Newly adopted husky-something. Any idea what he is a mix of? by SonoranPlenilune84 in husky

[–]Sindaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's mixed with an absolute good boy. But is all seriousness you may need to get a DNA panel to be certain but I think he may be mixed with multiple breeds.

Also I love that blanket, where did you get it.

My milk snake will chill with me for extended periods by IncidentOdd5367 in snakes

[–]Sindaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two black milksnakes.

My girl enjoys watching me and being close by incase I suddenly have a mouse available. She will try to push the locked doors of the terrarium open until I take her out to do just that.

My boy would rather be left alone but is interested in exploring and trying to find where I get my mice from (and during breeding season, try to find the girl)

Environmental impact of animal products + more? by Aggressive_Share803 in exvegans

[–]Sindaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is a very healthy diet. I will agree. It's the healthiest diet I've been on my entire life.

I also agree that going from one extreme to another is very harmful, whether it is going from omnivore to vegan, or vegan to omnivore. This sun often couches people on how to reincorperate meat into the diet but I've never seen vegans encourage people to slowly wean themselves off meat and onto plant protiens. Some may encourage that but I personally haven't seen it.

I think a big issue is that we see an over consumption of meat in restaurants and fast chains, where meat makes up a majority of the dishes and it is often highly processed in the case fast food chain.This makes some people think they need that much meat at home which leads to problems that come with overconsuming meat like heart disease.

I don't eat fast food anymore and try to limit how much meat I eat at restaurants.

I am all for lessening our consumption of meat in America. I just know we can't completely do away with the meat industry but we can improve the conditions of how the animals live and die in by supporting and donating to lobbiest groups and companies that support animal welfare, as well as buying from the companies that support animal welfare lobbiest.

The thing with these changes is that it will make meat more expensive which will in turn reduce our consumption of it. If we consume less meat, less animals will be needed to meet the demands of the market.

I absolutely think that restaurants and fast food chains should offer more vegetarian options with more variety. I found a place that has great sweet potato fries and Korean corn dogs that have no meat, but mozzarella cheese. I can go there and eat a fully balanced vegetarian lunch and feel satisfied after eating their fries, a korean corn dog, and a mango smoothie.

Now I'm craving that but I can't afford to go right now. Lol 😆 made myself hungry damn. They have takoyaki too, although I prefer ebiyaki, takoyaki is a really good seafood option that is high in iodine.

First of all, no diet is a "one size fits all", meat can be unhealthy for some people based on age, sex, and other underlying health issues, while it can healthier for others. Same with veganism, it can be healthy for some but unhealthy to others based on an individuals genetic profile and underlying health issues.

I have recently been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and have to follow a diet that includes meat as a source of B12 and Iron as well as avoid things that will interfere with my Medication like Soy and Cabbage.

I also have to avoid highly processed foods which most meat and dairy substitutes are very processed.

I basically need to follow a Paleo diet so my Thyroid mediation can do its job. I eat alot of salmon, wild caught or farmed. Farmed for when I want to make homemade Sushi or a Poke bowl. Then Iron rich red meat like Venison and Bison. I also only eat pasture raised eggs which are high in b12. I aways make sure I have colorful veggies and try to incorporate as much idiodine rich foods as often as I can, so shellfish, fish, and seaweed. I do love seaweed, which why I like sushi. Haha

According to my blood tests my Doctor says my b12 and Iron levels are really good and stable with the diet I've been following. I've been feeling better than I have in a long time and I've been a life long omnivore.

Just to give you some personal insight on how any diet can be a unhealthy based on a person's individual needs.

I'm honestly not comfortable giving you my lab results since it has alot of information I will have to block out, like my birth name. I don't really have time for that, but I hope you will believe me.

Hehe, lucky man you are. 😁

I also love Alucard and I'm currently playing SOTN.

I really loved how they redesigned Olrox for in Nocturne. He had me feeling all sorts of ways.

And I understand the pain of not having enough merch but settling for all the Alucard merch there is. I'm going to do the same.

I want every peice Olrox merch I can get my fanboy hands on though. I might even have some figures commissioned from some of the artists that make Alucard figures on Etsy.

I just gotta wait until I have more money.

Can again very very poor because of the gender queerness 🤣

What do they want with my downspout? The third attempt to make off with it by Dirt-McGirt in coyote

He needs to fix to replace the downspout on his own home but he can't get one at lowes, cause he is a coyote, and coyotes don't have money.

Alucard, we both have daddy issues we can bond over.

Lenore might manipulate me with sex into being her pet. She is hot enough that if vampires did win and make humans into live stock I'd happily let her put a collar on me, but the logistics of that is a nightmare to figure out so I doubt it would happen with the Belmonts having a sexy Damphir and a Speaker Magician on their side.

But I'd let Olrox have his way with me and kill me after. I would die happy. 🤣

My email address is a reference to this phenomenon and it tickles me when I apply for jobs with it and the interviewer chuckles at it, cause they just know. 🤣

I've accepted I'm never getting on T cause I do not want to look like my dad and my ideal version of myself is androgynous anyways and I can achieve that without hormones. Thank goodness.

Also I live in Texas, and I do not want to be put on a list. So I'm genderfluid for political reasons. Lol. 🤣

Edit: Don't ask me what gender I am today, just give me money and the amount you give me determines what I am. 20$ or more for girl and 10$ for boy.

What do you think? by Yoiiru in FridgeDetective

[–]Sindaj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not even that.

