I'm reading Warbreaker right now because someone said I should read it before Stormlight Archive, but I'm very excited to start that series soon.
I've heard great things about Wheel of Time, although one of my friends said it can be a bit harder to get into.
I can totally imagine that book being really boring to some people. I almost didn't include the actual book series in this post but I thought people would be curious.
I think for people who are big readers, reading books that they only kinda enjoy isn't a big deal for them. They might even just appreciate that it's different.
But for folks who don't read much and are trying to get into it, chugging through a book they only partially like might ruin their entire vision of what reading should be.
Try to frame it like it's exciting, not a failure. It's fun that you have so many more books you want to read!
I thought I was far superior to people because I liked Pink Floyd and their music is actually meaningful and intellectual... yikes. I still like Pink Floyd though
This has been discussed thousands of times online so I don't feel the need to type out a very long answer.
The pure existence of modern day chickens is animal abuse. The closest known relative to the modern day chicken lays about 10-15 or so eggs a year. Modern day chickens lay eggs daily. It is extremely hard on their body, they have been selectively bred to provide output with no care for their wellbeing.
That being said, if a vegan were to rescue a chicken or something, and it produces eggs, the best you can do is usually feed them back to it. I know that sounds weird but if you feed the chicken back its own eggs, it helps recuperate lost nutrients, and they love it.
Scary if true, but I'm in the US and everything seems to be working for me. It could have been a temporary bug that was already fixed? Not sure
Nope, you can't assume the - is included in the square if there's no parenthesis around it. The answer is -9. Think of it like "0-3²" which is more obviously -9.
Am I missing something, why would you get less of any of those in a city? You would definitely go on more walks in a city, and I don't see how water or sleep would change.
Correct me if I'm wrong but can't the president only pardon federal crimes? Unless if this happened on federal land I don't think he can pardon it
To be fair, the word butter is very vague. Shea butter has no milk, apple butter has no milk, etc.
I'm a vegan and I actually partially agree with your sentiment about "quick death + no pain = maybe not too unethical", and that's actually the justification I used for a while to defend why I wasn't vegan.
Just know that this view is not inherently incompatible with veganism. Go vegan because of the way the animals are treated while they're alive. Also, most animals are not killed without suffer.
Cows for meat are possibly the only animal we eat that actually sometimes get decent treatment, if they're pasture raised with no growth hormones. But non vegans act like this is significant. Only about 3% of cows get to live their entire lives on a pasture. I would commend someone if they actually held a strict rule that they only ate pasture raised beef, but I've never met anyone like that. That would mean you could never order beef from a restaurant, you could never eat beef your friends made, etc. unless you're 100% sure it was pasture raised. Because just about every other cow had to live it's entire life in a space so small it can't even turn it's head and doesn't get to see outside.
That being said, virtually every other animal product does not have that going for them. Chicken is never pasture raised (too expensive), their lives are absolutely atrocious and the vast majority of the time they are killed by being hung on an assembly line upside down.
I'm not going to go into all the details but just know that, even if you do hold the belief that it's okay for an animal to die if it is quick and painless, that you can still recognize that veganism is correct.
