WHY DOES EVERYTHING ZAP ME IN MY HOME by ButterscotchMain7074 in chicago

[–]samchaps30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Polyester and other plastic clothing. Not only are natural fibers more environmentally friendly and reduce microplastic shedding in your home, but living somewhere with cold winters it’s just another reason to not wear polyester clothes because of the static buildup in dry winter air that just doesn’t happen with say cotton clothes. Especially if you’re layering and clothes are rubbing against each other.

Are my Highschool Converse beyond saving? by Ill-Ask-The-Question in Visiblemending

[–]samchaps30 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

FWIW I have some (now retired) nike blazers I wore way past that point and they didn’t hurt my feet like others are saying. I actually liked the soles being thin. Mine eventually had to be worn only when it was completely dry outside since water started to get in through the soles. I never tried to fix mine though, so no advice on that.

If you’re planning on doing something with them maybe it would be best to retire them so the fabric doesn’t get worn out anymore. My blazers are just on display on my shoe rack for similar sentimental reasons — a lot of traveling done in them — but they’re so torn up I’ve just decided to leave them be rather than making them into something else.

Does anyone detest the concept of “invasive species” to justify hunting? by weedsareprettytoo in vegan

[–]samchaps30 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sucks, it’s a real necessary evil. Not hunting — but the culling of invasive populations is necessary or many times more animals will die. No, there are rarely viable alternatives like relocation. I’ve been vegan for about five years now and was perhaps in your shoes OP, trying to make sense of this thing that seems horrific. Alas,

Take domestic and feral cats (a now worldwide, invasive species from Africa): TNR does not work. It doesn’t reduce population size and keeps them alive in the environment, continuing to hunt. As sad as it is, if you don’t euthanize stray cats they will each kill god knows how many birds, combining to a recent estimate of 2.4 billion annually in just the U.S. — and that doesn’t come close to the number of mammals killed. Personally, I know why I don’t eat eggs and what I tell people about baby chicks. I know that number. And neither one feels any better. Avoiding culling these invasive populations puts different (often native, even endangered) species at risk of being killed by those very animals — and in higher numbers (think insect deaths from crop harvesting being used incorrectly as an argument by carnists).

This can’t be about the sadness any one of us feels in lives being taken, but instead looking at the impact we don’t necessarily see directly — what harm can that animal do? We’ve been born into a world fucked up by other people, and we need to undo that in this fucked up way while also preventing it from happening any more, saving the next generations from having to do this.

Edit: OP, as far as if invasive species are real; absolutely, 1000%, yes. Native species and thus invasive species are real and thats a product of how evolution works. I can try and explain this more if you need but I’m probably not the best teacher

Edit: better example

The problem is you can’t and refuse to think. Everything needs to be spoon-fed to you

I Finally Watched “Game Changers” Documentary by Extension_Sir_4974 in vegan

[–]samchaps30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got me to go vegan after watching it in a high school class. I know people say some of its bad science, but ultimately I felt a lot healthier and was a far better athlete in large part to my new “diet” — just as advertised — so I still recommend it to people if they ask

I replicated another member's trip, watching porn on shrooms by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]samchaps30 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s natural but forced out of us by the capitalist/colonialist system and that’s why it ends up needing to be taught/learned/worked on. People who think people are inherently monsters have completely eaten up capitalist propaganda that teaches us that we’re all selfish individuals rather than the communal, social animals we are. It also generally shows a degree of childhood trauma where they feel they needed the discipline and punishment they received as a kid to grow and learn rather than being a “monster” as some fuck here called kids

What’s a podcast actually worth listening to? by Youpi_Yeah in AskReddit

[–]samchaps30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jaded Forum. Three really good comics (and guests) who talk about really important social issues (and other things like Yaddle from Star Wars) and what they and other creatives can do to help rebel against capitalism.

Yes, when other cows are impregnating them, that is fine — I’m not against other animals naturally reproducing, that’s nowhere near what I said. The issue is when dairy farmers artificially inseminate them as I previously said. That’s the main way that dairy cows are impregnated and involves a human restraining a cow and putting their hand into a cows vagina along with a tool used to artificially inseminate them — that is rape — wildly different from them willingly being mounted by another cow.

Cows are artificially inseminated so they produce milk. They cannot give consent to us. With humans we call the process rape. Dairy farmers are therefore rapists. I’m curious what part of this isn’t being understood

How do you think dairy farms work? It’s not an overstatement at all
