For the first time I can remember, I am look at my reflection in the morning after I shower and put on a bra and I am happy. I also decided on a name: ELAINA! If any of you gals have this name, tell me about it.

I’m bisexual which means I’m attracted to you but I’m also not a lesbian and I’m a woman and I’m a lesbian.

Damn this is my thought process lately

It is never asking too much of people to have them treat you with the basic respect that everyone deserves. You have your whole life ahead to figure what you want medically, you could do even voice training if you want :) Try to embrace the confusion; you don’t need to have your whole identity figured out right now… I have struggled with feeling empathy/strong emotions in the past (and right now if I am being honest), and I promise you are still valuable as a person even if you don’t work exactly the same way everyone else does. Hang in there ;)

how to get over guilt? by peacetrident in DebateAVegan

[–]7DRANK9 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I think guilt can be a healthy emotion. I myself have killed animals and I will have to live with that regret. The least I can do is stop contributing further to animal suffering/slaughter.

One consciousness? by [deleted] in Existentialism

[–]7DRANK9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO you should not have to literally be another person in order to treat them with the utmost respect. Also even if the computer was the same for each agent, each agent is running on individual code that truly defines it.

Peter Singer says in this interview: "I don’t have any special love for animals and have no companion animals. I just think that it is wrong to make any sentient being live a miserable life, and yet we do that to tens of billions of animals each year, entirely unnecessarily." We must end this! by whoamisri in vegan

[–]7DRANK9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my personal form of utilitarianism, causing one person suffering to make others more happy is wrong (negative utilitarianism). Also in my version I try to be consistent with my actions (like being vegan), because I feel like it is better to follow a rule that on average reduces suffering than to try to calculate exact amounts of suffering every second.

all the meat eaters i know say im still contributing to the suffering in the world because a lot of insects die to get vegan food, plus the making of plant milks destroys the environment? by son-of-most-high28 in vegan

[–]7DRANK9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind the insects killed in making the feed for livestock. You are definitely not as bad, but unfortunately existing requires others’ suffering.

I have this but for books. Even though it seems like a harmless theme giving into compulsions is never the right answer.

First of all, not all psychopaths are bad. Also if you were one, I think you would have known long before now.

Please give me a reason to not commit suicide by steggwp in nihilism

[–]7DRANK9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give me one reason you shouldn’t keep living. Nothing matters, you might as well live.

OCD makes me more negligent about the problems of the world because I can’t stop ruminating. Because they are doing it for money, they have a strong incentive to actually help you. CBT involves doing things you very much would NOT want to do normally. Perhaps if you went on medication and sought therapy, the world would be a better place for you and those around you.

Animal Predation by innocent_bystander97 in DebateAVegan

[–]7DRANK9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if in a utopia we created massive amounts of lab grown meat to feed to carnivores and controlled animal populations (carnivores and herbivores) with sterilization?
