This is cool! I've been very pleased with Mullvad as a company and with their products. (now if only they hadn't gotten rid of port forwarding, but I get it...)
Not offended at all - in fact, I think it's awesome that something I wrote inspired you to write such a thorough piece in response 😄
Funnily enough, dairy is probably the most difficult for me...I come from a family that drinks milk with every meal. Not to mention cheese...
I like your advice about making small swaps. The oreos -> fewer oreos -> fig newton -> apple pipeline is a great example. In my case, baby steps like having a hamburger and a different beverage when it's cheeseburger night may be the way to start. Thank you.
This is a great entrypoint to the series. The main cast is all new (though there are of course several references throughout the story for long-time fans). The gameplay is new (turn-based instead of brawler). I believe this is also the first Yakuza since the original Y1 to have a full English dub if that's you're thing.
LaD is a fantastic game that I recommend to anybody. Just know that it is much goofier than persona (especially the side content). Happy to answer any questions you might have.
I'll begin - as great as it would be to go full vegan, it's difficult to imagine for a few reasons:
I cannot eat nuts
I often share meals with a family who loves beef and red meat and is hesitant to try alternatives
Dairy alternatives are generally more expensive
The main reasons I would like to reduce my consumption are to lower my carbon footprint (looking at you, cow farts) and unethical treatment of animals, especially the more intelligent ones (controversial, but if I'm eating meat I feel better about fish or chicken products than pork and cow).
Someone suggested it further down but fanaticus.social has most of the largest teams and general sports communities. The head mod seems pretty chill too so if there's anything specific you're looking for and not seeing it's worth asking them
"These products are garbage," he says. "We are not used to them, they are not part of the Mediterranean diet. And they could be a threat for people: we don't know what eating insects can do to our bodies.
As opposed to red meat, which we know causes health issues in large quantities...
People are afraid of change, I get it. The thought of eating bugs weirds me out too, but do it for a month or so and I'm sure it's fine.

"Congressional Republicans and local nonprofits opposed to these projects have launched campaigns and lawsuits to halt their development — many of them backed by oil and gas companies."
