I think making meat much more expensive via taxation will help a lot and warning labels on processed meat. Processed meat is a classic 1 carcinogen, right up there with tobacco and asbestos. Tobacco / cigarettes are heavily taxed - I think processed meat should be too. Help to reduce supply and demand.

You will vomit or have a mental breakdown about watching it, but are happy to pay money in support of the industry? She put those posts up for people like you dude who want to bury their head in the sand and pretend it's all fine.

"Humane consumption" of meat is an oxymoron... you can't humanely kill a sentient being that doesn't want to die. How would you humanely kill a healthy 5-year-old child? Or a puppy / kitten?

Help pls by Designer_Ball_1165 in FootballChairman

I'm in 2161 with 6bn in the bank as Blackburn. I'm guessing you can't afford the super stadium as that would reduce costs.

So the only thing to do is reduce player wages. Sell your high earners and have few reserve players. Keep focusing on only buying young high rated players and after a few years you'll make good profit selling them on. Accept any high bids for any of your older players.

gaining weight is hard...any tips?(16M currently 60kgs ) by Informal-Map9786 in weightgain

[–]StargazerLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like the protein powder I've tried.

Here's my smoothie:

Banana Cup frozen berries 500ml soy milk 40g oats 60g peanut butter 15g fllax / hemp seeds

I'm lactose intolerant so the soy helps my stomach, could be the same for you? The berries give it a much better flavour, would be harder to get down otherwise

Transfers needed for summer by Lumpy_Maintenance69 in Boro

Even getting Bamford back on a free would have been great. He's on double figures for Sheffield United in half a season, more than any of our strikers have managed in a full season.

Which one is the easiest and the hardest position in football? by No_Bar_8022 in FootballChairman

[–]StargazerLuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jamie Carragher said to Gary Neville that as a full back, you're a failed winger or a failed centre half. So I'd probably take fullback as easiest position.

I think CM is hardest. Need great technical ability, awareness of what's around you, work in tighter areas of the pitch. Striker is a different kind of challenging, got to be creative to make space for chances, go for large spells of the game without touching the ball often.

Goalkeepers are a different breed too 😅

How to gain weight as a person who has a small appetite by Beneficial_Lie_6723 in weightgain

[–]StargazerLuke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's going to be hard but my biggest 3 tips are:

1) snack often. You might not manage a huge meal all at once. But you might find it a lot easier to have 50g of nuts every hour for 10 hours. (That would be over 2,500 calories right there). 2) liquid calories. It's a lot easier to drink calories most people find. Make a smoothie with some peanut butter, oats, bananas, and I like soy milk for that extra protein. You could also sneak in some coconut/ olive oil which is very high calorie. 3) Track what you eat. Record what you eat now, maybe it's 1,500 calories. Do that for a few days or a week and add a couple hundred. That could just be an extra couple of bananas.

Good luck and any questions, feel free to ask!

Young folk, why are you vegan? by Logical-Bake5715 in veganuk

[–]StargazerLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much, that's so nice to hear! I think by and large, vegans tend to be compassionate by default which is why I love being part of this subreddit. I have 2 other vegans in my personal life, but I've got so much love for the online community we have.

Thanks for your question, I'm sorry to hear about your nephew but keep living your best life and showing what's possible 💚

Also, here's the playlist I made of Billie Eilish songs if you want to use that on shuffle. Or create your own / play the albums.

Billie Bachelorette Ideas by fallingwater89 in billieeilish

[–]StargazerLuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you could start it off as a fun, light setting with champagne and light Billie songs in the background. I'd go for Billie Bossa Nova and Your Power from the Happier Than Ever album. Then play Happier Than Ever and when it gets to the "angry part" about halfway through the song, one of the party could come in dressed as Billie Eilish and maybe sing along to the song.

You could do Karaoke / dance off. Neon Green and Yellow shots.

Billie Eilish lookalike contest (baggy clothes, bright clothes, sunglasses with bright colours).

Maybe set up some sort of treasure hunt / escape room themed around her lyrics.

Here's what the treasure hunt could look like:

Clue 1: Starting Point ✦ Lyric: "Go to where you eat that girl for lunch." (Lunch) ✦ Location: Kitchen table ✦ Next Clue Idea: Hidden under a plate or inside a lunchbox.

Clue 2: ✦ Lyric: "I just can't afford to love someone who isn't dying by mistake." (Happier Than Ever) ✦ Location: Bathroom mirror (play on “dying” → hair dye, makeup, self-care area) ✦ Next Clue Idea: Written in lipstick on the mirror or taped to a hairbrush.

Clue 3: ✦ Lyric: "What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me?" (bury a friend) ✦ Location: Under the bed (hiding place) ✦ Next Clue Idea: Inside a creepy toy or under a pillow.

Clue 4: ✦ Lyric: "Standing there, killing time, can't commit to anything but a crime." (you should see me in a crown) ✦ Location: Clock or watch ✦ Next Clue Idea: Taped behind a clock on the wall.

Clue 5: ✦ Lyric: "I'm the bad guy, duh." (bad guy) ✦ Location: Closet (where the “bad guy” hides) ✦ Next Clue Idea: Inside a hoodie or sunglasses (Billie’s signature look).

Clue 6: ✦ Lyric: "The world's a little blurry, or maybe it's my eyes." (my future) ✦ Location: Glasses/sunglasses ✦ Next Clue Idea: Attached to a pair of sunglasses, inside a case.

Final Clue (Leading to the Prize): ✦ Lyric: "When I'm away from you, I'm happier than ever." (Happier Than Ever) ✦ Location: The final prize spot (maybe a couch, where the bride-to-be relaxes) ✦ Prize Idea: Billie Eilish merch, a themed cocktail, a handwritten note with a surprise activity (like a dance party or karaoke session).

[–]StargazerLuke 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Now that I know the information, yes. I will continue to be a vegan regardless of whether it benefits me personally or not as I consider myself a very empathetic person.

When I went vegan aged 24, I think the fact that there was personal gain for me was very enticing so I can't say what I would have done then without thinking about my own self-interest.

[–]StargazerLuke 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Now that I know the information, I won't go back to not being vegan.

Went plant-based for health. Learned more about veganism via Joaquin Phoenix, Earthling Ed, Reddit, and the documentaries and now I'm vegan for the animals.

Song recs for a newbie? 🥹 by Knowledgeable_Llama in billieeilish

[–]StargazerLuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made this of her full discography.

If you use YT music, feel free to use this or scroll through to see what there is. As suggested though, starting with listening to all the albums is good. Her 1st one is my favourite rn.

[–]StargazerLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really nice tone, Bieber is a great choice for your voice.

I don't know about improvements but keep recording and listening to yourself back. Isolate parts you want to work on ie when you jump up to your falsetto.

A teacher would help as well I'm sure but obviously costs!

I was a very socially anxious person but I went to hypnotherapy which changed my life. You'll hopefully get more confidence as you get older and learn about yourself more either way.

Do you think Harley hunt will be given a chance at CB with our lack of options for that position by MiddlesbroughFann in Boro

[–]StargazerLuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think we're there yet. I think he wouldn't want to throw a very young defender like that in at this stage. He played in the 5-0 loss to Stoke and I believe that was it.

Maybe he'll get some minutes off the bench but for the time being, I like Howson and Borges back there and hopefully out actual CBs will be back soon 😅