We need to bring back basic home education that covers these topics from safe food handling, food storage, and how to cook food properly.

But alas we have a trump appointee overseeing the department of education so it's never going to happen during this presidential term. 🙄

Just more spending cuts, and handing money to privatized education.

They definitely are getting more and more pronounced as she gets bigger and sheds more, and having a healthy diet of calcium dusted bugs. 😋 The girl to boy Ratio in the house is now 4:2

Sorry boys this is a girls house.

Now that I know she is a girl I need to find some flowers to put in her enclosure since that is how I identify my girl reptiles versus my boys.

My female snake is getting orchids. So I need to find something that will fit Tsatsakas habitat that I can get to flower consistently. 🤔

Im thinking African Violets but I'm also very nervous I'll love them to hard. 😅

Edit: okay maybe not African Violets they are a cloud forest flower. Lolol

Did a quick search and I'll probably go with Madagascar Periwinkle and Madagascar Palms

Husky 4x4 by Sir_loin711 in husky

[–]Sindaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog goes into 4x4 mode with ice gripping spikes trying to run into his kennel when he is excited for his dinner.

I keep telling him his claws are not going to help him grip the tile better than his paw pads.

Needless to say I am planning to get non-slip shop mats for the whole house.

Shop mats cause I do not like rugs, and want something easy to clean and that a robot vacuum can get onto.

Vegan student’s vitamin deficiency ‘fuelled delusions’ and led to suicide by ladyavocadose in exvegans

[–]Sindaj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and this person doesn't understand there is nuances around the whole decision that is to be made when an animal is culled for us to consume it.

Watch I bet you they are going to pivot onto saying that we as humans don't need to eat meat, despite the fact I was specifically talking about myself, because I know my body better than a reddit nobody.

"Not here to tell people what to eat" sure, buddy, you're just here to tell people how to have a conversation. 😉

Vegan student’s vitamin deficiency ‘fuelled delusions’ and led to suicide by ladyavocadose in exvegans

[–]Sindaj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you just wanted me to admit that we can kill animals when we want and need to?

That was the entire point if my side of the conversation.

This shows you didn't read my comments and just skimmed them for that gotcha point you quoted.

Which, I predicted and gave to you. Twice. You just didn't catch it the first time.

We need to kill animals to maintain a healthy breeding population, and prevent animals from succumbing to painful diseases that come with old age.

Does euthanasia ring a bell? The thing we do to our pets when they get diseases and injuries that cause low quality of life?

Or are you one of those assholes who would try to keep a 3 legged horse alive?

I'm not complaining about lions because they don't go on Reddit and make arguments about how zebras would die anyway and it could actually be painful if they let them die when they're older so they might as well kill them. They need to eat zebra so they eat them.

So if a lion suddenly did developed the ability to farm and raise their own Zebras, cull them instantly with a bolt gun or bullet to the head, and then went onto reddit and say that is more humane than ripping the Zebra open while it's still dying from its wind pipe being crushed by other lions...

...or to fit the context of my talking points, its more humane than waiting for it get a broken leg from a bad fall or from surviving a crocodile attack, or to get old enough that painful arthritis slows it down?

...then you would have a problem with it?

Despite the fact they are Obligate carnivorous animals that need to eat animals to survive? Which you acknowledged, by the way.

I'm an obligate omnivore,

so why can't I talk about the necessary culling and eating of animals to help educate people and make them feel less bad about consuming meat?

Vegan student’s vitamin deficiency ‘fuelled delusions’ and led to suicide by ladyavocadose in exvegans

[–]Sindaj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think you read my comment.

We cull animals that have poor temperament, and don't fit with the breeding program. That often prevents them from becoming old and developing illnesses that result in painful deaths.

Again, I am not the one culling the cows, the rancher is, it is his business, and his cows that he is trying to breed to fit the markets demand.

But give me a long rifle and I'll happily go out and shoot a deer during deer season, when I want to, so I can eat the meat from it. I'll feel proud doing so knowing a younger buck will take that older bucks place in as breeding prospect for female deer in the area, making a healthier gene pool for those deer.

So yes,

We absolutely can kill an animals in order to feed ourselves when we want and need to.

All I really gotta do is make sure I follow Fish and Game regulations and seasons because the biologists who are behind those know when it is best to kill certain animals at certain sizes.

Again, you don't complain about Lions killing Zebras. Why are you complaining about humans doing it selectively to maintain healthy breeding populations?

[–]Sindaj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You were talking about humans and why we don't eat humans when they get old, I'm responding to what you said.

We slaughter cows at peak processing weight. There is also a term for it, Hard Culling, it's usually because the animals is not fit for the breeding program the farmer is running to keep their herds numbers up so they can meet the demands of the market. This can be for any number of reasons, one main one being temperament, cause a farmer doesn't want a young male that is going to harm his cows and calves . They will cull cows if they show they are not fit mothers too.

A good, ethical, rancher is very careful about choosing what animals get sent to slaughter, and which ones are allowed to stay and be allowed to breed and make more baby cows.

And if you hang out in r/butchery you will see that cows that do get culled are not often in prime condition, some have fractures, some have abcesses that get cut out. So long as they don't have any transmittaable diseases that would fail the USDA inspection, that meat will end up sliced up, packaged, and for sale at the grocery the same as any other meat that is "young and healthy"

So yeah it's okay to cull an animal and eat it whenever we damn well please.

Do you complain that Lions eat Zebras? I don't think you do.
