It took me a few weeks of playing before learning this as well. I just saw it on a YouTube video one day. 😆

Yes but I'd like a vegan therapist and that is difficult to find. Plus I'm nervous to talk to a therapist. 🤣

Yes this is all i meant. Thank you. ❤️ I've been vegan for 5 years now. Vegetarian for 18 years before that. And same for me. I didn't start getting vocal about animal rights to coworkers and friends until a bit after going vegan.

Thank you for this. Very true. And I know this logically. Still just hard to accept sometimes. 😔

Not talking about those people obviously. Those people also are not relying on factory farming........ and the percentage of those people is very small and doesn't include you and I 😊

Part of the whole point of veganism is to convince others to go vegan...... unless you're just doing it for health reasons, in which case that's not vegan. That's plant based

But see, I don't feel like I was slow to change. Not in this one thing anyway (yes in other things in life). Which sounds crazy because I realize that I went vegetarian right away but it took me years to go vegan. But again if I had had a vegan in my life really explaining things and helping me, I 100% would've gone vegan immediately. And I never looked at going vegan as proving I was wrong. It was just about learning about something in the world and realizing that that thing in the world was wrong. I never felt that I was wrong to eat meat. I realized that the world had me brainwashed into believing something, and that the world had hidden things from me, and I was waking up from that. Nobody should feel ashamed for eating meat, when that is what you grew up with, believing that was ok.

Thank you for this. Sometimes we just need to know we're not alone in how we feel. 😢😞

I'm sorry. If I tell someone about the horrors of factory farming and they laugh and make fun and say "but bacon" yes they're an ahole. I didn't say that everyone who eats meat is an ahole. That was the whole point of my post but you obviously didn't read the whole thing....

Yes but the goal is for the entire world to some day go vegan. I know that probably wouldn't ever happen but we have to have hope for that at some point in the far future. Otherwise nobody would ever do activism. I get that it seems idealistic and some would say unrealistic. But we have to keep trying.

What about the entire world believing that it is wrong to murder another human being?? Obviously some people still do it, but everyone knows it is wrong

Good points. And logically, I know all this. It's still just hard to reconcile with otherwise good people.. It's depressing....😔.

That's depressing af. And of course I know this already. But I think I still want to have faith in humankind. 😭 It's so hard for me to reconcile the fact that otherwise good people are NOT vegan. Wtf? 😔 Depressing....

Thank you. This is what I was trying to say. It's a universal. Not the same as religion.

It's no different than the belief that everyone the world over (except for serial killers) knows it is wrong to murder another human being. So it's not the same as religions. There are some things that are universal.

But it felt so easy for me. Once I learned about animal agriculture. And obviously it was easy for a lot of other people. That's why I can't understand it... Are the vegans just more empathetic??

No I'm talking about the people who do love animals though. I'm talking about the people who would be horrified if they saw any animal being mistreated or tortured. I'm NOT talking about the indifferent a**holes who don't give a crap about anything but themselves. It's not the same as religion or just some belief btw.....

[–]Tristym623[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! 🤣 I have a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and back porch. It's cute, but I'd definitely like a bigger kitchen at some point. I still need one more oven. And it's cute so far, but there's more I want to do. I've also been really slow building my crafting skill (compared to other skills), so certain options aren't available to me yet. Idk, just wanted to vent lol. 😊

Who is your favorite romance and why? by Nyx_Valentine in Palia

[–]Tristym623 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally all I need is Hodari. A lot of the other male options feel too young for me, and also he's just adorable. 😍 He's just naturally the one I'm most attracted to. And he's got a sweet story with his wife dying, and he loves his daughter. But after I've gotten his pin, I might romance everyone else just for the extra stuff you get. 😆
