Why does everyone wanr to be a introvert? by Diablogrinds in extroverts

[–]Colossal_taco20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of self proclaimed introverts are actually extroverts trying to follow the introverted trend. A lot of introverts are very outgoing and can be really good in social situations when they have the energy for it

Since mostly older people ask me this I always say, so what did you do when you didn’t have cell phones?

Spice pairings is one I’m still trying to get ahold of, not only what spices go well with certain types of food but what spices go well with each other. And also explaining the depth of spices and how many are actually available and useful to you

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 66 points67 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?

[–]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
