I think you're the rarer case of someone who doesn't have a lot of heavy responsibilities. And that's not bad, but I understand why that saying wouldn't make much sense for you in that context.

Often we have others to care for--kids, parents, other kinds of dependents. And those responsibilities are different from a job. When I leave work, I can forget about it. But my kids don't stop existing when I leave for the office. If I don't do my responsibilities at my job, I might have to find another job. If I don't take care of my kids, they could literally die.

When you have those responsibilities, it's easy to forget to take of yourself, and even easier to forget to do something that you enjoy. There's sometimes guilt associated with it too--spending money on something for me means there's less to spend on my family. And we need to be reminded that it's okay to take care of ourselves too.

In addition, some folks struggle to see themselves in a positive light. There are plenty of reasons, but the result is the same--they neglect themselves. Doing "something nice" for themselves is a way to affirm that they are worth loving, worth being nice to. Even if they have the resources, they might not do the things they like because they don't feel they deserve it. And if they also have heavy responsibilities, it can be a really tough place to be.

That's not to say you can't do something nice for yourself or that it's only limited to those people. Maybe try to think of yourself as a separate person--what would they think is nice? What would make them smile, or otherwise make their day? You may think of something outside of your usual routine that you'd really enjoy. Or maybe it's just reminding yourself that you're great and worth loving.

And if nothing else, when someone tells you to do something nice for yourself, you can say, "thanks, I try to do that every day!"

I'd rather strap my cell phone to my face.

Combination of Red policies and overexposure to the sun is my guess. Some of the people down that way are straight up leathery (and not the good kind).

We know all about blocked paths

Probably because of the high fat content. The fat needs to render properly, which means cooking it more than the meat would otherwise need. If you've ever had a rare steak with a large piece of fat in it, you'll know what that unrendered fat is like.

In addition, the high fat content keeps the meat from being dry, so "overcooking" it doesn't have the same effect as less fatty cuts (this is also why you can slow cook ribs and some other cuts all day, while leaner cuts tend to dry out in a slow cooker).
