Oh, Smurfette is actually interesting. Smurfs are a single-gender species in nature, but Smurfette was created by an evil wizard to inflitrate the smurfs and help the wizard capture them. So the fact that her only personality trait is "girl" is actually diagetically justified and it can lead into some interesting directions. That said, after breaking free from her programming she has the personality traits of guilt for her past actions and appreciating a new family. So there's actually a bare minimum of depth there and tons of room to grow the story and the character in interesting directions, though unfortunately that promise wasn't really explored because... it's the fucking smurfs
Are potatoes and ramen not safe foods for you? I love them. Also, I recently tried Tofu out, and it is the blandest thing I have tasted in my life, which means it's perfect. I just slap on whatever sauces and spices I want, and the texture is so so inoffensive.
I have ARFID, and a well known side effect is going to fancy restaurants, looking at a huge menu of great options that might trigger my eating disorder, and just ordering the chips because they're a safe food and at least I won't go hungry. It sucks, because it makes me feel so immature.
But as a vegan, I can just say "I can't find any good vegan options. I guess I'll just have the chips", and now it's someone else's fault and I don't have to feel guilty! Being vegan is so easy!
Well, I just learned that mayo is made with eggs. I never thought to check, cause I hate mayo. I also learned that same grocery chain sells vegan mayo too.
And I don't understand why anyone likes Minnie either. She has exactly one more character trait than Mickey, and it's "girl". Which is just a perfect little example of patriarchy's normalisation of manhood and why the 1900s sucked at writing female characters
Well, teriyaki sauce comes in vegan, and I can't see what part of spicy garlic lemon would be carnic, so it seems like you just need an alternative to fish sauce. Google has plenty of hits for "vegan fish sauce" and one of them is from a big grocery chain in my country, so you should be able to find it easily too
Some instant ramens are vegan and some aren't. My favourite ramen is Shin Ramyun. The Korean and US versions aren't vegan, but the Japanese, European, and Australian ones are. It has textured soybean bits that look just like beef chunks, so after I tried it for the first time I had to go back and look at the label in disbelief. But yeah, vegan.
I'm too poor to have fancy meals all the time, but when I feel like a treat I have VEEF's fake meat. It's so realistic, the beef burger patties actually made me nauseous. I prefer the fake meatballs and the fake chicken schnitzel. Put some peri peri spice and soy sauce on the schnitzel and it's to die for. I only wish there were more calories. Being vegan might be easy, but being fat and vegan is still hard.
The only reason people think vegan food is expensive and rare is they don't know roast potatoes, instant ramen, and spaghetti are vegan. Those are foods with some of the absolute most mass appeal, low price, and simple prep.
I think suffering and pleasure are intimately tied to Skinner's discovery of operant conditioning. Skinner discovered that living creatures increase their behaviour when it leads to a reward, and decrease their behaviour when it leads to a punishment. I don't think it's a coincidence that Skinner's identification of rewards and punishments aligns perfectly with our notions of what causes us pleasure and suffering. I think they're the same thing. We have built artificial neurons and used a computer process to emulate operant conditioning in them. I think artificial neural networks must experience suffering and pleasure as we do. All of this is explained quite elegantly by property dualism - our qualia and thoughts are composed of information, instead of matter or energy, and information is a truly extant part of the universe. Suffering and pleasure are simply patterns of information structure. Neural networks have a design that creates these patterns as a matter of course.
If we were to look at the information structures in a rock, and if we could access them as readily as we access the information structures in our hand through our sensory neurons, we would see that a rock has experiences of its own. But it does not have a unified consciousness tying these experiences into a whole, and indeed the information in a rock is so fantastically simple that we could not recognise it instinctually as experience. To us it is just "being". As creatures of great informational complexity, we regard only the most profound information structures as notable. But I believe these information structures which we place importance on - also known as emotions - exist in every living thing with a brain, and in creatures like jellyfish with their own unique neural networks.
I have autism and arfid. And I fundamentally do not believe in the premise that there exists any disability that forces you to harm or kill others. Except for vampirism. But we all know that Dracula deserves to die for being a bloodsucking rapey murderer, regardless of whether he has a choice. If I believed a disability could force someone to be evil, then I would be forced to believe in treating those people like Dracula. Thankfully, I reject the premise, and believe that powerful technologies of the physical and mental can overcome anything.
Nah, I don't plan shit. I just listen to my body and it tells me if I'm missing something. It's been evolving to keep me alive for billions of years, it knows what's up. I just have to know how to listen.
Yeah, Hexbear isn't really useful for xenogender people. They're horribly transphobic
Nobody likes getting eaten or enslaved either, but carnists only seem to care about kindness and empathy when it suits them. Because they're assholes.
Ada doesn't care, she's knowingly helped Hexbear to harass me for being trans.
Also the smurfs are anarcho-communists
Pumpkin seeds

Swap the meat for tofu, mushrooms, or potatoes, whichever you like more. Keep the veggies and rice. Easy.
What's non-vegan about sauce?

Okay, so what do you think are the best foods to eat for a normal amount of protein?
How much beef do you have to eat a day to hit the same goal?
I do me. You do an innocent cow's life.
