Just sprinkle cheese on the grill and drop you sandwich on top. I do this at home all of the time. I use bags of shredded quesadilla cheese from Costco.

Having been to Wong Kei in London’s Chinatown and seeing how many patrons love getting insulted, this will make millions.

I can hear the vendor shouting:
NO GRILL CHEESE FOR YOU!

As a sociology major, who studied abnormal psychology and art, I’m 90% sure these tools are produced by the social fact that making a living at art is nearly impossible, and thus a lot of misanthropes with vision are forced to teach and hate it, and are very much “misery loves company” types…

Most of my studio professors seemed pretty happy where they were, but there were definitely a couple malcontents like that. One of the main illustration professors was perpetually simmering with low-level rage at the fact that he wasn’t born at a time when he could have had a career during the golden age of magazine illustration. He was also the one who directly asked me during a portfolio review, “What do you have to offer that can’t be outsourced to Korea?” which is another infuriating example of “things I’m still mad a decade later that someone said to me, but dang it, they were right.”

At my first internship at a design studio – I was 19 and had no idea what I was doing – there were several employees who seemed to be filled with anger at the entire concept of Graphic Design. One guy pulled me into his office to tell me how he had invented the Energizer Bunny and that they’d stolen his brilliant idea; another told me in hushed tones that all designers hate themselves, and another told me how he would regularly sabotage his own work in hopes of getting fired. They all told me again and again to change majors, switch careers — “You’re young, it’s not too late! Learn how to program computers, that’s where the money is!”. I think I partially stuck with it just to spite those bitter old farts.

As recently as just a couple years ago, I had in-house designer colleagues telling me that they wished they had bothered to learn some web design and coding skills because print-only opportunities have become very thin on the ground. A couple were looking at possibly having to start over mid-career. I could only shrug helplessly, because while I made that transition successfully because of side coding skills I already possessed (I was working with them in a staff web designer role), I also knew that literally the only web design-related skills we were taught at the college level was how to make a personal portfolio site. In Flash. (In 2009.) Everything actually useful I had just coincidentally picked up over the years and I had no idea how someone without that experience should start.
Now I work with a bunch of developers, and they don’t have those problems. Which is part of why I’m trying to transition further into front-end dev, myself.

I’m totally with you. the other thing is…why do we have all these people coming out w/ angry attitudes about the choices of others. If some people want a fancy-fied grilled cheese…and that is then an option in the word (even though personally I think they can get overdone sometimes)…its a good thing and adds to the value of the world. what’s w/ all these “angry men” coming out angry and younger people about avocado toast, (in this case) grilled cheese, expensive coffee…etc etc. live and let live man.
Will do! And you sir will be entitled to free sandwiches for life!

I was an undergrad philosophy major, but if my introduction had been the same as yours I would have reacted in the same way. I made the gradual slide from physics through the philosophy and history of science to broader philosophy. It snuck up on me, and with the support of some great teachers had me in its clutches.

Oddly enough, I picked the username for a different site ages ago when it prompted me to sign up to post a comment. I forget what the site was, which is not surprising because it was such a piddly little thing that my first thought was, “why should I bother?” (Back then, that was the online equivalent of a checkout clerk at a Scotch Boutique* asking “would you like to join our rewards club?” before she takes your money)
Since then, I’ve used it a few places. (And, given that it’s sometimes taken, I have to assume others have had that exact same moment of low-grade contempt.) But it works. Any other social commentary is entirely accidental.
*And yes, Scotch Boutique is still my go-to reference for any impossibly-narrow business.
