I need help figuring out how to eat beans....

Hi everyone, my first time posting here. I'm a 25 yr old loser with ADHD, depression, and a fairly tight budget. And, of course, I am a picky eater.

Here's the thing. I do not have the energy to cook. I don't have the energy to prep the food, make the food, and I definitely don't have the energy to clean all of the dishes afterwards. I know I need to put in more effort to eat healthy than I am currently, because nearly all of my food is processed in some way. But buying fresh produce is ridiculously, prohibitively expensive, and it goes bad before I can use all of it, if I can push past the executive dysfunction long enough to cook with it at all!

Enter the food known as beans. Beans have a great shelf life/will last way longer than fresh produce and they have a ton of nutritional value. They would be great to incorporate into my diet. The problem with beans is that they are a sensory NIGHTMARE for me. They are gritty and mushy and I'm sensitive enough to the texture that it bothers me even when it's mixed with other foods (ie in a burrito or a pasta/rice dish with other veggies). They are UNBEARABLE. So I wanted to reach out here hoping someone might have recipes or tips on how to incorporate beans into my diet in a way that is tolerable for me. Can they be blended up/pureed and put inside a sauce, perhaps? Is there any way to consume beans without having to deal with that awful, awful texture?

Thank you kindly for anyone who takes the time to help me out. <3

ETA: Thought of another question....I know there are many kinds of beans. Are some beans more tolerable than others?? Is it about the type of bean itself or the way that the bean is cooked that gives it that texture?

ULPT Request/Question: Creating a new Internet account for promo rates?

Hey all, this is my first time posting here, hope this flair is accurate as it has to do with Internet service.

I currently pay $115/month for a 600 mbps Internet service. The service provider I am with is offering a promotional rate of $50/month for 1000 mbps Internet service, which is less than half my current payment for nearly double the Internet speed. (The non-promotional cost of the 1000 mbps Internet is shown as $70).

I "spoke" to a "customer representative" on their support chat and it stated that the $50/month or $70/month rate is only a promotional rate for new people choosing this Internet provider. It said that after the first year the rate for the 1000 mbps service goes up to $105/month.

So, hypothetically.....should I avoid shutting down my account and opening a new one with the $50 rate, and continuing to repeat that process every year once they try to raise my rate again? Because that sounds like a terrible way of getting better Internet for significantly less cost...which obviously no one wants to do.

Thanks to all in advance, signed a very broke gamer.

Gearing up for my first boss fight in ASA, have some questions!

Hi everyone, as the title says, I am approaching my first boss fights since switching to ASA! I am exclusively singleplayer but use max difficulty settings. I used 19 Rexes + 1 Yuty in ASE, but I've heard the dragon is BRUTAL in ASA so I'm switching to Theris. My question is, is 19 Theris + 1 Yuty the way to go? Should I consider including something else like a Deinotherium, Deinosuchus, Daedon, or even Acro?? (Again keeping in mind I am singleplayer only, not sure how that effects Deinotherium buffing).

Grinding out the honey for all these veggie cakes is going to take me quite a while so please give me your opinions in the comments so I can read while I work! Thanks so much!

Explain to me like I'm dumb...how are tickets on sale already?

Literally what the title says. I see people saying general admission tickets are likely only going to be ~$40 USD and the DNP website clearly states that ticket sales start on Friday but I see numerous websites already selling (seemingly standard, non-VIP) tickets for like $280 USD?? And saying tickets are nearly sold out? Are those a scam or like?? What is going on 💀

I really can't figure out if this is against the rules of this sub or not. Figured I'd try. I'm not interested in being "talked out" of my decision. I am going to kill myself. I am a spiritual person and waiting for a specific "sign" from the universe that it is time to go. It will likely arrive sometime within the next 6 months. Until then, I want to exist as a zombie. I do not want to feel. I do not want to think. I want to be present for as little of my life as humanly possible. I used to take like 8 Advil at a time when I was doing poorly and it felt like it numbed me up but to be honest that might've just been a placebo effect. What do you think? What would be better? Just wondering what options are out there. Thank you.
