Jackfruit! You can use it to make a mean vegan pulled “pork”, it’d be great on a BBQ pizza.

Since when are 3 year olds being sent to school?

I find it so cool that you’ve been vegan for 24 years, as a younger vegan (7 years) I thank you for suffering through groceries with one brand of soy milk and maybe some tofu (if you’re lucky) so that we can live in this world were I have access to vegan fudgesicles at the local grocery store.

I’m curious though, because veganism has definitely been a point of contention in my past few relationships; how do you and your wife manage meals? Do you do separate meals, or is it more of a “she’s vegan at home” type situation?

This is probably a more helpful TV reference than what I was going to link, which is King of the Hill S09E03 “Death Buys A Timeshare”

There’s screenshots under both the Google Play and IzzyOnDroid download links which are both listed on the GitHub page.

I agree that devs should add screenshots of their apps to their GitHub readme! But I have to point out you spent more effort writing this comment than looking for screenshots :P

NB has never been a safe haven for queer people, but the brazenness of homophobes and transphobes has increased dramatically since Premier Higgs’ attack on trans youth and policy 713.

I personally know quite a few drag performers in the province, and every single one of them consistently receives death threats and harassment on their social media.

If you vote conservative, fuck you. The rhetoric of the Conservatives (both provincially in NB and federally) is directly influencing the rise of hate crimes towards people I love. If you still support these political parties, you are either uninformed to a ridiculous degree (in which case, please educate yourself before giving your support to people) or you’re a shitstain on society.

It’s wild how conservatives constantly have the worst takes on absolutely everything. It’d be funny if I weren’t so worried. How they always end up having whichever opinion is furthest away from scientific consensus and/or human decency is actually absurd. You’d think they’d at least occasionally end up having a few reasonable, well thought-out views.

I quite enjoy !garfieldism@lemmy.blahaj.zone

I’m mostly planning on working, because I need to afford rent and groceries.

If I’m lucky, I might try to get some time off and do a small bicycle tour in PEI.

Then they did some consultations with the public and said that not enough people wanted it.

Worse than that, Trudeau straight up said “People wanted electoral reform because they were unsatisfied under the Harper government, now that we’re in power everything is fine and people don’t care about electoral reform anymore.”

Source article in Le Devoir (French), I’ll quote the relevant part here:

« Sous M. [Stephen] Harper, il y avait tellement de gens mécontents du gouvernement et de son approche que les gens disaient “ça prend une réforme électorale pour ne plus avoir de gouvernement qu’on n’aime pas”. Or, sous le système actuel, ils ont maintenant un gouvernement avec lequel ils sont plus satisfaits. Et la motivation de vouloir changer le système électoral est moins percutante [ou moins criante] »

Contrapoints and PhilosophyTube were two big ones

Care to share why you stopped watching their channels? Because without context, the only potential reason that comes to mind is that they’re both trans women…

Another issue is how much easier it is to up your nicotine content. When my little brother started vaping, he went up to the equivalent of a pack of smoke’s worth of nicotine per day within a couple of months.

Whereas I, who got addicted to nicotine the old fashioned way, took a couple years before I was smoking a pack a day, because otherwise I would have been coughing my lungs out.

Vapes are as tightly controlled as cigarettes (at least here in Canada).

The issue is that cigarettes aren’t as tightly regulated as you’d think. Pretty much every town has that one spot where local teens know they won’t get carded for nicotine products.

On another note fuck Trudeau for running again, essentially guaranteeing that Canada will have a fucking Con gov’t

I definitely don’t disagree with you here, but on the other hand, I don’t imagine the Liberals pushing a candidate that wouldn’t just bring them even further right of centre…

You’re completely right, I am not a nutritionist, and honestly I’d truly hope no one takes their nutrition advice from strangers on Lemmy. Next time I’ll add a disclaimer though, that’s a fair enough point.

That being said, I’ve been vegan for over 7 years, supplementing only B12 (and D during the winter) and I’m not dead yet.

I’ve known from a pretty early age that I never want kids. Don’t get me wrong, I actually love kids. At social events I’ll often be the one entertaining them, and I can’t wait for my friends to start having kids so I can be the cool & fun babysitter.

However, kids are dreadful roommates, I’d be a horrible parent, I don’t want to bring a living being into this cruel world (especially with climate change), I’m too poor for children, and, being non-binary, parenthood just seems so tied down to gender norms I don’t adhere to.

Being vegan is recent fad or trendy thing from the perspective of world history.

Abstaining from animal products has been a thing for at least a couple centuries (see al-Ma’arri)

Nutritionally, veganism is not healthy without an extensive amount of supplements.

The only supplement you must absolutely take on a vegan diet is vitamin B12. The source of vitamin B12 in omnivore diets is also supplements, albeit given to the animals raised for slaughter rather than taken directly. Supplementing omega-3 is also highly recommended for vegans. The other ones you’ll hear mentioned are vitamin D3 and iodine, with both of which many foods are fortified since most people, including those who eat an omnivorous diet, don’t get enough of these through their food. This is hardly what I’d call “an extensive amount of supplements”. I’ve been vegan for 7 years and the only supplements I take are B12, as well as vitamin D during the winter months since I live in a northern area.

Veganism is an opinion or philosophy, it does not come from any doctrinal teachings with historical writings to count as a belief system on the same level as someone who can only eat certified kosher food.

I agree, a person’s carefully thought-out ethical decisions about what they consume are different from someone doing something because an old book tells them to.

• Reading books

• Going for long bike rides to cool spots

• Trying new recipes

• Crochet

• Learning frivolous, semi-useless skills (juggling, solving a Rubik’s cube and unicycling to name a few)

• Trying a new operating system

• Work on my family tree

I acknowledge I can’t completely remove myself from contributing to suffering and climate change (short of killing myself, which I have no intention of doing.)

However I’ll do all I can to minimize my impact. Including being vegan, living a generally minimal consumption lifestyle, buying secondhand as much as possible, walking or cycling everywhere, and not bringing any children into this world.

I’ll also acknowledge my individual actions don’t really make any difference in the grand scheme of things, but I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t at least try to live in a manner that won’t make our planet inhospitable to our species before the end of the century.

Sorry my diet doesn’t cause enough death, suffering, and environmental destruction for your tastes.
