Judging from the continued conversation and he "liked" my post I think he is self aware of it. I have people in my life also on the spectrum who, with a bit of accommodation are just fine. And excellent contributors to society.
Eating out Toronto, Consistent Disappointment

Redefine "mental disorder" to "on the spectrum", add a dose of empathy as its easy to work within, understand given the right placement they can really give back to society in STEM ways and maybe you see the positive side.
Not all induviduals fit. But isn't part of the definition of freedom helping those to find theirs who need it?
You have no idea what you're talking about buddy. The above quote is the biggest giveaway.
Water is a 0 calorie liquid. NO ENERGY.
You have to ADD THINGS to water, things like sugar, oil, cream, blended vegetables, or whatever your desire, cook it, and create a liquid called Curry. Curry has Calories.
Salad King does NOT serve a curry, when you order a curry. They're cheating customers. They serve brown water.
There are reviews from OTHER people, NOT Me (Maybe I could be retarded right, always a possibility, so see what others say) complaining about the same thing.
This is the point of this thread. When you go out to eat sometimes in Toronto, and try new places, you get CHEATED. Either portions are weak, or food is garbage.
Buter1000: I liked your post wishing me good luck on finding something decent (other than Subways, boring AF). Not agreeing with being on the spectrum. Hunger is no joke. Losing weight unintentionally or sleep is no joke. Just because someone's new to town and can't figure it out yet doesn't mean one's on the spectrum. That's a poor, despicable judgement on your part.

You may want to consider testing. And its not despicable. Its empathetic.
You aren't being cheated at food restaurants. You just don't like the food. And there is nothing wrong with that. But seriously your use of language, repeating yourself, and different take on whats important in food, coupled with odd comparisons of tray size with calories(a tray of pasta vs salad are two completely different things) and fixations on things are definite tells to being on the spectrum.
I have friends, being in geek culture, who act the same, albet about different things. And there is nothing wrong with it. And when they tested it helped them understand their frustrations so much better and made them happier people. And thats what counted.
The lights going down after a meal on an airline means it satisfied people makes no sense.
Airline food is 400 calories, half of what you said you needed.
Unlike a pad thai at Salad King, where it is about 1100 calories.
That you like different food from different places is fine, it just doesn't seem to have anything to do with caloric content. It is some mix of the flavor and fat content satisfying you and the illusion of how much you got on the plate.
Chill man. Go eat some real food that's not from a food court because you're blood sugar is off. I already gave you a number of good options if you care to try them. I get it that you don't like Salad King and a million other places, but they serve their food with rice, vegetables, salt and a bunch of other things. All of which have calories. Maybe your super sensitive (and I'm not saying that to be insulting) body doesn't recognize them, but that doesn't mean they aren't there at all. Besides, if they were really cheating people with their food, they would not have survived so many decades and through a pandemic.
Since you said you hate cooking, then you likely haven't been in a grocery store in a long time. If you did, you would know that the food prices have gone up like crazy in the last few months. I'm not defending lousy restaurants, but it's a shit business in the best of times. All of them were decimated during the pandemic and now they have short staff and high food prices. All of that gets passed on to customers.
Hunger is definitely not a joke and too many people in this city are dealing with it. You are not one of those people though. You just happen to have very specific expectations on how food should taste and fill you.

I love Thai Food. I goto Thai Express and other ones and I'm pretty happy. Salad King is also Thai food and they serve the exact same dishes. They are completely different as one can sense from the very first bite. Yes, some restaurants are cheating people by cutting ingredients to make a buck. Why is that so hard to accept? If you think it's me, then what about all the reviews from other people complaining about the same thing? Some restaurants aren't simply as good as others.
Just like not all escorts are the same. Or all car dealers, laundromats, plumbers, engineers, or doctors. Restaurants vary too. Cheating can occur and happens in all walks of life. You not understanding this shows how you yourself might be on the spectrum.
Its not "cheating". Its just the way they make it. I love sushi. And have discovered quality varies greatly. But I don't think they are cheating. They just aren't as good to me.
Its nothing personal. Its business. That's what you can't seem to get your head around.
Which has a cost. Razor-thin profit industry, very tempted to cut a x% of food/ingredient to make a buck. Something you wouldn't understand because everything is related to mental health and nothing to do varying quality levels of a business. Are all SPs the same too? Or if one is a flop, it's the client fault, mental illness?
Yes, of course there is a cost. Your business. But that isn't "cheating"..
Your #1 complaint was about portion sizing. But especially in NA and chains that is the core business aspect. Each dish has exact premeasured ingredients prepared the same way so they set a specific profit margin and maintain it. Thats why you can't fund your food by weight in variety. It guarantees food wastage and less profit.
Then you have it appears very specific tastes as well. Anything else is "cardboard"
So really you are searching for unicorns.
No different that a dude listing exact height, weight hair, eye cor. Nose shape, boob shape, ass shape, with a specific hair style and length, foot size, waist size, hip size, octave of voice, accent and from a specific place in the world for an SP.
Seriously if you aren't a bit on the spectrum then you are just stupidly picky and maybe the mockery is deserved.
Your ignorance is overwhelming. Dish X from a specific place is definitely not the same as the same Dish X on paper from another place. Like Thai Fried Rice from Thai Ex vs Salad King. Eons different. Domino's is definitely not the same as Pizza Pizza, though significantly less divergent. Rudy's burger is definitely not the same as a McDonald's burger. Neither are portion sizes at the different places. There are different grades of the same food type. Cheating, chef mistakes and cardboard food does exist. You attribute it to my taste but ignore all the reviews I pointed out. Every restaurant must be flawless in your autistic world and critiquing the hit and miss nature of some specific places should be off limits. Outside of your world, restaurant reviews and ratings do exist. Like the Michelin star system for the higher end places. But Michelin organization must be on the spectrum too. How dare they rate different restaurants.
Yes, all business have costs. Yes, the food business has a razor thin profit margin especailly for the independant ones. The pandemic and increasing costs on everything have put huge constraints on them. Business aren't "tempted" to cut x% on food, ingredients, etc to make a buck. They HAVE to make a buck or they go out of business. Tha's' not a conspiracy. Some places can manage to keep their quality fairly high despite these costs, but that's very difficult. You can only charge so much before people stop coming to the restaurant.
How does everything relate to mental health exaclty? What does that have to do with running a business?
All SP's are obviously not all the same. But they are all in business be they part time or full time. They have costs like renting a room (using their own place has costs too), advertising, photos, clothing, etc.
They stil have to bring in enough revenue to cover those costs and then some. Only difference between SP's and other professions or traditional busineses is that they can walk at any time because there's likely no long-term lease on a place.
Someone would have to be totally incompetent if they're unable to make enough money to as an SP.
Pretty sure he was referring to the food from a single restaurant. Even if we're talking about comparing two different Thai restaurants: one in a food court and the other a sit-down, the challenges are still the same. The number of ingredients, portion sizes and wastage / spoilage has to be carefully managed.
So that ain't ignorance, it's the reality of operating a business.
How is thread even still going??? Quite possibly one of the dumbest threads I've scene on here....lol.
Let the guy count his grains of rice and french fries and lets move on...lol.

I mean, there are countless ridiculous threads from she who shall not be named (mostly because I don't know what her name is this week) that go on and on forever so, par for the course?
