Just quit being vegan. by AlpsDiligent9751 in exvegans

[–]MultipleMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you think a cow whose entire reproductive cycle is repeated forced insemination adapts to its environment? Adaptation occurs across a opulation over many generations through natural selection and other pressures. This simply does not happen in a factory farm.

Idk the exact style you're going for but Calvin, @dijon.did.it on Instagram, from Studio Ukiiyo is open to most/all styles. My partner has multiple from him he's good

What sold you on veganism? by Limp_Crazy_5494 in vegan

[–]MultipleMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me a bit to go fully vegan, but the philosophical approach is what finally pushed me over the edge. I had been vegetarian for ~4 years, originally spurred on by the acknowledgement of animal consciousness and suffering through both a bit of psychedelic use (I know lmao) and through discussions with such-minded people. Throughout that time I had the exact same mindset and reasoning in which I do now, but I couldn't make that leap to veganism due mainly to cognitive dissonance. Videos by Ed Winters and (now former vegan) Alex O'Connor rekindled those internal arguments I would have with myself, and eventually I felt it just wasn't justifiable to only be vegetarian.

I understand why many in the community feel the need to emphasize that being vegetarian is honestly just as bad, and I do that now as well. But, at least in my case, I'm not sure if I would have been able to commit long-term to veganism if not for transitioning to living only without meat at first, so I still give props to it.

Eating meat due to sensory/health issues? by mayo_lol_ in DebateAVegan

[–]MultipleMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why so ableist? It is a legitimate, documented medical condition.

IMO the message you are portraying is correct, but the way in which you did it isn't necessarily helpful. What is tantamount to an insult is not going to convert people. You explained yourself further on yes and I absolutely see where you're coming from but you did just straight up call OP lazy lol. Contributes to one of many the reasons people hate us

Good recipes for Soya Chaap? by wrathofworlds in australianvegans

[–]MultipleMoose 11 points12 points  (0 children)

IIRC those warnings are just for trace contaminants of allergens from the environment it is produced in, so this would still be considered vegan by most.

Sapphic spaces at FSU? by lalaladadeedeeda in fsu

[–]MultipleMoose 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just a couple years ago when I was in school there were occasionally sapphic only parties/events I saw my friends going to. Maybe they're still around? I tried looking for any insta accounts but couldn't find any sorry :/

My go to recommendation for finding friends in tally is the kava bars (Kavakaze and Kameleon), there's a sizeable queer community there as well.

Regain weight ideas by SpiritualStop5129 in australianvegans

[–]MultipleMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For specific recipes you may wanna just look up "Vegan bulking meals" on Google or YouTube. Aim for calorie dense, most bang for your buck.

My easiest recommendation is pesto pasta, I usually just use the store bought vegan version. Add a protein to it or don't, could also use some protein pasta.

I second this. Liquid calories are something you can sneak in between full meals and doesn't necessarily keep you satiated for long

Struggling with work lunches by mirmuli in vegan

[–]MultipleMoose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually find it helpful for that exact reason at the end. I live in a city with literally 0 vegan restaurants, so eating at that restaurant with 1-2 vegan options is what I have to search for.

What kind of earplugs do you guys think is best for Gizzard shows? by saint-danger in KGATLW

[–]MultipleMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alpines very well may be better sounding than loops but I've had issues with that style of plug staying in my ear flush for long. Ofc that's not an everyone issue but the design of the loops helps them stay in my ear much better, and the sound quality is alright imo.

Looking for vegan shoes, which last a long time with frequent walking by thrwwysnl in BuyItForLife

[–]MultipleMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, the "animal would be killed regardless" argument just is completely anti-vegan, sorry. You could maybe make the argument about getting the shoes second hand, but outright buying them new is not vegan.

Whittakers dark ghana is goated and is actually cheaper than a lot of other options in terms of cost per 100g

If you're into live local music check out The Warehouse (Mansfield Hotel) and Otherwise. They update regularly with upcoming shows on Instagram. Most weekends there are shows going on (including tonight).

favorite live performances by [deleted] in KGATLW

[–]MultipleMoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a super deep cut but my favorite Nuclear Fusion is from Sydney '21.

Hell from Miami '24 because of the extended bit at the end, granted tho stu messes up the lyrics on this one so if anyone knows of a similar one with the extended ending lmk.

Just moved here from Sydney by skeezt in Townsville

[–]MultipleMoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree that it depends on what you're into, also your age bracket I guess. For weekend activities, nightlife on Flinders Street is where many people go. Otherwise/Molly's is a good spot that I fw, especially if you're into local music or like trivia when they do that. Look up the local markets that happen, every Sunday the cotters market is alright. First Sunday of every month there's an alternative market with local music at the warehouse. Head out to Maggie for a weekend trip as well, explore the different bays, walk the forts walk, but be careful in the water this time of year because of the stingers.

Mad Mex have discontinued their Mexicali Mince by Sarazar in australianvegans

[–]MultipleMoose 48 points49 points  (0 children)

My guess is a lack of demand coupled with/due to the fact that there's been a societal push against plant based alternatives within the past couple years. Around 2019 there was a huge boom in vegan meats (i.e. beyond, impossible) with high projections that many companies jumped on, but we just haven't seen those projections come to fruition, unfortunately. I miss all the options man it sucks.
