popemichael, in Why does eating a frozen ready meal alone feel depressing even tho it's objectively good that I can have nice warm food easily

Some of those frozen meals are cheaply made and have ingredients that are not necessarily the best for your body.

Those meals are sometimes REALLY high in nitrates. Those can cause some issues for your gut biome.

Doesn’t for me, so it’s in your head. I actually feel less satisfied if I put the effort in, doesn’t feel like a pleasant gift from the universe, more like a zero sum game.

I only know when you wake up you ask, “what year is it.” If you can manage it.

ohlaph, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

Man, that’s rough, fingers crossed for you yo!!!

Also, “I’ll see you in there.”

In part because the time we devote to something is felt as representative of how important it is - the sink cost fallacy can be visceral.

When you spend the minimum possible time feeding or looking after yourself, it's easy to feel like you're not treating yourself as important .

Because it’s not healthy. Check the nutrition content and it’s probably loaded on sodium for example.

Prepagaged food is generally quite bad for you. Rancid oils, high fructose corn syrup in everything, low fiber, mystery preservatives, and so on. When i lived on that kind of food, i rapidly gained weight to 210 lbs. I look at pictures of myself from back then and it’s horrifying. I look like I’m dying. I started cooking my own food from simple ingredients, and within a year i was down to 140. I’ve kept it off ever since.

Well, for me, it’s because the only meme group I’m even semi active in is explicitly for old memes :)

intensely_human, in People talk about ideas being living things. How can we do better at cultivating and propagating ideas that are helpful / sustainable?
  • Discuss and debate your ideas, and seek membership in community where this is encouraged
  • Work on complex projects to continuously learn about how ideas manifest in reality
  • Take care of your brain
  • Write your ideas down. Write them with different words and approach them from different angles. Explore all the details
  • Have respect for grammar and vocabulary. Utilize words’ specific individual meanings, and expand your vocabulary so that you aren’t misleading listeners and readers by using words that sorta kinda fit what you’re trying to say
  • Practice meditation to stop the intellect from gaining too much prominence in your mind (this is also a function of the work thing from above)
  • Read lots and lots of books, including fiction. Not only do you get ideas, but you also get exposure to complex sentence structure and ways of conveying things
  • Ditto poetry. Ditto news. Ditto rap. Listen till your brain’s exhausted, then take a little nap
  • Eat well and sleep plenty
  • Develop your body’s skill. Shoot arrows, play pool, make love, surf, play the violin, juggle, rock climb, etc. Do things that require skill, not just knowledge or creativity.

Old people, like me 😹

moipe, in Charity Work

Good luck. Ever since I stopped being a teenager every application I have put in for charity work has been declined followed by a request for money.

Maybe different in America, but here in Finland I’ve never been asked to pay myself so I could volunteer. And I’ve been in few different places. And I also haven’t needed to provide any kind of CV to do volunteering (nobody has asked for such information).

Sometimes I’m offered free food, free products, free fun time and even one-time payments (they pay me - which I still find strange since I haven’t gotten used to it!).

What the hell. I feel like actual hardwork should be worth way more than just money.

This isn’t really the community for that kind of question. You’d probably get better replies on NoStupidQuestions. That being said, ive definitely noticed the same thing. No real answer here, but it is a weird quirk with the Lemmy community. Stock photo memes? Seriously? Is this circa 2018 r/youdontsurf??

tallwookie, in Why does eating a frozen ready meal alone feel depressing even tho it's objectively good that I can have nice warm food easily

dunno. I cook 2 or 3 times a week tops, making everything from scratch. the leftover are pretty amazing.

@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

Same, I cook a big pot of whatever for the week so I don’t have to worry about dinner till my next day off. Shredded chicken or pork, ground meat goulash, taco fillings, etc. Easy to make, satisfying to eat.

I assumed it’s because Lemmy has more users over 30. I think most of the younger people are still hoping in vain that Reddit will stop being horrible. I imagine they’ll be here soon enough lol

XbSuper,

If they can handle the app, there’s no reason to come to lemmy. Reddit is better, only reason I’m (and many others) not there, is their shitty app.

MrJameGumb,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

For me it was Huffman basically saying he planned to ruin the site AND force everyone to use the shitty app so that he could sell off Reddit in the IPO to put more money into his own overstuffed pockets. Then he allowed everyone to graffiti a fake wall about how mad they were for one whole week so those who stayed could pretend like they were “fighting the man” and then completely stop talking about it lol

XbSuper,

I wasn’t a fan of that either, but ultimately it doesn’t matter. I used it as a time waster, the politics of the site just aren’t that important to me.
