Make a shopping list and be strict with yourself about what you add to it. Then restrict yourself from buying anything not on the list so that you stick to it. Best way (that I know) to be deliberate about what food comes home with you.
Tangential: If the toilet paper shortage during the pan wasn’t enough to wake Americans up to the need for bidets, nothing will. We’re savages over here.
When I was nineteen, a friend was driving us home on LSD (please don’t do this). He said that was like a game. The third person in the vehicle said that didn’t make him any more confident. We got home safe, somehow. Lucas, if you’re reading this, good job. Also, fuck you for driving while we were on drugs.

I grew up during the time when sex scenes on HBO and Cinemax were the closest thing to porn on tv. I can’t think of a worse sex scene than The Specialist, with Sly Stallone.

You can include sex without dramatizing / showcasing it. I don’t blame young people for finding these old tropes to be a digression. See my other comment about sex in The Sopranos to confirm that I’m not anti-sex in media.
I have noticed that I interact a lot more in Lemmy than I ever did in any social media. Let it be Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter… I am used to be the lurker, but here for some reason things are different. Wonder if more people feel like I do.
