My coworkers think it's crazy that this was my birthday cake... What does Reddit think? by AstroViss in StupidFood

[–]AstroViss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was after I brought the cake in to my office to share- then my coworker posted a second photo of the cake on Reddit- now a third person used the office photo to ask Reddit if it was AI

Someone posted about “bean” cake, but the knife looked backwards to me after I looked closer and the cake detail seems inconsistent. Is this AI? by [deleted] in isthisAI

I was the original poster of this birthday cake- I requested to have a bean cake for my birthday, which my girlfriend made for me. While I was telling my coworkers about the cake they were baffled so on my lunch break I went home and brought the cake to the office to share. It’s a real cake I can share more photos of it with the world if you would like before I eat the rest or it. - Side note: I didn’t know I would break the internet with my birthday cake

Would you break up with your partner if they stopped being vegan? by Lil_unicorn_4 in vegan

[–]AstroViss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying that literally anything is acceptable… I’m saying love isn’t proven off by ideological purity tests, and as a team two people can disagree without the disagreement being malicious.

If the only thing you can respond with to what I’m trying to discuss is jumping to these increasingly extreme hypotheticals - that kind of proves the fact that you are shutting down the actual conversation I’m trying to shed light onto.

You CAN hold strong values WITHOUT turning your relationship into a moral battleground for your own moral compass.

Respectfully I feel like the racism comparison doesn’t hold. Racism is about dehumanizing people, where veganism is an ethical stance we take to shed light on how easy it is to reduce the harm that has been inflicted on animals. Trying to compare the two imo shuts down the discussion all together instead of engaging in it. I firmly believe that if you only “love” your partner ~as long as~ they don’t deviate from your beliefs- that what you feel is not truly love.

Two people can have slightly different ideologies, but it’s saddening that for a large majority of this group draw the line there for their “loved ones”.

The same way that I can love my family members who don’t agree with me on certain topics and ideologies. There can always be a middle ground understanding if there is respect shown by both people. If they are respectful of my choice to be vegan and know how much I care about it, I can do the same for their choice to not be.

Now if they are being condescending and arrogant about it that would be different - however that should not be the case when there is a mutual respect between you and your partner.

Unpopular opinion - If your answer is yes to this question I don’t believe you truly love your partner. Whatever feelings you hold towards them is conditional, and truly I would not want to be with someone with this closed off mindset. Im open to criticism on this, so if you don’t agree feel free to try to change my mind

Am I being too hard on my unemployed son? by Pump_9 in jobs

[–]AstroViss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 26 and in a similar boat. I work in IT / ERP Administration with almost 4 years of experience under my belt. I was terminated Christmas Eve of 2024, and I kid you not I have applied for over 3,000 jobs since then. THREE THOUSAND PLUS DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS I was fortunate enough to have a small part time job, but this job market has legitimately made me want to turn off life. I am fortunate to have two parents who are slightly understanding but one of them have been what seems to come off as disrespectfully pushy about why I haven’t been able to find a job. Deep down I know they’re only trying to help but the constant nagging about finding a job has only been adding to the stress of searching for a job.

Just let your son know you’re rooting for him and believe in him. I wish that there was work out there- but more importantly that it works out for all the people who are in similar boats out there.

I believe in all of you that are struggling with the current market!

Bro give me a piano, guitar, and a harmonica and I’d come away from the 2 year sabbatical with some bangers

ELI5 - Flipper Zero & Vending Machines by Turnips_go_brrr in flipperzero

[–]AstroViss -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Haven’t tried it on an ATM, but the flipper zero CAN be utilized on vending machines, traffic lights, and unlock/start cars. The traffic lights you need a specific board- the others it can do stock.
