One of the old knitting books I have asks for two yarn colours in a pattern: cream and n***er brown.

Yup. Its amazing how quick and efficient the government is when rich peoples interests are involved

I think plant-based is the diet choice and veganism is the lifestyle. I got corrected by someone who was plant based. They didn’t want to associate with vegans

I agree. It doesn’t cost a lot to buy lentils and make dal, but it takes time.

The problem is really our entire food system is geared towards profit and the excessive suffering that comes from that. If you want to eat meat a little more ethically…you have to spend more or have the time to raise animals yourself.

Vegans vs meat-eaters is distraction from humans vs industrialized food. Vegans are correct about the suffering of animals, but those that focus on preaching to convert would find their time best spent being compassionate to those that can’t make changes.

Some small changes include:

• have one more vegetarian day a week
• in a restaurant select the vegetarian entree or three vegetarian side dishes in stead of a meat main course
• buy from local farms if available
• make some mushy Peas for a lunch option
• meal prep (vegan/vegetarian food does freeze easily and is easy to reheat)
• if making a dish that contains ground meat substitute (homemade options below)

I mean to do it all at once is not easy. Making small changes over time can improve health and save money. Thinking about the suffering of the animals can be detrimental, because you may associate making vegan choices with thoughts of animal suffering. I used to subscribe to a vegan magazine, but half of it was amazing recipes, and the other half was distressing animal stories.

You’re not a terrible human if you eat meat! It’s not easy to change, but doing a little bit can go a long way. See if you can cut it down ❤

That took a turn I hope that suicide will be legal and safe before you have to make that choice.

For others bc I had to look it up. Good tip. I will be more enthusiastic about being called for jury duty in future.

Anyone know a good place to learn Farsi (Persian). Duolingo doesn’t have it yet, if ever

The first few months are so hard, you’re doing great! You are sacrificing this Christmas, but for the next few years you’ll get all your joy and all hers. I got to see my 13 month old open presents for the first time today, and it was worth all those sleepless nights.

(Also note she was way more interested in the boxes and wrapping paper than the gifts…) 😅

I came here to hard disagree, especially with the crepes example, but egg on my face and apologies all around: I am with you regarding spaghetti sauce.

Ah yes, being male means that you are always better at all sports than female sportspeople. The mark of maleness is so strong that even after you are no longer male, the maleness lingers and makes you powerful enough to have an unfair advantage and beat all the women. /s

No transperson kept your niece from winning, did they? It’s a boogeyman waved before you to justify making people feel excluded from society because they challenge gender norms.

If a transwoman ever beats my daughter at sport…I’ll be proud of the team for being inclusive. If a transwoman outperforms my daughter and obtains a scholarship ahead of her…I’ll ask why scholarships have to pay for her education.

Society is at fault here, not transwomen.

Right?

Both sides are not the same. However, both sides are terrible. One just more so than the other.

😆😆🤣🤣😭😭😭😭

Triviality :)

How wrong? Racist wrong or just “boiled eggs are tastier than fried eggs” wrong?

I was tempted to down vote you because you have a tesla…but I refrained because this post is about being nice.

(Seriously congratulations for caring about your carbon footprint.)
