    Oh odd, there was like 3 replies here.

    Also “pandering tone deaf comment” kinda implies you are being emotional, which is fine, people are but it does nothing to prove your point that you aren’t.

    Sorry this slipped past but the crux of this is that the article is blaming people for spending money on food, I will make no illusions to how that makes people feel. You giving “advice” on how to eat for less is pandering on almost the same level as the “article”. I am sick of people telling me and others to just “get gud” at life, when we did not ask and are doing as well as we can.

    And imitation crab meat? Really I can’t afford butter and you expect me to spend a whole days budget on pressed minced fish?

      Just saw your edit. Woah what??? Sorry the pack I buy is the expensive stuff and it’s still on like 2 bucks. The like stringed tofu soaked in fish juice you buy in the freezer section?

      Damn if that is expensive where you live you absolutely have problems with cost.

      But again not meant to be pandering just meant to be suggestions for things I make that are tastier than hotdogs and Mac and cheese for close to the same price even.

      If you are absolutely poor and can’t afford shit finding a nice recipe that you can make for still cheap feels like heaven. I think I have just been poor longer than you.

      I am sick of people telling me and others to just “get gud” at life, when we did not ask and are doing as well as we can.

      You are projecting on me because you are upset and that’s fine. It’s hard to see others doing great and feel like you are missing out on the secret that is “just have more money”.
      I’m saying, finding out you can make a nice dish using the bare bones of what you got can feel nice.

      I like food, it’s one of the few things that helps me get through my shitty existence as well, so in the same vain that I suggest keeping green onions fresh by putting them in a jar on your windowsill I suggest to people that there is a dish called Chilaquiles that most don’t know of because it’s considered poor food but is really tasty and just salsa, chicken stock and tortillas, (heck I like to use the ones from my rare visit to a Mexican restaurant and ask if I can take extra home with me because they are thicker).
      It’s because I hope they have a nice meal too.

      Humans are supposed to share knowledge. It’s what got us here. I’m just trying to do that.

      Hmmm maybe I’m not federated with those. Honestly I just see you replying.

      There are comments of course but my comment looks like down votes and you and me.
      And people tend to vote with the herd so I wanted to invite people to at least try and say something as to why they would so that it wasn’t just blind herd voting and I could see the discourse and learn if there was something to learn.

      I don’t wish to be a dick but I don’t want to just be a blind punching bag either l, you know?

        Ah, well it looked like you where unhappy down votes happen and it came off weird. Makes more sense that it is more odd lemmy stuff. No hard feelings from me.
