It's not entirely on you. Accusing you of mansplaining is not cool, she should've just said something like "i'm sharing this because I'm looking for emotional support, not solutions, so please stop trying to solve my problems when I'm just venting".

In a sense, how people react to having problems shared with them is a cultural difference, neither is right or wrong but they can be jarring and confusing when you're used to one culture but interact with a different one. But it's not fair to just assume the other culture is acting in bad faith

The difference between veganism and religion is that one is based on facts, the other is not.

• It's true that other species of animals are sentient, they have nervous systems similar enough to ours that we know they can feel pleasure and pain.
• It's true that we kill billions of them per year.
• It's true that the vast majority of them are factory farmed (74% worldwide, 99% in the US).
• It's true that humans at all stages of life can thrive on a properly planned vegan diet, according to most major health organizations.
• It's true that animal agriculture is extremely inefficient and loses a lot of calories from crops being put towards feeding animals (see: trophic levels)
• It's true that animal agriculture has a huge impact on the environment compared to feeding crops directly to humans.

so get out of here with that nonsense that veganism is religious zealotry. I don't have time to cite a source for each point, but they're all super easily verified. Veganism is looking at the impact of your choices with clear eyes and choosing compassion over personal pleasure. It's choosing to live and let live, rather than forcing death and misery on other species because you like the taste of their flesh and secretions.

“When Trump won, my husband was so upset he wanted me out of our apartment. The rage was unexplainable — I mean honest rage. I could not understand this emotion in him and why anyone would let a political vote destroy or nearly destroy a marriage,” he said.

if you vote for someone who'd like to make your marriage illegal, it's gonna strain the marriage duuude

I think there's also a power aspect. Your mom is your parent, someone with some power or status over you, so if someone sleeps with her they're now on the level of your parents, it implies that you're no longer equal peers but a step-parent/child relationship

Honestly tho a dating site that's not incentivized to keep people on the dating site makes a lot of sense

Fuck animal agriculture. It's normalized animal abuse, and it needs to end.

/e/OS is android lol. Yes it's better than the version of android that ships with phones by default, but grapheneos is still way better than e/os (even though they're all android)

The crispness of this photo for such an ancient screenshot is incredible
