    Gamers are so goofy, I swear to god.

    We arguably live in a golden age of gaming, there are so many goddamn games to play and people still swarm to the one made by companies that fucking killed people and are actively working to milk as much money out of you as possible and to make the hobby you enjoy worse in the long run in favor for short term profits. This is why people don’t take you people seriously.

    I don’t think I agree with this “nobody has time” thing. Most people don’t get that excuse, you can usually make time, most people just choose not to. Do you make time to shower and brush your teeth?

    I understand that there are food deserts and some people legitimately work multiple jobs and have kids and that fast food or microwavable dinners and generally unhealthy foods are quick and convenient and affordable but cooking your food doesn’t take that much time and not drinking soda frequently takes no time.

    Also it’s not like veggies and lean meats like chicken are expensive for most people in the US. You can genuinely fill up your basket with lots of leafy greens, veggies, mushrooms and some animal protein for significantly cheaper than with junk food and microwavable dinners, hot pockets, deli meats and cheeses and bread. Unless you live in Alaska maybe.

    Not being dismissive of peoples’ struggles, a ton of us are being overworked for less money than we’re worth, but if you need to you’ll make time, you figure it out. Yeah there’s sugar in everything processed, cool, you have affordable options that admittedly take a bit of effort to prepare and don’t taste as good, but we can eat those and we can eat less. Overeating, constant junk snacking and portion size is also a huge issue in our culture.

    Clean as you go, don’t just leave it all for the end. Onions are sauteing and you’re done chopping everything? Good, wash your cutting board and knife and clean up any messes before the next step. Sausage is done browning and you’re dumping it in with the onions for a minute with the garlic and some herbs? Great, wash that pan and spoon and set it down to dry and wipe up all the oil splashes.

    Just makes clean up so much easier after you’ve eaten and you’re much more efficiently using your time.
