No idea. My uncle Joe has dwarfism and he makes a mean bowl of Count Chocula.

Ooh, I didn’t see zombies as a possible outcome

Who the hell is washing pillowcases and t-shirts in the same load of laundry

Holy shit

They sure are.

This is not the first time you’ve posted about Ashlyn. She’s a 14 year old so there’s a high likelihood that she’s genuinely intolerable. But aren’t you in your twenties? Maybe don’t fixate on her so much. Lena needs to figure this out for herself.

Is this your ex Sam, who you posted about only one week ago, asking whether it would be a mistake to get back together? And the general consensus was to stay away because he’s clearly not into you?

Yeah he keeps it in his frunk.

Ouais is more like ‘yeah’, not ‘yes’.

Didn’t you already post about this?

I go grocery shopping once a week, and I’m buying just for two adults. Most things I get at Aldi, and some things at Giant if I don’t like the Aldi version, or Aldi doesn’t sell it. I do make a list ahead of time, but I buy mostly the same things every week.

A typical aldi trip includes bananas, berries (rasp or blue usually), avocados, some kind of fresh green veg for dinner (typically spinach, asparagus, or green beans), bread, jaffa cakes, coffee, low-fat cheese, laundry detergent & fabric softener, windex, dishwasher pods, toilet paper, canned fire-roasted tomatoes (soooo many easy recipes with these!), sparkling water, eggs, egg whites, almond milk, yogurt, and pierogies. Then I typically get my meat at Giant (most of Aldi’s meat is pretty gnarly), plus things like toothpaste, evaporated milk, sugar packets, paper towels, canned lentils (my Aldi doesn’t carry these???), and a little bouquet of flowers. And then some random things I buy on Amazon, like my tea (yorkshire gold), farro, protein powder, low-fodmap ingredients, etc.

I spend about $150 a week unless I’m out of something expensive like paper towels.

Girl. Have some dignity and kick him to the curb because it’s clear he’s not really interested in you. He probably wants you on standby in case his dick or his ego need stroking. Don’t make excuses for someone who’s mistreating you, especially at such a young age - you’re just inviting dysfunction. You can and will do better, but not if he’s in the way. Good luck.

Oh jesus fucking christ I have hoodies older than this kid.

I’m empathetic, and I don’t believe in the concept of sin.

I think it’s about harm reduction. In your example, a single mother who deprioritizes health in favor of work is probably trading long-term harm reduction (aging healthily) for short-term harm reduction (putting food on the table and a roof over her kids’ heads). But she’s also causing both short- and long-term harm by teaching her kids by example not to take care of their health. Part of her responsibility is teaching her kids to take good care of themselves. It’s much easier to grow up with a mindset of health than to develop one in adulthood!

Of course we can’t look down on people with depression, but we can at least acknowledge that if they’re not looking after their mental or physical health, they’re falling down on the job and probably making things worse for themselves. I get it. I went through some awful shit in my early twenties, and was deeply depressed and skyrocketed from 105 lbs to 177 in a pretty short time. I was obese and in poor physical health, and this was worsening my depression. I had a moral responsibility to fix myself, and it took years, but I did.

I am a million percent in favor of suicide, assisted or not, because nobody who desperately wants to die should be forced to live.

Health is temporary and usually accidental at best.

Respectfully, I think this is a sad, defeatist mindset. Sure, you can still wind up unhealthy even if you do all the healthy behaviors (e.g., breast cancer), but there are still obvious benefits to healthy behaviors. If health is truly temporary, then I’d like to do everything I can to prolong my “temporary” good health. And honestly the idea that health is “usually accidental at best” flies in the face of loads of medical research. Our lifestyles and our choices do impact our health. We can help lower our cholesterol by reducing saturated fat intake. We can help prevent Type II diabetes by limiting our sugar intake. We can stave off joint deterioration by maintaining a healthy weight. We can protect our mobility as we age through stretching and exercise. There are definitely things that are out of our control (e.g., chronic illness or severe disease like cancer), but there’s also a whole lot that we can control, and I think we all have an obligation to try.

There’s no moral imperative to exercise or be healthy generally

I respectfully disagree. I think we all have a moral imperative to try for health. Understanding that some factors can be out of our hands, we ahould still work with what we’ve got to be the healthiest version of ourselves possible. I think good nutrition, regular exercise, annual bloodwork, etc are basic parts of being a responsible adult.

Yeah, styrofoam’s notoriously bad for the environment. Plus just annoying to deal with. I hate it.

Oh no, here come the jitposts again.
