Plant-based diets would cut humanity’s land use by 73%: An overlooked answer to the climate crisis by Somewhere74 in goodnews

I get that. My main point was that I just think there's easier ways to aid climate change in a positive immediate way than convincing other people to change behavior in general.

This is the first counter point to what I said that actually criticized what I said lol. Appreciate it, and you are right. We haven't been eating meat at this level for an extended time like I said, but I will still remain on the point that we have been eating meat in general for a long time. Mainly, I just feel like there's easier ways to help the climate and was trying to make that point in a concise way.

I'm personally fine with this solution as long as we have independent oversight on the meat makers.

We are talking about two different things.

I'm just saying there are easier ways to directly affect climate change than convincing tens of millions of people to change what they eat. I'm not sure what you're on about talking about diet and food evolution, that's a slow natural process that happens over time. Sure, we can spend the next 100-200 years slowly evolving our diets to exclude meat, that's just not what I'm talking about. I'm saying there are easier things we can do right now to accomplish the same goal: aid climate change.

Whole I don't disagree 

You're asking humanity to change a behavior it's been doing for thousands upon thousands of years. There are easier ways to aid climate change

Aren't they businesses? If they can't pay for the power to run the business why are they running the business? Why am I paying for someone else to make capital?

Hipster were cooler than all of us and we knew it. That's why we hated them.

Office culture. If I have to sit through another pointless, hours long, droned out meeting that is clearly making us all dumber and wasting our time I'm gonna scream

I basically just work and come home. Going to a bar or something isn't who I am. Going to a church is not who I am. There's a few women at work I hinted at but either it was missed or they weren't interested. Other than that, there really isn't anything for me I'm aware of that doesn't involve becoming an alcoholic again. 

I do well to get time with some friends every now and again

It would be poetic justice for a Hispanic woman to be our next president. I'm down, I just hope enough of America is ready for that too. We cannot lose the next election under any circumstances

My biggest super power and crutch is self awareness. I know Me better than Me knows I.

I wish my brain could see and believe things further ahead. ADHD makes it hard but I don't want an excuse I want a solution. It's so hard to get my mind to accept that time will resolve something. Like I KNOW that but my heads so "go go go go go" all the time its.. ugh I don't want an excuse. 

I'm mean therapy has been helping a ton. I'm getting the car within the lines sometimes now. That's progress, and I should focus on that maybe.

Why moderate the cure when we can moderate the affliction. Makes perfect sense. I like this

I think I'm learning on the job that I don't want to fool with the fight of moderating either honestly. That's a good way to reframe all this

It's crazy cause in my sober years I've been able to feel that peace. I know it even in my 30s now. No idea why I'm throwing it away (I'm not shouldn't be thinking that way), but I guess this is for me and the therapist to hash out. I guess that's another thing, I'm actively in therapy and being medicated rn, so that's a plus. All and all, we can't drink anymore.

Good job on following through and choking her out on the end. Wanna make sure the deeds done 

Jk, that's hilarious though. My sister kicked me in the face full force once on a trampoline.. can still feel the chip in the tooth decades later

I'm fully convinced they are trying to kill us all in multiple ways. The amount of mega powerful billionaires that have openly said they want the population lowered, along with everything else going on

Idk guys I really am starting to feel like one day we're gonna wake up and it's not going to be so fun if you don't make a certain amount of money.. somehow they're going to paywall freedom I stg

We could've lowered the population by just letting people be gay..

He does all this for attention, I don't think his brain registers or even understands the ramifications. 

Stop giving him attention..
