People will shit on crystals believers in one breath and tell people to ‘respect other’s religion’ in another or gloat about their MBTI assessment. The cognitive dissonance is unreal.

I don’t believe in either but at least I’m consistent. If you’re not, then you’re just finding an excuse to hate on a hobby that primarily attracts women.

This is the same thing that happens to anything that women likes: pumpkin spice lattes, uggs, horoscopes, tarot cards, rose, etc. It’s seen as trivial and stupid no matter how banal the average person’s interest are regardless of gender.

There are only two poles, north and south. Everywhere else is a mental illness.

Why are we listening to what this corporate clown has to say.

Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood.

Before anyone asks, no, ‘salt’ doesn’t refer to sodium chloride in this context but rather curing salt or sodium nitrite.

‘Unprocessed ham’ is just a consumer term for ‘uncured ham’, which ironically is still cured, just with sodium chloride and not sodium nitrite. But sure let’s pretend every ‘Ma’am’ asking for nitrite-free ham is just a homeopathic dunce asking for the non-existent.

Fucked up economy that we live in when we can’t buy a home without parent’s help anymore.

It’s more than one time. A good number of churches actually run soup kitchens, donate to those in need, and are inclusive to all. I’m not religious, I just feel like these kinds of churches aren’t as well represented in media. That being said, just like people, churches can be as charitable as they are intolerant.

This greentext is probably fake, but as someone dealing with memory loss and brain fog, I feel that I need to speak up about the last line.

It’s jarring to see people comment on how saying ‘forgot two weeks later’ makes everything a lie. ‘Forget’ and ‘permanently forget’ are two different things. With memory loss, some memories can feel like a book that randomly checks out and checks into the library.

‘If you think America is bad’ is wholly unnecessary when you consider that socialized healthcare hardly exists, public education is a living corpse of severely underpaid teachers, mass shootings (I’ve been in one), mandatory cost of car ownership, and so many other fucked up things.

I’m not saying that Japan is a good place to live, because it has a myriad of it’s own problems and I personally wouldn’t want to live there. I just think we should give people some credit for the shit Americans put up with too.

I’m happy for you, but real question: would you recommend this degree to aspiring students? Would you say you’re the exception or do people have the wrong perception about a career in art?

I think there should be better social services and shelter accessibility for homeless people. But let’s not pretend that we can always tell who an intruder is by how they look. There is no universal ‘look’ to them because they aren’t cartoon characters. Intruder and robbers could easily pretend to be a homeless person and prey on unsuspecting people like you.

I think it’s true that a lot of people call the police because they are racist or just hate homeless people. But let’s not treat this like a black and white issue and dismiss the legitimate concerns of safety that some people have. I’ve lived in my fair share of shitty neighborhoods and was broken in twice before. I have also called the police on someone who was yelling at me while I pulled up at home with my bike. Maybe they were only homeless or were mentally ill and wasn’t a threat, but I’m choosing between being rude to this person and potentially being robbed, raped or killed. Most people, especially women and elderly, don’t have the luxury to not call the police.

Yes, the system is fucked up. But don’t blame everyone people at home for trying to keep themselves safe, blame the NIMBYs, the lack of social safety nets, the regressive social policies that target homeless people, the lack of fucks given by politicians, and the fucked up medical system that puts people one hospital visit away from homelessness. It’s fucked up, but that doesn’t it make it less fucked up for victims of break ins and assault.

There are probably more women with internalized misogyny than men who are feminist. This is not to say that there are few male feminists, there is just a lot of women in the world and not everyone has caught up yet.

Shark fin soup.

I had it as a kid before I knew better. It’s nothing special and just a status symbol at this point. There are so many other things that can substitute it and it’s wild that people still pay for it.

Suggesting people to go vegan for 1 day isn’t meaningful change.

Why tell someone to be perfect for 1 day instead of being imperfect, but better for the rest of their lives?

People can make a much bigger difference if they started small like having one vegetarian meal a week. When you give small goals, people are more inclined to fulfill them and in turn, they are more likely to keep improving themselves.

I used to eat meat basically every single meal. Then I started small, had vegetarian dinners once a week. That was achievable, so I started doing lunch too. Next thing you know, I’m eating about 30% the meat I used to, and when I do it’s usually chicken or seafood.

And it doesn’t stop there.

My point is, if you want to inspire meaningful change in others, give them actionable goals. Don’t ask people to quit cold turkey because that seldom works.

That’s black and white thinking and a common pitfall of internet ideologies that aren’t actionable.

If you want people to get rid of cars, you first need better zoning laws, higher density living, more mixed use development, accessible public transit, and better cycling lanes and bike parking, and more.

Saying ‘just get rid of cars’ isn’t grounded in the reality of how inaccessible places are in countries with car dependency and shit urban planning.

Good is not the enemy of perfect. It’s easier to convince 100 people to eat 10% less meat than to convince 10 people to go vegan.

If you want to make a difference, tell people about meatless Mondays. It’s far more actionable than just ‘go vegan’.

Can we just start calling him what he is, a hate speech absolutionist?
