I generally don’t want things. I get asked for a wishlist every year. I have to come up with a book list because that’s really the only thing I can think of that is a normal gift

Just sold, sorry. Store bought should be fine tho

I see this new wojack all over the place, where did it come from?

Well, my healthy eating has changed over the years, so these are the various methods I’ve used.

• See food diet: See food? Eat it. I had several growth spurts growing up and was a 3 sport athlete, so I was always hungry. My mom started claiming that I have hollow legs because I ate so much. There was always at least 1 large veggie side, but often several sides of veggies. Things changed in college.

• One plate diet: modified see food diet. In college, all my growth spurts ended and I was no longer in sports, so my freshman 15 was actually my freshman 50. Things had to change, but I wasn’t willing to restrict my food options. So as long as I kept my food limited to a single plate, things were good. Another emphasis on lots of veggies here, with only a single plate I got more veggies. And pizza because it stacks well, but veggies are the important part. As I shifted into the adult world, my diet changed again

• Keto diet: low carb, med protein diet. I wanted to reduce my meat intake and actually eat healthy, so my ex and I did keto for about 2 years. It was actually good, the best recipes were the ones that didn’t try to be meat replacements, they just did their own thing. There are dishes that I still make from this period, simply because it’s good food.

• One meal per day intermittent fasting: when I was hired by Activision, we had a benefit where the company would provide us with $18 for lunch from local restaurants. That allowed me to only eat 1 meal per day, and fast on weekends. It came to disaster when I was fired, so I changed things again

• Homemade Vegetarian-flexible: my current diet. I’ve decided that many things, including meat, is too expensive. Meat in particular is not worth killing our planet over, so I’ve changed things. I make my bread at home. I source as much as possible farmers markets, with plans to start growing hydroponic food crops. I’m removing heavily processed food as well. I’ve cooked enough foods that I can just kinda wing it with the veggies and get something good. I plan to use paneer as a meat replacement in certain dishes (tacos, chilli, hotdish, etc), but still less frequent than when I was eating meat. I try to avoid meat, but I won’t say no to a dish with meat in it

Perhaps we can ask it to play dwarf fortress and dig down to the Super Happy Fun Stuff

Fascists eating their own is my favorite type of schadenfreude

The numbers don’t mean anything because the BLS is just making shit up. Remember way back when the BLS director was fired for not lying about job statistics?

Maybe one day I’ll try that, but I can’t imagine it beating 57 sauce

Steak sauce is not allowed in my house, and hasn’t been since I was young. Desecrating steak like that is sin

The AI pulled the wrong files, so they had to do it again

Hey no fair! I’m 30, I grew up on the Internet and hate what it became

They freed themselves from the mask, and they’re trying to find the real them. It will pass, give it some time. I ended up rewinding my life back to teen interests when I realized that that was the last time I felt truly like myself, and allowed those interests to grow and integrate into my other adult interests. That whole process took about half a year

Glass tip cigarette? Truly off their rocker

I kinda miss ordering a double quarter pounder big mac, but otherwise not worth it for many reasons

I’m hopeful that bad things happen to people in power. It probably won’t happen, but I’m hopeful

2030 will be good too, just not as good. Kinda like going back to eat a recipe you loved as a kid, only to realize that you had it all the time because you were poor

You’d think this would mean wine would get cheaper or something, but actually it means that several thousands of bushels of grapes are going to rot, because capitalism demands profit over common sense

But when asked about something to eat, they reply in voices so sweet…

Got it, folk songs about labor it is

If you have a computer, you can learn to write code. The market for programming is in shambles, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. You can do all sorts of things like make a game, build a personal website, make a custom app, make art, and more
