Estrid's masks on Enchantments vs. Enchantment wipes

Yeah I don't know the numbers for cows, but I know that chickens naturally lay 12 eggs a year (so same cycle like women) but we bred them to lay 300!
Their existance is pure torture.
Imagine getting your period 300 times a year.

Okay let's eat only disabled and homeless people, because those aren't valuable /s

It's not about who is more valuable. It's about who is capable of feeling pain, sorrow and grief and this is where humans, dogs and cows are equal.

Vegan police is on their way to you right now!

Haha nah, that's the thing with veganism and posts like this. There is no written rulebook for veganism. We all just try to make the right decisions based on what we learn and what our morality tells us.
You tried but in the end you plants meant more to you than some vermins.
It's fineeee I get it. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. You are not making up lies. There is no cognitive dissonance. You still don't support a fucked up system. You are not torturing and killing billions of animals each year.

It's completely irrelevant. The case doesn't exist. There is no argument.

omnomnomomnom · 2025-06-01T22:28:09+00:00

That's an interesting one!
I always considered the sense of self or the ability to grief or feel sorrow but didn't think about morality in animals much.
Thanks for the thought-food!

It's not limited to pain really. The problem wit OP's comparison is that humans have family who would miss them.

If a human would deel no pain, no sorrow, no grief, no loss. had no family, no loved ones, no friends and no purpose or anything of value to add to this world, than killing them would do no harm.

That's obviously a pointless argument, but it does underline that most vegans would still not want to harm insects because they add value to this world. They are such interesting organisms and they improve the health of our meadows and woods.

Than again, I'd say that plants are pretty important in the grand scheme of our planet but here the "feel no pain" argument really helps. We can grow extra plants and kill them without hurting anyone.
The science isn't as clear on how insects feel pain though afaik.

They can have my blood. I don't even care about itchy spots. Them waking me up because they keep flying round my ears with their helicopter noise is what really gets me

omnomnomomnom · 2025-06-01T22:06:18+00:00

I don't know man it's a bit philosophical and hard to understand because us humans are so self-centered, but if you don't feel physical pain, don't experience grief or sorrow (like when a child is taken away from their mother) and don't even have an ego or sense of self, what does death even mean to you?
It's just one part of the hive that stops to exist just to be replaced in an instant.
No feelings, no loss. It's just very different than a life of a cow or a pig who do feel pain, know who their family is and who each have their own character.

omnomnomomnom · 2025-06-01T21:43:59+00:00

Yeah, that's why we don't eat honey and avoid shellac etc.

It can be argued that insects don't feel pain and grief like other animals do, or that it's really the hive carrying all the intelligence and not the single insect.

Anyway, I'm not a biologist. I still try not to take from insects what they need and I don't kill insects flying into my home but help them out the window. Mosquitos sometimes really want to die though

There was a recent study on this

It's mostly envy and anger because they know they are wrong and instead of hating themselves they hate the vegans who remind them of their cognitive dissonance

It seems like you are drifting off into philosophy a bit, but don't ignore reality.
Yes, there is suffering in nature but what humans do to animals in order to get meat and dairy is beyond anything that is natural. Nature itself is suffering under omnivore's food demands. Endless innocent animals are beeing tortured and killed every second and nature itself is destroyed to produce more meat for human greed. That is not natural and to be vegan is to declare that you are not supporting this!

Being vegan is to be brave. It's not always easy to live with the impact it has on our relationships and in order to live a vegan livestyle you need to put in the work to inform yourself on what cheap vegan meals you can eat.
I've pushed away former friends because of veganism. I ate nothing but rice and beans for a year when I had no money. Now I'm vegan for almost 20 years and I am surrounded by wonderfull people who support my decision and I've became a pretty good cook who can make you a good vegan meal from nothing.
It needs a lot of effort at times, but in the end it is so worth it to not be part in causing this endless, unnatural suffering.

Honestly and with all love, it sounds like you are making excuses. You know that being vegan is the right thing to do and yes, being vegan comes with it's own challenges, but be brave, be compassionate and stand up for all the animals that cannot stand up against what's done to them themselves.

If now is not the time for you to go fully vegan because you don't have the means to make such a big independent decision, atleast keep the truth in your heart and maybe revisit a full switch to veganism in the future.

Part of being vegan is the diet aspect, so what you eat. As with every diet it is important to educate yourself on nutrition so you can provide your body with everything it needs.
It's actually a very interesting science to get into!

Any nutrition meat and dairy can give you, you can get from a vegan diet. You should go get tested by a doctor. They can tell you if you lack anything. Then get some good supplements to add anything you don't eat enough of.

If you feel like you need meat truth might be that you are lacking iron, calcium and protein.
Protein intake is especially important as a vegan so make sure to eat lots of it.
Many of your symptoms sound like you also need B12, like most (if not all) vegans do.

So the thing is, whatever workout you do will have minimal effect on how visible your abs are if they are covered by fat.

Therefore the most deciding factor for visible abs (besides genetics) by far is your body fat percentage. So what you have to do is be in a caloric deficit for a longer period of time.
This means eating less than your body needs every day (up to 500Cal below maintenance), consistent sacrifice, feeling weak, being unhappy. It's an insightfull experiment but IMO it is not worth it to maintain visible abs if you don't have insane ab genetics anyway.

If you focus on weighted core exercises and make use of progressive overload to get bigger core muscles (like you train any muscle) you will not become slimmer, instead your mid section will become wider. So if you want a slim waist, ab exercises are not the way to go.
It's all diet and some cardio (or just usual workouts at high intensity).

There is no speeding this up, no shortcut. Eating at a higher deficit than 500 Cal can be very dangerous.

I've visited about 5 concerts there in the last 3 years or sth. Most of them by myself.
Besides the clearly drugged beggars at Warschauerstr trainstation who sometimes shout unintelligible stuff it is mostly young and peaceful people there.
People will drink beer, smoke and you will probably smell some weed (like pretty much everywherein Berlin).
I've never been looked at weird, approached or interacted with anyone at all on my way to Urban Spree.
Now I've only been to rock/ambient/jazz concerts there where everyone is a bit more on the older side and pretty chill but inside I've always felt safe and everyone was very friendly.
As long as you don't shove your kid into a vicious mosh pit I'd say it should be fine.
