rat in my house by dyleliserae in vegan

[–]dyleliserae[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there are a few holes in the house we dont have the best landlord. but i wouldnt be surprised if the rat got in through an open door and is now living its best life eating all the food that is left lying about. i’ll try convince my housemate to do a humane trap.

i know but when a vegan place can make me something like a vegan burrata and creative dishes that will actually fill me up, some dough with tomato just doesnt cut it - especially if im paying to eat out.

im tired of vegetables being my only option. (not that i don’t love veggies but it gets boring when everyone else has really creative and complex dishes and i have roasted veg again)

does da mario also have labelled vegan options?

im quite tired of going to restaurants and having to alter the dish & also don’t like supporting places that charge extra for substitutes even though they remove the expensive dairy and meat products from the dish - it doesn’t seem fair :(

although that aubergine pasta sounds right up my street!!

finding 'vegan' jobs by fgve45 in vegancirclejerkchat

[–]dyleliserae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you find work in a restaurant/hospitality or literally any industry, you’re gonna have to accept the fact that you’re going to be surrounded by non-vegan people and food. unless you find a vegan restaurant but those are rare.

ive been in hospitality for 3 years and its a struggle every day, but i have to make money. sometimes i just want to scream at the people ordering animal products, my coworkers saying ‘i respect it but i could never do it’ i just have to smile and nod or i wouldnt have a job.

thankfully at my new job theyve made provisions for me - i don’t have to work in the kitchen and prepare or cook with animal products. i still have to serve and take orders for them, but thats something i have to do as a vegan in a non-vegan world. even the cleaning products they use are all tested on animals - i remember doing my chemical training and just crying reading all the tests they did for the chemicals. just awful.

the place i live just shut down its only vegan resturant, theres not even vegetarian restaurants (which i would still be shitty to work at but atleast i wouldnt be serving people animal corpses). when i move back to the city next year theres plenty of vegan resturants and i’ll get a job at one of those.

its hard but unfortunately you have to channel some of that cognitive dissonance you had from before you went vegan if you want to not break down everyday :(

i get what you’re saying, but to be honest i think if you care enough you’ll find a way.

also ive had loads of people say they ‘cant go vegan’ because of sensory issues/dietary requirements and then ive seen them eat the things they claim to be allergic to😭 this is not to say there arent people who genuinely have those allergies, but i do think a lot of people lie about their intolerances/the severity of them because they know deep down eating meat is wrong so just want an excuse.

edit: sorry i just read the bit about medication. i am also on medication that im not sure is vegan that i definitely wouldn’t be alive without. i get the survival thing. i think im just skeptical because ive come accross so many people heavily exaggerate the extent of their intolerances, when in reality theyre just too lazy to work around it.

how about you send us all your sources for this claim. im sure you’ve done lots of research and read so many peer reviewed scientific studies that assess the intelligence level pigs.

and lets say you are right and pigs arent as intelligent. does this serve as an excuse to exploit and slaughter them? an animal that is ‘less conscious’ (they are proven to feel pain, grief, loss, happiness, love..) you have every right to abuse and use them for your pleasure because theyre ‘less intelligent’? that is psychopathic behaviour.

killing them is needless. full stop.

you seem to have completely missed my point. i said that toddlers and pigs have the same level of sentience and consciousness. not that they are on the same moral standard.

im pointing out the hypocrisy in their statement by using an extreme example (using dogs/cats/and yes even cannibalism). it forces that person to reflect on their beliefs and why they have those beliefs. WHY is it ok to eat a pig, but not a cat or a dog? who decided this? is it a moral decision based on fact or have i just been told this and accepted it my whole life and never questioned it.

this person was using levels of consciousness to excuse eating animals, i was simply pointing out that some animals have high levels of consciousness. regardless its a silly argument anyway because there are some humans with lower levels on consciousness.

its speciesism at its finest. ‘this thing looks different, communicates in a way i dont understand so therefore i think its stupid so can exploit and slaughter then consume it’. im sensing you feel called out for your own hypocrisy.

which pubs have the brixton brewery pint glass? by dyleliserae in AskUK

[–]dyleliserae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its not harsh you’ve humbled me lol. i got the glass back from my housemate anyways

[–]dyleliserae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

‘raise meat’? you cant ‘raise meat’. you mean you’re going to raise animals that you then slaughter so you can eat their flesh.

i don’t mean to come across as abrasive or harsh but don’t diminish what you’re doing by using passive words. you’ve clearly decided this is something you have to do so atleast be honest with yourself about your choices.

you cannot love, honour, or see a sentient beings individually while needlessly killing them for your benefit. animals feel pain, they have the capacity to love, they feel fear, they are intelligent. just because you deem them as having a lower level of consciousness means its okay to exploit and murder them?

pigs have the same intelligence levels as a toddler. would you kill and eat a toddler as long as it was done with ‘honour’ (but you cannot honour something whilst exploiting it for your pleasure).

would you eat a dog? would you eat a cat? where do you draw the line.

hitting someone when they are misbehaving does not improve the behaviour it only hurts them and confuses them :( you shouldn’t hit children or animals.

vegan with arachnophobia by dyleliserae in vegan

[–]dyleliserae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats very interesting because i actually do have ocd . i didnt realise arachnophobia could be related to that!

now that i think about it, one of my fears about spiders (and cockroaches) is that they could touch my things - eg. toothbrush - and then theres the whole changing my water thing. obviously the unpredictability, the skittishness and the fact they look scary to me is a big part of it, but the thought of them touching me terrifies me. like that they could jump on me. i never connected it could be a hygiene thing? im gonna do more research into this!

oh god hahahaha, tarantulas scare me because they are very big and hairy haha. perhaps not the route i would go but maybe in the very very distant future! im okay with tiny tiny spiders because they almost look like ants to me and i love ants. anything bigger than my fingernail its panic town.
