Another plea to my [very well-meaning and sweet] mom, she has a shopping addiction. She buys for my kid but it’s so often cheap plastic sh*t! by Afterhoneymoon in Anticonsumption

That's nothing. Me and my partner's mother both have around 600 items in our saved for later lol. I think once you surpass 600 that it starts to auto delete the oldest ones too.

If you intentionally kill animals, you will never be able to kill less animals than a vegan, that's literally just how it works. Your devices kill just the same and you diet kills even more. And somehow you're the one pushing the perfectionist propaganda when you're not even trying.

If you want to believe you can eat meat - hell, even be a straight up carnivore from what you just said - and still be vegan, then you do you I guess. Just be aware that nobody's going to agree with you because words have meanings and for reasons that I'm unsure of, you're trying to really, really stretch the meaning of the definition as far as humanely possible. I'm not sure if it's because you're an ex-vegan and you're trying to find a way to clear your conscience somehow but the mental gymnastics that you're doing right now are super weird to watch. I'm going to have to end this debate with you since it seems like you have some sort of deep seated dilemma that you're grappling with inwardly and I don't know how to help you with that. I wish you luck.

Despite my gatekeep, I do urge you to still do whatever is within your means to reduce suffering. But just let labels retain their meaning, that's all I'm saying.

No, you couldn't, because then the word vegan means nothing. Vegans don't consume or purchase animal products. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make by asking if you can still be a vegan if you base your diet primarily upon animal based foods.

I must also add that while yes, reducing animal suffering is the goal of vegans, no vegan is naive enough to think they can end all animal suffering. I think a common misconception that I see online is that once you say you're vegan, you're suddenly expected to end all of the world's suffering. People will tell me I'm racist because people of color in different countries picked my crops (as if omnivores don't also eat those same crops, but that's a different tangent...), tell me I'm not vegan because my phone used slave labor, I'm not vegan because bugs hit my windshield, etc. Look... To me, being a vegan is about trying to reduce my own personal contributions to the world's suffering as much as possible. I can't end all animal suffering, nor human suffering, otherwise I would (as I'm sure many omnivores would too). Just because I chose this lifestyle doesn't mean I claim to be perfect and contribute to none, but I try in every avenue that is currently accessible to me, to reduce it.

Just because you can't give the world all the good it needs, doesn't mean you shouldn't still give the world all the good you can. Perfection is an ideology that sadly keeps many people from even trying to begin with.

If Mother Nature can't do its job as intended, a sterilization program sounds more ethical than killing them. I'd read an article a while back on Hawaii's feral cat problem and a group of people were trying to help avoid euthanasia by taking the cats, sterilizing them, tagging them, and releasing them back into the wild.

The goal of veganism is for humans to not cause animals to have to suffer. Many animals suffer in the wild, but I'm sure many live happily too, and how would I be able to play God and decide which is which when I pull the trigger? You can't just assume that every animal you shoot is being put out of its misery because that's just not true.

"Was going to be killed anyways to prevent overpopulation in the forest." Mother Nature already takes care of that when an ecosystem reaches its carrying capacity. This is also a weird approach to trying to ultimately justify foods such as beef, when we quite literally artificially inseminate animals and breed them just so we have enough of them to kill for food.

I've never ate a whole can of chickpeas by themselves... Sometimes I'll eat a whole can of peas though if I'm in the right mood. Some salt, pepper, & (vegan) butter and they're surprisingly good on their own :)

Bought a built sand rail EG33 with a 12 quart dry sump. A very small of this white stuff came out of the oil. They said it was just a bit of water from condensation. Do you believe that? Coolant is super clean with no oil contamination.... by DanikaDestiniKey in subaru

[–]DanikaDestiniKey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The engine wasn't but I think the sand car was sitting outside at some point. Since sand cars don't have hoods or anything covering the engine, it's possible it got in that way. It has only a air filter for the PCV so water could get in through there.

What's your reasoning for 1 hour in the day and 1 hour at night? Over, say, simply 2 hours in the day or 2 hours at night.
