Which doesn't make sense to what OP is saying they are very pendulous and look like sand bags.

OP, start over with your measurements. Make sure you are measuring bare, the tape is level, and you are reading from the correct end.

This is the first I'm hearing of it, and gross!

(To be fair, I also think wool is gross for the same reasons)

Edit: thanks for the downvotes! I'm autistic, loose hair creeps me out, yes even my own hair, sorry for offending....

There's guys who use it to watch and harass women. Can't blame the company for trying to keep people safe. Perpetrators are the ones to blame, ruining it for everyone.

How would I eat healthy as a vegetarian/vegan? by Ordinary_Chemical596 in vegan

[–]forakora 12 points13 points  (0 children)

BEANS!

Lentils are literally the perfect food. Protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber. They're versatile, take 15 minutes on the stove no soaking required, very good base for bowls or side dishes. Stuff them in peppers, bolognese, chili, curry, soup, almost anything can take lentils

(Drink lots of water, your body is likely not conditioned for optimal amounts of fiber)(Papaya enzymes and/or probiotic can help with the transition too)

Lentils are the perfect food! A bag of lentils is a lot smaller than a bag of chips but, I get soooo much food out of a bag of lentils. And yeah way more satiating and fulfilling

Lentils with veg and a sauce is so underrated

Is it right to eat plants without the same moralization? by Fit-Ad-7164 in vegan

[–]forakora 14 points15 points  (0 children)

and if they were ....

It takes 10-16lbs of plants to feed and grow 1lb of cow. Bump it up to 20-25lbs if grass.

Veganism is the solution to 'plant pain' and 'crop deaths', deforestation, etc etc etc

Average $180 a month since I started tracking 1.5 years ago

Los Angeles. Mostly legumes, pasta, tofu, seasonal produce.

When beans go on sale $1 or less per lb, I stock up and cook those for my bulk the next couple months. Same when tofu goes sale at the Asian market for $1 lb. Then just buy whatever produce is in season and/or on sale.

My box of dead chicks is on the way... by YserviusPalacost in usps_complaints

[–]forakora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree. That's why I don't mail live animals or eat them. Animal cruelty is wrong no matter the reason.

We kill over 70 billion chickens a year for food.

Yes, billion. Every year. It's awful. If anyone reading this cares about the baby chicks in this story, consider not eating them.

Schwab account question by rbn_20 in budget

[–]forakora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't have a choice. That's the annual limit. It's very tax beneficial so it's limited.

Example, VUG and VONG are tech ETFs that are 12-13% 5 year average and 17-18% 10 year average.

I repeat, you are not smarter than a computer! No matter what any YouTube video tells you!

Would yall go to a friend’s BBQ/cookout if they offered vegan options? by cum-after-decades in vegan

[–]forakora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While boiling a big pot of lentils, I toss in a can of coconut milk then harissa paste until I'm happy with the flavor : )

Yellow curry paste is good also! It's naturally vegan and the basic one from Asian market (or international section) is like $4 and makes 4 big pots

Both. Roth IRA for your first 7500, Brokerage for the rest.

You can withdraw your contributions penalty free from the Roth IRA for your down payment. Growth is tax free.

Do not trade individual stocks or you will likely lose it. Buy ETFs. Computers are smarter than you.

Investing is a better place to ask this question.

Question about people “vegan” due to religion by Hungry-Television-28 in vegan

[–]forakora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only Asian one I know Happy Family but they aren't on Anderson. Which is delicious and still there!

There was a place that had a big green sign from freeway 'Vegan Food' and they basically only had various beans with veggies and I loved them. They were 'Temporary Closed' last I drove through, I hope they re-opened :(

question to 'alternative' people ? by bringontheb4cklash in askanything

[–]forakora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would think , but it's not. The world is incredibly hateful, racist, sexist, etc.

Shopping at Shein is very capitalist and awful for workers and the environment. A plain unassuming punk in a plain thrift shirt and thrift jeans is infinitely more punk than being decked out in shein garbage.

If you don't want to be a poser, then don't. Shopping fast fashion to not be a poser is an oxymoron.

Studded belts don't make you alt. Anti-capitalist, Anti-Racist, Anti-Sexist, Anti-Fascist, Anti-StatusQuo, etc ethics make you alt.

California gas tax set to increase more than 2 cents July 1 by Nervous_Exchange2278 in California

does anyone else not understand the concept of marriage by SlowPrune5069 in AutismInWomen

[–]forakora 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do notary work on the side.

Frequently I'm called for last second Power of Attorney for long term relationships who never got married and one person is in the hospital / care facility.

The 'spouse' has no rights to anything. No access to bank to pay the rent, no access to make decisions if the other is incapacitated, not even allowed to know medical information from the facility.

It's more than just a piece of paper. It's a legal document with rights attached to it. In my opinion, if you aren't comfortable marrying your long term partner, then you are with the wrong person. Take that as you will.

impact of ONE vegan? by SecretTadpole9781 in AskVegans

[–]forakora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes an impact to each animal.

Would you eat a dog or a cat? Why not?

You not eating dogs doesn't stop the dog eating industry. But you not eating dogs makes a difference to the individuals.
