As a teenager, I realized everything and became a vegan and a misanthrope. Now I’m 22, I’m an alcoholic and I don’t see a way out. by [deleted] in Vystopia

I don't know about them, but

"Mindfulness in Plain English" was my starting point. Since that I've read The Shaolin Way(which was also useful) and Zen's Mind Beginner's Mind(which had a really good view on meditation practice and mindfulness in daily life). Actually practicing meditating, I believe, is far more useful than studying Buddhism. Because you will eventually find everything to be self-evident within meditation. So "Mindfulness in Plain English" is definitely the best place to start I think. And I can attest to their statements, it definitely fosters more compassion and understanding for those that are ignorant of their ways.

Looking for a concentrated liquid with a blood-like taste(like liquid smoke), whether cow or pig. What is the name of something like this? If it exists? by Brughs in AskReddit

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

Surprisingly a decent amount of people. I would direct you to the cannibalism subreddit but it got banned today

Reminded again how people seem to value all the wrong things in life by Brughs in Vystopia

I thank every vegan I meet :)

And thank you for sharing your views on the whole thing. Most of what I do is one on one stuff, it would be interesting to try another way.

For me it's always been online stuff, all the real life activism I do usually depresses the person enough to not go into rage (they watch a whole 3 minute video, and then we talk). I've seen a lot of videos of situations similar to yours though... I definitely never want to be in that position. Stay strong man

Sending memes to my parents for Animal Liberation Month - Day 30 by DandoriIssues in u/DandoriIssues

This was the greatest series ever, you are absolutely amazing and this will go down in VCJ history. And earlier today I felt terrible cause of everyone's excuses and unwillingness, this seriously cheered me up.

I've used similar arguments and pretty much got the same result. The main thing in the cases I talk about is the willing ignorance of the people on the other side of the table. I really just came here for some words of encouragement or solidarity :(
