Yeah, agreed. Life wants to live. Pain and fear is something animals feel so they can get away from potential harm. If you’re immobile like a plant, it doesn’t make sense to feel pain. Plus you don’t have a brain nor a central nervous system. 70% of global crops are fed to animals. Stop eating animals and grow forests there, to make our planet healthier.

Plants have feelings too
No, they do not. There is no serious study to suggest that they do. Plants do not have a brain or central nervous system. At most, they respond to stimuli. If you really care that much about the welfare of plants, you should go vegan, since many more plants “die” for animal feeding.
Do you feel bad while mowing your lawn? And would you rather rescue a potted plant than a dog from a burning house? Is docking pig tails the same as branch trimming to you? Question upon question… - Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I agree (and the downvote wasn’t me), this is talking from a privileged position. My thoughts on downsizing and No, thank you still apply though.

Not sure if this is good advice. by joining the gamble, you’re (micro-)fueling the global suicide machine that’s causing all this. Someone has to earn the money that you make, and it’s usually either by destruction, exploitation or scamming.
I try to break free from all this stuff by downsizing. Second hand clothes, Repair Café, holidays at youth hostels like 40 km from my home, meeting/making local friends and very important: raising your kids to not be spoiled, entitled, materialistic cunts. That’s the power of No, thank you.
It’s so calming to switch to a lower gear and find happiness in baking a cake from handpicked apples than another TV and holiday in Asia. - Comment on Get over yourself 3 weeks ago:

Please read (or listen to) How not to die. It is a great book, funny and full of cool information, it changed my life a little.

Lab meat is a distraction to keep consumers from changing their ways. Like hydrogen for Big Oil, they keep telling us that this technology will have a great impact … In the future! Until then, we don’t need to worry and just continue giving dirty money for their destructive product to an evil industry. All while alternatives in form of plant based meat / solar are getting better and cheaper by the minute.
Seriously, did you try plant meats in the past months? There is no need to wait for lab grown meat anymore. Just buy plant based alternatives and get used to a food that tastes mostly like the animal tissue you’re accustomed to. - Comment on Anon looks into cults 3 months ago:
Same here! I still thinking about it after years.

Of you haven’t watched Wild wild country and/or Raël yet you should now. It’s incredible.

Wikipedia says it’s written by all four members of the band. And I agree, they’re super mainstream and unremarkable but Viva la Vida is perfect. The lyrics are epic, poetic, wise, sad and true. The instrumental is flawless, simple yet classy with these strings and the choir. The atmosphere is unlike any other song I’ve ever head and it’s breathtaking even after listening for the 100th time. A true masterpiece.

This was decades ago. There was a Reggae Revival in the 2010ths, lots of great artists which stopped promoting homophobia and violence. The US were super homophobic a couple of decades ago. So let’s not judge this island too hard, change needs time.

This is so strange of you start to think about it: A whole country decided to ask about your feelings, which is a super deep question. But it doesn’t accept anything other than “fine”. Like, you are not greeting someone by wishing them well, or peace or welcoming them, but by demanding a fixed fake answer to make the one who greets look like they are care. But they do not. So every conversation has to start with a lie by the person who was greeted first.

Punch a hole in the neck of a small water bottle using a (hot) needle or a cork screw. Fill the bottle with water, close the lit and spray your ass by holding the bottle upside down and squeezing it. I used this 1$ Ghetto-Bidet for years!

Nah, it’s great, seriously. Saves me a cup of coffee in the morning. :)

This is from a German shop but I’m sure you’ll find this everywhere. It’s dirt cheap and or family uses it daily for years.

- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 9 months ago:
I read an interview with the guy, he said that there are only a few fallen civilizations left to talk about and that he wants to end his podcast with an episode about us and our (first time ever) global civilization. Looking forward to that.
On the other hand, I read and listened to Kim Stanley Robinson a lot. In this podcast, he explains why he doesn’t want to write dystopian novels because they trap our mind. I think he has a point. - Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 9 months ago:
My country looked up to the US as a charismatic winner with a big ego and an anger problem, who turned full coked up psychopath now. I listened to the Fall of Civilizations-Podcast a lot and this feels like one. It’s scary to watch and feel sorry for all the good people living in this mess. But I agree, there is no sympathy left. Let the raging insanity humble this evil empire.

Muscle tissue needs to be cut from a dead animal. If you eat it, you pay for their exploitation and suffering with your money. You pay for destruction (deforestation, lakes of shit, you name it) as well. If you don’t, it doesn’t happen, so it’s your choice. - Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 9 months ago:
I honestly don’t understand. Where did I lie?
