Heavenly and a pain in the ass to make. If I had a home deep fryer though I’d be fat on falafel.

Boooooooooobs

It’s also that in America food defaults to ultra processed and often hyper palatable. Fiber is perfectly tasty in an apple or berries, but it’s often unpleasant in ultra processed foods and it’s bulk that doesn’t add to flavor, which reduces the palatability.

I do think though that the obsession with protein and fear of plant fat is currently making the problem worse. Had people been focused on beans as a protein source we’d likely be getting increased fiber, but people think protein == animal products and some are even encouraging complete elimination of plant and fungus from one’s diet. I’ve even seen one of those people on lemmy claim that fiber is bad for you.

When giving information that goes against the regime’s narrative they can be treated as somewhat trustworthy. RFK Jr is way more into the high meat diet, and animal products don’t provide dietary fiber.

Whole grains, fruits (I shouldn’t have to say it, but not the juice, and if you do drink juice have pulp), beans and lentils, and leafy greens. These are all things Americans don’t eat enough of for some reason.

Bean tacos are amazing. Black bean burgers are one of the few vegetarian alternatives that havr gained popularity among meat eaters, and for good reason. Have a spinach salad or snack on kale chips. It’s hard to find something more nutritious than lentils though they’re hard to cook in a particularly appetizing way. Cabbage and other brassicae can be a challenge but when cooked well is amazing. Whole grain bread takes some getting used to but is excellent once you do.

And if all else fails, pscilium husk fiber supplements.

The problem with fiber in the American diet is that it’s satiating and noticeable in ultra processed foods. It’s most appetizing in it’s natural sources, and the American diet really isn’t conducive to cooking with whole plant products.

You need to find social hobbies. I’m an extrovert, but my wife is an introvert. She still got herself together and went out to engage socially and that’s how we met. It’ll take time and effort, but if you show genuine interest in people and spend time with them you’re likely to eventually find someone

Nobody’s kicked me off yet, you’ll be fine

I guess I do. I’m mostly in favor but not like super firm about it. Except in the context of as automation reduces the amount of work needed I believe it’s one of only a few options without which society is at serious risk. The other main option is to drastically reduce working hours without changing pay to increase number of jobs. I actually prefer the latter.

CW: you will probably cry and be furious and haunted for this boy’s sake

One that I don’t expect to see here is biz barclay. If a 3 hour video of a woman with ADHD getting drunk and doing literary analysis sounds even remotely enjoyable you’ll love her content. A good starter video is her video on attempts to subvert the manic pixie dream girl trope, and why she doesn’t believe it’s possible to succeed at.

Yeah Folding Ideas is one of the few youtubers I often make a point to watch with my wife as an event. As is Hbomberguy

Similarly, I know controversy follows her everywhere, but contrapoints maintains very good content, and while some of her videos have their issues they tend towards high quality and extremely well thought out, even when I don’t entirely agree with all of the takes she has in them.

Your comment reminded me of a road in a suburb in Ohio I once heard about called Sharts Road. For context, in American slang to shart is to fail to merely flatulate. Every once in a while I look up if that town ever noticed and changed it. And well…

Every once in a while say in a mocking voice “we demand to be taken seriously, seriously guys stop doing art, we don’t like it”

The second sounds like it has far more room for stupid bullshit, so that one

Wait I thought there were no boys on the internet

I think you’re the only one beyond the rss and repost bots

Whelp that’s a casus belli…

Exactly, I wholeheartedly advise everyone to just pick up an ohio white pages and spam their government to change the name of their capital to flavortown in honor of central Ohio’s most cherished son.

You don’t, you say thay you left because you felt that the company culture was too unprofessional for you
