Saves me the trouble of putting a piece of tape over the camera

These days I feel its important to remember that doing some is better than doing nothing. I sometimes feel like I’m being screamed at for not being vegan enough, not eating healthy enough, not recycling enough… I do all those things as much as I possibly can. But I guess thats just a consequence of online social media virtue signalling, everyone is trying to out do everyone else by screaming into the void about how well they are doing with not eating bacon or whatever the fuck is the latest trend.

Alrighty then.

I made a silly joke, not bitching. Calm down Karl :D

Indeed. I do have a hiking trip planned in a few weeks!

Haven’t been able to go for a proper hike in a few months, still recovering from a surgery. But the day hikes I’ve done recently have gone well so I’m confident I can get back to the old schedule without too much issues :)

it’s gonna be interesting how Trump blockade plays out

We’ll find out by Tuesday.

Because its perfect.

Ah, I see. I thought you meant like heavily processed when you used the word “processed” but you meant the “something has been done to it” kind of processed :D

For what its worth, frozen stuff is usually equally as healthy as fresh stuff. I use like 90% frozen stuff because I’m lazy and don’t want to walk every other day to the shop, that is over 400 meters away from me. Lately my favorite snack has been to roll some frozen green beans in oil, salt and pepper on them and throw them into the oven until they are brown.

I’m also extremely lazy to cook. Now that I don’t have a girlfriend to cook for anymore, I just throw some stuff into the pan/pot, let them be there for 30-40minutes, mix it up with rice or quinoa and stuff that in my mouth. Takes very little effort, pretty cheap and because I keep a semi low heat, I don’t have to keep my eye on the stuff all the time so I can go bother people in IRC and not worry about burning anything. If I have extra time, I use the slow cooker thing I have, throw shit in there and leave it be for a few hours.

Why do you need to use your full name? I’ve never had issues with my eLiTeh4x0r@email.com style email account. Not with official government stuff and not with work related things.

I call them boring.

processed “essentials”

Like, which ones?

Ah, I love how google is protecting me and my fragile mind <3

lol I didn’t mean those sort of rules/instructions. I meant the stuff like “pineapple doesn’t belong on a pizza” type things.

But you are correct, the ready made meal instructions are often a bit iffy. One thing they get right is the consistency though. Once you figure out how long you need to boil things, you can get them done fairly well. Though I only use those Knorr bags on my camping trips and its always the last one that I cook, that I get right. Then by the time I go for the next hike, I’ve already forgotten lol. But luckily everything tastes better when you are in the wilderness.

This level of stupidity is a work hazard

I don’t care about the rules. I don’t even know what the hell I’m doing most of the time. I do read recipes, but I don’t follow them. They are more like ideas for me, as in “oh they are using that spice with these veggies, might try that some time.”

Most of the time I just throw stuff in the pan/pot and let them be over the heat for a bit. So far, nobody has complained about the food. Though that might be because I eat alone.

Delete the apps from your phone.

No need to delete the accounts if you think those are something you want to keep. You can still use the browser versions of them. Those browser versions suck, that will make you want to use them less (hopefully, don’t know how addicted you are). The more you get frustrated with using the things, the less you want to use them. Its like making cigarettes taste absolutely horrible and disgusting in order to not want to smoke them.

Or leave your phone somewhere that you cant reach. On top of your bookshelf, in your clothes closet, kitchen. Make it so that there is barriers, however small, to using them. You could go to extremes and lock it in a safe that only your mom has access to. Or you could install one of those apps that lock you out for a certain period of time.

Leave your phone home and go take a walk. Walk to the library, read some magazines, newspapers or books there. Get a mp3 player, put some music, podcasts or audiobooks in it and go for a walk.

Barriers are the thing. You don’t have to lock yourself out of the devices, apps and services. Just make using them slightly inconvenient. Then raise the inconvenience levels bit by bit.

You are just stuck in a routine. Break the routine, break the addiction.

If a company only communicates through facebook, discord etc, that company doesn’t exist for me. So far, I haven’t had any issues in my life because of it.

Really? That sounds awful.

The IRC servers I’m at don’t have ads. Its very nice.

Not to worry, I have a torch.

It works fine. For now.

The dev team had disagreements, a bunch left, made their own thing, Morphe. Thats all I know/remember. There was a reddit thread explaining the shenanigans, you should be able to find that fairly easily.
