We always hear about people’s bad habits but what’s your good habit? Mine is whenever I have a meal that has vegetables in it I always eat that first. That way I get it out if the way then I can enjoy the rest of meal without having to worry about eating it.
I always finish what I sta
Oh shit, it’s Candleja-
Is this a wild Candlejack reference? Better tell everyone to avoid saying Candlejack. Hey everyone! Don’t say Candleja–
Variants like “scandal jacker” also trigger it and-
Candlejack Candlejack Candlejack
I’m gonna need more rope!
I never hit snooze. I get up once my alarm goes off.
Probably helps that I sleep like absolute shit and was already tossing and turning anyway lol
oh dude, me too.
Sad high five o/\o
Sad high five indeed lol
I never get up without snoozing at least once, even if I’m already awake
I floss everyday.
Same. After years of neglect, I finally had everything fixed at the same time. After 2 years of dental work and thousands spent out-of-pocket, I now floss and brush religiously.
If I make a typo, rather than autocorrecting or deleting a few characters I delete the whole word and re-type it from the beginning. That way the correct spelling gets into my muscle memory and I’m much less likely to make the typo again in the future.
If I make a typo, I try to keep as many of the letters on the page as possible - no need to throw them away and use new ones. Waste not.
This. Been doing this for decades and it’s great. Still fuck certain words up for some reason tho. Separate, people, etc.
“ie” vs “ei” are my kryptonite. e.g. receive, sieve.
I after E except after C and a thousand other exceptions
Or whenever I please, as in feisty and seize!
and a thousand other exception
👆 🤦♂️ 🤣
Yup, I get seize backwards a lot cause it violates the i before e except after c rule.
Maybe if you think real hard about a person going into a seizure and flinging themselves backwards, it’ll pop back in your head the next time you go to type “seize” and help you remember.
I mean I know how it’s spelled, I recognize it when I get it backwards, it’s just muscle-memory fucks me about half the time.
One of us! Also for anyone who doesn’t know, you can do ctrl+backspace to instantly delete the entire word. It’s usually faster to do that and retype it than it is to hit backspace precisely enough times to get to the typo!
Returning the shopping cart
I was a carry-out at my local hardware store for a few years in college. I brought carts in from the corrals and helped people load heavy stuff. I’ve seen and been victim to the damage caused when a rogue cart catches the wind and fucks off down the parking lot. People that leave their cart not in a corral or inside disgust me more than more most lazy people.
You’re my hero, dude.
Thank you. I couldn’t figure out anything I do right, but this is the thing I always do.
We are good people!
Probably writing. I make sure to write a little every day. I feel like it helps me keep a rhythm and allows me to reflect on the things I care about, the things I’m thinking about, and what I’ve done that day.
That way I get it out if the way then I can enjoy the rest of meal without having to worry about eating it.
I always find it so weird to hear that there really are people that genuinely dislike vegetables. Or am I misunderstanding this? I love veggies :D
Oh, it’s not that I don’t like them. But if I have the option to eat a steak or some veggies, I’d rather eat the steak.
Well, to each their own :D
I like some but dislike most. I love peas, corn, (soft) carrots, black eyed peas. Green beans are meh, depends how they’re cooked. Can’t do broccoli or asparagus or spinach or any of the really green stuff.
I’m rather colourblind, so I’m really not sure what the really green stuff is. Are peas not really green? I thought they were orange for a very long time, but I’m pretty sure I’ve been told they’re green, actually.
Black eyed peas freaking rock. I love black eyed pea salad with onion and tuna. A shame you don’t vibe with broccoli… I love roasted broccoli, especially. Oh well!
Green beans, broccoli, spinach, brussels sprouts, stuff like that. Peas are green but they’re kind of a lighter green instead fo the darker green of those foods.
Hmmm yeah, I guess I just don’t get it - or don’t see it, more accurately.
So the color isn’t what bothers me obviously, but the color is affected by the same things that affect the flavor. There’s a very strong green taste in stuff like spinach and broccoli that either isn’t there or is quite a bit milder in peas, and that’s what I have issue with.
I wonder if that’s genetic; there’s people that say celery tastes like soap, for example. I thought it might be something similar.
Celery I don’t mind, it’s just pretty bland without PB or cheese or w/e. I think you’re thinking of cilantro though, and… probably a combination of nature and nurture; I’m sure if I ate more of those foods as a kid I would like them more too. shrug
Since it’s important for health to consume some of the green stuff, it’s helpful to find out how you dislike it least. For instance, cooked spinach is just as revolting as raw, but you only have to swallow about a quarter of the amount because of shrinkage. Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts are better if you roast them until they mostly taste like brown. And shrinkage happens there, too.
Zucchini is a green vegetable that’s less offensive imho, and can hide in a spaghetti sauce without ruining it.
Don’t go with any recipe that “celebrates the delicious flavor” of anything you don’t already like.
You can also be your own mom and puree veggies into the gravy/sauce of your meat.
Anyway, good on you for eating the veggies first. It’ll also start filling you up, so the steak will feel more satisfying.
I eat celery and peas, I like scallions in certain dishes, I get pickles and lettuce on my burgers or sandwiches… I’m eating plenty of green stuff, just not that green stuff. I’ve never tried zucchini tho, will have to check that out.
Unsolicited advice incoming!
Green beans stir-fried with tofu or something are great. Could also try broccoli stir-fried; if you manage to cook them just enough that they still have some snap, they’re great.
Asparagus painted with butter, grilled, then served with lemon juice squeezed over them are heavenly.
Spinach I only like fresh so I sympathize.
I really dislike tofu, the taste and texture both are just blech. However, I don’t universally hate green beans; a friend of mine makes this green bean and potato casserole with dill flavoring and that shit is great. But just by themselves, boiled or whatever, meh.
Asparagus painted with butter, grilled, then served with lemon juice squeezed over them are heavenly.
At that point you’re just burying the flavor of the asparagus with butter and lemon juice, and I can think of better-tasting things to convey those flavors. ;)
Doing sport, regullary. It keeps me fit, healthy and sane. It gave me some pride in my achievements and more power in the long run. Even if it sometimes stressy to fit time for it in my schedule, it is worth it. It also taught me that I am able to do more than I thought, a very valuable lesson for me.
Amazing. for me it was plants that inspired me to do daily exercise. Plants are always growing. No goal no nothing. All they think and all they do is growing, getting taller and stronger.
This is such a nice view! :)
Following my weightlifting routine (tactical barbell). I’m on a 38 week streak and I don’t have the words to describe how much better I feel, and how much it has improved my life over the last few years. If anyone is even remotely interested in getting in shape, it’s so worth it
I hate how hard I’m having to think about this
Your best habit is taking time to fully think things through before acting on it
Nice save but I’d like a confirmation
Youre probably bring too hard on yourself
I record events of the day, daily. Going on a year now. Just a quick jot of the most eventful thing of the day. Nice to look back and remember things that happened through out the year.
Use an app called “Daily You” in F-droid to help me organize it all, if anyone is interested.
I’ve gotten better at saying please and thank you often, I guess
I make my bed every day.
Assuming that I’ll forget something and setting a reminder of some type to make sure that I don’t forget.
I do this often
On the weekend I will go for a 8.5mi hike to a abandoned fire tower and eat lunch. Same hike but I always see something different.
I tell people directly when I appreciate something they did.
