  • I have no idea. It’s monstrously large so that might be why.

    I was buying them and eating half of one for breakfast but with like no protein and no redeeming qualities beyond “not hungry” and “taste good” I knew it wasn’t a real option. But my point here wasn’t “this is what I do,” my point was, “people are being disingenuous when they pretend it’s not a real option many people are taking.”

    I work 12 hour shifts. I do meal prep of curries or stews and that makes a good, cheap meal, but the storage required to freeze 3 meals worth of meal prep for 4 days of work… plus the time it consumes in making and properly cooling and storing those meals… it’s not a luxury many people have. Convenience options are very appealing for many reasons and there’s this place where “I have to spend at least a day a week planning for work, preparing and putting away food in order for it to be healthy” yoyos around to, “I don’t make enough to buy healthy convenience food.” If I had kids I’d never be able to prep like I do. Hell, it’s difficult as it is!













  • That’s patently incorrect. Executive dysfunction, a hallmark of ADHD, often results in something called “task paralysis” wherein you’re unable to begin a task, even though it weighs on your mind.

    The advice that a person could be exhibiting this symptom because of a different cause (such as depression) is true, but people with ADHD experience this issue at a higher frequency than their more neurologically typical peers, and if it’s a problem being caused by ADHD, and not depression, it can lead to depression as a comorbidity.




  • How about instead of your obvious personal problems with this very real disability that I, and others, suffer from, why don’t you provide me with a scientific paper? A peer-reviewed study? Literally anything other than stating your feeling as fact?

    I tell ya what. Tell me what country you’re in and I’ll provide evidence that it’s considered a disability there.
