A lot of people seem to feel this way. Donāt let it become a tautology, however. Itās your opinion because you think itās correct, NOT itās correct because itās your opinion. For example, plenty of folks justify homophobia because gay people make them feel icky and never examine whether or not their intuition is actually correct. You still have a responsibility to examine your conclusions on a topic and readjust as necessary!
Iāve definitely reduced my intake, I just canāt apply the principle in a strict way. And the āalienatingā comment is just my own experience, Iām glad you didnāt have that issue! This isnāt intended to dissuade anyone from trying to be vegetarian, like I said I think Iām on the wrong side of this. It just personally has been difficult to fully align my moral principles and my actions on this matter.
Fresh baguette, slice lengthwise. Butter both sides with probably way too much salted butter. Slice cornichon pickles really thin, embed them in the butter. Slice a nice cured meat like sopressata or salami and layer it on top of the pickles. Close and eat as much as you can before your rational mind overwhelms you and forces you to eat something healthy instead.
Pretty sure Iām on the wrong side of vegetarianism. I love animals, I think theyāre worthy of love and consideration from us. I know becoming a vegetarian or vegan would reduce harm to animals, and Iām pretty sure itās the morally correct thing to do. Itās also hard, itās alienating, and I know every time Iāve attempted it in the past itās triggered disordered eating.
My current stance is that society should embrace vegetarianism. If the government were to make a law granting animals status that protected them from being killed for food, Iād support that as a moral good. However, Iām not willing to be fully vegetarian in a carnivorous society, there are too many drawbacks. I know this is hypocritical and kinda intellectually pathetic of me but there it is :(
I worked at a pet store in college. There was a really chill baby king snake there that Iād hang out with when I was working the cash register. Heād loop around my neck and just hang out like a little snake necklace for hours. Scared the shit out of a few customers who thought he was a piece of jewelry until he moved š
I think youād be surprised how many people here share your interests. You may not be able to scroll through an album of other peopleās projects relevant to your hobby right now, but I bet you can post to a more general community with a very specific question (or show off your own project) and get a good amount of engagement and feedback, maybe even with broader perspective than you might get in a subreddit with an established āmetaā for your hobby.
Yeah, Iām happy for AI to take this particular horrifying job from us. Chances are it will be overtuned (too strict), but if thereās a reasonable appeals process I could see it saving a lot of people the trauma of having to regularly view the worst humanity has to offer without major drawbacks.
Before Avril, we called it rollerboarding. The boards were considerably larger and you would propel yourself along with a long pole, like a gondola. Only the wealthy could afford true rollerboards, however, we would make our own with scrap wood. I had one that was a modified old door that I had attached bicycle wheels to the sides of. That board would FLY down hills but you needed the whole neighborhood to pull the damn thing back up again.
Yup!
