So anyway you repeatedly say we only feel corn husks and similar inedible parts to cattle but Never add a source to back it up. Having worked on farms I’m afraid for the most part the feeds I’ve seen have been parts entirely edible to humans. And like fuck man 5% of all grown soy is fed to humans or however the stat goes, do you really think the remaining 95% is inedible? really?

Anyway yeah I’m asking for a source here cause I don’t want to add this on to months old post

Ingredients such as “grain by-products” are referring to the husks, stalks, and other “green” parts of the plant that we humans don’t actually have the digestive capabilities to eat. The breakdown of most livestock feeds looks like the above when you actually take a look at it.

Different cattle feed, similar ingredients. Still primarily things that, and I have to stress this, you cannot eat. This one is slightly higher in quality and does indeed have actual grain products included. Some of those are edible to humans. Some are not. Generally cattle are fed cattle cubes with supplemental mineral licks and hay. Some also supplement with whole corn, but I can gladly assure you that corn is not in short supply and even if all the corn sold to animal feed was donated to the poor, you can’t actually live off of corn because there’s very little nutrition in it. Hence why in both human and animal food it’s typically seen as a filler ingredient. Keeps the mouth busy with a meal without making your stomach feel full and you end up eating more without feeling satisfied.

Soybeans are really only often used in feed for pigs because they’re a great source of protein for these animals. I would state that soy is also a terrible option to use as an emergency food for humans in need because while, yes, it is indeed a healthy bean, it’s also one of the top eight foods that humans are frequently allergic or intolerant towards. I’d also ask you for whether your 5% of all grown soy statistic is referring to the beans or the entire plant because yeah the beans are the edible part. The rest of the plant isn't especially healthy for humans to eat. I would say the beans are around 5% of a mature soy plant sure.

oh god i am so--uncertain

i want to be delighted for the promo, the ostensible commitment. because. i mean--for one min setting aside the very real other issues going on--it's the goddamn TVL. and i know SR, the cast, the crew--THEY will give 5000%

but historically. historically this is the shit-the-bed network in terms of promo. s2's two-pixel laptop press interviews. the dire lack of s2 promotion on the scale it deserved. and our excuse was Small Network. so...aha. is the third time the charm, or do i manage my expectations. is this over-promising. bc i am nervous how polished they can make this

hold me

The trickster

Source: Wiki.

So my theory and predictions have always been along these lines:

But I have always thought Shapiro's trick is not just a poaching trick, as I explained in the meta above.

IMO it's also a trick rooted in professional jealousy and pettiness.

Walk with me here:

We were talking FF earlier with @only-one-brain-cell, and the trickster came up. Her angle was: "What if Shapiro was never going to talk to Carmy? What if he just said that to put Sydney’s mind at ease?"

Which makes total sense, right?

BUT

My point is:

What if it's worse than that, I mean on top of that the tricker was BLUFFING because he's a trickster!

I mean... What if he was never gonna hire her to begin with and he just wanted her to quit The Bear but there was no such partnership stake?

What if he just wanted to poach her but there was no such agreement?

He never sent her a contract for her to go over, which is a formality and common procedure in any business negotiations, especially if the offer is really juicy.

No hard copy.

Carmy drew the agreement and emailed it because his is actually a real and legit offer.

Maybe Shapiro just wanted Carmy to lose his most valuable asset.

And then ditch Syd, and hire someone else, maybe someone more experienced than a young chef who had been a CDC for only a month by then and had plenty of experience as a Soux Chef but no international experience and a failed catering business under her belt, regardless of how talented he knew she was, because he had already been to The Bear incognito, of course.

Perhaps Shapiro, strategically speaking, just wanted to make sure he was going to compete with the Sydless version of The Bear.

Stealing young talent is common in the biz but that stealing, which is what we all know as poaching, may not be always followed by a better and more solid offer, sometimes it's just about making sure the other restaurant loses its edge, not about hiring new talent, not necessarily.

Maybe Shapiro just wanted it to be Carmy vs him, EC vs EC.

Maybe he thought he could take him that way and beat it at his own game for once.

A Sydless Carmy may have looked less unbeatable in his eyes.

Why wait for her to talk to Carmy to make a formal offer? Wouldn’t it be more convincing/tempting to show up with the paperwork and the $ right up front? And only let her cash the first check in once she quits The Bear?

BECAUSE HE WAS FUCKING BLUFFING AND TRYING TO USE SYD TO GET TO CARMY BY POACHING HIS EDGE, HIS NEW SECRET WEAPON, THE PROMISING YOUNG TALENT THAT HAD EVERYTHING TO PROVE, CIA TRAINING, TALENT, AND NEW AND GREAT IDEAS, SOMEONE WHO HADN'T YET BEEN FULLY JADED BY THE INDUSTRY AND COULD ONLY GET BETTER.

Forget it! It was a trick!

He said it. He literally said: “Here’s the trick”

And then offered the deal.

No paperwork though, just his words.

He’s a trickster!

I’ve been saying this since June 27, the guy is full of shit and professionally jealous of Carmy since they were staging together before he was sent to Copenhagen.

Unlike Luca who saw Carmy as an inspiration knowing he could never beat him, Shapiro saw him as competition and hated him because he couldn't beat him, Carmy went on to become the most excellent CDC... you know the drill...

Now, Carmy, Carmy never even saw Shapiro at all.

🤪🤪🤪

Too busy being the most excellent CDC and putting his ❤️ on a plate for Syd to even think about Shapiro at all.

Which is what kills Shapiro and that's why he wants to take him down.

Because Carmy never even saw him as real competition so that'll show him!

Carmy saw Luca as competition.

Not shapiro

And he smoked Luca.

But Luca doesn’t resent him for that.

Shapiro, on the other hand, is petty.

And Shapiro would have never achieved what he did so far if it wouldn’t have been for Chef Terry. She was the soul of ever. Not him, and he knows it, that's why he wants to start clean and doesn't wanna inherit anything from her.

He wants to open his own place like this because he has A LOT TO PROVE TO HIMSELF.

Unlike Carmy, who made it anywhere in his own merit, even under his iron fist:

That's yet another difference between Shapiro and Carmy and the trickster is aware of this and it kills him.

But my point is not that Carmy is better than the Trickster but that the reason why the Trickster wants to poach Syd OR MAKE HER THINK SO TO GET HER AWAY FROM CARMY AND BREAK THE WINNING UNBEATABLE TEAM, is exactly that, Shapiro is Shapiring and thus he's not to be trusted, that offer may not even exist, it's only a decoy for Syd to bite and leave Carmy high and dry so it's easier for him to take him down.

He must have seen them working together when he went to SPY with a bunch of friends and sent the reviewers in to try to fuck Carmy and picked up on this:

Because he's a trickster but not stupid.

He doesn't want Syd and he certainly doesn't want to give her "whatever she wants". GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!

He wants to ruin Carmy.

I said it before and I'll say it again:

FUCK SHAPIRO!

Imagine, if you will, Prune Juice wanting to be the one to buy others things instead of things being bought for him. Something about debt. Something about feeling in control. And yet, something about affection.

I hope my friends enjoy their one-dollar Undertale.
