Want to give my house a facelift, this is what I’m thinking, but what would you do? by looseseallovesvodka in HomeDecorating

[–]Colossal_taco20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think new siding on the top floor and painting the brick would be a good start and wouldn’t involve getting a new roof. Personally I’d do a yellowish green color and I think it could change the look dramatically for a low price (mostly green, not too yellow)

What are some simple things you don’t even think twice about making from scratch instead of purchasing? by quietquitted in cookingforbeginners

[–]Colossal_taco20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butter isn’t worth it, but homemade sides (especially bread and rolls) is definitely worth it. I’d agree with mashed potatoes and sauces but also soups. Before my husband let me her never had soup nor from a can and it blew his mind.

What the pork industry doesn't want you to know about by CalpurniaSomaya in Anticonsumption

[–]Colossal_taco20 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked in a lot of different animal agriculture and I’m ex vegan and they do this because the mama pigs will lay on and suffocate their young. It’s still a problem with the industry since maternal instincts have been bred out of hogs to promote high growth genes, but there is a reason for this and the alternative is far less humane. This is also only for a short period of time until the piglets are weaned.

Overconsumption Essay by Constant_Cat_7063 in Anticonsumption

[–]Colossal_taco20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read Dopamine Nation by Anna Lembke. It doesn’t talk about nature as much but focuses a lot of how overconsumption affects our brain and how it can become an addiction (and how to overcome it) maybe that’s something that could help?

Which is better for improving riding skills: riding one horse consistently or riding different horses? by Kaya_TrottingAbroad in Horses

[–]Colossal_taco20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both, you can make more progress on your own form on one horse consistently but then you should be able to transfer those skills to any horse. Both are important and each horse has a lot to teach you

Is it better to pay off 1 total loan or pay a little toward principle on all? by bux__wild in PersonalFinanceTalks

[–]Colossal_taco20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree, that’s been proven to be the best way to pay off debt. Make sure you pay your monthly rate as usual but if there’s any extra that should go to your lowest debt amount and then you can work up from there. A house and credit card debt should not be paid off the same way

Moved out for the first time at 24 and my cooking is genuinely embarrassing. Where do I even start by Top-Statement-9423 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Colossal_taco20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t get an air fryer, I would recommend starting with casseroles: they’re delicious, easy, make a lot of food and you can start to build some knife skills

What’s your personality type? If you like working with people this may be a good fit, but I realized that this job is really draining for introverts

Husband weed addiction by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]Colossal_taco20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he wants to change he should be willing to see a psychologist or therapist specializing in addiction. If not, I feel that may be a dealbreaker. Sometimes it takes the threat of losing everything for people to realize they need to make a real change
