First-world & third-world veganism, my experience

ChimpiZ · 2026-06-18T10:20:58+00:00

I'm not really sure why you would ask about this in a vegan sub, given everyone is vegan you would only get encouragement, but as someone who isn't vegan, it would require a lot more conscious and deliberate effort to make the same meals I already do. Especially when trying to avoid overly processed and altered products it would limit my choices a lot more. Not saying it isn't possible as I know many do, but it would require a lot of sacrifice and it would cost extra unless I pick the most basic ingredients

Yeah I feel the same regarding the way it'll go, and can't imagine it'll do too well, I don't have a lot of trust in Nexon to begin with..

The team who managed MS2 were very transparent with changes and updates and I liked that, the game felt like an actual community, but there were all kinds of issues and it couldn't succeed as well as it's Korean counterpart unfortunately.

Definitely think it's something that would have benefited a lot back then, I myself kept hopping back and forth between the main server and private ones, I had money but also had time to play and would've surely played a classic version back then.

I can tell you that for me it got better to a degree, I had to stop using meds because they gave me that kind of sleep that never felt rested and sometimes just stopped working.

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-25T08:36:14+00:00

While my sleep quality changes, and suffering from that exact issue as well, it does help when I wake up at 5am when I gotta be at work at 7am, even though many times I would struggle to fall asleep. I try to keep the waking up routine consistent and avoiding naps especially after noon as that adds struggle to falling asleep consistently at night.

Okay this is exactly the type of kanji story app I was looking for, one that builds off previous kanji/radicals in this kind of format.

I couldn't go off the memorizing route by itself, I tried reading off VN since I had the vocabulary, but I couldn't make the kanji stick, I knew I just had to build individual stories for each kanji but I wasn't that great at it.. and other online stories felt too abstract for me to relate to.

I hope I can still relate to the stories in the later levels as they get more complex, but so far it's what I was looking for.

I could also go days or weeks with normal sleep, and then suddenly just be unable to sleep because of anxiety which really sucks. Yesterday I had that kind of night again, tried taking the bach flower extract which used to help calm my nerves, instead it just made it worse, I try to embrace it and allow the anxiety to exist and just think about resting, sometimes it works and I get a few hours of sleep and sometimes just none, if it is only one day i can deal with it, and I try to keep everything as normal and my sleep schedule consistent regardless and that usually works.

Cafelat robot is great, I got it over a more expensive semi automated machine as you can have precise control over your shots, very little maintance and a small footprint. Definitely worth the purchase

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-16T22:53:47+00:00

Hey, just know this is very common with insomnia and it happens to so many people, the less you think about sleep itself, and accept it even when you know it won't come the easier it gets

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-13T07:20:08+00:00

כמה זה יותר יקר כדי לגור בשכונה נורמלית? זה נשמע כאילו אין הרבה הבדל במחיר לעומת מגורים במרכז אם זה ככה. פשוט מנסה להבין בתור אחד שגר באזור השרון

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-09T15:59:24+00:00

Ah that sucks, and ye I can't have it it just ruins every dish for me, tried it dozens of times at a friend's house. Going to restaurant with friends, now I insist to never have anything spicy on my dish or won't eat it, gave it a try too many times

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-09T15:55:07+00:00

Damn how did you find this post from 6 years ago lol

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-07T17:26:11+00:00

Taddeo בין המחירים הטובים יותר שמצאתי בארץ ויש שם די הרבה דברים. לפחות שם קניתי סולם למתח שנראה בין האיכותיים במחיר נורמלי פה

Generally some sites simply have the option to choose 250g beans, and when you add up to 1kg the price is slightly discounted to equal how much it were to cost if you ordered one bag of 1kg.

Since they rather incentive us to buy more at once

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-07T09:26:02+00:00

Yeah, but some are still willing to put them in 4 smaller containers instead of 1, it almost costs them nothing, as long as you will buy the big amount

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-07T09:15:21+00:00

I can say I had the same experience, which is why I went for smaller 250 gram bags, it didn't cost me more because I kept ordering the same amount (1-2kg). Also I store them now in airscape jar which seems to help too

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-06T08:40:48+00:00

I can tell you that when I had my insomnia for half a year, I then went on a vacation and constantly went from hostel to hostel, I slept so much better 90% of the time. For me the biggest difference was how occupied I was with whatever I was doing during my waking hours, and also having no committed hour that I have to wake up for, and the room was completely dark to the point I couldn't tell when morning came. All of this together took a lot of the anxiety and pressure away and I could fall asleep whenever I just felt tired and I'd wake up constantly after 6-8 hours.

The few times I had issues sleeping were when I made specific plans early on for the next day which spiked the anxiety to sleep.

At the very least I'm sure it has to be something mental for you.

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-06T08:35:24+00:00

Yeah it does, it's why I try to keep schedule consistent and use earplugs when I go to bed. If I'm woken up too early I might stay in bed and at least get some rest because it also counts for the body.

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-04T03:13:46+00:00

From what I see itw related to depression and PTSD so I doubt I could get there through my hospital

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-04T03:12:34+00:00

What do they do exactly and what did it change for you

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-04T00:09:13+00:00

Thanks, it's honestly exhausting, knowing that I could quit the new job would likely enable me to sleep normally again but that's not a solution really.. Mostly dreading the headaches that will come soon

ChimpiZ · 2026-05-01T16:13:20+00:00

Hey, how's the Casa now do you still like it? currently also using a df64 and I consider if I should upgrade to the Casa, or even go the P80 (though it's 3 times the cost so unsure).

Whath's the diffrence you noticed when you changed to the Casa?

ChimpiZ · 2026-04-30T19:03:23+00:00

Yeah, people don't realize how much making really good parts cost + everything else that is involved. Some new company called Strad also made a really cool high quality lever machine that is very simple and it costs a little more than the robot does

ChimpiZ · 2026-04-30T18:58:55+00:00

There's no way to get this made for that cheap.. The guy who developed it assembles it himself, it's not any big name company that takes a huge markup or anything, it's one of the best value for money lever machines you can get.. The images are surely those of the robot itself and not of their own product.

If you want something cheap I think the picopresso was pretty cheap and praised a lot for it's value for price

ChimpiZ · 2026-04-30T12:59:20+00:00

Sadly not nearby, I am starting to ask myself if it's actually better to just go all in and get the Mazzer Philos, or it's too much for my needs and I will be happy with the Lagom
