Eating is often a drag. You have to set aside time, you might get heartburn, you have to suppress burps, you might get a buildup of muckus in your throat that you have to lightly cough away. If I feel lethargic I often feel better just drinking some lemon water.
I’m often irritable anyway. Eating doesn’t help unless I have low blood sugar to the point of being fatigued. It often makes it worse.
I think parent has reached another level of enlightenment.
They are right! Eating maybe cause all of these things and for some people eating is just a chore.
I wish I was like that. I love eating though and I also enjoy a few more bodily functions!
Imagine experiencing such sour grapes over someone expressing a different opinion (on a subjective topic) that you sarcastically call them enlightened. Maybe this “hangry” concept isn’t just some dumb zoomer slang, indeed.
If there are no other illness, heartburn / reflux, burps, stomach rumbling, stomach pain etc. is all quite common if you regularly eat outside. Taste sells, so food in restaurant use copious amounts of oil / butter, sugar, salt, refined flour, MSG, etc. all of which are unhealthy when consumed in quantity and regularly. Eating home-cooked food really makes a difference to your gut health.
A lunch for me could either be a salad from the grocery store or raw broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, almonds, and maybe one of hard-boiled eggs/canned ham/cheese.
That sounds healthy except perhaps for the canned ham, if it is processed; diary products like cheese can cause bloating, pain, flatulence etc. if you are lactose intolerance (according to this article - https://www.everydayhealth.com/digestive-health/foods-that-c... - Broccoli and carrot can also gas, but not a real cause for concern with healthy foods like these). Apart from that you still face the common issue of hygiene and when the food was prepared. When eating out, we don't know what goes in the kitchen where the food is prepared and can only make a best guess that the food is handled hygienically in a clean environment. So that's out of our hand. But in grocery stores, we can certainly keep an eye out for the date / time the food was prepared and try to buy it "fresh". Foods that are kept out for long or not stored properly in the right temperature do undergo change (fermentation for e.g.) and that can also affect our tummy.
I said they are unhealthy when eaten regularly in the quantity that restaurants use. That, and the fact that restaurants (even the good ones) sometimes serve leftovers often cause these issues. (And a healthy person won't remain healthy for long if they eat regularly eat unhealthy food from restaurants).
This is certainly not the norm. Although having to cook/buy/think about food is annoying, the overwhelming majority of people I know love eating. The rest are mainly apathetic (target market for Soylent and similar products), I don't think anyone I know actively hates eating, with the caveat that several have to exclude certain foods for various reasons.
Change hates -> drags and it'd still be the same meaning just less strong. I know many people who hate meal prep but that's totally separate from the actual act of eating which is absolutely not seen as a 'drag' by most people.
It's a basic human drive so if you've grown up with a negative experience that you've generalised unknowingly to something that should be pleasurable, you should know that, since recognising it will hopefully lead to a fix. The reason to care is because you have to eat, so it's preferable to enjoy it rather than not.
You’ve misunderstood the degree to which I find eating to be inconvenient. It is merely that: at times inconvenient. I have a good appetite and am more likely to gain excess weight as opposed to losing weight due to not being motivated to eat.

The fallacy here is conflating package maintenance with OSS code authoring. Write code and throw it over the wall? Okay, why not? Package maintenance is another issue. Why wouldn’t people who depend on your packages have opinions on how you maintain them?
> Maybe we can find a future for package indexes where maintainers of packages are not burdened further because the internet started depending on it. It's not the fault of the creator that their creation became popular.
Hopefully this is tongue in cheek. Or else it’s got some very Neil Peart energy.

I’m a rockstar but I don’t want to be recognized at a 7/11 (or Tim Hortons).
Don’t you think it describes a true feeling, though? I read the laws long after my time living on-off in Scandinavia (way before the weird “cool Scandinavia,” “let’s all be hygge” trend started) and was amazed at how it captured the silent feelings I observed in society there.
Most people who talk about it have lived in only one place, namely some Scandinavian country. They have nothing to compare it to. Yet they are somehow convinced that that describes their place as something unique compared to other places. When really, for all they know, those things could be general characteristics. Or just the human (social) condition.
I’ve lived in a few places for several years at a time. Based on my (still limited, but real) experiences, I think Jante Law isn’t unique to Scandinavia, but it’s definitely real, and it definitely isn’t a universal phenomenon.
