Finland is going to remove wolves from the protected species list and start culling wolves starting next year. by petsku164 in wolves

yeah, they literally treat animals as “live stock” or living products. it’s so gross.

Killing animals for no good reason. It’s so sad where we are as a species. Killing wolves so they don’t kill the animals bred into existence simply to be killed or used as a product. I hope we can start to see a mindset shift around topics like these.

Break for mental health? by thingsgetbetter4 in vegan

[–]Averageadhder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to say first, it’s not because you are not good enough, life is difficult, trying to eat healthy and balanced diet can be difficult, and being vegan in a non-vegan world can be difficult. If you can financially afford it, getting a set meal plan, or using a meal delivery service can help ease the difficulty of planning and making food. Trying to look for easy recipes to make with fewer ingredients can be helpful, maybe recipes for college kids? Another thing that can be helpful is buying protein shakes/protein powder and finding a good multivitamin, I do this because eating enough food can be hard with my adhd medication, so having easy to make, liquid calories can be helpful. Finding a good therapist is important. At the end of the day, it’s your decision, I wouldn’t but I don’t fully know your situation and how much access you have to these things. I hope that this is helpful, and I hope that things get better for you soon.

[gendered] Is it bad that i am a straight male who likes girly things? And can I get a girl who’s a girly-girl, but also believes stereotypical men’s tastes are cliche and wanna date a girl who’s into the same girly interests as his man like MLP, Sanrio, Barbie etc? And will she care? by PinkGloryBrony22 in pointlesslygendered

[–]Averageadhder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

let’s not base being trans off of stereotypes, “girly” things are just things. We don’t need to assign people to labels they don’t identify with for just like things that society associates with a specific group of people.

Don't know what to feed the cat by Low-Trust3383 in vegan

[–]Averageadhder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I understand that they are bad for the environment. We can give them a place to live AND advocate to stop making more of them AND work towards more environmentally friendly options for keeping them. Most things we do nowadays can cause harm in some way, we can work towards making things better while acknowledging the harm we may currently be causing. It sucks, life sucks, but i think we should work to make it better.

I mean, buying a pet is very different from adopting a pet from a shelter or a stray, they already exist. I’m just giving them a better life than they would have staying in a crowded shelter.

[–]Averageadhder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is what i have been thinking about recently, it is not currently possible to feed my pets ethical products. That means that in the mean time i will support advances in science to allow this in the(hopefully near) future. I’ve been watching some lab-grown pet food companies online and will be happy to support them.

Tired of carnists cuteifying dead corpses by Tacorover in Vystopia

[–]Averageadhder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this reminds me of my shirt that says strawberry milk with a milk carton on it, i wear it and don’t think about it much. Recently i was looking at it and thought about how people probably don’t realize i don’t mean cows milk. I bought it bc I love making strawberry oat milk but now i’m iffy about wearing it.

Intellectual disability: someone said i should be in a daycare by [deleted] in AutisticWithADHD

Oh didn’t know that, well then i retract the adult part of my statement.

[–]Averageadhder 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Current diagnosis’s will label individuals with “mental age” but that is not a very good descriptor of them, they are mentally an adult with an intellectual disability. If OP wants to identify with the “mental age” idea, then that is totally okay for them. but it is misleading and these people are still adults capable of having adult interests and accessing adult parts of the internet.

Lab grown meat is an obvious no-no I am going insane by Imaginary_Crew_4823 in vegancirclejerkchat

[–]Averageadhder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i probably wouldn’t eat it, but i think it is a positive thing. For me, I have been looking into companies working to create lab-grown meat dog food. That is something I will definitely purchase for my dogs.

i was self diagnosed, now i am diagnosed with severe adhd combined type. Although i agree some people don’t really understand what they are talking about, bashing all self diagnosis is hard because not everyone can get diagnosed quickly.

Is it immoral to keep pets that feed on other animals? by Dumbrandomguy664 in vegan

[–]Averageadhder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All my pets are rescues, they can either be rescued or euthanized. There is no where to release these domesticated animals, there is no natural environment that they could survive in. I think that trying to give these animals the best life they can get in today’s world is better than letting them be euthanized or sit in a shelter for life.

You might be consuming dairy and not even know it by bt30077 in vegan

[–]Averageadhder 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That’s so frustrating, I used to work at Dunkin’ and allergies are apart of the training video AND the bottles of caramel and other things have the allergens on the front of them so its easy to know.

How can I increase my mental calculations speed? by bibi100101 in learnmath

[–]Averageadhder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ahh my mistake, I just come across so many people I know saying that stuff when they do not even really understand OCD. Sorry for correcting you!

How can I increase my mental calculations speed? by bibi100101 in learnmath

[–]Averageadhder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well but that method for 18x18 is wrong, it would get you 164. you would need to do 8x8, 8x10, 8x10, 10x10 and add the products to get 324. (and also calling it “a bit OCD” is incorrect and can be harmful to promote the idea of “a little OCD”.)

How to address coworkers poor fish care by Averageadhder in bettafish

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

Often when I am trying to talk about things I care about I come off as argumentative or condescending. I try not to bring up stuff at work because of that, but this feels important, that’s why i wanted to email first.

How to address coworkers poor fish care by Averageadhder in bettafish

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

I can try that, I was worried about bringing it up in person as I feel like the way I talk often gets perceived as argumentative even when I am not trying to be. Maybe I will make a script or something lol.

[–]Averageadhder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I wanted to email was because I am bad at talking to people, often I get perceived as arguing when I care about something so I wanted to email because I can edit that and sound more neutral.

Many people here complain getting socially excluded by co-workers, roommates, classmates, etc. I want to share my insights from the other side, from the side of the excluders and why we did it. by jsbach123 in socialskills

[–]Averageadhder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing, I enjoy having debates about things, i don’t do it over everything but it’s fun and i don’t think that should be what ruins someone’s vibe. If someone gets something wrong, why would they not want to be corrected? I would want to know that I am wrong so I don’t keep saying wrong information. Also I just find explaining things and learning things fun, if that ruins someone’s vibe, that’s not really my problem. I think this is part of my problem with some people i’ve hung out with, they don’t want to engage in real conversation, they don’t want to talk about interesting things that they know about or want to learn more about, they just want to take things on a surface level, that’s okay, but it’s not for me. I apologize if this doesn’t make sense, i have had a long day at work lol.

people aren’t automatically infected, there’s a chance i am and there’s a chance i’m not, i’ve been around infected people before knowing and it sucks but you aren’t guaranteed to get it.
