An extremely subjective and esoteric set of criteria. Sometimes it's because the representation of Jesus is hot, sometimes the crucifix is rather ornate, sometimes it's just different from what I've seen before.
Seriously, our flag is like the best thing Canada has going for it.
Although as much as I loathe little corner Union Jacks on flags, I have to admit I'd probably get a kick from the reaction of the entire province of Québec if it were to happen.
Whenever I drive (which is rare) and I go through an intersection on a yellow light, I punch the ceiling of the car. I'll even punch the air above my head if I run a yellow on my bicycle.
Someone told me back in high school that it's bad luck not to do so, and for some reason it stuck with me.
I honestly feel that's less of a diss on the Neo and more of a statement on how overpowered phones are now, especially considering the limitations placed on mobile OSes.
If you go about it with curiosity, especially if you focus on recipes instead of ethics, you're probably good. Sharing food is such a big social thing that you get a bit ostracized from when you're vegan, so it truly is nice to share recipes with earnest people like you seem to be.
Now if only I can figure out vegan meals that would do well in my smoker!
I've never used a smoker so I'm not quite familiar with the process, but my first instinct would be trying something with seitan. I did find some recipes with just a quick search.
If you do smoke some seitan, feel free to invite me, I'll bring drinks! :P
I've never made anyone become vegan, but a lot of my friends have definitely opened up to incorporating more vegetarian or vegan meals into their diets, which I do count as a small win.
A friend who used to be very much the meat & potatoes type has recently been texting me excitedly about the new vegan recipes he's been trying out. He still regularly eats meat, but hey, it's something.
I've been vegan for nearly ten years, I dread any time the topic comes up with people who aren't also vegan.
It usually becomes a pointless debate where I either have to heavily self-censor, or end up hurting the feelings of people who eat animal products. It's always the same conversations I've already had hundreds of times, no one's gonna change my mind and I probably won't change theirs either.
I have a pretty addictive personality and I thank the stars that I've never enjoyed coke on the handful of occasions I've tried it. It just made me feel overly talkative to the point of being annoying.
I was around 20 when I first started browsing trans subreddits "as an ally", and I also made a few jokes to some friends about how "I'm probably non-binary lol".
I was 23 when I finally actually came to terms with my gender and sexual orientation. Those three years were rough :P
As I read it, their argument is that fascism can only be sustained if a sizable number of people who would suffer under fascism actively support it.
If only the tiny minority of elites that benefits from fascism actually supported it, it wouldn't be near the level of popularity necessary to be sustainable.
Even if we discovered that plants feel pain to the same extent as animals, a vegan diet would still be the moral option seeing as an omnivorous diet requires more plants (via animal feed) than a vegan one.
Efficiency of energy transfer is lost very quickly at higher trophic levels.
Explain how AI haters or doubters cross over with Veganism at all as a comparison?
They're both taking a moral stance regarding their consumption despite large swathes of society considering these choices to be morally neutral or even good. I've been vegan for almost a decade and dislike AI, and while I don't think being anti-AI is quite as ostracizing as being vegan, the comparison definitely seems reasonable to me. The behaviour of rabid meat eaters and fervent AI supporters are also quite similar.
How often are you fixing your dishwasher??
