Insane expectations being placed on women around beauty and appearance, and the resulting insecurities that creates, play a big role in this

The whole question of double standards is in a sense, asking about common unhealthy traits

It’s not entirely on you. Accusing you of mansplaining is not cool, she should’ve just said something like “i’m sharing this because I’m looking for emotional support, not solutions, so please stop trying to solve my problems when I’m just venting”.

In a sense, how people react to having problems shared with them is a cultural difference, neither is right or wrong but they can be jarring and confusing when you’re used to one culture but interact with a different one. But it’s not fair to just assume the other culture is acting in bad faith

Freedom for me but not for thee

- “progressives” who don’t care about animal rights

💯

strong teeth 💪🦷🦷🦷 dumb brain 🧠😵‍💫

Chikfila abuses animals

Does it matter if someone has integrity if they always do the right thing?

Lmao look at the blatant “language games” in the bible, prioritizing faith over evidence, allowing owning people as property, sexism, etc. In an interesting twist, the church is the one with a log in its eye trying to get the speck out of atheists eyes

halfway through the peak:

wait a minute, did I take acid?

Or use spotify from the browser

Is it dihydrogen monoxide?

No, veganism as a conclusion is a combination of facts and basic moral understanding, principles like “live and let live”, “do no harm”, and the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do to you. If you’re a psychopath who doesn’t care how much harm, death, and suffering is caused in order to get sensory pleasure, I probably can’t convince you why veganism is worthwhile

The difference between veganism and religion is that one is based on facts, the other is not.

• It’s true that other species of animals are sentient, they have nervous systems similar enough to ours that we know they can feel pleasure and pain.
• It’s true that we kill billions of them per year.
• It’s true that the vast majority of them are factory farmed (74% worldwide, 99% in the US).
• It’s true that humans at all stages of life can thrive on a properly planned vegan diet, according to most major health organizations.
• It’s true that animal agriculture is extremely inefficient and loses a lot of calories from crops being put towards feeding animals (see: trophic levels)
• It’s true that animal agriculture has a huge impact on the environment compared to feeding crops directly to humans.

so get out of here with that nonsense that veganism is religious zealotry. I don’t have time to cite a source for each point, but they’re all super easily verified. Veganism is looking at the impact of your choices with clear eyes and choosing compassion over personal pleasure. It’s choosing to live and let live, rather than forcing death and misery on other species because you like the taste of their flesh and secretions.

If you didn’t realize the importance of privacy after the patriot act and seeing the continuation of right wing authoritarianism, it’s definitely time to get on board asap. Get yourself and your community on signal instead of texts and tuta or proton instead of regular email, use a vpn (mullvad or proton are solid), and depending on what kinds of actions you may or may not be interested in, learn how to use tails os and tor (try to find a copy of the darknetmarket bible for a good intro)

Edit: simplex is a good alternative to signal too, and if you have a google pixel, grapheneos is solid. Next time you’re getting a new phone, get a used pixel and install it. On your computer, there’s a lot of telemetry and sketchy stuff windows does, either research and disable that or switch to linux if you can

Oh I know how not to. I just don’t care if I’m a weirdo 🤷

Yeah it’s super easy (autistic or not) to think you’re being very clear when you have the full idea in your head, but you’re actually not. It’s like if you’re trying to describe a purple elephant and say “the thing that moves around and is purple and has a trunk”. Those words clearly describe a purple elephant if you already have the concept at the forefront of your mind, but for somebody without a purple elephant in mind, you could just as well be describing a purple car or a guy from the purple equivalent of the blue man group carrying around a big chest of clothes or a purple tree that can move around.

/e/OS is android lol. Yes it’s better than the version of android that ships with phones by default, but grapheneos is still way better than e/os (even though they’re all android)

Just buy lube lol

or coconut oil
