    When i was in my 20s people always asked me how I stayed so skinny. “Have you tried being poor and being an alcoholic?”

    You’re not a true beer connisuer unless you wake up positively shaking with excitement about having your next beer.

            Absolutely fair. Used to out put partying and sprain my ankle at 23 and get up the next day like nothing happened. by 35 that would take 2 days to get better. in my med 40’s i had to start strengthening exercises because i couldn’t stay off it long enough for it to recover on it’s own.

              I wrecked my neck sleeping wrong once. Had to go get meds because it wasn’t getting immediately better the next day (nor the next two after). That’s the part about getting older that sucks. “Surprise your next hurts!”

                I was at work late no one else there, sitting on the floor, emptying out a file cabinet. Sneezed and put my back out 9/10. No phone near-by, no people. Took me 30 minutes to get into a chair, then another 10 to work up to standing.

                Left my bag there, just took my wallet/phone/keys and carefully wobbled out to the car, set the heated seats to kill and waited for the pain to subside enough to drive home.

                My late 30’s early 40’s were the hardest. Since then i’ve been working on fixing the weak muscles f’ing up my ankles and letting my existing back damage get the best of me. I still get fucked just as hard by an injury, but i’ve gotten better at staying active and not getting injured

      Im in my 40s. Two beers is not enough for regret… But regret is normally the reason for two beers.

      The protein isn’t great, and for some reason The Sharks didn’t jump at funding my “Stale” (steak ale) I could revolutionize the world of drunk weight lifting supplements.

    When I need to eat but don’t want to put in any effort: half a cup of rice, half a cup of lentils, two cups stock (I use veggie stock, but you can use chicken, beef, etc.) Season with whatever you have in your spice drawer that looks good. Bring the water to a boil then lower the heat to low and let it simmer covered for 20-ish minutes. It’s bland but filling, lentils provide protein, it’s ready in less time than it would take to get delivery, and you don’t have to watch it. Rice and lentils will keep in your cabinet forever. You can get stock paste or boullion that keeps a long time too.

    You can still have two beers, but now you’re not drinking on an empty stomach.

      Your “no effort” meal, sounds like a lot of effort to me.

      My low effort meal is “open packet, put ready meal in oven or microwave”

          I do appreciate that the listed recipe is “relatively quick and simple”, but I’m not convinced by “literally the same effort”.

          If it was, then why would anyone buy the millions of frozen/boxed/packeted “just put it in the oven for 30 minutes” or “just put it in the microwave for 2 minutes” meals? They’re not buying them for the high-quality taste, surely?

            In my experience most of the time it’s because nobody ever taught them. They grew up with shitty parents that made them think rice and beans are only for yucky brown people.

        This is low effort and cheap and relatively healthy compared to those microwave dinners though, a big bag of rice and lentils doesn’t cost much and is shelf stable for a year easily

            You can make a lot and then freeze most things without much degradation of quality and then beep beep, ping the servings.
