Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and objectifying that sort of ‘humor’ really is, and I regret it deeply.

I used to eat meat. Don’t anymore because the arguments against it are just that fucking strong. Basically unless you advocate for religious supremacy it’s hard to make a cohesive argument in favor of meat consumption.

Instead of a moralistic/condescending tone consider that advocating that going vegan, at least part of the week if not full time, is one of the only significant ways an individual can impact climate change. If we ate a quarter as much animal protein as we currently do we wouldn’t be heating up as fast.

True but I can’t reduce my power consumption nearly as easily
