not all of them were rich, of course (in fact, many were probably not), but some of them did quite well for themselves.
Oh wait, that actually exists on Lemmy? Nice
Sorry, I may have misunderstood that. What you meant was they ARE part of the 99% but they don’t consider themselves that way, correct?
TIL the middle class is part of the 1%
Correct. This did in fact happen in No Time to Die.
No, that’s the current president of Mexico
Well, at least the Pulitzer Prize makes sense, I guess.
Perhaps they should just go with the flow
Honestly, I’ve seen that more often in higher end sushi (i.e. sit-down restaurant) than in the cheap kind (i.e. grocery store takeout). Or perhaps it’s a bell curve, where the center consists of “this is expensive enough already, let’s not waste food by throwing parts of it away”.
I think ultimately, it really comes down to presentation. Cutting the roll after frying it exposes the center, which makes it look colorful and appetizing. If you battered and fried the pieces individually, they’d simply be brown on all sides and look like oversized pickle chips. It basically makes every piece into a (double) end piece.
You can cut off the ends, and the middle SHOULD be undercooked (raw, in fact), that’s kinda the whole point of sushi.
Sure, but that still adds unnecessary prep time.
If you’re making a roll from scratch, it’s simply faster, easier, and more practical to fry the entire thing before cutting it. But yes, if you wanted to do this with individual pieces, I’m sure that would probably work.
Usually that’s done by battering and frying the entire roll before cutting it.
Doing it with individual pieces is possible, of course, but it massively increases the chance of overcooking the center, which usually is not desired.
Well, if you’re already going to waste pack of sushi for the purpose of making a shitpost, might as well use the cheapest one you can find
Okay, so long story short, there definitely WAS a middle class that enjoyed higher social and economic mobility than peasants, but definitely nowhere near aristocracy.
