If you can stop eating candy and soft drinks that is probably the first I’d suggest. Zero nutritional value outside the sugar and a non zero cost.

Also true for any highly processed convenience food. Frozen dinners/entreés, all sorts of stuff that is calorie dense, almost zero nutritional value.

It’s just me in my household, so would buying in bulk be worth it?

If you have a freezer and pantry space, yes.

or we’ll be completely enclosed by the panopticon and the Jakarta method will come home.

Heaven forbid!

If revolution happens right now, it’s going to be oops! All reactionaries.

This is largely how I feel, but I’m not a perfectionist, by any means. I used to be; my mental health vastly improved once I realized that people I can’t control are inevitably going to make life worse for everyone, until the larger public develops the will to make the necessary sacrifices to rein it in, and it’s looking less and less likely to happen during my lifetime; and that my personal best may be better or worse yesterday and tomorrow than it is today, due to a plethora of variables, some within my control, most outside of my control. I just try to be my best today, and let any competition be mostly with myself.

And I will continue to upvote it.

There’s a difference between IQ and EQ.

Pecan pie is delicious, with honey instead of corn syrup. I like sweet potato pie, too. But my favorite is peach cobbler. It used to be apple, which is probably my second favorite.

Probably. But it seems it exploded after that stupid show.

I quite properly literally just wish we didn’t have a population that followed illiterate Kardashian misuse of the word.

Laugh as you walk away.

I still wear my first pair, 10+ years, bought at a yard sale. The heels are worn slam off. They are fantastic for walking on hard surfaces, especially getting 10k+ steps. And not all Crocs have literal holes. They are affordable work wear. A pair I recently bought for work were less than 35 USD, brand new, shipping included. I look forward to another decade. And as for the holes, in the Deep Southern swampy areas, they’re really nice (unless you happen across a gator or venomous snake, I guess).

What a chonker!

Please let this be true. 🙏

The way it was worded contributed to that.

Internal vs external locus of control.

Was going to say Spectrum B/C disorders, C/PTSD, which comes from trauma, toxic environments, and sometimes some different brain workings. The most tragic part is, these conditions are extremely treatable, a couple are reversible, with good, ongoing talk therapy and shadow work, which is so very inaccessible to those who want them and often easily accessible to those who don’t.
