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!

I’m the wrong person to answer this. I react badly to eggs (just know it’s gastrointestinal and unpleasant) and I have oral allergy syndrome (specifically bananas).

Love hot sauce though!

I had a hard time arguing against Sam’s Club muffins for breakfast.

For less than $6, I can have nine 710 calorie muffins. But the cost to my health to eat that much pure sugar with extremely little nutrition and like zero protein?

But that’d breakfast for 9 days for less than $7 (including tax.)

People who say eating healthy is cheaper if you’re willing to spend the time have never been to Sam’s Club.

You just told them a “better example” than the one they made, because the example you told them was “better” was one you could disagree with, and that shit was transparent as hell.

You talk about wanting free debate but you used an actual strawman.

Holy crap. Thank you.

Sorry I’m OOTL; what quote?

To add to this;

The first time I played SDV was right after the death of a family member. It provided me with an insane amount of comfort.

Every time I find myself loading it up I look at my life and realize I need the peace. It’s an insanely positive influence in my life.

I had steadfastly refused to make an account for years even though I browsed daily, until someone said something stupid in one of the Occupy Wallstreet threads and I couldn’t stop myself from needing to correct them.

I have to agree to disagree.

I often do find myself more likely to talk about gender specific issues when I know that the space I’m in will make an effort to exclude those people who don’t understand that some topics aren’t for them. I have seen, time and again, how any topic focusing on the issues of a specific gender will bring out hordes of people to scream about how this exclusion is somehow evil or wrong just because it excludes them.

Gender specific conversations draw out trolls like nothing else.

The House here refers to the House of Representatives, not the White House.

Can’t wait to play this!

I’ve been assured by several friends that they will happily eat my portion, as long as I participate in the hunt.

Which is the sort of community-based, inclusive solution I like best.

I’ve been singing this a lot lately.

…I would play this franchise. My only disappointment is that I can’t enjoy it as an emo teenager and make it my entire personality.

Misread this as Concerned Ape and became… Concerned. And also mad I didn’t know there was a convention.

There’s a lot to be said about it but anyone with a brain will agree to this, and simply this;

Good.

Don’t qualify it. Don’t turn it into yet another stale argument that will invariably link some grifter’s asinine manifesto. Everyone from every side can agree that this is a good thing. Let it be enough.

I played chapter 1 and I felt like the author was writing fanfic of his characters. I hope later chapters clear up what the fuck is going on there but I don’t plan on playing chapter 2 until I can buy the whole damn thing because hurry up and wait isn’t my style.

Remembering this from Community.

“It’s Vietnam!” And he laughed. They had no idea what they were in for.
