Yeah, it’s frustrating to say the least.
If I went vegan I’d probably suffer a very slow, agonizing death from my brain going haywire and seize until I go into psychosis and die. If my body could take it I’d probably be a vegetarian and eat only local eggs and cheese, but it’s a bad idea according to my doctor. It sucks.
Absolutely! I’m hoping it’s available soon since it’s more ethical than my current options.
Edit - missed the human part lmao. I would probably try it if it hurt no one and was offered to me
I’m aware of some vegans stances being against having pets, but if people are feeding their cats and dogs a vegan diet at least some portion of vegans aren’t against it.
For folks who want pets who are also vegan they should choose a species compatible with that instead of forcing it on an animal who’s biology isn’t going to thrive under those conditions.
I’m really hoping that lab grown meat will be available soon. I have a weird genetic issue where my body doesn’t like to absorb certain vitamins from food so I get basically nothing from raw veggies, negligible amounts from cooked veggies, and a tiny bit more from meat, eggs and dairy.
I take prescription vitamins, but according to my Dr I need to eat meat/animal products with them or risk going into a deficiency again… the last time I was deficient I had seizures and serious neurological issues.
I hate the meat industry and factory farming, but also want my brain to function and to not have seizures.
Lab grown meat will solve this dilemma for me.
There are plenty of vegan friendly pets to choose from too. Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, pygmy goats ect. If they are willing to accept insectivorous animals that list gets longer.
Why choose a pet like a cat if their diet is a philosophical problem for them? Choose a different animal.
The optimist in me wants to think that maybe one of those viruses can be used to cure some other diseases via genetic modification.
The pessimistic part of me wonders if this will be the start of a pandemic cycle that never ends until most people are dead.
I want it to be the first one please.
This is why I’ll probably never travel unless I can take a boat or something. Crying babies aggravate my misophonia to such a severe degree that I will do everything in my power to not be trapped in a small space with even one(no i dont have children.)
So airplanes are a no go. Basically anywhere else I can remove myself. But in a plane you’re stuck. I know babies can’t help crying, and I can’t help my reaction, but I can also choose to not get on a plane. Babies go where their adult takes them.
If I can logically parse out that airplanes aren’t a mode of transit I can tolerate maybe others should do the same. Then maybe kids won’t get locked in freaking bathrooms over this shit.
I dont get how the surgeon thought this was okay. When I have a regular check up I have to give permission for a student doctor to simply sit in on my appointment.
Having a 13 year old drill a hole in your head is waaay beyond that. I hope that doctor has their liscence revoked. They clearly don’t give a single fuck about their patients.
I awhile back I saw an eagle eating roadkill and as my car approached, it grabbed the carcass it was eating and flew off into a field with it a few feet, dropped it, and sat down to start eating it again.
Had no idea eagles ate carrion. I figured that one was just young or something and having a hard time hunting, but I guess not?
Depending on location, it’s too freaking hot to be doing yard work anytime past 11 in the summer months. 9 - 11am is usually when I get my shit done.
Then again, with my neighbors have a similar work schedule to me, so I guess I’m not bothering anyone.
My uncle’s parrot he had for a really long time died because he put up some kind of new shades for his living room that off gassed something deadly to birds.
He knew about not using Teflon but not about window shades, or uv resistant plastic products off gassing being hazardous. He was devastated. Some of the shit sold to us is genuinely toxic. It’s really messed up when you think about it.
Ark survival evolved is something my husband and I enjoy playing together that’s quite fun. The base building and dino taming together is very enjoyable if you’re on a private server.
If you give this one a try, make sure whoever is hosting sets their server to private and invites the other person via steam. Otherwise you might get randos.
JK Rowling is two K’s short of a klan.
I’d love to see these laws work against her and her followers. Terfs are just as misogynistic as Tater Tot, it just looks different.
“Oh no, we might be mistaken for trans, ban all trans women.” - Terfs.
It’s no different than homophonic men being afraid of being mistaken as gay. It’s immature and pathetic.
I guess it’s a matter of who is interpreting and applying the law though. Which sucks.
Thanks for the suggestions! We’ve played valheim so we’ll have to revisit it and check out the rest of the list!
Thank you for the suggestion! We’ll definitely check it out!
I just want to play games with my husband. We have two games we play together off an on. 7 days to die and Ark Survival Evolved.
They’re the two that we can make a private server and the gameplay together is actually fun. Wish more games like that would happen.
I wrote this on another post about this topic, but i think it’s worth repeating.
The women of India formed the Gulabi Gang because this problem has gotten that bad.
If you read interviews with their founder it’s really upsetting just how common rape and domestic violence are in India and how little law enforcement cares.
I think it’s more helpful to listen to women who live in India who have experienced this sort of violence. I think it’s better to be informed on their reality rather than speculating on the situation as foreigners.
It’s all good! I still keep my favorites inside, it’s just the bigger ones that live outside.
Plus, I have the goal of an all quartz garden border now. It’ll be satisfying when I finish it!
Since I learned I can keep my rock collection(nothing special, just common rocks)outside in the form of garden borders I think I’ve become less of a garbage goblin?
Dude, I 100% get what your saying.
Unfortunately what your asking of people requires personal sacrifice, and people will mentally go all over the place to resist that.
A personal anecdotes is that I’m no longer in contact with my family because I refused to see my racist grandfather on his deathbed and didn’t attend his funeral.
My grandfather was an abusive, literal stereotype of a racist(would say things like “them n-words down the road are fucking up this town”) and a raging alcoholic. The world is better because he’s fucking dead. Now I don’t have a family of origin because I wouldn’t pretend he was a good person.
Men will lose friends and family if they start calling this shit out. It’s hard. You get told to “mind your business” or "it’s just a joke " or get your masculinity questioned. Or the whole “but they’re family” thing. I get why people resist it. No one wants to lose their social support, but often that’s what it comes down to, and they’ll make it feel like you’re the one who’s in the wrong the whole time.
Social pressure is a hell of a thing. I think framing the context around why men don’t call this stuff out will help them recognize why they should.
