Going to the gym... I know it's good for me, I know I should be going but I can't help but feel that I'm wasting my money, only to be doing something less productive that I don't really enjoy doing...
Also watching shows, ik one-piece is probably good, I'm not watching 1000 episodes of anything, no matter how good it is
IPA beers. Most of my friends like them but despite all the different IPAs Ive tried, not a single one of them was particularly enjoyable to drink.
Tropical fruits like mangos, pineapples, and coconut (not a fruit i know). They look and smell good and other people really like them but I can't stand the taste
Waking up to a new day.
Vegetables. And fruit. They're obviously very healthy - essential even. I have them in almost every meal, but I hate the taste of all of them. Apart from potatoes I suppose, but all the others.
I don’t know if this is of any help, but herbs when cooking things like broccoli in the microwave works wonders. Also: if you pan fry zucchini or paprika, use butter or olive oil, or even roasted sesame oil, and give it some nice dark spots.
Pickles. I love fermenting things (beer, bread, yogurt, cheese, jalapeños) but cucumbers are gross in any form.
Pickles is what I came to say. My exception is that I don't mind cucumbers at all. I love vinegar and haven't met a seasoning or herb I didn't like. Except the combinations used in pickled cucumbers.
I ferment and pickle my own other vegetables. I should love pickled cucumbers. I'm not a picky eater. I eat bizarre stuff from around the world. But pickles is the one food that just shuts everything down immediately.
Mushrooms.
Whiskey. I can be pretentious about good beer, bread, chocolate or coffee, but I’ve just never tasted a difference between whiskeys. Granted I haven’t made too serious an attempt but it Hardly seems worth it. How can I finish becoming a snob if I don’t like good whiskey?
Tomatoes. I like all kinds of things made from tomatoes but cannot stand them in their original form. I try them from time to time, big ones, little ones, all kinds, just to see if my tastes have changed, but so far nope. It’s especially odd because it don’t feel this way about any other kind of fruit or vegetables.
Engineering. Programming. Any kind of field with good jobs or stability.
I don't know how to articulate it properly, but I can't care about anything that is human-focused. I tried engineering and it made me extremely uncomfortable; like my soul broke apart and got put back together in the wrong way. Doomed to be a poor af zoologist/plant biologist :(
As a failed (not really, but academically) engineer who is only comfortable around non-humans I find this very relatable. But is it more the human contact or the human contact with engineers in specific or the technology that gives you soul damage?
I actually love tech, but I also think a lot of modern tech is overkill and shouldn't exist, and I can't get excited about modern gadgetry anymore.
Money. When it comes to motivation when job searching, it's probably one of the last things in my priority list. Not really motivated by it, it's just that I value ease of travel, environment, hours, stress amount (or lack there of) way more, and I probably could achieve more and grow more as a person if I was after positions that offered more money. As things are right now, however, I'm completely fine just taking it easy.
Exercise in all forms
Its boring and tedious.
Strength training?
Life up that heavy thing. Great. Now put it back. Repeat 9 times.
Its nice for people who enjoy it. I find it to be .. literally the most pointless thing you can spend your time doing.
Math and by extension programming. It makes sense. Then I fill in the numbers, it enters my brain and then just goes to a garbled mess. I get lost in a for loop. WTF...
One of my best friends has a strong Japanese accent, the other has a strong lisp, and I'm still not used to either one, and I feel guilty for it.
I live by the ocean and sea food is disgusting to me. I see people fishing all the time and I know they're eating good. That smell is such a turn off.
Peanut butter. Somehow, I like peanuts well enough, but I can’t stand peanut butter. It’s literally the only food I avoid, and the only food I had a rough reaction to while pregnant. I’d like to at least not hate it, but I have such a gut reaction to eating it, I don’t see a future I would ever get over it.
Tomatoes. They help with cancer prevention but I just can’t fucking stand them
Regular tomatoes are trash. They’ve been bred to look nice at the expensive of flavor.
Heirloom tomatoes, especially if found fresh and local completely change the experience. The more messed up the type of tomato looks, the better it tastes. You want a purple or yellow melon tumor looking monstrousity, not a nice perfectly shaped red tomato.
