@Cybermonk_Taiji I was thinking maybe it could be cold soup, aka gazpacho, but the dictionary definitions of soup and gazpacho include a ‘typically with meat and vegetables’ clause.

Interestingly, the definition of ‘salad’ does not… So after pouring cereal into the bowl, before adding milk, technically you have a ‘salad’.
Also if you pile of cold cuts on a plate, that’s a meat salad… may as well throw some sausage, steak, pork chops in there too and be eating ‘salad’ every day. 👀

@enjoytemple @Cybermonk_Taiji if it’s a toddler swimming class and there’s a bunch of babies wearing diapers, does it make it a dumpling soup?

@NineMileTower @SendMePhotos I learned of the fairly hard to find apple cinnamon variety of Cheerios. Total game changer

@MGN22 One can always try to justify using information control tactics as a way to manipulate in favor of what is right, correct or just. But using manipulative tactics for ‘doing good’ cannot guarantee that they will not be used, in return, for ‘doing evil’. It just means someone else decides for you what the narrative is, gets to decide what is right or wrong, and gets to decide how you think, rather than you being able to get ahold of all the information and making that decision for yourself.

@kratoz29 @skulblaka I hate to be that guy but your double negative threw me for a loop.
I think “I hardly agree” fits better here?

@toomanypancakes
And then slightly more effort but bigger payoff is making combos of the big 3 - carb, protein, veg.

-Rice, gravy, canned peas
- Pasta, sauce (pesto?), Chicken (frozen/precooked) and (steamed bag)broccoli.
- 1 pot ‘gumbo’: rice sausage peppers onions tomatoes seasonings.
- instant noodles with an egg and some leafy veg tossed in
- frozen dumplings or ravioli
Mix and match
With some of these I feel like you’re in danger of entering the higher effort territory so take your pick

@toomanypancakes
Some effort
- tortilla wraps with anything, basically, to make food portable. Bananas and Nutella? Cold cuts and cheese? Half a can of beans and a chunk of that leftover chicken?
- veg sticks and dip/ranch. Always taste better than I expect (which is not much). “Some effort” bc I cut em myself and mix my own dip (sour cream and mayo as a base and any seasonings you have around are usually a good mix. I go garlic powder, olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice.)

@toomanypancakes

Least effort: essentially snacks, but somewhat filling and can get the job done
- string cheese (proteiny, and fun to pull apart like you’re still a kid. Why can’t adults have fun too?)
- cut up fruit
- those seaweed snacks

I understand the message here (great idea btw. Or electric kettle works too) but misreading this wording is great… “Water press button” 😜

@i_have_no_enemies I don’t blame people for having an inherent aversion to being governed by what is essentially a computer program (hello Matrix and every other robot-run dystopia).
Maybe maintain a Leader Panel of people from different ethnicities, backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, etc who can bring a unique perspective to the table, to vote on or dictate which policies or systems actually get put in place? But, again, introduces the problem of people voting for their own personal gain 🤷‍♀️

@i_have_no_enemies Possible Alternatives? I suggest something like an AI government, or at least something based on statistical models and systems developed from social science research. Something data driven, or rather, data that is derived from the population as a whole, rather than a single individual who only has had a single, particular view of the human experience and can only truly understand and relate to other humans with similar experiences. In essence, the masses govern the masses.

@i_have_no_enemies I wasn’t very popular at the dinner party where I suggested this, but my hunch: removing People from positions of authority, where we repeatedly see aspects of greed/corruption/nepotism furthering systems that benefit that person in power at the cost of the masses, may be key. Its apparent that it is nigh impossible to put a human in charge where they will always choose to benefit the masses over themselves.
