Iodized salt is proletarian salt. i.e. it's what your diet probably needs unless you're consuming a lot of seafood (or seaweed) on a regular basis.

Morton salt can be really nice as a finishing salt for dishes where the texture and additional flavour pop is a feature, e.g. on something like salted cookies or a salad where you sprinkle salt on the top. (This can also apply to things like smoked salt but unless you are aficionado or you've got a dish where you want a smokey flavour to be isolated from the rest of the dish to provide feature and heterogeneity in flavours, it's not really worth it and you're likely to be better off using just using smoked paprika or liquid smoke instead.)

Most other forms of salt are really just hype and marketing tbh except in the cases where you specifically require a size and shape of salt crystals for particular niche applications. The trace amount of minerals that you'll get from "impure" salts are unlikely to contribute much to your nutritional needs unless you're using copious amounts of salt.

I don't begrudge people who really dig their fancy salts at all however, don't get me wrong. If it brings you joy then go hog wild on that stuff. But if you're a pragmatic cook or you're on a budget then there's no reason why regular table salt (especially iodized salt) is perfectly fine to use.

"Honestly, my stance on this isn't gonna change. If people felt like we weren't taking care of them, yeah, I would feel like we failed. If you wanna interpret that as a bad thing, you can, but you're reaching pretty hard."

Yeah, I'd say it's about time for LTT staff to unionise.

I think that "taking care of people" smacks of the same rhetoric as "we're like a family" and "I like to think that all staff are considered equals here" and just about any other lie I've heard from exploitative upper management types.

Just move to a different instance which isn't so banhappy. There's plenty of instances which aren't so heavy-handed with what they ban.

I never trusted Raddle back when I was an anarchist and why would you with a dev who acts like this?

Monopoly is the menace of free enterprise!!

Yikes! If this kid's an anarchist then he's the wrong type of anarchist...

This is even funnier if you assume that those messages were sent at 3am

The worker's councils were recreating the basis of capitalism and interfering with regional and national interests in favour of their own petit-bourgeois aspirations. They wanted to become a labour aristocracy and they threatened the economic foundations of proletarian democracy with their narrow, self-interested trade union consciousness. Yugoslavia's model is a perfect example of what would have happened if this was allowed to proliferate and to threaten the revolution.

If the Mensheviks didn't want to get outlawed then maybe they shouldn't have aligned themselves with the interests of the aristocracy and the Kadets over the proletariat 🤷‍♂️

Imagine being salty that the October Revolution overthrew the bourgeois Provisional Government. The soviets had established themselves as the legitimate organ of proletarian power and they seized political power because the Mensheviks and the Constitutional Democrats did not represent them.

Lol, I'll bite. How do you think that Lenin strangled the revolution in the cradle?

Do you mean libertarians, or "libertarians" as per Murray Rothbard's quote:

"One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, ‘our side,’ had captured a crucial word from the enemy . . . ‘Libertarians’ . . . had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over..."

Nah, I didn't do that. I just pointed out that they are either a supporter of capitalism (or reactionary politics) or they support revolutionary/evolutionary socialism, all of which are inherently authoritarian in their own ways.

The material conditions that give rise to authoritarianism is a different question altogether. I was specific in my choice of words for a reason.
