If there was ever a post to try and scream out, “look at me, I’m so smart with my big words”
*Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?*
What the fuck is this about?
“Verbal diarrhoea” is what my English teacher would have called that.
Word salad, a tool used by narcissistic arseholes with the intent to confuse people into agreement.
If your rhetoric doesn’t use language that’s accessible to the people who it’s supposedly for, then it is not valid rhetoric.
He was my constitutional law lecturer when I was in Uni.
Smart guy.
His Twitter, however, is a bit much, to be honest.
I preferred when he focused on his PHD work, which was on secularisation, etc. He wrote a book on the subject, etc.
Seeks to have drifted more into politics than law these days.
The true art form is saying something complex with simple words not the inverse like this gobshite.
I was friendly enough with this guy in secondary school – he was nice enough but he used shite on a bit like this even back then.
He helped fuck up housing and regularly says tone deaf shit about people who can’t afford to buy a house or who struggle to pay rent. But let’s rip into him for meal prepping.
Have you ever read such utter verbal scutter in your life?
Verbal assaultage of my visual optimisational apparatus, truly a barrage for the information processing
I can’t remember the exact quote but Orwell said if you can explain something in simple words then you should choose to do so.
No reason I’m randomly thinking about that.
*”If I say enough big words people will think I’ve said something clever”*
So basically the fact that I have a couple of frozen Bologneses in the freezer means that I hate all people on the social? Cool story.
His Twitter is a parody of itself. A guy looking around to apply his analytical superpowers to the most ordinary of shite in order to ….. appear clever. Poor guy needs to get off his high bicycle and Twitter.
Fella found out what a thesaurus was recently enough
Read it really quickly…….
Then say “Parklife!”
It’s a friendly reminder that people need to get out more.
A lot of people have Leo derangement syndrome, it’s funny
“He can compress the most words into the fewest ideas of any man I ever knew.”
Much easier to say “showing off meal prep is for those who pretend to have their shit together”
Lads… Its tupperware in a fridge.
I think he’s saying that showing off your meal prep is showing off how you have optimised your time to the nth degree in comparison to lazy dole scroungers. You are organised and ready to be a good worker.
Bit soapboxy and very rambley.
I do envy Southern Europeans alright though: how they take time out of their day to prepare and enjoy their lunch with friends/family instead of eating reheated pasta out of a tupperware box. It does mean they finish their work day later though.
We’re all “neoliberal” here whether we like it or not…
I wonder what arts degree he did
Someone’s ma didn’t make their lunch this morning
But what about the housing crisis
Imagine writing the word “espouses” in a tweet to slag off a politicians fridge.
The guy is a fucking loon. Needs to touch grass, but I do think he’s representative of a certain kind of anti-government sentiment that has just become (in some places) so devoid of rational criticism, which is unfortunate because there’s plenty of criticism to be had.
The baffling thing is he goes on to say he meal preps also, saying that it’s a gym culture thing
So Leo bad me good?
Or Leo bad cause he appropriates my gym culture?
Maybe he wouldn’t be a “aspiring but struggling athlete” if you laid of the wine and Twitter a d actually put the mind to it…. While we are all slinging shite
Maybe he just wants to have meals on the go without getting robbed with the prices of eating out?? Certainly why I do it
r/iamverysmart
Decided to play the game of, can I translate what he said in a simpler way – but unfortunately it came out longer (but that is what using big words is for)
“While it is fun to laugh at the fact that Leo didn’t use lids or appear to have any vegetables I would like to take this moment to talk about the bigger implications of “Meal Prep”. Images of Meal preps on social media is a part of a wider social media trend of Personal Productivity, or the “grind set mind set”. The goal of meal prep is to be efficient with your time, all with the aim of being more productive during the week. It means giving over one of your days of rest to prepare for the week. Meaning that your are always living with one eye towards the work week, towards being “productive”. This idea of constant productivity and efficiency on the surface has nothing wrong with it – after all we all have busy lives and the work day is cutting more and more into our free time – but it creates a social pressure when it is shared on social media. “look at me, *I’m* able to do all this work and have my meals prepped – I have the same numbers of hours in my day as Beyoncé, why are YOU not able to make the most out of your time, Rise and Grind BABY!”. But individuals rising and grinding and being efficient with their time does not tackle the bigger problems, the work days getting longer, the work itself become more meaningless and the rising cost of living. All it does is leave individuals smug, acting like they are better than the rest of us”
​
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah a bit long winded.
😂 I’m as left as they come and I think this is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read in awhile.
What an utter nonsense take. I meal prep because I don’t want to cook everyday, it’s cheap and it helps keep me healthy. I am on welfare at the moment. Who is this absolute lunatic?
Remember that episode of Friends where Joey wrote a letter but ran it through a thesaurus on every word to sound smarter?
I saw that last night. It’s absolutely demented. I just can’t get into the head of someone who thinks like that, imagine having the time and energy to get so mad about a guy’s fridge?
I actually read someone yesterday giving out about him responding to the criticism, saying he has better things to be doing. Hello….we all have.
Just reads as a chap too rooted in social sciences theory tbh. As for meal prep it’s great for hitting amino acid and protein targets post gym can slow cook beef stews in advance.
Are “-ations” the new “-isms”?
I’m all for taking shots at Leo but it’s just food in a fridge for fuck sake……
We need a lid for that word salad 🥗
If we had more people prepping healthy food in reasonable portions in advance we would make a big dent in the amount of overweight and obese men, women and children we see around.
If you’re framing personal responsibility as a bad thing that says a lot about you as a person
Met Eireann have issued a smug alert in the area surrounding this tweet. Brown level warning
I like your funny words magic man
Sees picture of fridge: ..Fucking neoliberals
Leo nibblerism
Gastronomical grimness: the food is ugly
Self-quantification and self-optimisation: the culture of calorie tracking and making everything in your life “efficient”
Moralistic neoliberalism that Varadkar espouses: Varadkar’s stating of his neoliberal ideology
Personal responsibilisation: the belief that people are responsible for their own welfare, and that there government isn’t responsible
Stigmatisation: treating people as inferior
So basically:
“I don’t care that the food is ugly, but Varadkar is promoting a belief that food should be ruthlessly efficient. Poor people don’t have the opportunity to do this so Varadkar is implying that they’re inferior because they’re poor”
I don’t particularly agree with it, but that’s what he means anyway
I was thinking about why so many in the radical left participate in “speedrunning”
The reason is the left’s lack of work ethic (‘go fast’ rather than ‘do it right’) and, in a Petersonian sense, to elevate alternative sexual archetypes in the marketplace (‘fastest mario’).
(Seriously, “responsibilisation”? What does that even mean?)
