When men were real men

[tattuchu]

Same when me and the wife baked a cake, cost about £70 in materials and took 4 hours, these days I buy one for £3 down the supermarket.

What the hell kind of cake did you make?

Baking tins, electrical mixy whirly thing, thing to crush biscuits with, bowl to measure ingredients, scales, cooking things. We still have them used only once!

You know, normal people already have all those things Actually, maybe not anymore. Lots of people don't make things themselves anymore. I still do, though. My family still does.

I'm curious about the crushed biscuits. What's that all about? That's not the sort of thing that ordinarily goes into or onto a cake over here

When I lived overseas I had this wonderful appliance that did all those things and more. Did the washing, ironing, cooking, cleaning, pretty much everything. It's called a "maid".

I thought I hired one of those but she takes about 50% of my wages , and spends most her time trying to get more. Not enough shoes or something and expects me to do house things as well

You know British biscuits are not American biscuits!, ours are very suitable for cakes

n Commonwealth English and Hiberno-English, a biscuit is a small baked product that would be called either a "cookie" or a "cracker" in the United States and sometimes a "cookie" in English-speaking Canada.[1] Biscuits in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man and Ireland may be savoury (savoury biscuits are often referred to as "crackers") or sweet, such as chocolate biscuits, ginger nuts, custard creams, or the Nice biscuit. Although in Commonwealth Nations and Ireland, the term "cookie" may be synonymous with "biscuit", it may locally refer to specific types of biscuits or breads.[2]

I know what a British biscuit is But my question still stands: how do biscuits relate to cakes

[MrJonno]

Plain biscuits crushed up give you your base for a cheesecake, hey if you don't like it ask a proper cook who knows what they are doing

Oh, a cheesecake. Okay well that makes perfect sense now. But you said cake before, not cheesecake. A cheesecake is an entirely different animal. And quite a bit more expensive and time-consuming to make. So buying store-bought in the case of a cheesecake is certainly understandable

Are we back to being real men yet?

I think those are classified as "fixed costs", and should not be included in the production cost.

But seeing as you used them only once, you may be right.

Real men love biscuits! Sometimes with gravy, sometimes on cake.

Real men drink gin!

Also were is this I'm a MRA crap coming from, they are beta males wh o think claiming victim status will help them get sympathy when the gynocracy has that angle sewn up. There is nothing wrong with equal (rights wise) but different through biology. There are too many on this site who are cultural Marxist and have swallowed feminist ideology. Still your loss just don't think you will get away with censorship.

Dude, you're using the language those concepts and standing up for those values. If you're not an MRA, you're somewhere in the manosphere. To the rest of us are, it all looks pretty much the same. You're all packed together in the same conceptual box.

I'm not without sympathy for the MRAs as I have had to watch helpless as some of my friends lives were destroyed as they lost everything they own and also lost contact with their children. I even lost a good friend when he commited suicide as the family courts took everything that was dear to him. I have personally watch mates I loved and cared for being ruined before my eyes. There wasn't anything anyone could do as the laws left them any avenue for justice, the law was totally aagainst them and there was nothing they or anyone else could do. Don't you fucking dare tell me am sexist against women while they have stood by while fathers rights cease to exist.

I empathize what they are fighting for but the only way to win is not to play aka pay for big daddy government. Fuck feminism/cultural marxism I would rather watch the world burn.

[Hermit]

Oh, look. A dodo. I wonder what kind of dodo this is.

Let me see, now. It walks like an MRA. It talks like an MRA...
