First a giraffe, for a super long neck. Then a fish for gils.

That’s it I’m just curious what it would look like. Ill probably go live in a loch or something.

How do you know other humans have thoughts? There is no way of measuring it, and there is no way to tell if someone is lying about it. You could measure brain activity. But There is no need for brain activity to be accompanied by experience. There is no law of nature that says that electrical signals are accompanied by experience or thoughts. There is also no way to tell the difference between a millimeter cube of brain from any animal. So if you believe that brain activity is represented by thoughts, then there is absolutely no way to draw an arbitrary line between humans and animals.

So i don’t even think it’s a question.

I would add something about it being illegal to kill people and that being nice to everyone is a virtue!

Hello.

Remember that veganism is an ethical way of living affordable and available to everyone*. Eating and using animal products is a choice, therefore killing and abusing animals is a choice. Stop abusing immigrants to butcher animals for your taste buds, thanks. Stop falling for obvious propaganda and cheap lies by the agricultural industrial complex, thanks. This is still a message of love despite the fact that this makes you feel dissonance in yourself, you’re human, we get it. Do your best, actually try, the world needs us to be kind to animals and nature.

*as far as is possible and practicable.

Very irrelevant.

Do you even know what communism actually is? I mean do you know where it came from, and why?

If you’re 17 and in America, there isn’t a lot of hope that you have been told about this in a non-biased manner. Young people especially are susceptible to the ideology that they can make it in life through hard work and equal opportunities. You might even already have felt some success in this regard, was able to achieve a goal because you worked for it. And it all makes sense to you.

And you think, In some way or another, that communist are perverting this, maybe by giving away shit for nothing or worse want to take shit from you.

But that’s not true.

Socialism wants you to fully get your complete value of your labour for you, instead of most of it going to a boss who didn’t work. And communist want to make sure that the system doesn’t allow for bosses to make decisions about the conditions workers live in.

It has yeast eating sugars because of some problem inside the tree. This produces a lot of pressure, because of the production of co2 gas, and this is being released through a weak spot. That’s what you see outside, it’s leaking through the weak spot.

In the crown you should see dead branches and a weak crown. Most likely it has been damaged (badly pruned? ) in the past.

The long and short of it is that if it can cause damage when falling over, remove the entire tree and replace it, hire an arborist. If it doesn’t matter and you don’t care… Sit back and hope it’s going to stay alive for as long as possible. Then just literally don’t do anything, there isn’t a fix. Just remove dead wood.

At some point when I kept saying no, there wasn’t much room left for manipulative tactics exploiting my emotional bond. This was at the end of our relationship, where I started to figure out that I was taken use of. I spend thousands and a lot of time on the relationship, while my happiness drained faster than my bank account. I started to realise what was happening to me, took off the pink glasses, and so I started to say no. Which was apparently of the same magnitude of exploding nuclear bombs. Things got mental really fast. I had to just assume that it was fake threats, and if it wasn’t, not my fault.

Faked their suicide

I’m absolutely not in a financially privileged position, income wise. I’d say I’m in the bottom 30th percentile. Far less than median income.

My privilege is living in an affluent western country with affordable healthcare. And only if you’re outside of the western world could I understand having to make different choices.

And by the way… Shouldn’t especially affluent people be making these choices? Why the hell would we force homeless people to only buy linen. It’s the people who make the most who have the highest impact.

Yes. I usually join several cleaning groups per year, cleaning thrash from nature. I also don’t buy cheap plastic clothing (basically stop caring about fashionable trends) and repair as much as possible. I think about packaging when buying stuff, which I btw also limit as much as possible. Our waste stream is extremely low, with 95% going into recycling and upcycling.

I live a comfortable modern life, these are minor adjustments everybody can and should be able to make.

Always keep in mind that apathy and fomo are part of capitalist consumer ideology.

There is no such thing as ‘more deadly’. The adverse effects of smoking to your health are known. The adverse effects of nanoplastics and accompanying compounds are less well known.

If you are concerned with your health than actually be concerned with your health, stop doing unhealthy shit with any frequency. Eat plantbased, exercise, get yourself checked out at a doctor, do a blood test. You know what a healthy lifestyle looks like. Do that.

Otherwise do whatever you want. Go crazy.
