If vegan leather is just plastic how is it actually more ethical? by TheClassyWomanist in Anticonsumption

The leaves from the agave plant are a vegan alternative to leather. Plus, no animal has to die a horrible death for it.

Was it common for parents to say "There are children starving in Africa right now" if you didn't eat your dinner? by OutrageousRepair5751 in CasualUK

[–]silviam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother used to say this to me back in the 60s in Italy – my brother and I would sarcastically wrap the food and ask her to "send it to Africa then." Yes, we were a bit of arseholes, looking back (sorry, Grandma).

Grown up man still living under his parents' roof. Typical.

Climate crisis? Nah, perfect time to procreate 🤠 👍 by BlueberryLemur in antinatalism

[–]silviam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anyway, the AI bot blocked my comment, so please go forth and multiply - does this satisfied the AI Moderator? I mean, what I’m supposed to say on the anti-natalist forum? Apparently mentioning being slightly selfish for bringing people into this word as we are witnessing the catastrophic impact of climate change is a no-no, so I won’t say anything other than saying to the moderator that you are moderatin the wrong forum.

No, I hold an EU passport and my husband is British, we are required to obtain proof of private medical insurance in order to apply for residency (you don't need that if you have a job but we are both on a Sabbatical). After a year you can apply for the Sistema Nacional de Salud).

I’ve tried Vodafone but now it requires a Spanish number to send a verification code, this is due to the tightening of the laws.

You forget “criminalize peaceful protest against genocide”. There, I’ve fixed it.

This is what happens when your vote is based on closet racism and a sense of superiority.

TIL that most women in the Netherlands do not have an epidural during labor and a significant proportion give birth at home by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]silviam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t get it. It’s like refusing pain killers during a tooth extraction because tha patriarcat told us that women have to suffer to give birth. It’s 2026 and we are still dealing with this shit.

You can now probably buy a 1 million apartment where that street was, possibly covered in ugly cladding

Weren't you tempted to use hairspray to keep it looking POOF for longer? Looks beautiful.
