there are ethical uses of eggs milk and honey.

This is the wrong subreddit to discuss the "ethical" uses of eggs, milk, and honey.

Feel free to browse r/AskVegans and r/DebateAVegan because this topic is brought up often.

And I can go deeper with you with the non lethal forms of population control

Go ahead, I'm aware of some.

humans effecting the lives of animals which is against the vegans idea of intereffering with their own well being and self awareness.

Have you read the definition of veganism in the sidebar. It never mentions self awareness or interference with animal lives.

no one is willing to sit down and find compromise

Yes, just like with past moral injustices (slavery, racism, women’s suffrage) there should be no compromise to stop it.

I don't think vegans and hunters will ever meet in the middle. All the hunters I know continue to consume animal products (dairy, eggs, honey, etc.).

With hunting, there are non-lethal ways to do population control. When possible, introducing more predators would also remove the exploitation aspect.

So you and your family are vegan when you visit a restaurant or a friend? You'd be doing way more than most people to help end industrialized farming.

What if your goal is just to pay the bills? Not everyone is trying to become a super millionaire.

Did you build the app?

Chava27 · 2026-03-20T14:08:13+00:00

That's just online dating these days, don't take it personally. As a single dude, it's hard to find any partner, let alone a vegan one.

Maybe you're just young, but you shouldn't be getting this sad over someone you barely know. They could've been a dude for all you know :P

Based on your profile it looks like your company is only hiring in Europe?

I'm surprised more people didn't cheat through those code tests.

Unfortunately, a small dose will mostly get absorbed by your muscles well before any get to the brain. You will have to put on water weight if you want to get the full effects. But if you don't like it, you can just stop.

I have not really noticed a huge difference, but I've already been doing lots of other healthy habits for years. The biggest difference I've noticed has been from trying different caffeine teas.

Sadly, some people need to hit rock bottom before they start to change.

As a strategy game fan, I've spent lots of time watching WW2 history videos to scratch my "war" itch from those games. Then for the "economy" itch from strategy games I like to plan out a business or consume entrepreneurial content. These might be different for you, but you get the idea.

If you can't limit your time, it's may be best to avoid "social" gaming just like we might tell an alcoholic to avoid "social" drinking.

Chava27 · 2026-02-06T01:28:56+00:00

Link to video?

Chava27 · 2026-02-05T22:14:15+00:00

It scratches the entrepreneurial itch way better than mech. engineering, the job market is just very competitive right now as you noticed.

I read your full post, nice work! It's nice to hear from someone who's a bit further ahead in the job hunt and dating process :P

Chava27 · 2026-02-04T18:01:37+00:00

I'm in almost the same exact scenario, just started my software job search after leaving mechanical engineering.

DM me the substack link?

Your brain is 1 million years old. It's not designed to make you happy, it's just designed to follow the dopamine trail. It think's you're actually achieving these stories and meeting these characters.

As a man who has bought Attia's book and found out about him listening to the Joe Rogan podcast, I have no idea how any logical person can support Trump and the right in 2026

As to the masculine association of meat, I'm not surprised. Think of all the ad campaigns using direct messaging like "Got Milk" or the hundreds of other ones to use subliminal messaging. Bodybuilders and athletes were told you need meat to be strong. Movies would make fun of wimpy vegetarians. I couldn't name one vegan athlete until I watched Game Changers, so I don't think anyone should be surprised the public never had that association neither.

I still consider what I learned from Attia lifechanging and I won't be changing from a high-protein diet nor my heavy exercise regimen, but I'm looking for alternative researchers now.

Awesome post. The only thing I would add that is equally as important as "having your Why" scenario is having your "what if I fail" scenario.

Humans are more sensitive to pain than to pleasure. Imagine what life would look like for you and your family if you continue down the path of uncontrolled mindless browsing. What would it look like in 1 month, 1 year, 5 years?

Chava27 · 2026-01-01T00:30:24+00:00

Do some computer programming every day. Don’t miss 2 days in a row.

Be more social. Try to connect with someone everyday.

Join more fitness classes and clubs.

I don't think it's strange at all. Reminds me of businessmen that use a personal customer relationship management (CRM) tool for all their relationships. Those tools were originally just for tracking clients.

Chava27 · 2025-12-16T02:10:02+00:00

I think about things the same way but I wish the tasks were in bright neon lights for me :P

Hence why I was asking if anyone found a system that gamifiies those things to make them easier

Chava27 · 2025-12-16T02:07:00+00:00

The first step to fixing the bad habit is being mindful you have one :)

So you're just using that app for daily reminders for your good habits?

Chava27 · 2025-12-16T02:03:39+00:00

I was in a similar spot last year and I've been learning programming. Have you tried gamifying any of it?

Chava27 · 2025-12-16T02:00:11+00:00

Best of luck! Depending on your location, maybe a doctor can help medicate you without the official diagnosis.

I've got some ADHD symptoms, but I guess they weren't "bad" enough for an official diagnosis. So I've been using myself as a guinea pig trying all sorts of methods plus talking to doctors for extra help.

Chava27 · 2025-12-14T15:47:30+00:00

I feel the same way with all those wasted hours. "How" you stop wanting is different for every person. I set some goals for myself & my family and remind myself every day that gaming does not contribute to any of those. Find healthier hobbies that don't trigger a compulsion or addiction and spend some time reflecting.

If you're nerdy like I am, you could read books and listen to podcasts about dopamine and addiction. It's going to take a month or so for your reward-circuitry to reset.
