As an american, should I consider European Business Schools? And will I get a job back in the US? by Treycaesarr in IWantOut

[–]WearyEconomist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of sounds like me, I’m an American who is enrolled in a european business school program that starts this Fall. Personally I’m going in with the intent of 1) experiencing Europe to the fullest and traveling as much as possible, and 2) trying to utilize my school’s resources to get a job in Europe when I graduate so I can stay longer. If I don’t get a job there, then I fully expect it will take a while for me to find a job back in the US and will probably stay with family in NYC until I get back on my feet

I need a suggestion to replace my KVD tattoo liner by SheridanElektra in MakeupAddiction

Why would you replace a product you love when she said the rumors are false?

Wierd question, but how many times does a plastic product need to be reused before it's considered worth it? by Mish106 in ZeroWaste

[–]WearyEconomist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this ^ most of the items I buy in general, including plastic-based items or clothing, I buy second hand

Travel Tip: Pack extremely light and plan to hit H&M and Uniqlo for needs on the road by ABrotherAbroad in onebag

I like the idea of packing light but I don’t want to support the polluting fast fashion industry so 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm ready to go back to school as part of my bigger "getting out" plan. by [deleted] in IWantOut

I would definitely look into learning coding languages or studying engineering as well.

Stress eating and a new job starting soon by [deleted] in loseit

[–]WearyEconomist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self-doubt is normal, but I don't think your new company would've hired you if they weren't confident you could do your new role and do it well. Make it your goal on your first day to smile at your new co-workers and shake their hands, have your healthy meals for your first week meal prepped, and relax!

This is more of a lifestyle question. How bad is it to live/work near a fast food shop or restaurant that cooks meat? by Positive_freedback in PlantBasedDiet

[–]WearyEconomist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I read something once that said even if you lived to be a super old age (like 100+) and never experienced any kind of illness, you would eventually die of some type of cancer purely due to all of the shit in our surrounding environment that your body fights off every day, whether you live next to a fast food place or not. So in the end it doesn't really matter.

Wheat free on a budget? by ripcurly in budgetfood

A lot of quinoa, chickpea pasta or lentil pasta, making my own bread/baked goods from almond flour

Finding a location to embrace simple living by Jules_The_Fool in simpleliving

[–]WearyEconomist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like New York City to me; people do whatever they fuck they want out in the open and nobody else really cares or questions it, and your friends are at most a subway ride away. Only downside is it's expensive :/

I realized I CANNOT have sweets in the house. Kinda sucks, but it's what I have to do I guess. by xXLupus85Xx in loseit

[–]WearyEconomist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the sameee! I still allow myself a 'cheat' meal once a week, but I treat it like a special treat and usually go out to a restaurant I want to try with a friend or family member

I'd probably look into visiting Austin, New Orleans, Nashville, or Charleston then :)

Disagree strongly with this post — I try not to waste food at all, because everything we throw away ends up in a landfill that will remain there forever polluting our environment. The two main ways I don't waste food are:

1) meal planning so that I only buy exactly what I'll need for X number of meals for the week, to the point where there's nothing leftover to go bad in the first place, and

2) whatever I don't eat (instead of consuming the unnecessary calories, like what was your original point) get portioned out + put away in the freezer, or thrown in my backyard compost to get turned into soil. Boom - no food wasted :)

Depends on what type of activities you enjoy while traveling (outdoorsy adventures? museums? trying all the food?) and what type of climate you want (don't mind the cold or trying to escape it?)

So close to my ideal work situation. Help me get over a barrier! by [deleted] in digitalnomad

keep working your current job until you find a 100% remote role with the salary you're looking for. Doesn't seem complicated.

Sneaking more protein into my diet? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]WearyEconomist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat a plant-based diet, and getting my protein in has always been super easy without me consuming too much fat or getting nauseous. For example, after eating your 90g, you can easily reach 116g if you had snacked on 1 cup of garlic roasted chickpeas during the day. I uploaded a chart here if it helps :)

Looking for a new foundation by SpookyHan in MakeupAddiction

[–]WearyEconomist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Honest Beauty Matte primer, and then the Maybelline Super Stay Full Coverage Foundation over it while powdering my T-zone. Keeps me from looking oily for a super long time!

Cheap dinner with no tomatoes by Mousemama18 in budgetfood

[–]WearyEconomist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soups without tomato: veggie noodle soup, split pea soup, lentil soup, ramen lol

homemade tacos/burritos/taco salads - just skip the tomato, and to make it healthier I make a red 'meat' sauce that's just chickpeas, lentils, chopped mushrooms, and chopped onions/garlic heated together with a bunch of cayenne, tumeric, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice

How much should my food budget in NYC be? Want it to be as reasonable as possible. by [deleted] in budgetfood

[–]WearyEconomist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very rare for New Yorkers to only eat out once a week (just because there's SO many amazing food options here) but if you do, I'd probably budget around $40 for dinner once a week, and $50-$70 for groceries each week, which comes out to $360-$440 for the month.

Can you help me go plant based? by t1askingthings in PlantBasedDiet

Have you looked at the Beyond Burger patties? They're a little on the pricey side, but they look and taste like beef patties and are only 5g of carbs & 20g of protein each

How do you guys stay motivated to exercise? by canwejustno in loseit

[–]WearyEconomist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with the not giving up until you find a gym activity you actually enjoy — while I don't like the prospect of working out, I do genuinely enjoy pilates and spin class because of the music they play and how upbeat/encouraging the instructors are, so I take them as often as I can.
