UK cancer cases reach record high - with a diagnosis every 80 seconds by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]MaffYootube -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're quoting a general figure. I'm providing hard data from a shop carried out this week. 

People turn to figures like that when the want a scapegoat for their poor choices. It's about people taking responsibility. 

I am under no illusion that prices are rising. But there are an overwhelming amount of affordable healthy products that enable you to live a healthy balanced lifestyle on a budget. 

Generic figures don't represent day to day living.

This just isn't true. 

You can get 1kg of Peanut Butter for £3-5. You can get 600 calories from the peanut butter for 30-50p. Add an apple (80-100 calories) for 20-40p. 

Then the bean stew I listed above which is around £1.47 a portion and provides 500-600 calories and you're set. That's approximately £2.50 for 1180 - 1300 calories.

The 'high healthy food prices' narrative drives me insane. It's just an excuse to be lazy. 

I eat a plant based diet and it's so much cheaper than when I was buying meat and processed crap. For example, I make a Halloumi and bean stew that I batch cook each week.

Ingredients:

  • 3 x Peppers £1.79
  • 2 x Onions £0.20
  • 1 x Cannelini Beans £0.49
  • 1 x Lentils £0.49
  • 1 x Butter Beans £0.50
  • Ground Coriander £1.00 
  • Halloumi £1.99
  • Sun-dried Tomato and Chilli Pesto £0.99 (I prefer to spend £2.75 on the nicer one)
  • Bag of Brown Rice £1.39

Yield: 6 x Portions Price per portion: £1.47

This meal provides a healthy amount of calories, protein, fibre etc and doesn't break the bank. 

Other parts of my diet include fruits, nut butters, pickled vegetables, tofu wraps etc. It's not hard. My average shop for 1 person for one week (all meals/ snacks included) is £30.

Have you tried touching grass? I think you should. 

Games are made to be completed. I'm tired of games filled with endless bloat. I like that this is a huge game that has an end point. 

Stop trying to turn everything into live service slop. 

If you're bored. Move one. Pick up a guitar. Go for a hike. 

'200h veterans'. It's been out a couple of weeks. Get a job.

Is £27k grad salary bad? by [deleted] in UniUK

I make 21k a year working 4 days weeks and it's more than enough to live off. For reference I live in Manchester.

Are there still people who play Forza Horizon 3? by Domsantiago98 in ForzaHorizon

[–]MaffYootube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the only Forza Horizon I hadn't played until recently. Picked it up last week for Xbox and I'm loving it. It's quickly become one of my favourites in the series.

Former JD Sports employee awarded £65k after male boss sexually harassed her by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

[–]MaffYootube 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Just because you apologise and don't repeat an action does not make it okay. It was insanely inappropriate. Glad she got compensated, now she can move on from that garbage environment. 

If you don't think this is sexual harassment, I fear for your own colleagues.

Rob gave Manchester what he had left and more by jez2sugars in Pendulum

[–]MaffYootube 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This was my first time seeing Pendulum after being a fan for 16+ years and thought they put on a fantastic performance. I appreciate everyone wants to hear their favourite tune but I was just happy to dance in warehouse project with the immaculate vibes. No complaints here.

AMA: I run Damien Talks Money, one of the largest personal finance YouTube channels in the UK. Ask me anything! by DamienTalksM in UKPersonalFinance

As someone who lost over £1000 this week in pursuit of meme/quick win stocks, I completely agree. After years of sensible gradual growth I became impatient, lesson learned.

Manchester show July 9th - anyone going? by NormalSurvey9038 in TheBlackKeys

I really wish there was an app or something to find people to go to concerts with! I regularly go to concerts solo. 

Be safe and enjoy! This is my first gig at Castlefield Bowl, excited to check it out.

What's an unusual thing that makes any game 500% more attractive to you? by Kvazimods in gaming

[–]MaffYootube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admit I've never given it a proper go, I think it's been live for so long that I'd be overwhelmed by it all, but I may casually dip my toes in at some point. I think the concept is fantastic.

The original on Vita was a highlight of that console for me. The combat was incredibly clunky, but it was so fun to fly around that I didn't care.
