First, hello everyone! I've been lurking around here for a while but this is my first time working up the nerve to post something. I realized a couple of months ago that I may be on the spectrum but I'm still very much in the figuring-things-out stages, and I've consequently been paying more attention to my behaviors and thought patterns to try to identify things that fit/things that don't.There is something that I do that I've become more aware of recently but I have a difficult time explaining it, and I'm not really sure what kind of behavior or thought pattern it falls under. I find that I sort of have a hard time understanding the intent of questions sometimes, and I won't really know wh

Hello, r/vegan - I'm looking for peer-reviewed sources about a particular issue. As I'm sure many of you encounter often, a lot of people claim that veganism is inaccessible and that it's only possible thanks to the modern food system. Vegans usually defend against that kind of criticism by pointing to the historical validity of a plant-based diet - many cultures around the word, before Western colonialism, tended to follow plant-based diets because they are cheaper and more accessible (since eating plants directly is obviously more efficient than feeding them to animals), and that it's more true to say the high rate of meat-eating is in fact more due to the modern food system.

However, the

Last weekend, I was having a bout of sadness over how my friends continue to treat animals in spite of all the evidence and arguments I've presented about why they should stop. Eventually I was so sad that I just wanted to curl up with tea and a blanket and watch one of my favorite movies - the problem is, all of my favorite movies tend to have people eating animals, wearing animal skins, or verbally degrading animals (speciesist slurs and such). In those moods, I get really sensitive to those things and I have trouble blocking it out and deriving enjoyment from those sources. So I'm just wondering if there are any novels and movies out there that don't include overt animal abuse! I know it'

Radical! Nutjob! WAVES BACON IN YOUR FACE! STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO YOU VEEGUN LOBBYIIIST! Edit: Also, you're basically a member of ISIS.

/uj/ Context: Just basically had someone tell me I should try not to go to jail because I refused to tell them I respect their decision, it was...a somewhat humorous overreaction /rj/

I mean if I stopped exploiting them then that might mean I was working cooperatively with other animals to keep the world from turning into a burnt-out husk and since that's a moral thing to do I obviously can't do that. Because the system is amoral and so by being moral I am anti-human progress or something, I don't know, I confused myself.

Hello, r/vegan! This is my first time posting here. And on reddit in quite a while. I became vegan just a couple of weeks ago, after having been vegetarian for a year, and making the push to vegan has made me, shall we say, a lot more passionate about the reasons behind doing so. Naturally, I want to be a compelling advocate for it.

I have a lot of friends who care about the environment, but no one I know seems to understand how far-ranging the consequences of animal agriculture are. I myself am only vaguely aware - I know it contributes to many, if not all, known environmental issues, but I'm not sure about the mechanisms. I've tried bringing up that animal agriculture is more damaging to

Hi everyone...this seems like a really cool community. I've been subscribed for a while but haven't had the time to make my wishlist (forgive its sparseness, I'll add stuff as I think of it) or post or anything until recently (grad student, things get crazy!), but here I am now. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Edit: Thanks for all the welcomes, that was fast!

Jaime was only a little under two years old. We rescued him from a Petco where he'd lost two feet and was very underweight. When I pointed him out to the manager, the manager was like, "Oh, really? I guess we'll offer a discount on him and get him in his own tank." I still feel the rage welling when I think about that.

I got him because I didn't want him to die there. He had so much spunk, so much life; and all this time that we've had him he's been nothing but a survivor. In spite of missing a back foot and a front foot, he still insisted on climbing everything, including a wicker basket that we kept shoes in - it was practically a vertical surface and he still managed to climb it. He clim

So let me first say that I was pretty happy with the Extended Cut. It wasn't perfect...it didn't fix any of the major plot holes...but it gave me the closure I needed.

That being said, I have a strong personal need for story continuity, and I go to sometimes ridiculous lengths to maintain it...and there's one thing I'm really still struggling to conceptualize. I don't understand how what Sovereign said to us in Mass Effect 1 is consistent with what we're told in Mass Effect 3.

The main reason, I imagine, is because the story writers changed, but like I said...continuity at any cost. My biggest issue with Sovereign is that he says "There is a realm of existence so far beyond your own you ca
