politics

it costs more than it should, but I decided long ago my time was worth more, and I never make the decsion whether to take it or not

Time is something balanced in the weighing of wasting things though to be fair

I take it every day, multiple times a day, and never weigh the pros and cons

so I do not disagree

I try to reduce the number of value decisions I have to make, so I just determined what the yearly "toll" budget was roughly

Meanwhile, I optimally planned my eating for the week before I left and consumed literally every perishable thing, so nothing will go bad

same for water, electricity, gas or w/e me hyper conserving will save me at most 10% on that bill

and will involve 100,000 micro decisions about how to save a cent or less

and I just don't want to think about it

food I'm pretty stringent on, I like trying stuff, but I'm fairly price sensitive

and don't buy stuff that's stupid

my energy costs are way higher than yours spooky

food waste I'd like to be better on, but most of what I waste is produce or hyper-perishable stuff like milk

which feels kind of inevitable

when you buy a box of strawberries or w.e

Milk is crazy

I have never had milk go bad because I drink it all before it goes bad

I mostly mean milk to cook with

Oh

drinking milk, yeah I'll just drink that

like, I threw out some buttermilk and whole milk this week,

and sour cream

that I used 75%+ of

but I'm not going to just chow down on sour cream, to avoid wasting it

I typically just don't but shit if I am not pretty sure I will use all of it

I'm trying to think of anything else that fits there

honestly, sour cream or cream cheese are like #1 and #2

of things I don't think I ever fully finish off

before they go bad

You should see if your groundhogs will eat it

lol

oh

salad dressing

oil/vinegar lasts forever

Feed your groundhog only sour and fermented foods

but god forbid you have a thing of caesar dressing

that will never get fully used

Better not be made with seed oil

Gent funilly enough, I think the fact I buy the non-seed oil version

means it's 10x as perishable

idk, I think I'm more concerned about "wasteful spending" when it comes to food

versus 5-10% of it going bad before I can use it

Spooky, you literally didn't know what seed oils were earlier this year

I was arguing with you specifically about peanut oil

which is not the same as vegitable oil, in terms of how bad it is for you

Only oil I use for cooking is olive oil

that was the argument

I remember that post from spooky lmao

Spooky you are just making things up

not at all

I remember the VC

It was about mayo

This wasn't in vc retard

was this when you made fun of me becaue my maya was sorta green

I don't remember the mayo convo

I re-read that convo

I stand by what I said

buying Cali mayo is weird

Okay, I'll go out of state for it next time

What does this entail then

that was probably a lie, or it may happen to be true

I swear

I buy these weird salad dressings in these little jars

so I literally don't know, but they go bad really fast

and I choose to believe it's because they use "better ingredients" or some shit

Do you

Read the ingredients

I can't tell

they're not for individual sale

Bro cannot read

no, they don't have the nutritian labels on the jars

they're on the box they came in instead

so I'd have to check at the store

and be a faggot who sits in the isle reading labels

See, the cool thing is you only have to read them once

Then you know which brand to get on every future visit

I feel like this is all some gotcha, where you're going to reveal to me that Caesar dressing means "cream of rapeseeds" or smt

and I'm just retarded for not knowing that random fact

The majority of time it will be soybean oil
