That’s awesome to hear, but I’m sure it’ll be unaffordable for many—if not most—people who need it… at least in the US. :(

I’d argue that it’s dumb as fuck either way.

Honestly, I’d respond positively. Small talk is exhausting

I love Aldi, but why does every location in my city seem to have such a lackluster selection of frozen veggies in comparison to other grocery stores??? It’s been this way for years.

I just want to have the option to buy the big bags of broccoli/stir fry veggies/ect. that have enough for more than one meal, not the little steamable ones that seem to be more expensive and probably waste more plastic.

TIL that merely mentioning the struggles and limitations that disabled people face—as a disabled person—within a seemingly cordial discussion about peoples’ access and ability to cook healthy meals means I’m literally ATTACKING the point of the person I’m replying to.

The fact that I had several points (in a single comment, mind you) does not mean that they keep changing. I suggest you revisit what moving goalposts actually means.

It’s been my experience that it takes less time and money to make a healthy meal at home. I don’t know why that’s a problem to you.

That’s been my experience, too. Like I’ve already said, I frequently cook cheap, healthy meals at home. I rarely eat fast food.

But my original points aren’t centered around my—or your—personal experience; we’re not the only two people who exist. Everyone has varying degrees of resources and ability.

Gee, straw man, you somehow wrote an entire paragraph while ignoring literally all of my points 👍

Unlimited carrying capacity

It takes much more effort to make a healthy well-rounded meal than just scrambling up “a few eggs”. I’m happy you have enough time, energy, and physical ability to spend an hour making dinner, but a lot of people don’t.

Some have multiple jobs, kids, disabilities, ect. Others live in food deserts where it’s impossible—or at least very difficult—to find cheap, healthy food. Not to mention the people who were never taught how to cook, and would have to spend even more time, energy, (and very possibly wasted food) on learning how.

This is coming from someone who can and does cook cheap, healthy meals all of the time.

They were also dunked on for being “emo”

…why? The term AAVE has been widely used for a while, including by Black Americans.

Does anyone know if the list of games that are considered "sharable " has changed in any way? I didn’t even know that some games can’t be shared.

And Rust???

On Thanksgiving, my aunt boils broccoli and potatoes and serves them totally unseasoned. Not even salt. 😢

It’s one of many reasons why I haven’t gone in years.

When you could just as easily eat NOTHING and have roughly the same nutritional value

I’m no nutritionist, but that seems incorrect based on my cursory Google search. lol

I actually like canned green beans slightly more than fresh or frozen. It has something to do with the texture, but idk what exactly. Though imo most veggies are definitely better fresh, for some reason I really enjoy canned peas too (I know I’m a weirdo).

at this point it’s part of the tapestry of my childhood.

Mine too. I haven’t read them in a long time because of obvious reasons, but a part of me still wants to. I was truly obsessed with them for several years as a kid.

There’s a big difference between choosing to not get vaccinated and being coerced into it.

Defending her is not defending the unvaccinated; it’s acknowledging that she was a victim of abuse and that abuse has extreme psychological effects that you clearly don’t truly understand.

I wouldn’t be able to stomach being the villain, so I just watched someone else do it on YouTube. lol

Unfortunately, yes. My relationship with food in particular has always been kind of messy since I was a kid, especially when I’m going through an especially difficult time mental health-wise. But I try to be mindful of that, and eat healthily for the most part.

If I feel like I’ve overeaten that day/the past few days, I can definitely feel pretty guilty. But IMO, most things are fine in moderation. Food is a crucial and wonderful part of life, and I’m uninterested in completely cutting out something I genuinely enjoy.
