Depending on the size of the family, I know a foreign concept, I could see four hours in total including prep/cooking/serving/cleaning; not the norm though.


That's an interesting perspective, I don't think it is a bad one either. It's a mental game, when I was still working full time, I had to force myself to cook for about a month before it became just part of the extended, "work day". Only vegging out once I got the meal in my hand. I used to poo poo meal prepping, but it really is kind of handy to have a complete meal ready to get thrown into a pan. Not to mention canning/jarring your own soups! Done that when I had very limited budget. 20 bucks of resources could easily feed me for a couple weeks, the problem was the time investment. But if folks want something enough, they'll find a way.
A proper household should have 6 months of canned/jarred and other dry food stocks. It's one of those things women have failed our country on that might never matter or might result in millions lost to fammine one day.
 
What's wrong with super-basic? Most families only did fancy meals on Sundays, and incorporated the leftovers into basic meals for the rest of the week. The most basic meal is still fresher and more nutritious than fast food slop.

I can whack out a ribeye, baked potato, and corn on the cob in half an hour. The only prep is preheating the oven.

You are mentally disabled. Why has your mongoloid handler let you into this thread?

Fat fingers typed this post.

lmao I dont understand why people are disagreeing with you, 3 hours would be closer, 1 hour per meal, but genuinely if you want to cook a wholesome hot meal its at least 1 hour of prep and cook and clean per meal EASILY, maybe you cut it down by preping earlier in the week or ignoring cleaning but that time still counts.

Most people who get home after a long day of work on a hasty breakfast and minimal lunch dont have the energy to put together a complex meal and just opt for the easy route

Is this right? absoloutley not, is this good? same response. But its the reality for alot of hard working not super bright people and should be addressed, what he is getting at is why hunters/gatherers were 2 separate jobs 35,000 years ago, one person gets the shit, the other person is preparing the shit, simple as, then we went and fucked up the whole system.

This is legitimately the most retarded take I’ve read on this website, and that’s saying something.
Do you subsist solely on a diet of Beef Wellington or something where you need four hours a day to prepare food?

Turn off the tv and put down your phone. You'll be surprised by the amount of time you actually have.
That's all dependant on your personal situation. Back when I lived alone I had no issues with meal prep, I had like a massive 14 quart instant pot I could throw chicken into then use the juices to make rice and make a whole bunch of freezer containers with peas that I just pop in the microwave. When I was doing my hardcore dieting I just had canned tuna straight out of the can with a little bit of lemon pepper.

I'm no longer living on my own, and food has gotten so expensive that you have to hunt for whatever is on sale that meets diatery restrictions and make do with what you find. It's next to impossible to plan a meal when you don't get home until 5 or 6 and are so wiped you can barely stand. And if you have to get up really early the next day you don't always have that much time in the evening every evening to prepare a crock pot. I do try but some weeks are especially shitty and the improv meals are not great.
 
to prepare a crock pot.
There are such a thing as "dump-and-go" crock pot recipes. Throw the ingredients in, turn in on low, and in 5-7 hours you have dinner. You can even sort out the ingredients before to make organization better. Pressure cookers are also an option: throw food in, get dinner in 35 minutes.
 
Carriers are useless, which is why China is spending billions to develop carriers with parity to the US?

They need Carriers to attack countries well within their land based air force range? Including a country they share a disputed land border with?
When did I say carriers are useless? They are a power projection platform. China wants to project power. Against a peer you cant bully who can shoot down the planes it sends out its value becomes in question. The issue is thats its really easy to mission kill a carrier. Just fuck up its deck.

If you want to do a naval battle against another naval fleet. Dollar for dollar you can probably spend less money for smaller ships and beat the carrier fleet. Probably because a real naval battle is almost out of living memory and no one actively serving in any navy has really been in one.

Chinese doctrine to beat America in the Chinese seas is not going to be sending their carrier group to duel the American one.

India is a large country. Being able to put a carrier group in the Indian ocean to project power over their shipping lanes is pretty important yes.
 
so you're telling me the jews have been following the old testament all along!? do they know this!?
One of the primary lessons of the Old Testament is that the Jews continually fuck themselves over and are the cause of their own destruction. Deuteronomy 12:8 in the instructions to the Israelites from Moses, for example, says “You are not to do as we do here today, everyone doing as they see fit.” Now how does the book of Judges, which immediately follows the death of Joshua after the occupation of Canaan, talk about the conduct of the Jews? “In those days, there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Judges 17:6, 21:25.

Pretty much the entire history of the Jews from Adam onward is a set of narratives about Jews fucking up and suffering the consequences. It’s incredibly and depressingly in-line with the Old Testament for Jews to be so responsible for creating the conditions of their own downfall, whether it’s not obeying the word of the Lord by becoming totally irreligious and engaging in degenerate behavior or simply by importing millions of foreigners who end up hating Jews.

Hell, the entire October 7 conundrum of Israel having to respond to abductions and rape and feeling forced to go over the top, resulting in creating a hostile local environment is ripped straight out of the book of Genesis. See Genesis 34. There is literally nothing new under the sun when it comes to Jews fucking up.

Nigga, I bought large costco bag of rice of like, $30 that has lasted me over a year or two. Get some bulk chicken on sale or tofu, maybe like a bag of mini carrots and a bottle of sauce. Bam, you got like 5 million fucking dinners that take like two seconds to make.
 
I'll be fair, from unpacking the groceries to plating the food was an hour and change the other night, the brats had to thaw and I was juggling doing dishes and laundry at the same time
Sure, but do you go to the grocery store daily or do you show for a few days/week at a time? If you're factoring in gorecey unpacking it'll obviously take longer, but, nobody is including that but you. If you make some rice and cook a protein with a veggie at the same time it takes max 20min for most things. Realistically it takes less than that so there's no excuse.
 
Prisons suffer from NIMBYism. Cities with prisons are statistically safer and it does not affect property vallue, but people freak out about it. The same people who complain about overpopulation in prisons will scream and shout against putting a prison in their city.
Cities should let their citizens have access to the available slave labor to do their yard work and help them throw antebellum themed dinner parties.
