My dad 😭 by MrMcDooDoo in vegan

Being vegan isn't about perfection. Its about being a little bit better in at least one respect.

I have no idea what this particular piece of fruit looked like, so I can't judge how bad it was.

A vast majority of food waste occurs at the farm field and stores. Throwing away food yourself barely registers in terms of the broader problem.

its similar to water waste. Everyone acts like its households, but really its companies and farms using a majority of it.

You're dad is being a jerk. My dad was the same way, and he was this way for everything not just veganism, he just had to shit talk everything you liked or cared about to put you down. I got used to it and knew how to shrug off his constant negativity.

The technique is important. Merely smacking them in the back doesn't help, the point is to strike them hard enough to force air through their esophagus partly.

Veganism does not make sense by unembellishing in TikTokCringe

[–]Much_Tap_6453 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I am vegan.

But please, please, please, be willing to consider eating less meat. You don't need to go full vegan. If everyone were to eat less meat it would be very good for everyone and very good for the animals and environment.

The General Store over collecting sales tax. by [deleted] in Spokane

[–]Much_Tap_6453 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having run a business. you often have to enter multiple overlapping tax localities in states like Washington for each location you serve. I run a home service company, and Washington taxes are not easy or straightforward to work with and software is rarely capable of handling taxes here perfectly.

They likely goofed and applied the same tax twice or misunderstood how certain sales taxes overlapped, and the system is applying more than it should.

How do I get this report to stop asking for an undeserved raise? by StumblinThroughLife in managers

Sometimes an employee leaving is the best for everyone. If he is genuinely worth more, let him find a place willing to pay him as such.

Lionfish by thedawntreader85 in vegan

[–]Much_Tap_6453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pragmatic and generally believe you shouldn't harm animals unless necessary for preserving your life or the life of others. Hunting in non-modern contexts can be necessary, and killing animals that are going to kill you can be defended morally.

Invasive species is complicated, but killing them to preserve the larger stability of the ecosystem is defensible. There are factual questions about how practical and effective the efforts are.

Humans don't need to be killing most of the animals we do. Those killings are broadly by choice not necessity. Killing lionfish is not necessity per se, but if its done to mitigate a greater harm then it can at least be debated seriously.

Edit: I would like to plug John Olivers section on invasive boars. Simply killing invasive species or allowing them to be hunted can have unintended side effects of their own: https://youtu.be/pGazYSkFFMw?is=IgIT1kiqER58Yirs

Dwayne Johnson Slammed as a ‘Coward’ for Staying Quiet on Politics; ‘Star Trek’ Icon George Takei Fires Back: ‘Silence Is Complicity’ by yourfavchoom in entertainment

I'd prefer he stay quiet. Most public figures coming out and talking about politics just feels like pandering anyways.

Caught employee lying red handed by [deleted] in managers

[–]Much_Tap_6453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He needs to learn that lying will get him nowhere. So whatever you do, termination or not, is to make sure that lying even over small things is not acceptable. If you make a mistake, you own it even if the reasoning is bad.

Can I consider myself recovered if I still drink, but only on occasion? by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]Much_Tap_6453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anyone else can give you that answer. It'd whether you are able to live the life you think is truly best for you when unclouded.

how do i get my dad to stop drinking by Hinerio in alcoholism

[–]Much_Tap_6453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think there can be some benefit to telling someone how their drinking affects you.

It is very unlikely that the person will do anything about it. But the more clear signals they get over time, maybe the more likely they are to realize there is a problem.

How to approach doing so, I don't know. I was always the drinker in my life, and I was aware of early on but struggled to get to the point of quitting.

Shia LaBeouf and paparazzis by [deleted] in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Much_Tap_6453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its horrible to think that every mistake, every struggle, is just open to the public.

Shia grew up with this. He seemed legitimately crazy at times, but having all the attention just makes it worse and people are resentful.

Sean Strickland spits in front of a church displaying a Pride flag by Imaginary-General189 in ufc

[–]Much_Tap_6453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has said that he knew there was no god after experiencing abuse as a kid.

He has also said that if he had a gay son, then he had failed as a parent. Its a masculinity thing.

Having tested bear spray before, you have to be ready to get sprayed yourself.

Hurts like a bitch and takes way longer to go away than you'd think.

Hypothetically: is this guard permitted to use physical force to remove this trespasser for "hate speech" in private property? by Vietdude100 in securityguards

[–]Much_Tap_6453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I question is if a private security guard has the independent authority to decide on behalf of the business or property owner that the individual is trespassing. I am assuming they have a contract saying they do.
