How do you convince older family members who strictly only want to eat one type of cuisine and never want to venture out of their food comfort zone to try new things

What's older? If we're talking about people in their 70s or above, just leave them alone. You're wasting energy if they're not already open-minded.

Variety of ranges. Yeah sometimes I feel like I should just let them be. But they always bring up wanting to try new things but once it’s time they’re against it.

Maybe do little tastings of something different together with their regular meal to see how they react?

Yeah that’s a good idea. Like treat it like an appetizer or side dish to their usual meal.

Wait till they're really hungry then offer the new food as a sample for a quick taste.

Haha I somehow imagined this like I’m purposefully starving them.

AITA: My friend keeps asking me for financial advice. I set up a budget for her and have her concrete advice. And I field all of her investing questions. But still, she continues to be reckless with her money. She’s 42, single (no kids), and making $100k+ and is still living check to check.

I don’t want to waste my breathe on helping her since nothing seems to be getting through to her. AITA?

After 4 years I want to leave law because of my adhd! I have been to 4 different firms and at each place I feel like I have been “found out”.

Sitting at a desk all day in word documents is the ultimate form of torture to me. My strengths are talking to people. I am super outgoing. Looking for a new career
