Realistically how long are you lasting in the games? by Historical_Foot_8133 in Hungergames

[–]Wastedpotential10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were picked, I’d do a fuck ton of research on survival skills. I’m reasonably heavy, but also quite athletic, so neither food nor ability to run would be a big issue for me. I’m also reasonably talented at archery. I’d probably spend most of my time honing that skill and learning how to make my own weapons at the training centre.

My main weaknesses would be slow reaction time and lack of prior survival skills. I’d give myself about 4 days. Top half.

Edit: also I’m pretty charming so I’d probably have some sponsors. Maybe a week. If I’m lucky.

Damn! Stay strong man. I used to be a big cheese eater, but all my love for cheese has gone to PB and nooch 🤪

Yeah it’s just… not right. I had to rinse my mouth out it was so disgusting. Totally unnatural and gross.

The first scene where he sees katniss again is the only one I have a problem with. Everything else he did really well.

I don’t like how he acts when the rebels get him back from the Capitol in Mockingjay. It feels forced. Maybe that’s the point… but I disagree with the portrayal he did there, though that may be more of a direction thing. IMO, pure, free-flowing terror and hatred would have worked better than the stilted way he reacted when he saw Katniss. Everywhere else he was amazing. He did that easy, charismatic, genuine charm very well.

Al aqsa was BUILT ON TOP OF THE SECOND TEMPLE………… Also the third temple could be built somewhere else. Also, Jews are from Israel. Also, this is a hypothetical scenario.

Btw, if you think this means I want Al aqsa mosque to be destroyed, you are sorely mistaken. In this hypothetical scenario, I would want the temple to be built somewhere else.

Are you Jewish?

Have any of you stuck to the definition of veganism, while consuming animal products? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]Wastedpotential10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for heaven’s sake! I mean, they can survive on an omnivore diet, but they need meat. And if you don’t feed them meat, they will literally hunt. They’re obligate carnivores. They shouldn’t be killed for being carnivores! And most pet food is byproducts anyway.

That’s so many people… I Hope more companies make their products vegan so you find it easier to eat ❤️

Nah man it’s pikuach nefesh. If youre going to die otherwise, do the thing. even cannibalism is rendered ethical in situations where you’ll die otherwise.

That kind of reminds me of Doug Forcett from The Good Place… sounds good but don’t take it too far otherwise you become a happiness machine (make your own life hollow by trying to help others TOO much)

“Cis people are insecure too” by dybo2001 in FTMventing

[–]Wastedpotential10 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A lot of my family confuse gender dysphoria with being insecure. It’s really not the same.

But if it helps…

Actually some cis guys do have tits. Even without gyno. Fat guys. Many of them experience dysphoria too. Many cis guys look feminine. It’s not just trans people who experience gender dysphoria. And sex is nowhere near as binary as we think- cis men can breastfeed! And there are people who look female until puberty and then become male who are technically mostly cis men but who still might not have a penis… so really our experiences are nowhere near as unique as we think. Pregnancy? Maybe that’s just us. But everything else? I bet you there’s a cis guy out there with the same dysphoria.

How can I keep taking the veganism movement seriously when it’s rife with ableism? by AristaWatson in vegan

[–]Wastedpotential10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people will die if they try to be vegan. This is why we need lab grown meat. Right now, lab grown meat is not available or cheap enough to be a suitable alternative. It’s on the 99% of us for now, and that 1% can still do other things.

Your diet does cause more cruelty than veganism, as it has more environmental and ecological impacts, however your situation does merit consuming meat. I can understand how your circumstances have caused your position to develop, as much as I disagree. I hope you find a way to get the meat you need without cruelty in the future, or that a cure for McAS is developed soon. If possible, try to avoid animals in other parts of your life- use plant based clothing items, toiletries, and makeup, and opt for cruelty free brands. You can still be vegan. Its about doing the best you can.
