I still can't believe cooking and cleaning dishes is a thing.

  Cooking is nice, but I will never rent another apartment that doesn't have an automatic dishwasher.

    Whenever I say this to people, they shake their head like I am crazy. I don't care, it's a deal breaker!

      Is this a non-USA thing? Here in the USA the modest apartments I was renting more than 30 years ago had dishwashers. However, I didn't always use the dishwasher because it's hard for one person to generate enough dishes a day to make it worthwhile to run. Especially if frozen food made for microwave heating is a large part of your diet.

  Absolutely. Deciding on and preparing meals is the single biggest regular struggle and unpleasant time sink of my day. I wish I could get Soylent but they're still a bit slow and aren't selling directly to my country so I'd have to go through an importer/smuggler, upping the cost. I know some people like cooking. That's fine for them. I like coding and I do that for fun. No enjoy-cooking-people I know want to write software. Different strokes for different folks. We need to get out of the mindset of some kinds of work being "noble". When I was growing up it was "noble" to clean dishes by hand, repair your house yourself and repair your car yourself. Now that I'm an adult, most people I know have "failed" and are lazily hiring specialists or using machines for those once-noble tasks. And some are very successful in their lives despite that failing! </s>

    >> No enjoy-cooking-people I know want to write software. I enjoy cooking, I enjoy eating what I cook and I write software because I want to. When I think about it, I'm actually a bit sad I can't taste my own code :7
