This whole thing would be great but they had to ruin it with that. I feel you

They act like most of us even have time to make breakfast like we're living in some 90's sitcom

 

This album is based as fuck

So the issue that vegans like myself would have with that is that we don't agree that convenience is more important than an animals life. Veganism is very binary due to the definition. If you're a star wars fan, think yoda: "do or do not, there is no try". The fact that its an ethical framework means that as strong men, women, and nonbinary adults we hold ourselves to what we think is moral and right. A vegan, at a work dinner where there are no vegan options, just doesn't eat that meal and is hungry. Super inconvenienced and annoyed, but hungry. I personally believe that a lot of the things that seem hard about veganism go away with 2 things: understanding the why, and experience. As far as understanding the why, I would recommend this: https://www.dominionmovement.com/watch

Edit: this movie is graphic. If you aren't in a good mental place, wait till later. It is important for people to see what they pay for that's not a block of cheese that they buy from the store

 

I dont see it here, so figured someone's gotta post it. Here is the definition of veganism as made by the vegan society circa 1944:

"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

Veganism, as it is defined, is an ethical framework that seeks to, where practicable and possible, eliminate all forms of exploitation and harm to animals, directly or indirectly, that we can control. We tend to be specific on terms so that our movement doesn't get bogged down, so forgive me for sounding rude or dismissive as that is not my intention.

That being said, what is available to you? Perhaps I could help you out if you'd like advice. I currently use some products that would be harder to find outside of the United States, but when I first decided to be vegan I didn't have the same access and relied on much more simple ingredients

Edit: idk how to dm mods, but let me know if that breaks rule 2

Cook whatever pasta you got. Throw some silken tofu, plant milk, nooch, salt, pepper, and some kind of fat in a blender, taste and add whatever flavor you feel like. Cook some garlic, throw sauce in, add spinach, tomatoes chickpeas, or whatever veggies you want and stir the noodles in. Add more pepper. Usually the sauce is ready by the time the noodles are done so its very quick. Plus its got a bunch of b12, protein, iron, etc depending on what you put in.

 

Just joined yesterday and it seems like these communities are pretty empty. Is there a bigger one somewhere?

Just deleted reddit and moved here. Jerboa is clean as fuck. Minor improvements here/there but the fact that its open source cancels that all out. Hell I might even contribute myself

As someone who joined reddit around 2015 its pretty cool seeing a site this empty for some reason. Feels like early internet in a very cool way

Here's an example from the all feed:

Unless you mean within comments themselves

Edit: actually I see my image in the comments as well

[–] espersentinel@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I'm using the Jerboa app to use and I can definitely see images on posts from my feed. Haven't seen gifs/video yet but I've had this account for an hour

[–] espersentinel@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, ive just been subbing to all of the ones for topics I like with the idea to whittle them down later once I see which ones are the best match. If anyone has a recommendation list that would be a great post

I just switched too, this is actually my first comment. Idk why everyone on reddit said lemme was too confusing
