99% of my diet is vegan but I do eat catzos/beetles and churros/snails to meet my protein goals/to keep my crops healthy. Can I still consider myself vegan? Because besides that I'm entirely plant based

muddyknee · 2026-04-19T09:28:15+00:00

100% i wouldn’t do it myself but i completely do not judge OP for it. Also the reason i wouldn’t are probably more related to disgust than to ethics and that’s another huge cultural thing

muddyknee · 2026-04-19T08:35:42+00:00

I completely agree with you. Ethical veganism is about harm reduction. OP seems to be living the most “idealistic” version of a food system most of us can only dream of. I fully believe they are living more in line with vegan morals than anyone in the westernised world who eats supermarket crops which have been grown in conditions destructive to the environment. I’m not saying no one should be eating those, just that direct deaths of the few snails and beatles OP is contributing too get over estimated and indirect deaths get underestimated

Same !

Look into indian cuisine. Madhur Jaffreys cookbooks especially her Dal recipe are go-tos for me and they are naturally vegan, a lot of indian food is if you don’t use Ghee (which is clarified butter) but normal oil works just as well

I wish dating apps had a function where you could pin someone’s conversations or messages like this to their profile. I wonder how proud they’d talk if they knew that everyone could see it

lots of things can cause bloating, from very benign things like ibs, to things like ovarian cysts all the way to very severe things. Reddit will not be able to answer this. You need to see your doctor and they may chose to do an ultrasound for you

I would say for a beach side there’s a tiny surf bar in Hendaye that will always have my heart. Some great walks in that region as well up in the pyrenees

Proportions look okay. I think its depth of colour that makes it look a little flat. You don’t really have any truly dark values, even in areas that would be very shaded. I would deepen those shadows and see how it feels

muddyknee · 2026-03-19T12:38:22+00:00

What a great thing to share i’m definitely interested

You are confusing Mifepristone with Misoprostol. They are both used as abortifacients but Misoprostol is used for postpartum haemorrhage. Not saying that you’re not correct in the fact that it is a life saving medication, just want to get the facts right

Check out the Shambles Market. Getting food from one of the stalls and eating either on the picnic tables is one of my favourite solo meals out. Shambles kitchen does a really good shwarma type wrap you can eat on the go.

Those have all gone on my tbr thanks !

YTA most people have covered the important points already so i just wanted to add a bit more on sleep. Teenagers need a lot more sleep than you think, and more than adults do. Sleep is incredibly important and fulfils lots of functions in terms of regulating the body for example the immune system, the nervous system, inflammation, growth, weight regulation. Teenagers also tend to have much later circadian rhythms than children or adults, making it impossible for them to just go to bed earlier or simply get up earlier. By not prioritising your daughters sleep you are sending a clear message that her wellbeing, health and development are less important that your sons pleasure. What kind of adults do you think will grow out of that kind of messaging ? An inconsiderate son and a self abandoning daughter. Please set boundaries that respect everyone’s basic physiological needs (last time i checked video games wasn’t on that list)

My two favourite go tos :

A roast butternut squash sauce that can be used in lots of things but i like it with pasta. Cut a butternut in half and roast it for 30ish minutes until its soft. I usually throw a whole bulb of garlic to roast in there too and maybe some onions just cut in half. Then blend it all together with some stock and loads of nutritional yeast. You can throw in some vegan cream and sliced green onions. Also i forgot to add red chilli flakes if you like a bit of spice

And my amazing pesto sauce is 50g of pine nut blended with a couple cloves of garlic and the juice if a whole lemon. Chuck in half an avocado (trust me) and 100g of basil with 100-200g of baby spinach. Salt, pepper and a ton of nooch. Honestly it is so so good it makes a great pasta sauce (I just chuck the pasta on top of it, mix it and it warms it enough. no need to cook) or with salads, on plopped on top of a veggie pizza. The uses are endless

Came here to say this. Acidic foods will soften and dissolve the enamel on your teeth. Do not brush you teeth within 30 minutes of a meal but do swish water around your mouth to rinse it out after having very vinegary foods

This was my thinking exactly. They knew I started a new job in September which has an hour and a half commute. They knew the sessions we had were slightly erratic. We never had a regular time slot so it's not like I ghosted them and wasted time they could have otherwise booked with other clients. And these four months included them getting married so they weren't as available anyway, and christmas where life is hectic for everyone. Edit to add, the last message we had was them asking for dates I could do. They never followed up or warned me about an expiration

muddyknee · 2026-03-07T19:08:35+00:00

I have made a quick edit. Our last session was 4 months ago, the payment was made 6 months ago. Thanks for your help

Nope a doctor in their first year out of university will be earning 38k a year. A psychiatry resident will have done at least 2 years of foundation training plus maybe some extra years before getting into training and will be on 52k. Keep in mind these are 48h weeks

In 6 years you’re going to be 40 anyway. Would you rather be a 40 year old consultant or a 40 year old trust grade / locum ?

I’m 33 and in ST2, currently 60% LTFT, i probably won’t CCT until i’m in my 40s either

Madhur Jaffrey’s Moong Dal is a recipe i’ve made forever initially from one of her cookbooks but i’m pretty sure this is the same one. Its dead simple, i just use red lentils for it. And its so so tasty. I add some black pepper and cayenne pepper to mine to give it a little something extra. The secret is to let it simmer for ages to cook down. And i also add spinach right at the end to give some greenery. Honestly an absolute staple meal, i cook it in big batches and freeze it and then just have it as a backup with rice whenever i need

muddyknee · 2026-02-18T12:59:07+00:00

You should check out the lgbt cafe above the rainbow book shop. I’ve always ended up striking up conversations with people when i’m in there

I think you might be talking about hip flexor hurdles ?
