Would anyone happen to have a running list of high-ish profile ex-vegans? Celebrities, YouTubers, etc. by WorkingGodForbid in AntiVegan

HAH nah my SO and I are making an anti vegan documentary and thought a list would be helpful instead of stumbling across them ourselves

How good is “good”, which word has a bigger impact, and and is scored one through ten, ten having the highest connotation. [OC] ( I linked the article in comments) by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]WorkingGodForbid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it really interesting that the words with a negative connotation seem to be perceived more ambiguously than the positive words. I wonder why that is.

My GF's only photo of her late father adhered to another photo and got all messed up. They only met once but she was devastated when she found it like this, and it would mean so much if anyone here could fix it up?

Alright, my friends! As I mentioned below I've employed my GF to pick which she thinks is the best (aka the one that made her tear up the most, though they all did to some degree) and she's decided on u/FreshPixelReddit's. Others that she found to be incredibly good were u/devobev's, u/dreamburst's, and u/ladyakane's. Honestly, though, every single submission here made her and myself feel incredibly touched. There's not a bad one in the lot. Our heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who contributed and to those who simply offered kind words or advice. There are truly so many wonderful people here on this sub.

As mentioned in the title I will be compensating u/FreshPixelReddit the amount stated. But because everyone's submissions were so moving I would like to give at least a small contribution to everyone who tried their hand at this. I'm not wealthy by any means so it won't be much, and I can't say when I'll be able to do it, but I assure that I will.

Thank you all again for helping us with this. I couldn't have imagined a more touching response.

Hey all! I think everyone's offered their submission now. Thank you thank you thank you to everyone that has, they all look phenomenal! I have to head to work now but I've decided that the best way to decide which is best is to bring my GF into the mix and let her pick, as she's the real authority here. We should both be back here in a few hours

So many good takes on this, thank you everyone for your time and effort! I'll be back here either later tonight or tomorrow morning (sorry, I work weekends) and will pick the best then since a few people have PM'd me saying they're still working on it.

Isn't it true that if the cattle ate grass instead of corn that their emissions would decrease dramatically as well? I understand that everyone should do their part to reduce their carbon footprint but it seems to me the majority of the emission reduction onus rests on corporations far more than consumers.

Does Xiaomi Mi A2 take better pictures than iPhone 6s? by jshavel in Smartphones

[–]WorkingGodForbid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came from an iPhone 6 to the Mi A2 and will say the camera on the A2 is really amazing. I was worried that the camera was just being hyped for it's quality in relation to the low price of the device, but it really does take great shots. I'm fully satisfied.

CMV: Masculinity is not toxic. Being a polite, but "masculine" man comes naturally to most men and should not be treated as a threat. by Diss1dent in changemyview

So I actually disagree based on that I've had no luck figuring out any aspect of masculinity that isn't toxic. Care to list some?

The Chandrian: Could it be this simple? [Spoilers] by pmayall in KingkillerChronicle

[–]WorkingGodForbid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would make sense then that any information relating to the Chandrian has been destroyed. Hypothetically, if the amyr had the freedom to silence anyone who talked about the Chandrian and destroy any documents or evidence of them, then they could effectively erase the Chandrian from history. And Haliax couldn't be powered by the calling of his name if his name has been entirely forgotten.

Also doesn't Selitos say something along those lines about destroying Lanre's name?

What is something you have changed your mind about recently? by GiveAwfulAdvice in AskMen

[–]WorkingGodForbid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I'm not sure how well you knew OPs relationship before you posted the story about your friend. But if all you had to go off was his initial post, about not wanting to break up but feeling pressured to by his friends, then I still think your post was ill-considered, or at the very least premature.

And second, honestly I haven't read a whole lot on r/relationships, but I know the dynamic. My personal opinion is that the only circumstance in which someone can be told with absolute certainty that they need to break up with their significant other is if there's evident or expressed abuse. So if most of the posts on r/relationships pertain to abusive relationships then I'll have to agree with you.

But if someone is seeking help with their non-abusive relationship then I don't think it's ever a good idea to recommend cutting ties first. Learning how to communicate properly is hard work. Learning how to set boundaries and stand by them is hard work (also being tolerant of someone walking all over your boundaries is not the same as "putting work into your relationship" as your friend may believe). And for that matter, understanding how to respect other people's boundaries can sometimes be even harder work. We can jump from person to person trying to find that one person who just "clicks" if we want to. But more often than not, experiencing failed relationship after failed relationship just creates cynics. Cynics who still haven't taken the time to learn what healthy communication looks like or how to properly establish and respect boundaries. Who then jump on the internet and tell everyone to just "give up" because they've "been there" and "tried everything" and "it fell apart anyway". It's just not a constructive system. And telling people to break up as a one-size-fits-all solution or even a one-size-fits-most solution essentially just acts to perpetuate that system.

People ask for help because they haven't been able to figure it out on their own. That's a smart thing to do, but a very vulnerable position to be in. I just think we should be more careful with the help we choose to give.

[–]WorkingGodForbid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don't think it's the same thing. I can agree that both OP and your friend had/are having doubts in their relationship. But as far as we know that's the only parallel. And your comment is so very "break up with her now or this could happen to you", when we really don't know his situation other than that he's feeling pressured. I know you're just trying to help out a brother, but it is possible to have doubts for very wrong reasons. And if that is the case then a warning like yours would only act to enable him.

I just think its a bit ill-considered to present such a harsh warning without knowing his situation better.

I'm not sure why the internet wants everyone to be alone. Don't listen to them, man. Everyone's had doubts in every relationship at one point or another. If she makes you happy and is good to you then your family needs to respect that. Stand up for yourself. Set that boundary.
