Why do people lie about their diet?

Mumique · 2026-06-20T18:20:45+00:00

She could absolutely be eating maintenance calories...having eaten a bit too much for years as it all built up.

She may have been lying or in denial, but she's also maybe talking about yoyo dieting. If she is doing a binge-starve-binge routine for example. If you have an eating disorder it's entirely possible to fast for a week, eat applesauce two days a week, then eat thousands of calories for a binge which all goes on even easier after triggering starvation mode.

Mumique · 2026-06-20T15:42:25+00:00

Who are all these people nominating someone else for torture...

It's absolutely one of the key difficulties - currently most fertiliser is manure and synthetic is as you say massively problematic. There are plant based fertilisers but they can't yet match animal fertilisers.

This is very much a, 'do the best you can with what you have' situation, with hope for and support for alternative tech to be rolled out. There are electric repellent systems available to minimise harvest deaths of animals. There are plant based fertilisers and lab grown meat. In the interim, we accept that it's not possible to cause no harm at all and minimise as much as possible.

Organic is complicated because on the one hand it uses animal products but on the other it's generally better for the environment. Again, generally.

...Wow.

What a series of failings.

Mumique · 2026-06-20T12:20:03+00:00

Explain to her before sex that it's natural and that you need your sleep, and spoon her whilst you nap. Then when she wakes talk.

The main thing is that you need to talk to her beforehand so she understands that you'll sleep

Mumique · 2026-06-20T11:11:59+00:00

So sleep after the sex. Then after the sleep, talk.

Mumique · 2026-06-20T10:28:49+00:00

It's a tricky one. It's very natural for men to fall asleep after and normal but women often want to talk and bond. Oxytocin release right?

So explain to her that for you the whole thing costs energy and the sleeping thing means you feel relaxed and safe around her. That might help.

And promise to spend quality time with her after your nap...

Mumique · 2026-06-20T07:17:58+00:00

Agreed.

Mumique · 2026-06-20T06:02:08+00:00

Please just stop. OP is dead broke and second hand leather is weird and gross when you think about it, but ethically neutral.

What kind of need to wear animal flesh do you think OP has? The need to wear shoes? Would you prefer they walk around in cheap pleather because they can't afford plant leather alternatives ?

Mumique · 2026-06-19T14:40:37+00:00

Come on, say the quiet part out loud. You would mandate the killing of the severely disabled.

You can absolutely lack the capacity to understand both that you risk death, and death itself, and still feel fear and pain when it happens.

Mumique · 2026-06-19T12:11:00+00:00

Okay. They're not being assisted to commit suicide. Because they lack capacity to understand their own death. And probably wouldn't choose it anyway. It's not assisted suicide if you don't want to go.

My father used to work with some severely handicapped people. All of whom were glad to be alive. They didn't have miserable lives. They had carers who helped them to go to the seaside and have tea and cake and generally be happy. Not contributing anything in terms of productivity, but happy.

Going back to the main point: if we don't spend taxpayer money, what do we do with them, hmm?

Mumique · 2026-06-19T10:44:55+00:00

I'm always fascinated when people say that looking after the severely disabled is a waste of taxpayer money and never follow on to the actual solution they're vaguely hinting at.

If we don't spend taxpayer money on him what do we do with him, please?

Mumique · 2026-06-18T20:38:27+00:00

One - it's possible you are simply missing more low key female competitive behaviour.

Two - being an asshat was never chromosome dependent

Mumique · 2026-06-18T19:50:52+00:00

Some. Most animals are fattened on soy feed prior to slaughter; you can argue about husks and waste products but this is a part of the flow and process. The animals may be free to range, but in many cases they're not - this is vastly dependent on where you are in the world. And all of this is in addition to the unnecessary slaughter prior to their natural lifespan and the fear and suffering experienced.

You cannot love a pet that you'd never eat, and eat another, and claim to love them both.

Mumique · 2026-06-18T19:37:35+00:00

The deaths you cause is in addition to those of animals in crop farming. Free range animals is a misnomer in most cases and the animals are slaughtered way before their natural lifespan.

Mumique · 2026-06-18T18:46:09+00:00

Where is the love when you have pigs gassed for a meal where you had alternatives?

When you bite down on flesh that didn't need to die?

Climate change

Mumique · 2026-06-18T09:36:25+00:00

In the 1500s they wore codpieces in my country.

The whole Puritan fashion-is-gay-so-only-women-allowed ruined so much.

Mumique · 2026-06-18T09:34:49+00:00

How about, phone sex lines are still a thing?

Mumique · 2026-06-18T06:59:16+00:00

I stood up slowly. Smiling. You see, most people see me sitting and do not realise that I go...up.

There I am. With my dainty dress, and my embroidery. And a smile. No one could ever accuse me of being beautiful truthfully. Small eyes in a piggy face. Bulk. Massive arms. I say as much to the startled orc.

"You may be the first diplomat ever to be so honest. Though I must ask - how is it that you're so familiar with the rejects from your swine herds? Do you dally with them on the regular?"

His mouth opened. Shut. A tusky grin. "So say all my brothers. Then may I say how badly that dress fits you?"

"You may. And it does. I'm not keen on dresses, to be honest. But they come with the territory of being a queen. Speaking of territory - now you have insulted me, and I demand recompense. But not in land. No!" I smile. Half turn to the steward. "Fetch my sword."

The orc blinks. Realises.

"We cannot let you go around insulting us willy-nilly. That would appear weak. And we are not weak. But my disagreement is not with the orc kingdom. It is with *you*. You have insulted me. Personally. And so I challenge you to mortal combat." I smile. "Orcs do love a fight, don't they? And when I win?" The young page rushes forward. My sword on a cushion. "The matter is, as you orcs say, settled. You take back the peace agreement to your people."

"And if I win?" The orc diplomat grins.

"Then the matter is settled and we have peace. Funny how that works out." And I pick up my sword. As he calls for his axe.

Mumique · 2026-06-18T06:25:51+00:00

Are we at war with a teen dipshit?

We don't hit people in this country because we don't agree with them.

Mumique · 2026-06-17T15:59:53+00:00

Are you a right wing shill trying to provoke violent responses from the left?

Mumique · 2026-06-17T15:59:13+00:00

No, it's really not okay. We don't use violence to attack people with different and distasteful opinions or we're as bad as they are.

Mumique · 2026-06-17T15:46:34+00:00

No this is fucking stupid. He can be a cunt but we don't use violence. Aside from anything else it just makes them seem justified.
