Some folks might see sharing clips like this as a bit against the theme of the channel. "Mr. Daily Poor, I thought you were in favor of moderation. Surely, this individual is displaying the virtue of moderation by living in such a cramped abode. Is this not hypocritical? Are you not mocking their virtue?"

Ah, dear reader, you raise an interesting concern. If I were mocking a virtue, this would indeed be a grave error. But such a display is merely an appearance of virtue. They have mastered one pleasure, that of a large and luxurious home, but only because they are enslaved to the pleasures they obtain from city living.

See Socrates' discussion with Simmias in Plato's Phaedo for a short overview of this theme:

And, Simmias, does not what is called courage belong especially to men of this disposition?

Most certainly.

And the quality of moderation which even the majority call by that name, that is, not to get swept off one’s feet by one’s passions, but to treat them with disdain and orderliness, is this not suited only to those who most of all despise the body and live the life of philosophy?

Necessarily so, he said.

If you are willing to reflect on the courage and moderation of other people, you will find them strange.

In what way, Socrates?

You know that they all consider death a great evil?

Definitely, he said.

And the brave among them face death, when they do, for fear of greater evils?

That is so.

Therefore, it is fear and terror that make all men brave, except the philosophers. Yet it is illogical to be brave through fear and cowardice.

It certainly is.

What of the moderate among them? Is their experience not similar? Is it licentiousness of a kind that makes them moderate? We say this is impossible, yet their experience of this simple-minded moderation turns out to be similar: they fear to be deprived of other pleasures which they desire, so they keep away from some pleasures because they are overcome by others. Now to be mastered by pleasure is what they call licentiousness, but what happens to them is that they master certain pleasures because they are mastered by others. This is like what we mentioned just now, that in some way it is a kind of licentiousness that has made them moderate.

That seems likely.

My good Simmias, I fear this is not the right exchange to attain virtue, to exchange pleasures for pleasures, pains for pains and fears for fears, the greater for the less like coins, but that the only valid currency for which all these things should be exchanged is wisdom. With this we have real courage and moderation and justice and, in a word, true virtue, with wisdom, whether pleasures and fears and all such things be present or absent. When these are exchanged for one another in separation from wisdom, such virtue is only an illusory appearance of virtue; it is in fact fit for slaves, without soundness or truth, whereas, in truth, moderation and courage and justice are a purging away of all such things, and wisdom itself is a kind of cleansing or purification.

These steaks would kill the average poor-cel

Brined for 12 hours, then coated in pepper X for 24 hour

Cooking was difficult because the air around my pan was spicy

Side note: let me introduce you to the unsung hero of the steak world: the flat iron. I confidently argue that this cut offers the best flavor for your dollar. Despite a modest cost, the flat iron boasts a flavor that rivals the esteemed ribeye and a tenderness second only to the filet mignon. This steak showcases the skill of the butcher, who carefully cuts around a tough connective tissue to unveil a surprisingly tender and flavorful cut. The flat iron has won my heart and secured its place as my all-time favorite steak. Its remarkable combination of taste, texture, and value makes it a true gem in the world of steaks

Is this some kind of joke?

Throwback to when David Leavitt called the police on a Target manager because there was a misprint on the price of a toothbrush.

Broken heart reacts only. 💔

Welp, time to get a shovelin'

Imagine living in a place like this
