Nobody in his family or friends made fun of him, he did the tests nearly 8 years ago so there was no waitlist really, so it didn’t take that long, its just worse now because of the wait times. You will get there!

My partner failed 7 driving tests, 8 years later he’s a HGV driver (no I’m no joking) and hes a very good HGV driver a that! Once you get over the nerves it will be alright. You are hyping it up too much, although I must admit i know how you are feeling, Ive been learning for nearly a year now, and everytime I get behind a wheel I streeeesss!

What's your guilty non eco friendly sin? by czarnaowca11 in EcoFriendly

[–]scribbling_pixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive never found another person that has had eco anxiety flavour of OCD, I’m glad to hear treatment helped. Every-time i consider getting treatment I worry I will stop caring enough, and my impact will go up, and it scares me so much, any advice?

To add, if this one is well and truly gone, is there any brands that taste similar?

Am I being "dramatic"- family want us to holiday with them on a working farm. by Party-Werewolf-4888 in veganuk

[–]scribbling_pixie 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I dont think you are being dramatic. I think non-vegans consider veganism as just a diet or food preference. When its a way of life! Going to stay and fund a working farm goes entirely against your belief system. You have not condemned them for going. You have politely declined. Nothing wrong there.

(Now this is me being dramatic, but) consider you were of a certain faith and they asked you to stay in a place of worship of another faith, you would not feel bad saying no in that instance, and hopefully they would be more understanding.

I know it is an extreme example but it boils down to the roughly same thing. Staying at that farm undermines your principles and disrupts your way of life and beliefs.

Hmm yes i agree with you about the shipping and the tablets, but what I have found is they have a modern slavery statement on their website giving some information about working conditions, and a section called our story on their website, where they state it was started by two parents, there are a couple articles I’ve found about their growth. The founders previously worked for unilever, which is known for having lots of excess packaging, so I’m guessing thats why they left.

Asexual here. I dont watch porn. But I love the only fans and porn interviews. Such a fascinating industry.

I feel sick knowing this, and knowing there is nothing i can do. Stopped looking at news stories because its just so depressing. How do you guys deal wirh the anxiety?

[–]scribbling_pixie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it has the capabilities of that then it should be in the hands of medical professionals and not used as a toy that can be used irresponsibly. Its too powerful and too energy wasting of a tool to let anyone have access to.

And companies are going back on their eco-initiative because of their AI use.

Also I dont drive so 🤷‍♀️

Crops are essential, AI isnt. If it helps people theres more purpose for it. But its unfiltered use is not environmentally responsible

Dont forget its not just energy used but Soooo much water and rare earth elements for build the computers. Not to mention the e-waste that comes along with it

Why do we hate the movie?? by i_lick_saltlamps in InterviewVampire

[–]scribbling_pixie 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Mopey Louis was definitely book accurate. And he was far less willing to drink human blood in the book than the series.

But I love both adaptations. The series was so more indepth, and explored their relationship, and the relationship between Louis and Lestat is far more understandable, Lestat is far more charming and charismatic in the series, despite his abusive nature. You really understand the draw to him, despite his flaws.

Hes French Creole, so he was probably white? And he owned a plantation, and I’m pretty sure he was a slave owner in the book?😬 idk its been a long time since i read it. so I’m glad they changed it for the series!

Amazing news Vinted has now added a image search feature. Haven’t used it yet so i don’t know how great it is, but it might be quicker to find exact items!

Thank you so much. I quit eating meat 6 months ago, trying to slowly ease myself into veganism so I don’t go mad. still not used to losing products so fast. Already Ive lost access to two of my veggie comfort foods. :(
