Honestly, where is facebook still used? in EU as far as i know is just for old people that spam emojis and fake news, is it still relevant in Us?

Reply to LPT: Save pizza slices in a container, first piece toppings down, second piece toppings up, wax paper or parchment paper, third piece toppings down fourth piece toppings up. by centstwo
A better LPT would be to explain to me how does one end up with leftover pizza.

This helps me a lot. Also asking the question "do I ACTUALLY want/need this or am I just thinking about it because it's right in front of me and I like it?"

Also to say that this is “stupid bad advice” is just disrespectful. You are more than welcome to disagree, I welcome that, but let’s keep our criticism constructive.
I value your input because you’ve lived a different experience from me, and I will absolutely take it into consideration.
My post wasn’t perfect, but it is my experience and I assure you, I’m living proof that it has merit….just like your comments have merit because it’s your experience

if it’s been slice on top of slice on a plate not covered in the refrigerator and eaten cold the next day, it’s still pretty damn good

you're not doing it right

These things are designed to be addictive. These companies are incentive to make them as addictive as possible for profit no less

You want something done in a way that cleary isnt the way they want it done. You are not going to talk them into caring about it the way you do. Have a respectful conversation about what you want, not what you view as their failure. I would say the easiest soloution would be to come up with something they can do more of, that you both think is fair, to compensate for you taking over the dishes entirely.

going to a blood test dehydrated is like 'don't do #1'.
i remember we used to have blood drives at an office i worked at. i was super young. but everyone went to go give blood so i tagged along because why not give blood, that's a good person thing to do. so i went and it was like 10am and all i had was a cup of coffee since like 7am. probably didn't even drink any water the night before because i was terrible about drinking water when i was young.
made that mistake one time. 😂

I knew that I’d get push back…and I’m fine with that, I was right there with you.
Let’s take the company itself out of it, because I agree that they’re exploitative, and they will squeeze every last drop out of you…I know it and I’ve experienced it.
My point is, if you’re stuck there, make the most of it…I’m not telling people to bust their ass for the company…I’m saying, bust your ass for yourself! Use the resources available to make you a better candidate and get out as soon as possible
It’s so easy to say, “they’re taking advantage of me and it sucks”….and it’s likely true…don’t stick around, don’t kill yourself for them…that’s all I’m saying.
Again, I’m not saying you’re wrong, I agree with you, but I don’t think you understood the point of my post
Edit: just to reiterate, none of this advice relates to the company, zero. I’m just acknowledging that resources are available to brownnosers and non-brownnosers alike…do one without the other, be selfish, it’s ok, they are too, and they won’t apologize for it and neither should anyone else
Sure, they’re going to benefit from your betterment, there’s nothing to do about that, but you’re just making yourself more and more marketable to where you can escape to a company that values you….or, you have the talents to take your skills on the road with you

... No, lol just no. I've worked hard and all I ever receive in reward was explotation and no raises or promotions. This is bad advice in 2023....
Companies want brown nosers, NETWORKING makes you successful, "trying hard" is stupid bad advice because no one notices the hard worker, they notice the noticable, which is the talkers.

Reply to comment by Red-Sun-Rise in LPT: Treat cooking like learning a sport. Very few ever walk onto the court as "naturals." Keep practicing with realistic expectations and learn by trail-and-error. by LogicPrevail
- What meat do I buy?
- What vegetable goes well with that meat?
- How much of either do I buy?
- What kind of pan or pot do I use?
- What temperature setting do I use?
- Do I use oil or butter? Which kind? How much?
- Seasoning: When and how much?
- When do I put my meat in the pan and when do I take it out?
- Do I have to boil the vegetable first? If yes, how long?
You probably don't think about most of these questions because you already can cook, but someone whose highest culinary achievement is spaghetti with ketchup certainly will.
A lot of these questions get answered by a meal kit service.
And so you learn and gain experience.
Will it make you a great home cook? Probably not, but neither was that the topic of this thread nor did I imply it would.
Regarding waste: A meal kit saves waste, because you have exactly the right amount of food, so no leftovers.
If that diesel truck drives from HelloFresh to my door or to the supermarket (where you have to get it from somehow) is not that impactful imo.
Oh and knife skills? Do you think every dish from a meal kit comes pre cut?

Further life pro tip: don’t have pictures of your father’s bed sores in the same group of pictures you want to show to other people. Learned that one the hard way myself.

Reply to comment by BGFalcon85 in LPT: Take your adopted animals from shelters straight to a vet as soon as possible. by bcurtiswx
Great point! Definitely get as much information as you can from the shelter and bring it with you. The shelter I adopted from had all that and made it a priority to give it to me, but I can imagine not all shelters remember!

True. Makes giving blood substantially easier.

This is a terrible tip. Now I have a piece of pizza with smeared toppings and spread all over the bottom of my container, as well as smeared toppings on the top piece and spread all over the container lid. And I wasted a bunch of paper doing it. Just keep it in the box.
