    • What restaurant(a) did he run?monospaced
    • No offense intended not disrespect, because I loved the guy, but he worked at Les Halles for a few years but never ran a single restaurant in his entire career.monospaced
    • He shouldn't have killed himself either way.palimpsest
    • What does that even mean "he shouldn't..." ?mort_
    • He should have not.palimpsest
    • He did. So what does that mean?mort_
    • "I am sad that he killed himself" or "the world is worse off because he killed himself" - is that what you're trying to say?mort_
    • Or that he had a choice and he chose wrongly?mort_
    • Didn't say founded, but he was head chef at a few spots before Les Halles. Head chef is head chef.garbage
    • And everyone has the right to kill themselves if they want to. I didn't want to be 30, and I'll be damned if I turn 50. Unless I change my mind.garbage
    • Yes, he made the wrong choice. He did what he loved AND still committed suicide. The right choice was to not kill himself. Read third note.palimpsest
    • The only qualm I have about Bourdain's exit is that he had a daughter. He probably had his reasons, but he'll never be able to explain them.garbage
    • I think he probably didn't feel like he had a choice. Leaving a daughter behind makes that all the more heartbreaking.mort_
    • He had a shit ton of demons. NPD, severe depression, addiction, etc. I think it's a little grey to say he made "the wrong choice".garbage
    • I'm bipolar, and have wanted to kill myself since I was in middle school. I haven't, because I have work to do.garbage
    • It might have been selfish, but calling his choice wrong is a bit weird. We in America are all in a riot about bodily autonomy right now.garbage
    • So what about the autonomy of the soul? He probably couldn't stand being alive anymore, regardless of his success. Or he just had a bad day.garbage
    • Pray the depression away.palimpsest

    • There's not much to say, really. If you're still here then you're doing something right.babydick_

    King Charle’s List Of Bed Time Demands!

    1) His pajamas are pressed every morning

    2) His shoelaces are pressed flat with an iron

    3) The bath plug has to be in a certain position, and the water temperature has to be just tepid in a bath tub filled only half full

    4) His valets must squeeze one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning

    5) His bread must be homemade

    6) His fruit must be hand picked with a bowl of fresh fruit and fresh fruit juices

    7) Six different types of honey, some special discounts, dried fruits and everything special

    8) Along with his breakfast box, King Charles would send a truck to load and unload his personal possessions to the places he was staying

    9) The bed, the furniture and even pictures of him must go along with at all times

    10) Wherever the prince goes in the world, the breakfast box goes with him. He has six different types of honey, some special mueslis, his dried fruit and anything that’s a bit special that he is a bit fussy about.

    11) His cheese and biscuits be warmed at a certain temperature at the end of meals and makes his staff keep a warming tray nearby

    12) His own toilet seat and Kleenex Velvet toilet paper wherever he goes

    Long Live the King!

    was hoping someone else would post this for a few days as it's just fucking depressing...

    just doing your job, for years, you've put in the work and are now running a local branch, your employer installs a new computer system that shows a shortfall on your accounts, you are suspended from your job, employer takes you to court for theft, court asks you to prove you didn't steal money because the computer system says you did.

    your employer is the post office, which successive Labor and Conservitive govt's are privatising and marketing to the public as 'modernisation'. an act passes through parliament and your employer is now a private company called Consignia and the government sets up a postal regulator, Postcomm, to offer licences to private companies to deliver mail. The IT supplier (Fujitsu) continue to claim that the system can not be wrong. The courts put the burden of proof on you to prove that you did not steal, but you have no access to the new or old IT system... you get prosecuted, loose the only job you've ever known and sent to prison.

    "Dozens of postmasters accused of theft by Post Office due to faulty IT system have convictions overturned."
