  • 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.



  • 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.

  • Easy and insulting way of finding out how important you are to your friends is to tell them on Whatsapp “I’m done with being forced to use this spyware app, I’m moving to Signal, you can contact me there.” Then maybe reminding them a week later about this, then uninstall Whatsapp.

    Either they think you are important enough that they go through the awful trouble of spending 90 seconds of their lives installing the Signal app, or they think thats too much trouble to keep in contact with you.

    I did that, found out that my friends didn’t really care too much about me lol. A couple did and thats nice. You don’t need 735 friends anyway. Or at least I dont.


  • Good point. I did assume a western culture background.

    I don’t know what you are trying to imply with the “sex object” comment, but personally I have never had sex with a “random” person, nor have I thought about my sex partners as sex objects. They have been people I cared a lot about and wanted to connect on a deep level. Some people do think of others as objects to have sex with, but I think thats a different conversation from what is being discussed here.

    Yes, not having sex before marriage is a horrible idea.

    Sex is a big part of a relationship. If its bad, it can break the relationship, lead to cheating etc. Better to find out before making things legally binding and having to deal with the mess afterwards with extra complications.

    Edit: not saying anyone should have sex on the first date. Get to know each others, get to trust each others. Talk about things. Then have sex only when you are comfortable with the other person and the idea of having sex with them.


  • Its the land of contradictions. They say they defend democracy, while having basically a oligarchy. They say god bless this and that, they preach christian virtues, while ignoring the vast majority of the “good” book. Their police slogan is to protect and to serve, but omit the “owning class and property” from that slogan. The famous southern hospitality is just a facade and at best limited to kind words and apple pies. They say they have freedom, while complaining about not being able to protest and protect their freedoms because they cant afford it.

    Its such a weird place. Strong stockholm syndrome vibes. Lots of brainwashing.

    And for any Americans reading this, I have many American friends who I speak to daily and they are wonderful people stuck in a bad place and at a horrible time. They are not ignorant or stupid. I know you are good people, individually. Of course there is exceptions. I’m not saying these things out of hatred or whatever.
