I won’t go near the comparison to one’s sexual preference, to another voluntary dietary habits.
But, you’re not wrong. If this was something that was super important to me and life affecting, then you are completely right.
Now, as someone who is just trying to not eat meat for personal and whatever reasons, that’s not how you get people into your cause. I am not bound to it, and the perception of the community is something i get to have liberty with.
How about “well, it’s not an animal. not bad”. Not being me with my kid hearing that her favorite burger patty (the impossible one) is a waste of money and an embarrassment to the real vegans in the middle of the safeway by a random asshole stranger, who had the after thought to explain how tofu is better totally not noticing that his very life is in danger.
Being called stupid and criticizing my decisions kept me from “being brave”
Like “You’re not good enough until you are this much” bullshit. If that’s the attitude, then fuck no. Why do I wanna go even further into things if y’all are assholes right off the bat. Like, no. fuck you. If it’s this complicated then I am going to do what has been a life of hassle free eating. My guilt is very easily wiped away like that.
There’s being a mod on many levels. From a mod on 4chan to a mod in facebook groups. Being a reddit mod these days is like naming your herpes and showing coworkers “pictures of the kids”
stammering under the pressure Post spez reddit and the humanitarian… then… i just can’t. Holy jesus fucks on wednesdays this shit screams “reddit mod” which is a whole new level of stupid. Seriously guy? You think you’re that important?
And then a reddit mod steps in. And bigorty… bans… society??? post spez reddit mod activate. Mother fucker.
So far it I’ve been digging it. There’s a pretty steady pilgrimage from X to threads. Loads of people try to keep it from turning into “X” and that always shows up in the feed. So it is pretty reassuring like that. And reminders to start blocking or muting people now to keep a positive vibe going and your own sanity. It’s been kinda nice like that.
And I’ve only managed to piss off one person and that was by total mistake. We cool now.
I don’t drink enough, or am I considerate enough to jog out for a bag of raw tea. That, and locally where i am, loose leaf tea costs a premium, and harder to find.
After seeing this about the waste, I’ve been thinking there was no real downside to tea bags aside from the production and waste value of packaging. Like is the tea biodegradable? The bag and string itself? Kinda always struck me as “environmentally” safe to dispose of.
Not like a cigarette butts, or old school styrofoam and pantyhose that gets tossed and isn’t going to go away and makes matters worse in a lot of cases. Already kinda understood those. Teabags, kinda under my radar i guess?
