I have to say, I suspected this. Being honest. I said to myself, "What could run off Stamets," and that's exactly what I came up with. The benefit of being closer to 40 than 30 I guess.

Now to join your community. Thank you genuinely for commenting here for me to see directly. I'm not good at creating content (every time I ever got a burst of creativity on reddit I was banned for posting too much so I just stopped making memes) but I comment like a sumbitch!

As a Southern gal myself, I got whiplash from the implication that people sayin "fixin" are trying to sound important.

I promise, among those of us who say that kinda thing, it's seen as a mark of ignorance and bein low class in general. The idea that a hillbilly accent can seem "important" is banana sandwiches to me.

"...of the human race?"

I tried but no amount of injecting humor made that funny. Came across as more onejoke nonsense to be honest.

As a girl I can confirm that my pee is pink for like 7 out of every 28 days.

MyFitnessPal had a problem with anorexic using the app to compare their disordered eating in competition. From there it went downhill fast.

(Unsweetened) coffee gang represent!

I do a yogurt Smoothie (130 cals) and a cup of black coffee for first breakfast, then a carnation breakfast essentials or a muscle milk protein shake for second breakfast.

It hits my protein goals (super important- I have a very physically demanding job) but it costs more than eating garbage (or pure carbs which I can't afford to do for my health).

I have no idea. It's monstrously large so that might be why.

I was buying them and eating half of one for breakfast but with like no protein and no redeeming qualities beyond "not hungry" and "taste good" I knew it wasn't a real option. But my point here wasn't "this is what I do," my point was, "people are being disingenuous when they pretend it's not a real option many people are taking."

I work 12 hour shifts. I do meal prep of curries or stews and that makes a good, cheap meal, but the storage required to freeze 3 meals worth of meal prep for 4 days of work... plus the time it consumes in making and properly cooling and storing those meals... it's not a luxury many people have. Convenience options are very appealing for many reasons and there's this place where "I have to spend at least a day a week planning for work, preparing and putting away food in order for it to be healthy" yoyos around to, "I don't make enough to buy healthy convenience food." If I had kids I'd never be able to prep like I do. Hell, it's difficult as it is!

 

YSK: Just because something is easy for you, does not mean that it is easy.

ETA; Why you should know; everyone has natural talents, everyone has skills they developed with practice or over time. Something that feels easy to you might be difficult for someone else to grasp, or they might have a different background or a different way of doing things. When you show someone else how to do something, or when you ask someone else to do something, you need to set aside your expectations on how they might do that thing, or how quickly, or how well.

Be patient. Understand not everyone comes naturally to every new skill or new talent. Some people have learning disabilities or just a lack of familiarity with skills you consider "basic." And try not to belittle someone for needing extra time to master something you find "simple" or they may never try again!

Edit2: Kind of like how I can't figure out how to edit this to save my life. I've been belittled in the past for being bad at things so my instinct was to delete this, but seeing all the conversation, I couldn't bring myself to do it! Consider me a lesson in action!
