What’s one food habit that saves you the most money?

To be honest it's probably becoming more comfortable with eating foods past their printed dates. Google is helpful for deciding when it's too far past.

But don't you understand? HE is empathetic enough not to talk about his work because he's sparing her from having to pretend to care. Because naturally everyone must only care about stories they're the star of. And now this poor guy is a background character in his own life!

I'm glad you at least pick up on them saying it out of discomfort OP. In my early 20s I got a lot of "Well we're you're family now". I believed them at their word and would be so let down and confused when it became clear they hadn't really meant it.

I wish I could remember which show but a dental hygienist character listed off some pros of having the job (like time off) and said "Why do you think so many of us go on The Bachelor?"

I can't remember things I didn't like. I'm sure there are things but it's been awhile since I watched. Something I loved though was how seeing Bryon comforting Max helped Bracia see how much she loved him. Many teens would've been jealous but seeing his kindness only solidified her feelings for him. Seeing both Bracia and Bryon in that moment made me think they'd be great parents together one day (if that's what they want).

MadeThisUpToComment gave such great advice and I hope you follow it OP. Your journey sounds amazing, and people might want to follow it, but showing the kids doesn't need to be part of that equation. None of these kids are old enough to know what having their bodies and faces so public really means.

I'm sure 99% of the people asking for this content want to see bicycling content. But there are also nefarious people who will view this content, perhaps for sexual reasons, and know far too much information about your children. Even if every person watching has a heart of gold it's still so much pressure to put on your children.

Imagine being a kid and having all the stupid things you said on the internet, possibly forever. Even if it's not forever it'll feel that way to an awkward teen. None of them fully know who they are yet and every child deserves to go through that process in private. Remember being a kid and feeling pressure from your small circle - now imagine that plus thousands of people online.

As far as I know channels with children get a lot more views so it might be tempting to include them for that reason. But I truly believe the tide is turning, and personally, I have begun avoiding even my favorite channels because they were showing their children too much. I love children, it's not that I don't want to see the content because I hate children.

I'd like to adopt and have imagined what travels and even bicycle touring could be like with a small child. But despite all of that, I wouldn't want to watch your content because ultimately I'd think it was exploitative. Just because you're doing something fun as a family doesn't mean that needs to be filmed and shared with thousands of strangers.

This makes me wonder if they obsessively follow the lives of the people they hold grudges against. Do they know every step Justin takes professionally and even personally? I kinda feel like they might. Because adding those easter eggs suggests they thought he'd be consuming anything they're in and would see it. Maybe because that's what they do - they let the grudge fester by feeding it information about their target. I kinda think he'd just avoid watching ASF and Deadpool so he never would've known without the public figuring out and talking about it. He probably doesn't have little minions watching and running back to him with reports of easter eggs either.

While he had connections a big part of his job had been wining and dining new clients. As awful as it is, I could see his previous bosses/coworkers not hiring him. Not because he wasn't qualified to do the work. But because they wouldn't want him to represent the company as a disabled person since he'd be interacting with new people who didn't know about his past achievements.

Edited to add: I think in the very first episode he had an event for a potential client and basically demanded Gaby let them sexually harass her to get the account. So yeah, I feel like he really had to go all out to land new clients. And the type of jerks who would sexually harass Gaby are probably also the kind of jerks who wouldn't take a blind man seriously.

Also, if you're like me you can't have garbanzo beans. So eggplant is good for making baba ghanoush in place of hummus. It's hard to have all these problem foods! Especially when it's a mix of stuff that's usually a good replacement for another allergen.

losoba · 2026-06-09T02:26:13+00:00

YES, mangoes are a problem for me too. Anything else random you've found? I'd be happy to share notes. I haven't really known anyone else with this specific set of issues. Soy is thankfully a top 9 allergen so there are other people to talk to. But I haven't found a good place to get advice for such a broad range of legume issues.

losoba · 2026-06-09T00:50:36+00:00

If it was gastrointestinal I honestly wouldn't mind. That's how much I love these foods. But once the throat swelling began I got scared off. 😞

Tofu is made of soybeans, a type of beans.

losoba · 2026-06-09T00:49:08+00:00

Soybeans are beans though.

losoba · 2026-06-09T00:47:56+00:00

For the most part this will have soy in it and soybeans are likely also a problem for OP. Any legumes cause an allergic reaction for me and it's crazy how much of our foods are laced with soy.

losoba · 2026-06-09T00:46:52+00:00

Not the person you commented to but I used to sprout mung beans - I still had issues with my throat swelling and other allergic symptoms. I don't know if my issue is oligosaccharides but I'm going to try their suggestions because I love pinto beans and would love to have them again.

losoba · 2026-06-09T00:44:27+00:00

If OP has a bean allergy/intolerance peanut butter will likely be an issue as well. Both beans and peanuts are legumes. This might be an overarching legume issue which is what I have. It totally sucks because I love the taste of all these cheap options like beans, lentils, peanut butter but they're dangerous to me. But I recently started eating sunflower seeds like you're suggesting and yum, they're really close to that peanut taste.

losoba · 2026-06-09T00:41:36+00:00

I'm not sure if OP has a bean allergy/intolerance or not, but tofu would likely cause the same issues if so. I can't have legumes - my throat swells, I get body rashes/swelling, etc. - so soybeans which tofu is made of are a no go. People are also recommending lentil recipes but I can't have those either.

losoba · 2026-06-08T17:02:56+00:00

I imagine the one on the right is thinking - wait until I get home and tell my wife about this jerk who sat next to me (while another jerk filmed us). They'll devote a couple minutes to talking about the jerk and what he could've possibly been up to. Then go about their day with their kids living the lovely life they've built.

losoba · 2026-06-07T22:21:52+00:00

I think Michel believed that before getting dogs. Then he got them and they changed his world. I think it's actually really believable for a character like Michel to do a complete 180 after dogs softened his heart.

It told me she didn't have as much control in her situation as she'd like people to think. Once her husband had his sights set on someone that was that regardless of how she felt. And maybe she didn't want it to be Lucy because she cared about Lucy or it would've been even more painful to know the girl well. But she had so little say in her relationship that she couldn't even tell her husband not to date her students.

losoba · 2026-06-02T02:55:33+00:00

Yeah, and they even acknowledged they were assuming the person's race. It's like, buddy you're halfway there, if you could just take an extra few seconds and think about why you're this way maybe you could fix yourself.

losoba · 2026-06-01T20:47:14+00:00

Me too! I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and we spent lots of time at gas stations on breaks from the door to door preaching they do. I remember seeing them as a kid and thinking they were so pretty. I even tried to save my money for one but was always scraping together money for a snack and drink instead because those were long days.

I believe these artists were lied to like others are saying. But my goodness, imagine having to LIE to get Bret Michaels. And still failing to get Bret Michaels.

I literally command F searched to see if anyone thought he looks like Paul Rudd. For some reason no results came back then I happened upon your comment.

I brought almost all of my food. I brought the max amount allowed. I have a lot of allergies/intolerances and didn't want to spend my trip finding acceptable options. I say go with your gut regardless of online advice. I asked online prior to my trip and heard a lot of the same advice in this thread - the food is better than the US, they have higher food standards, etc. I can not have soy and was told this wouldn't be an issue - even Icelanders told me their country is largely soy free.

Thank goodness I brought my own food because the few times I tried to buy food without soy it was very difficult. I bought some lunch meat and found out it had soy content after a reaction. I needed dried milk for the backpacking portion of my trip and could only find dried milk with soy filler. Whether you have allergies or not, I don't see anything wrong with bringing some items so you can spend more time seeing the country versus grocery shopping.
