You really do not have to be this aggressive, my dude. I don't have meal planning issues, I just wanted to bring up one aspect of meal planning that doesn't always work for everybody.
People work with what they have, I just wanted to mention the thing about freezers because people tend to always assume that everybody has a lot of freezer space, which isn't the case. That is all. No need to get all bent out of shape over it.
Can't afford it atm. Not everybody is rolling in money xD
I'm not playing victim. I'm just pointing out that some people have tiny freezers.
Sure, but I just wanted to point out that some of us do not have freezers that can store a lot of food. Whenever I see people being like "just freeze the leftovers" I look at my freezer like "how?". If I put a bag of beans, a bag of ice and some springrolls in there, it is filled to the brim.
People shouldn't assume that everybody have tons of space to store perishable foods. That's all.
In my household we usually go for small packs of food when we shop groceries. Meats and vegetables etc. We go for small sizes because we don't want to end up throwing out food. It's not cheaper, but it is less wasteful in the long run.
Awesome. Where should I put it? I live in a small apartment. My kitchen is the size of a shoebox.
Problem is that some of us have freezers the size of matchboxes, so it is very limited what leftovers we can put in the freezer. It's something I have attempted to tell my parents who have big freezers and lots of good ideas to how you can buy this and that in bulk and just freeze it for later and save so much money!! Cool. But my freezer is still the size of a matchbox.
Ich habe schlecthe Nachtrichten für dich, mein Freund.
That's not how you spell Australians and last I checked they didn't start any world wars.

Is that the baddie? I only saw the first Ironman movie and that was a million years ago.
Ten years ago, I barely knew who he was. Would've liked to have kept it that way.
He certainly did. Then he also decided to talk shit about my country - again (looking at you, Fox News in 2016 when you compared us to Venezuela) because we have been sooooooo terrible to Greenland and he could do soooooooooooooooo much better. The fucking irony that the inuit refused to let Vance and his wife into their homes when they decided to go on a visit. Do you know how much of a fuck you'll have to be for the inuit to not invite you over for Kaffemik?
Nah, I'm good. My comment wasn't meant to be this sad woe is me rant. It was a critique of the meme since I did have friendships like that in my youth and just like in Friends, my friendgroup(s) split up when that period of our lives ended and we went on to start our adult lives.
It is a completely normal part of life. I don't see it as a terrible thing.
I think the impermanence of life is one of the most difficult things to accept, but once you do, there is some beauty to it too.
I think it is or at least should be one of the biggest motivators to try and live in the now. I have been the most happy, when I try to live in the now and appreciate what I have right now. It takes a bit of practice but it is doable and it a great antidote to anxiety and depressive thoughts in my experience. You cannot live in the now all the time, but aiming toward it, is a good way to spend the limited time you have in this life.
Big hugs to you.
Yeah, I think those memories are to be cherished. Your apartment setup back then genuinely sounds like a setup for a wholesome sitcom xD
It's stuff like that, that makes me have very few regret from my 20s because I full on just wanted to make friends and throw myself into a bunch of scenarios with them while I had the chance and was still young.
When I hit 30, I was like "I'm ready to move forward".
Still miss it sometimes. That closeness and the goofy shit we got up to sometimes. Also just the hanging out on those lazy evenings. Good times ❤️
I know it is popular to shit on Friends these years, but I think that it captures the growing up part of life pretty well as the show is basically about capturing a snapshot in time of a group of friends when they were the closest before adult life tore them apart. Because that is how the show ends. They all grow up, have adult responsibilities, different priorities and they all leave the apartment complex to start new lives away from one another.
In my 20s I had a group of friends for awhile and we would hang out in each other's apartments all the time, sometimes we would sleep over at each other's places and have breakfast together before heading to school. We would go on picnics and excursions together. All pile into the old, rusty car that one of us owned and drive somewhere.
We had a pub we liked to visit semi-regularly and we were pretty 50/50 men and women.
When we got our degrees, most of us packed up and left. We are now in our 30s and some have had kids in the meantime while most of us have grown apart. Some of us still keep in contact and hang out when our schedules permits it, but it isn't like it was when we were in our 20s.
To me, Friends is an idealized version of the friends group stuff in your 20s. To me it isn't as unrealistic as it's being made out to be nowadays, but it is idealized.
I treasure the few years I got to have good friends and classmates that I loved to hang out with and treat as family. No matter how much time passes, whenever we get to meet up again, it is almost like no time has passed at all, and that is such a great feeling, even if we only get to see each other like once a year.
Whatever their reasons for screeching, it's not something I care to be around.
We have all screeched at some point, especially online. I'm not innocent either, I have just grown out of it and seek to engage with people in more productive ways.
It is one of the reasons I came here in the first place because silly me believed this place would be full of rational and mature people and they are certainly here too, but holy shit have I been overall disappointed in the tone on this platform. To me it is no different than Meta, Twitter and Reddit and maybe I was a fool for believing there would be a platform online where people act normal and are able to have a discussion without becoming hysterical and flinging insults as the first measure of rebuttal.
This is like saying that everything is religious and that everyone is religious and then making arguments for why everything can be turned into religious doctrin.
You're technically not wrong if you choose to have that lens on for everything, but it is a very limiting way of viewing the world and to someone like me, borderline madness.
It is also more of an uhm actually argument rather than engaging with the point I was making that I think most of us are aware of. When someone says they would like to avoid politics they are more often than not referring to the aggressive and argumentative stupidity that occurs between people when certain inflamed topics - usually current events in politics - are brought up. It is pretty easy to discern that from anyone who says "can we just not talk about politics right now?"
Much like dicks and religion, some people just don't want that shit shoved down their fucking throats constantly because it is rarely if ever productive and beneficial to anyone. It is, at most a passing contest or an attempt to shame and attack people who sees the world differently from yourself.
For what it's worth, I am very appreciative of you making me aware of Knockout as an alternative. 🤗
In my household we tend to buy just enough that we know we can eat it over the course of two to three days if it is perishable foods.
If the store sells smaller packs of meat and vegetables and other perishable foods, we buy those and use them in our cooking the next few days.
We don't have a lot of freezer space and we don't have a garden, so we try and avoid bulk buying unless we know we will be able to eat it all before it goes bad. It works pretty well.
