What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh

What do you call a fly with no legs? A walk

What do you call a deer with no eyes? No idea

What do you call a deer with no eyes and no legs? Still no idea

"Large percentage". Please state and citate.

(Tbh, 1% would be a large percentage of a group voting away their own rights)

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...!

Good for them for coming around.

Unless the one time was this one, most recent, time

It's still an affair if it's not secret. Fucking (over) every single woman in the country is still an affair, even if you proudly declare it to your wife and everyone you know.

Yes, exactly. If those silly poor people only worked harder they too could be aristocracy.

Plineys writings serve the same purpose. An example of knowledge brought to my by beer.

I would love to get a mask made that read "I have tuberculosis".

I think plant-based is the diet choice and veganism is the lifestyle. I got corrected by someone who was plant based. They didn't want to associate with vegans

I agree. It doesn't cost a lot to buy lentils and make dal, but it takes time.

The problem is really our entire food system is geared towards profit and the excessive suffering that comes from that. If you want to eat meat a little more ethically...you have to spend more or have the time to raise animals yourself.

Vegans vs meat-eaters is distraction from humans vs industrialized food. Vegans are correct about the suffering of animals, but those that focus on preaching to convert would find their time best spent being compassionate to those that can't make changes.

Some small changes include:

  • have one more vegetarian day a week
  • in a restaurant select the vegetarian entree or three vegetarian side dishes in stead of a meat main course
  • buy from local farms if available
  • make some mushy Peas for a lunch option
  • meal prep (vegan/vegetarian food does freeze easily and is easy to reheat)
  • if making a dish that contains ground meat substitute (homemade options below)

I mean to do it all at once is not easy. Making small changes over time can improve health and save money. Thinking about the suffering of the animals can be detrimental, because you may associate making vegan choices with thoughts of animal suffering. I used to subscribe to a vegan magazine, but half of it was amazing recipes, and the other half was distressing animal stories.

mushy peas (use margarine or olive oil instead of butter)

mushroom "forcemeat" and other substitutes

dal recipe

You're not a terrible human if you eat meat! It's not easy to change, but doing a little bit can go a long way. See if you can cut it down ❤

 

I'm a nursing Mum, USA, and my work (transportation) is not protected by the pump act. https://www.usbreastfeeding.org/the-pump-act-explained.html I was told via email from HR that they "do not make accommodations for crewmembers." Legally they don't have to, so I applied for disability. It was denied with some accommodations for my return to work that needed clarification, but I didn't expect much more. I then started my return to work process, including a medical return to work form for my provider to complete. The provider used the exact same, cut and paste, language as the original request for disability form. My return to work has been denied because they cannot accommodate me. Local unions advice: break the rules. So, yes, lawyer up, of course. However, that will take months or years (like the Frontier case https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/settlement-reached-frontier-airlines-pregnancy-and-lactation-discrimination-lawsuit ) and I am running low on my savings.

So, despite ten years with my company, I will now lose my $50~/hr pay, schedule seniority, union Healthcare, tribal knowledge, skills etc and go to another company. All because I wanted twenty minutes every four hours to pump for my baby - some coworkers take longer shits.

Regular pumping avoids mastitis and maintains flow. Breastfed babies have less health problems in early years. Nursing mothers have lower instances of certain cancers. Formula is a great invention, but costs money, and just isn't a good fit for my family. https://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpao/features/breastfeeding-benefits/index.html
