  • As i guy it has been told to me numerous times to look for that. Guys make the first move in terms of interest and asking the lady, the ladies usually make the physical touch first move as a sign they are comfortable and to give the guy a chance to advance their moves.

    Always ask for consent but the above has been pretty normalized.



  • people will actively fight pollution

    In my experience this is false. Most people will share a Facebook post or news article then proceed to continue living their life without making personal changes because “big oil pollutes anyway” and then they also don’t go to any protests or take other actions. They won’t change the way they vote for more environmentally friendly candidates.

    Yea the land is better off when pigs are free range and able to spread their fertilizer a bit better, but the pigs produced per square foot of land is much less and thus increases the prices, as well as additional labor to care for those pigs versus a factory farmed setting. If every pig on earth was raised that way at current demand we would need a significant amount of more deforestation to allow grazing room and prices would increase significantly as well.

    Edit: ill also add that just visiting the farm doesnt pain the full picture. The pigs may still be fed some feed, which is cropland that could have been growing planta for direct human consumption. You also don’t see other impacts such as pig shit liquifiying and flowing into a local creek during periods of high rainfall.


  • That surplus is factored in to the companies making money and providing consistant demand. Prices will increase if the treatment gets better because the capitalists and oligarchs will not willingly take a profits cut. The surplus waste in the current system could be utilized better, for example fast freezing and being provided to food banks or soup kitchens.

    No matter how you cut it, if labor and land demand increases, the price will increase.


  • The better treatment balloons costs by requiring more land and more care, which significantly inflates the cost of the final products. This could be an effective measure for reducing meat consumption by people buying less to save money, many people would be against those increases.

    Its just like mass produced clothing. Since they dont see the abuse and destruction, they are satisfied with the lower prices at the store.



  • Maybe biased here but as a 30 year old man, i get more sleep now but am still more exhausted than when i was in my 20s. Life, work, and stress all take their tolls.

    Some things that may help you as they help me when I’m low on energy.

    • yoga or exercise. If I’m having a slow start to the day this can really get my blood pumping and wake me up better than sitting on the couch and drinking coffee. It also helps mid/late day. An early evening walk can counter intuitively increase my energy and motivation. The yoga is espcially nice on my days off where i just can’t get my day started.

    • a healthy diet/eating regularly. If I eat like crap i feel lethargic. If i eat a lot of sugar the crash afterwards is rough. Regular meals made with real ingredients, even if I’m not feeling that hungry, helps a lot. Reducing processed sugar and increasing fruit in my diet helped a lot. Now a pack of strawberries will actually give me a bit of a sugar buzz.

    • consistent sleep schedule. 8 hrs of sleep at a different time each week is not nearly as restful as 7 hours at the regular times. Sometimes im up late or up early due to how my work day or personal life went but most days i try to sleep and wake at the same time. If my alarm is set for 6:30 and i woke at 6 feeling okay, ill often feel better getting up at 6 than i would snoozing til 6:30. If I’m not tired but my bedtime is 9, i try to go to bed anyway. I’ll read a boring book or something to help me get to sleep.

    From your other comments I’m also thinking you may have fried your bodies natural energy levels and homeostasis from excessive caffiene intake. It will suck for a few days/weeks but i would try to quit cold turkey and see what comes of it. You can work your way back up to caffeine if you feel comfortable later on.

    A different drug but similar effect, i will often take tolerance breaks from marijuana as i find the benefits i get from it diminish with excessive use, the same is true for many drugs.
