but I am NOT social.

Said to another human while using a service that is designed for social interaction.

You might be awkward in public but you're still human.

FR tho

It's somehow three times the work to bury them a second time. Plus you always get stuck fixing during the day.

Remember kids, if you think you dug the hole deep enough, you didn't.

This is how you know they didn't have friends. Select & Start was the end combo for two player cheat.

It just has quinoa in it. There are lots of other ingredients as well.

I would bet money that most people who hate the idea of a "quinoa" patty don't eat quinoa and likely don't even know how to pronounce it.

I tell meat eaters and vegetarians the same thing about this.

"Do not compare this to the best meat hamburger you ever had. Instead pretend its a completely new food that you've never tried."

Treat it like a protein option and stop trying to force it to be just like something else. It is very similar to meat in many ways, but it isn't meat. I don't consume much advertising so I don't know if the companies are selling it and saying that it's indistinguishable.

It's not "fake", it just isn't "meat".

Oh yes it does have enough salt to stand on its own. I never add salt to either Beyond or Impossible brands. I might add other seasoning if I'm trying to hit a flavor profile (liquid smoke, cajun spices, curry, etc).

You can just plop it out as-is and it'll cook up nicely. Just don't squish all the liquid out of it. I've had some nasty versions because people get away with poor cooking skills with reql meat and these don't tolerate the same abuses.

Even if you don't mind, the longer you give up meat the less interesting it is as a flavor.

I think there's a curve to this.

When I first became vegetarian there were no fake meat options. If you got something that looked or tasted like meat it was because there was meat in it. Gross and nobody wanted that.

But after 20+ years being vegetarian, it's REALLY nice to have some other options. I still enjoy a garden burger or black bean burger if it's the only non-meat option but I can't remember the last time I bought it in the store. The rise in popularity of vegetarian foods and all the fad diets have made it so there's tons of options now.

My meat eating friends all love both Beyond and Impossible. A few actually prefer it to a standard burger.

Now if we can just teach restaurants how to cook them properly...

They are called ducks because they duck.

You have lots of good answers posted but here is the trick...You have to START.

You don't need to sign up at the gym today and build a schedule to work out. That's way too much commitment. Instead just go outside.

That's it. Just put down the phone and go outside. Spend 5 or 10 mins out there. You didn't run a marathon, but you've done something today. Maybe later today you can go outside again. Tomorrow so the same thing. Put the phone down and go outside for a short time.

You gotta start somewhere, so make it easy and start small. Eventually you'll spend more time outside and less time doing nothing. Maybe you see cool plants and start getting into gardening. Maybe you find that walking isn't so bad and you find a park with a nice trail and work into jogging? Maybe the kid down the street wrecks his minibike in front of your house while you're outside and you stop to help and think the tiny motorcycle is cool and get inspired to start riding.

tldr- Don't just pick someone else's hobby. Put down the phone and go experience life outside your home. The hobby will likely find you when you start paying attention instead of distracting yourself.

It takes a lot of effort to get liberty spikes to set. And then you have to maintain it. I think it's been close to a decade since I last put mine all the way up into spikes. It's just not practical.
