I’m not vegan because I’m not super strict but I’m a very plant based person and sorry but most Beyond products are gross with a gross texture and taste, a few of the products are ok. Most people I know who live like I do don’t really eat many meat substitutes. I treat meat like a rare treat and would always choose to rarely eat meat (no red meat for me ever though) than to eat Beyond products on a more regular basis.
It’s really really not, even from a resources perspective.
I think A LOT of people are completely unaware.
There’s an entire subset of people who essentially create their own reality and anything that contradicts it is immediately rejected, completely at a subconscious level, so the idea of questioning doesn’t even cross their minds.
I’m in Washington, Washington is 3,000 miles away ☹️
I used to feel this way until I spent time in Corsica, it’s practically their official food and they know how to use it.
Eggplant I cook however? Yeah overrated
It’s just expensive escargot
I’ve only ever had to do this for a vibrator
I’m an atheist with very bad PTSD from spending 6 months in ICU and having a near death experience while getting a double lung transplant. I dont necessarily struggle with depression the way you do but my PTSD tells me to isolate and I fell in deep. I ended up joining a universalist Unitarian church, again, I’m an atheist but UU isn’t about religion, its about community and service and everyone there is default nice and practices “radical hospitality” - it’s not necessarily a place to ask people out but just a way to dip your toes back into life safely, I think jumping to asking people out is probably part of the issue for you, that’s HUGE and small social steps are what’s needed.
Joining a positive real life community has done wonders for my isolation and UU churches are global, it’s historical covenant is “Love is the spirit of this church, and service is its law. This is our great covenant: to dwell together in peace, to seek the truth in freedom, and to help one another.” might be worth looking into
“Motivation is not required”
If you’re not willing to explain it’s because you know your hot take is shit and you’re too weak and insecure to handle a challenge
Plants need direct light to grow… most need full sun. Personally all the solar farms I’ve seen just “grow” grass and everything is kept trimmed down to not cast shade on the panels. Putting the panels up higher would still cast any plants grown in deep shade. I think putting them in places deep shade is needed/wanted on the ground makes sense and because cities tend to be hotter due to paving using solar panels to cast shade would help lower the temps in cities, lowering power usage on things like AC. I think integrating solar into urban landscapes is the future
A one person revolution is called suicide by cop
It’s always been 90% grifters. Survivorship bias
When you need two weeks and two people to do the work of dozens over the course of months the number will never recover. My son got a CS degree just before AI exploded and I think it was a terrible choice and a huge waste of time and money, thankfully he did land a job and I hope he can cash out and go be trained for a sustainable career before too long
As a “fuck the system this is blatantly discriminatory” type of kid I never had this experience
It’s dehumanizing, literally
This is what I always told my kids. Basically no job on earth gives a fuck about your highschool grades a lot don’t even care about your college grades, they only care if you got the degree so why worry about it? Apply yourself, get results that reflect personal growth and call it done. I’m not raising worker bees
This is why parents/society non stop deep throating the idea that grades are everything is so toxic. Being good at school doesn’t even automatically mean a person is intelligent just that they have the specific skills that specific school is looking for it’s not a reflection of their overall intellect.
Don’t give grades, if the student has significant growth that’s all that matters, pass or not pass, at least in k - 12
Running those things costs money, there’s no money to be made finding lost old people or kidnapped children, tracking everyone and collecting data however…
