  • In my experience, the ones who tell you unprompted that they’re vegan are usually relatively new to the diet and are more likely to be treating it as a short term fad diet than the more dedicated ethical vegans.

    I’ve known people 10+ years vegan and they’re super healthy and active. So its really just that the fortifications in the US food system are targeted at non-vegans so you need to be more intentional about your diet as a vegan in the US.












  • Over the years I think I care less about some public apology or statement to accept that a creator has moved past old behavior (I assume you’re talking about the bridge, I don’t really follow PewDiePie).

    We see too many fake apologies and if it’s been some time, apologizing just gives an opportunity for viewers to dogpile when someone is trying to move past something.

    I think if it’s been a few years and he’s clearly shown to have grown past it, that’s enough for me. You never really know what a content creator’s private beliefs are just how they choose to use their public persona.


  • It’s a case of “we do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they would be easy”

    The admin wants to be these lofty world changing leaders and refuse to listen to people who tell them things are more complicated than they are. They don’t read about other countries or governments outside of their own propaganda so they are really that dumb and flying blind.


  • As an NYC resident, cars will move over if there’s space, but there’s so much congestion that you physically can’t move, there’s no shoulder or anything.

    And there’s also idiots who are fighting congestion pricing that helps with these kinds of problems by reducing the number of cars on the road. You can’t widen these roads without getting rid of sidewalks which just means even more cars and traffic so the only option is reduce the number of cars.
