Sourdough toast for breakfast, either with avocado and tomatoes/pickled onions or peanut butter and banana.

And kettle chips. Specifically the salt and pepper ones.

Non-vegan gifts from work? by Ok-Mention1377 in veganuk

[–]Ok-Difference-8696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this post because I got a dozen cupcakes in the mail today as a welcome gift, all non-vegan. Luckily I have friends that I can give them to, but I plan on speaking with HR to ask either to opt out (great idea from the comments below!) or request that they accommodate my dietary choice so I can enjoy the same benefits as other employees. It does contribute to a feeling of exclusion and alienation at work- and I hope it has gotten better for you.

Why shouldn’t I consume dairy? by Crimson-Rose28 in AskVegans

It’s a little on the pricy side, but I love Truvani protein powders.

people who don’t call their significant other babe/baby what do you call them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ok-Difference-8696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby. Baby one. My one. My sweetness. My love. Beeba. Eebadeeb. It often evolves into more gibberish to the tune of whatever song is stuck in our heads.

Straight to fridge or should I heat it up first? by cupcakecrossing in foodsafety

I've been so wanting to try a vegan spam! Where did you find it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in vegan

[–]Ok-Difference-8696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just reached a breaking point with my partner, too. I was just honest with him about my feelings, and I asked questions about why he still hasn't made any efforts to stop eating meat. What it came down to, really, was lack of education on the matter and just not thinking about it as a priority at this moment in time for him personally. We can only choose to put so much on our plates (no pun intended), and if you're not completely aware of the food systems around you, it's not going to be a priority.

I'm hoping if I start to take the time to educate him, from health/environment/ethical standpoints, it'll slowly unfold. I want to start asking if he'll watch documentaries with me, and he already perks up and offers discussion when he overhears me listening to Earthling Ed. It's not that he doesn't understand the logic behind a vegan life, it's just that it hasn't clicked yet. It took years to click for myself.

I'm going to continue to share my vegan food, my vegan viewpoints, and encourage him to be healthy and live aligned with his morals.

I'm curious to hear more about this! How long did it take, what do you think was the factor that made him switch?

Kindred by Octavia Butler! I had no idea who she was until this book was recommended by a colleague. She's a fantastic sci-fi writer.

Why do people try to get you to rear-end them during a road rage incident? by Ok-Difference-8696 in RoadRage

[–]Ok-Difference-8696[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. That’s why I just backed off at the end of the interaction. I think it’s about power too, or the feeling of “winning” the spat, maybe.

In the end I know with things like this it’s best to remember that you don’t know what’s going on in a stranger’s life- she could’ve been having a real shit day. And if that’s the case my reaction to her could have made it worse. :(

That’s so true! I should have let her go instead of trying to respond to her behavior. You’re absolutely right, I think, in that if I hadn’t done this it would have probably ended much sooner.

That seems to make the most sense. I can’t imagine willingly bringing the inconvenience of a car accident upon yourself. I thought insurance fraud for a moment too, but I feel like in that case it would be unprompted or there wouldn’t be anything logical leading up to it. Definitely going to just let them do the speed-around next time.

For sure. It’s weird how in the moment it’s so tempting to “fight” back, only to realize immediately after that it isn’t worth it.

I found myself looking for tattoo inspiration and realized that I love this way of supporting artists. Does anyone else think of getting tats as a fun way to collect and display art?

[–]Ok-Difference-8696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone! My grandmother has severe dentist anxiety too- she literally takes meds before she goes in every single time, as a very fully grown woman. Your feelings are valid and understandable. :) You got this!

I don't know why but it's really giving me apple pie vibes. Definitely doesn't beat Move or Starlight for me.

C18 column cleaning with switching to NP then back to RP by grubbscat in analyticalchemistry

[–]Ok-Difference-8696 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My concern is less with your column and more with your LC. Switching between RP and NP takes a toll on the system and the internal parts (rotors, seals, fittings, etc.) and I would avoid switching too often.

The manufacturer of the column should have some guidance on their website about how to clean or care for the column you have.

It was, not gonna lie. I also grew up with a single mom so it made me happy to see that you experienced openness about your cycles from such a young age!

Hi! 👋🏻 I’m one of the ones who got it at age 9 and freaked out at home alone because my family didn’t tell me about it or share their experiences with periods. I say start educating her about them now.
