I already said that there are plenty of understandable reasons why someone would want to eat out instead of cook elsewhere, but the idea that it’s cheaper is just untrue.
Cost of your time? Are you either cooking or working? That’s ridiculous. You can make a weeks worth of baked chicken in an hour, easily.
Look, if you don’t have the time or skill to prepare a meal, I get it, no one is forcing you to cook, but hiding behind the idea that somehow eating out is cheaper is just spreading lies.
Yes, many foods is going to expire if you don’t eat quickly enough.
Managing your food stores is a life skill and it’s one that takes some people more time than others to hone to a point where your food waste is minimal.
That doesn’t make eating at restaurants or getting take out cheaper per meal than cooking at home.
Have you heard of soup? Soup’s great. Don’t sleep on soup.
That’s just more food you can cook into other meals…
Actually I think a Costco rotisserie chicken may actually be cheaper than a raw whole chicken, but that’s a loss leader and it’s still sold in a grocery store, not a restaurant. Also you need a few more things to make a meal, but it comes damn close to beating the rule.
Yeah I’m open to people telling me they don’t have the time, skill or energy to cook their own meals. I understand that. Just don’t try to tell me it’s cheaper to eat out. That ain’t ever true.
I’ve seen people make this decision.
It’s not sound, the math doesn’t work out, not in the US, at least.
Your cost per meal is gonna be cheaper when you buy groceries and cook yourself, every time.
I’m thirty to forty years old, I don’t need this shit.
We did just fine in IRC with no accounts just handles. Recognize me or don’t!

Have you encountered one of these people in real life?
I have never met anyone who espouses any values like this nor have I see any online presence of someone like this, either.
What I mean is, don’t overvalue the people on this online community you’ve found in a way that impacts your life. There aren’t throngs of people out there trying to castrate or kill you for being polyamorous because they want to replicate toxic relationships in anime and manga.
God I wish I had a very strained pun to reply with.
To summit all up, you get a peak at your inner… self?
We can workshop it, there might be something there.
How does the mountain help one be honest with themselves?
Masking is how I get through the Christmas season as it’s a time of year I really struggle mentally.
That said, I think their use of it is more tied to the Japanese concept of “your three faces”. One you show the world, one you show your closest friends and one you only show yourself.

The idea of beach sex is very appealing, I get it.
The practice of beachfront property balcony sex is far more practical and gets most of the same experience. Plus, easier to get tiki drinks in hand shortly after.
I don’t think ibuprofen is safe to take with alcohol either.
Pretty sure the label warns against this here. But lots of water and sleep is a good idea.
Do I have to get shit faced to get braised beef tongue for breakfast or can I just ask nicely? I’m open to either.
Oh honey it happens, it’s not a clear sign of any larger problem, sometimes people just get too drunk.
…if it becomes a pattern, that’s a different story. But he was probably a bit nervous meeting the family and overindulged. If he’s doing it out of boredom, make the boy cook!! Anyone can peel or chop vegetables. I got mine a lil apron and call him my sous chef (don’t tell him he’s the actually the garçon de cuisine)
In the moment? Put him to bed. Tell him he’s too drunk and he’s causing problems, acting inappropriately and put him to bed. Tomorrow, explain what happened, if he’s not immediately remorseful hit him with the “Are you proud of your actions? Trying to touch my cock in front of my family?” be explicit. Explain that is unacceptable and if that’s how he’s going to act while drunk, he can’t drink that much around your family. Set these firm boundaries.
If he’s a decent man, he’s gonna feel really regretful. You can explain you still love him, you still wanna be with him, you understand people get drunk and make bad decisions and ask him if he wants help metering his drinking and try to work out some code phrases to remind him to pace himself while saving face. Revelling drunks hate to be told “Slow down” or “Haven’t you had enough?” Something like touching his shoulder and saying “Whew, these drinks are strong! I think I’m gonna get a buffer water, do you want one, honey?”
Also, get him a Gatorade before he goes to bed and one for when he wakes up, that should help the hangover in a big way. Any electrolytes will do. I like the Brode pills.
Edit: Might wanna reassure him he didn’t ruin Christmas, buuuuut he might have made a memorable story 😏. Also if it’s too early in the day to go to bed, impress upon him he needs a lil nap and can rejoin the party after.
An ex and I fucked in an abandoned music classroom after hours while someone who had a huge crush on them was unwittingly playing beautiful piano music for us in the next room over (with headphones on).
I hated that teacher, went at it right on their desk.
There’s a joke we repeat in the office. “Crazy how ChatGPT is wrong 90% of the time on subjects I know and right 100% of the time on subjects I dont!”
It’s really only good for work that humans don’t need to look at that doesn’t really matter.
Who out there on a such a flexible schedule that their choices are either make a sandwich or work an extra 5 minutes??
