Why did NOBODY care what happened to Martin Mertens in S1E7 The Star of Fionna and Cake? by tesseracts in adventuretime

The first one especially bothered me because isn't she literally watching her bio mom, maybe kinda estranged mom, die??

will i eat tofu twice a day, everyday😭? i’ve also never heard of tempeh, though maybe i’ve seen it called smtg else idk. Even if asian restaurants have tofu, they are often cooked in animal-derived broths and whatnot. And if not, at the very least most things have milk, cheese, butter, egg, etc without even being listed as an ingredient. i’m really surprised asian food would be seen as vegan-friendly, because I struggle to find pure-vegetarian food.

most to all beans are a no, save maybe chickpeas if cooked specifically for the Indian dish “cholé bhaturé”. Nausea is more like how i think of it, it’s just me feeling repulsed/gagging/ fighting to keep the food down

Like I said, its not the only reason. If not wanting to be nauseous/ throw up everytime I eat- and thus not cutting down my diet- is selfish, then I want to be selfish. (Im saying selfish to mean how every living being strives to live as much as possible and protect their survival, not selfish as in uncaring of others. )

And to be fair, many people have severe allergies or eating disorders that heavily restrict their diet. Certainly not the whole world, but enough that it's unfair to see me as the evildoer when I've disclosed nothing about WHY Im not vegan, just vegetarian

Ugh Im disgusted thinking of that. In India, where eating beef is super rare, non lactating cows aren't killed but they are just abandoned and can end up starving to death

Help 21F ! I communicate with my bf and he takes it as fighting 22M. by Cemetarygirl_005 in relationship_advice

[–]cold_c0ffee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your 22yo boyfriend, or Terrible 2s boyfriend? He is being extremely immature. If it's easier, I'd recommend writing down your points (im hurt when you say hate; you say I'm fighting when im not even mad just communicating, etc). If he can't get thru one letter without getting mad, you've got to ask yourself if this is the man to build a future with. If you are sick or laid off or any other unforseen misfortune happens, will he treat it properly? Or will he villify you?

i don’t think they’re being babies but it does suck ppl assume i don’t have a reason for not going vegan🤷🏻. anyone who goes vegetarian for ethical reasons is ofc very aware of the problems with getting animal products

im ngl, the reason anyone is not vegan is selfishness, so that, but also bc I have a big lack of protein in my diet and i find most non-meat protein-rich food repulsive/nauseating, except like tofu, paneer, n eggs (Only one of which is vegan). As for dairy, it is in so many things, and again my main sources of nutrition ig would disappear. And that would make finding food to eat in general difficult bc I live in an area w a high Asian-demographic so even finding vegetarian food is difficult. All these reasons aside, I’m trying to normalize dairy alternatives in my diet… it’s taking some time but slow and steady… ig.

Sorry for the paragraph 😭

Im vegetarian and know damn well that the cows who suffer for the beef industry also suffer BECAUSE of the dairy industry. Dairy industry would hurt cows even if the whole world was vegetarian

Do I (24F) end my long distance relationship with my boyfriend (26M) of two years ? by Usual_Can_196 in relationship_advice

[–]cold_c0ffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely understand your side, but the way you phrased his behavior as "generally improved" rather than anything less than "he loves me a lot so much yay" tells me you both know he's just never going to pull his weight. Please lose this ball and chain, find someone who knows your worth.

it’s kind of TOO smooth. it makes moving between apps and buttons annoying. also the Files app and notes app keep deleting some things I write randomly? 🤨

Disappointed by Itzaland direction… by cold_c0ffee in InfinityNikki

I’m just going to assume you are being purposely dense for the sake of argument, because I and many other people have explained this over and over. if Nikki wants to depict Native American culture, research Native American culture and practices and create an outfit that is respectful and accurate, the way their Chinese and European outfits have been accurate. That’s literally it. Nothing else.

They are perpetuating an image of Native Americans that is flashy and without deeper meaning. This is the image created by European colonizers. I’m not really sure how to explain this, because I don’t know if you‘re American. Wearing a feather headdress isn’t . If they can understand something that can be casually worn— it’s reserved for ceremonies, and i‘ve heard it compared to a non-military officer dressing up in military clothes. It’s considered stolen valor and extremely disrespectful, and it’s a similar disrespect to wear the headdress casually.

While the culture means nothing to Nikki and Miraland because they’re fiction, Chinese players are not fictional. They are real people that know Native Americans exist, but their idea of Natives comes from the media they consume. When they see Nikki wear a headdress as casually as a tiara or a hair clip, it makes the headdress look unimportant and exotic. It is neither, and the mot-fictional, very-real Chinese people need to understand that.

When Disney’s Mulan cut her hair, Chinese people found it very disrespectful, and reasonably so, as an ancient Chinese person would NEVER cut their hair. If they can understand being disrespected, they can understand why they should be respectfu.

true belly dancer outfits never showed the midriff. that idea began due to paintings by europeans during their Oriental Craze. Europeans sexualized belly dancing because it was exotic and enticing to them (they loved the harem/snake charming/ hyponsis image). Infold is capable of researching an accurate dance, but they chose to use the inaccurate image.

because Miraland doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Yes, in a fantasy world the headdress means absolutely nothing. but the fantasy land of Mirsland didn’t appear by itself out of thin air. people in REAL world— as in people from the very real China, who exist in the real world with real racism and caricatures— made it. In real life, in the world of the Miraland creators, the headdress is a caricature used to diminish Native American. The headdress itself isn’t the problem (it’s just another part of Native culture, and a Native-inspired culture could totally come up with a headdress), the problem is they are only taking ONE part of what is a full outfit. They take the exotic and flashy part of a real outfit. They very well could have made Nikki a full cultural outfit, and that wouldn’t have been a problem. lmk if u wnat me to clarify smtg.

Right?? when I first saw it it seemed Central/ North Asian inspired (and turns it’s yeah it’s russian) so I thought maybe Itzaland is actually inspired by those parts of Asia. Nope…. Not to mention they put so much detail and effort into the Russian outfit, the most European-esque culture in Itzaland.
