For all the homies surviving on instant ramen: stuff like Spam, cheap gyoza/mandoo/shumai, and/or eggs can greatly help in making sure you get some cheap protein.

For homies surviving on instant ramen AND don’t want to die early, consider adding frozen veggies to this list. Otherwise, good tip!

Unless you’re literally starving to death, spam never has a positive impact on your diet. It’s basically just salt, gelatin, and connective tissue scraped off the bone. Adding extreme quantities of salt to an item that already has extreme quantities of salt is awful nutritional advice, no matter how small the budget.

But salt has the electrolytes the body craves!

I’m poor and I sweat so much at my manual labour job that I get weak from the amount of electrolytes I have sweat out. Spam has the appropriate amount of salt for my poverty level. Gatorade is so far above my price level. Salt added to water gets me through the day.

It is, but if that’s all you can afford to eat sometimes….

Also, dunno if they sell it on the mainland, but you can get less salty Spam so it’s less shit for your health. It’s also amazing in a musubi and can be pretty cheap since all you need is Spam, rice, and nori. Maybe add a little shoyu for flavor.

Yeah, whenever COVID hit we got even busier. People quit and we were understaffed, it was horrible. Didn’t get a cent more and not so much as a thank you. Not to mention customers were outrageous at the time, with the whole mask stuff. Like dude I just work here, I couldn’t give two shits about your beliefs and politics, I just want to have a decent day and get paid for it.

“Hey, stay home and if you go out, wear a mask.”

NO! I’m going to go out and berrate a minimum wage employee for shit out of their control!”

I sort of understand, I was assaulted because I didn’t care about someone’s opinion on masks. He was pissed I was wearing a mask, so logically he sucker-punched me with a roll of nickels and ran. The irony being I was actually being polite at the time, I’m getting too old for this shit lol.

Oof, he’s only on Instagram and Twitter… I guess I won’t check him out.

(I’m interested in the comic, not a modern day radio show.)

As an essential worker during COVID, I got paid ok, but no more than those sent home for the duration until they bought the tech to let us work from home
