Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

@kiya wasn't really going to give away anything. He just made it all up to save this thread from the poor quality it has turned into.

@sinnedk doesn't eat quesadillas. He only eats enchiladas because they're heavier, so higher quality.

Wouldn’t an all meat super burrito be the highest quality then?

Made with horse, yes.

Delicious delicious horse meat ?

 

[DeadBoy]

Take: If you wear horse, you should be willing to eat horse.

Horse meat is quite tasty

One of my favourite restaurants in Toronto does a combo dish of horse steak and duck confit, dubbed the Quack and Track.

Hence why I'm on the hunt for a duck down padded leather jacket for this winter.

In a nutshell...

@dieworkwear provided a lesson in something (it was either bean or horsehide related...have to double check)

@sinnedk disagreed

@kiya told a tall tale about the history of the burrito

@FrankCowperwood ate one his horse or goat jackets...wouldn't specify for fear of retaliation from the goat and horse communities

@UrbanComposition was awarded the "golden chisel" in honor of his work with actual chisels, not his chiseled features

Anybody else here watch Taco Chronicles on Netflix? It's surprisingly very well done. And not a black bean in sight.

 

[double00]

never even heard of a taco with beans

 

[nicelynice]

Guys black beans not belonging on a burrito is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard, as long as I can remember every burrito joint in SF has offered black beans. Just cuz one guy says something doesn’t mean it’s gospel.

So pretty much, point proven?

How do y'all live in the post-apocolyptic yuppie hole of SF? I haven't been there since I was a kid. Is there anything redeeming about the city anymore?

I still love it here, but the sequential waves of gentrification have made it ... less enjoyable. I recently joined Next Door and almost became a raging class warfare Marxist. It's the same fights over and over again in every Bay Area neighborhood: yuppie NIMBY-ists jealously protect their own neighborhoods from multi-family housing and high rise developments because they don't want to see their precious skyline ruined. Meanwhile, they'll complain about the rising level of homelessness (love to see people get mad at housing developments, but also hate people who don't have homes). Yuppies will move next to a decades-old bar and complain about the noise at night. Or move next to a taqueria and complain about the smell. Or a lower-income neighboorhood and complain about the number of homeless people. Over time, more of these things are replaced by wine and cheese shops.

I still love the crunchy Bay Area character. If you walk around the Mission, it's still great to see the remains of a somewhat diverse community (basically hipsters and working-class immigrants). I love the independent bookstores and music stores. There are lots of great public events from spring to fall, such as jazz and movie festivals. I also really like being close to strong, academic communities where people are doing thought-provoking work.

But a lot of that character is getting choked out because people who don't work in tech -- and it's a very small slice of tech -- can't afford to live here. Landlords are constantly kicking people out. And the people who move in are just ... annoying. I'll admit I live in a fully gentrified neighborhood -- it used to be a working-class Black neighborhood but it's now it's very yuppie. My street is lined with yard signs that say "WE BELIEVE BLACK LIVES MATTER AND WE WELCOME IMMIGRANTS." But in practice, since people rarely act against their own economic interest -- and these are about material issues -- actual black and immigrant communities don't get to live here at all. Fifteen years ago, when I first moved here, I think the Black population was 12%. Today it's about 3% and half of that population is homeless.
