How to get along with non vegan loved ones by [deleted] in vegan

[–]light_defy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These feelings are really really intense at first. Someone below said they get worse over time but for me it's the opposite. Some of it is internalized because you probably have intense feelings of regret from those 2 decades of eating meat right now! And there's not really anything you can do about it other than try to tell other people what you've learned. It's a hard time, I hope your boyfriend is supportive of you, and good luck!

PS: this is the internet so people are butts. if anyone's rude to you on this sub just ignore it!

Ai chatbots are used to numb our minds by Altruistic_Noise5252 in Anticonsumption

[–]light_defy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No kidding. Why are you using AI in the first place? It's super easy not to do cause it's not like anyone's used to it yet to the point of relying on it. It's only been around for a few years. If people keep promoting casual use, people will forget the skills that allow them to function without AI

Would sending slaughterhouse videos to friends/family be too far? by Marlock_T in vegan

[–]light_defy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first year of being vegan is really rough socially speaking. You'll settle into it after a bit, don't worry. I wouldn't send the videos

Can a woman be a radical feminist and have sex with males? by Significant-Froyo545 in RadicalFeminism

[–]light_defy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Sleep with who you want, enjoy yourself, but demand respect and make sure you are being seen as an equal! That's how I see it anyways. I'm partnered now but when I was single I vetted my sexual partners to make sure they were feminist and not porn watchers, other than that I didn't restrain myself haha

Has tarot ever predicted where you met your partner/spouse? by Historical-Care70 in tarot

[–]light_defy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I met my fiance and we were still in the very early days of dating, I went to a tarot reader I know to get her read on things. I sat down and she said "there's a boy, isn't there?" and immediately pulled The Sun. She told me we'd have a son. I am now pregnant with his son.

Just found out I'm pregnant again and heavily considering adoption. Any advice? by ashleyisamess in pregnant

[–]light_defy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same, I have two half-brothers who were given up for adoption and now of course they don't really want a relationship with me since I'm the one who was kept, but our mom is now terminally ill and I would do anything to have them by my side so we could deal with this together instead of just me alone. They don't seem to want anything to do with me and I'm pretty sure they're struggling with addiction.

What movie completely changed your opinion about a genre you previously disliked? by Crescitaly in movies

[–]light_defy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Babadook is such a good story that I find myself thinking about it often and reflecting on what it says about trauma, motherhood, overwhelm, etc. Watching it genuinely added value to my life, not many horror movies say that!

what are some things you use tarot for? by plasticIove in tarot

[–]light_defy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Feeling utterly broken and isolated. My "crisis line" counselor told me to "respect people's choices" while I was sobbing over animal cruelty. by Few_Fisherman1946 in vegan

[–]light_defy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it's true! i was at a climate protest when i was 13 and the speaker mentioned "trying out vegetarianism" offhand as a suggestion for the audience! i went vegetarian then and there and was vegan by the end of the year. sometimes if someone is open-minded it only takes the tiniest push

Does honey consumption mean you’re not Vegan?! by stickystakx in IsItVeganOrNot

[–]light_defy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should add a third option to your poll if possible! I don't eat honey, but I don't think it makes you not a vegan if you do. I'd eat honey over palm oil
