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.

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.

Man I had to reread that headline like five times. “How was the man, who was killed, rebuking anyone?”

Absolutely fascinating! As shareholders they have a unique standing for this suit. I’m going to be watching this closely.

Wow. Innovative way to try to force change, nuns. Regardless of how you feel about guns, this is a very interesting way to attempt to accomplish their goal.

I lived here the whole time and that person is correct.

However my anecdotal experience is most people are refusing to test. Can’t get positive if you don’t test. 😩

I’ve been on Lemmy talking about this for ages. Listen. I’m in healthcare. I work under the Deparment of Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities in a 501c3 doing residential care.

The health care system in America is absolutely fucked from top down.

I’m working constantly. We do not have enough people. In my particular field, we are vastly underpaid for the work we do, so no one wants to do it. The jobs are there, the labor isn’t. And listen, no one in this job can blame them!

We’re so burned out that every time yet another person quits we all nod and say, “Good for them” and soldier on, because if we stop showing up, these people will die.

That’s just residential care. People living communally with disabilities wind up in every facet of health care (urgent care, hospitals, physicians) at an insane rate, so I see different facilities almost every day, and everywhere I go the story is the same!

Something has to give. You can’t order us to work and eventually the rising cost of living will force people like me to give up on these marginalized populations. Every LPN and CNA I know has quit healthcare altogether because it’s not worth it. The only one I know who still works is a PRN contractor who charges over $30/hour to work in nursing homes. We have to do something or there won’t be anyone left to treat anyone!

Holy crap. Thank you.

Sorry I’m OOTL; what quote?

I was crying so hard a contact popped out and I had to finish the game half blind!

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.

Imagine a railroad company evacuating your town but promising to provide you with Thanksgiving dinner… What hell

Big “bUt ThErE aRe ChIlDrEn StArViNg In AfRiCa” energy. How dare someone complain when things could be worse, right? What an ungrateful dick for wanting better just because the previous generation had that, huh?

Loved it. 10/10

I feel like the true ending cheapened a specific plot point but I was happy it happened anyway.

This gave me many giggles.
