That's great and I am happy for you how well your lifestyle seems to be going. Rural is always a challenge when avoiding meat, I know how much effort it can mean. Good on you for hanging in there.
Almonds have their issues, but that said are still ahead of the curve in regards to envirmental impact in comparison to animal products.
Yeah, I see your point. If it's just about emissions full plant based of course would still be the best outcome, because even diary products have a huge environmental impact. Not as bad as meat, but still considerably higher than any plant based choice. I found it fascinating that an avocado that has been shipped across the ocean to Europe still is a better choice than local diary products, enviormentaly speaking.
In regards to research etc. I get your point. I tranaiended from vegetarian to vegan about 10 years ago and the first half year was a lot of research what I could buy and couldn't and how I should make meals in order to not run into any problems. After that it just became my new normal. It takes zero effort these days, minus the occasional struggle to find a good place of go out.
What is holding you back from going vegan or at least vegetarian? I'm not trying to judge, I'm just interested. If you care about the environment it would seem a logical choice, that's why I'm asking.
I still personally believe buying local is probably the best bet
You call it a belive rightfully, because in order to hold it you have to activly disregard the multiple studies that point to animal products beefing worse for the environment even if shipped around the world.
I am sorry if this doesn't agree with your world view. It's a reality that has been proven by multiple authors again and again now.
I have to admit thag I just never had problems, so I just use what ever I can get. I use vegan soaps, if that helps, but I can't compare them to non vegan ones.
I don't know where you are located, but here we have dedicated body and shampoo soap bars. They are quite a bit nicer to akin than using normal soap. That's all the advice I have to offer unfortunately :)
I have been using solid bodysoap and shampoo now for some years and it has likley saved a solid amount of plastic waste and is super easy.
"Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore," Musk wrote in the all-staff email. "This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade."
This is so fucking cringy.
So because the majority of voters voted Republican the parents who lost children deserve no empathy from you, even if you don't knwo how they voted.
This is a shit take. Everybody who lost a child deserves empathy, period.
But they are giving the context in which he says it.
The story came about as he was discussing his uneasiness for looking at blood, which prompted him to recall the incident.
And I wouldn't call it cherry picking if an article that says: Here is a bad thing Trump said in an old interview is quoting, well, said bad thing. In Context.
I mean, you are right about what they did. He said a lot of stuff and they represent the things that make him look bad. Doesn't change that he said them tough.
I was saying, 'Get that blood cleaned up! It's disgusting!' The next day, I forgot to call [the man] to say is he OK.
It's just not my thing
He paid 44 billion for twitter. He could pay the legal fees of every American for a year and it would hardly dent his wealth. It's obscene how much money one person can have.
