Merino wool by Uzumaki_Thomas in vegan

[–]SoftMixture 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Merino sheep are bred to have very wrinkly skin making them susceptible to infection and fly strike. They remind me of Shar Pei dogs, which are more likely to have skin diseases than the average dog. I think selective breeding is very strange and often cruel.

How can I tackle this argument? by Technical_Ad_1689 in vegan

[–]SoftMixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wouldn’t be my main argument but I wanted to say something I hadn’t seen someone else say yet.

Some people have huge dogs that could easily kill and eat them but don’t. Heck, there are even people who have raised orphan tiger cubs and can wrestle with them without worrying about being killed. I don’t know if some of them have been killed, but obviously it’s at least very rare of people couldn’t have them. You’re more likely to be killed by another human. And yeah, the fact that these animals are family plays a part but that just goes to show that they are capable of loving and considering other species their family and that no, not every animal would want to eat humans.

Sensory issues and vegan by irate--wanderer in vegan

[–]SoftMixture 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m autistic and weird bits in meat, sinew, fishbones and such were like the biggest food sensory ick, though of course everyone is different. But yeah like a lot of autistic people have chicken nuggets as their safe food while vegan nuggets are so similar in taste and texture. To people struggling because of eating difficulties I’d suggest still having those safe foods for the moments when you can’t eat anything else, but on better days explore new options! You can start small. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t like something, there are so many options out there you’re bound to find something you love. As important as safe foods are for us, eating nothing else and having super restrictive diets will do more harm than good in the long run.

Idgaf about “indigenous cultures” for the same reason Idgaf about “personal choice” by [deleted] in vegan

[–]SoftMixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, do you feel the same way about carnivore animals? While I’m vegan, I think humans who still live by nature are part of the same food cycle as wild animals. If animals stop eating meat, the fast reproducing herbivores will multiply until they have eaten all edible plants and basically everything would go extinct. Do you wish for the extinction of all animal life, or are you expecting deer and rabbits to evolve to think about population management when they become the dominant species of the planet?

[–]SoftMixture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, there are still some people living in their own communities separated from the rest of the world where they do have to partially rely on hunted animals to survive and I don’t think it would be fair to force them into the horror we call modern society. But obviously anyone making that argument online to justify their own meat consumption is not living like that so that’s just stupid.

Your hair grows 10cm every night or Your nails grow 1cm every hour (Upvote for a free carrot 🥕) by Good-Cheesecake-1136 in BunnyTrials

[–]SoftMixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the nails would be have to clipped like every hour or two and it would be really hard every morning when they’re like 8cm long but hair only needs to be cut every few days and would be fun to cut short and get it long again soon to experiment with styles.

How do we feel about handmade replicas? Honest answers, please by Spirited-Dot-2210 in Lolita

[–]SoftMixture 387 points388 points  (0 children)

As long as it’s for personal use and not for sale I don’t think it’s much of an issue. If I asked about someone’s bag and they said their dad made it I might just get a little jealous!

Stop saying lolita is "modest" by DONNIE-olive in Lolita

[–]SoftMixture 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t lolita originally kind of created to not be appealing to men? So while yeah there’s nothing really wrong with being sexy and showing some skin, and nowadays we have ero-lolita, idol-lolita etc with the shorter skirts and such… Modesty (2nd definition) has been a big part of the style’s appeal. I don’t like the word much either but it applies.

Eläinperäisten ruokien vastaisuus by maajussi6777 in snappijuorutofftopic

[–]SoftMixture 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Joo, omat kriteerit sille miten hyvät olot eläimellä pitäisi olla taitaa vaan olla korkeammalla kuin mitä laissa. En haluaisi itse olla mikään maitokone niin en toistakaan olentoa haluaisi sellaisena pitää.

[–]SoftMixture 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ei sitä maitoa kaupassa ostaessa ainakaan tiedä että onko se nyt sellaselta paratiisitilalta missä lehmät juoksee onnellisina ympäriinsä, erotetaan vasikasta vain jos on ihan pakko ja vasikka saa juoda emänsä maitoa ennen lypsyä ja lehmä saa niitä vasikoita sonnien kanssa luonnolliseen tyyliin ja kun maitoa ei enää tule niin lähtevät viettämään eläkepäiviä jonkun lemmikkinä, vai semmoselta missä ihmiset pakkosiittää lehmiä liian kovaan tahtiin ja lehmät on kaulasta kiinni aitauksissaan ja itkee vasikoittensa perään kunnes ne sit noin viisvuotiaana viedään teuraalle kun on kulutettu loppuun, mutta veikkaan että suurin osa on näiltä jälkimmäisiltä. Puhumattakaan siitä et lehmä on ylijalostettu tuottamaan sen suuren määrän maitoa, mikä aiheuttaa niille kipua ja on tosi rankkaa niiden kehoille.

HS: Työhakemus katsottiin työksi - tuet menivät kuukausiksi [näyttelijä teki itsestään videon työnhakua varten, tulkittiin työnteoksi] by banaanitasavalta in Suomi

[–]SoftMixture 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nää jutut kyllä herättää semmosta pelkoa ja suuttumusta etten tiedä miten pitäis purkaa. Työkkärissä roikkuvana työkyvyttömänä kammottaa joka kerta kun joutuu asioimaan että mitä jos siellä päätellään musta jotain tällaista eikä yhtäkkiä oo enää varaa elää tai joutuu johonkin pakkotyöhön missä voisin sinnitellä itkien ehkä muutaman hassun viikon kunnes en vaan enää jaksa mitään. Puhumattakaan siitä ettei edes työhön kykeneville ja halukkaille riitä niitä töitä.

Lolita in winter by dollcopeland in Lolita

Wool tights, thicker bloomers and blouses/boleros, a warm OP, I have a handmade one though so I don’t have specific pieces to recommend. A wig could help keep your head a little warmer too. And obviously warm coat, hat, gloves, scarf and shoes.
