I do feel for the 19 year old who was rightfully terrified of the thing but went on because his dad wanted to bond

Yeah, it really looks like a case of “the first layer of administrative safety control failed, and another layer kicked in to prevent a dangerous scenario.”

When people are talked down to, they often dig in their heels due to an emotion called psychological reactance. The reactionary ape that still exists in every human feels challenged and that ape will not allow reason to stop it.

If you see such a reaction and allow yourself to believe “well that person was just an immature child”, you risk giving yourself license to keep talking down to people. Repeat ad nauseum.

It doesn’t matter that you’re objectively correct about the effect meat has on the biosphere if you just keep going around that circle, creating 0 new vegans every lap

Oh you can bet madden is gonna be littered with sports betting app ads

I feel where you’re coming from, and on the other side of that I think labels can do a lot of good.

I’d guess the garlic was deeply roasted until brown and sweet for the ice cream?

I don’t even care enough to pirate shows any more. I’m just content with missing out

Pizza is a very fatty, often greasy food, and acidic taste balances out greasiness in the mouth

Another great lazy meal is hummus. process together a drained + rinsed can of chickpeas, a couple tablespoons of tahini, the juice of half a lemon, salt + spices, and however much water it takes to get the texture you like. Smear it on a plate, maybe add a puddle of olive oil with some herbs sprinkled over, and wipe it up with pita.

A real cheat code here is when you truly can’t find it in you to cook, have some easy heat and eat meal or something and then plan + prepare tomorrow’s dinner.

Microwave burrito + take chicken out of the freezer for tomorrow
