Christmas at it’s heart is a religious holiday, it deeply bothers me, to be immersed in Christian family values for what now seems to almost two months out of the year.
I’ve never been a member of the Judeo-Christian faiths, I didn’t have a particularly good upbringing so I’m not really close with my family. I’m addition I don’t have children and I have zero plans on becoming a parent. So in short, this holiday is not for me.
Then to add insult to injury and you have the blatant consumerism. Where you are forced to be a good capitalist and spend money on gifts you can’t afford to buy gifts people for don’t really want it. Yay.
Would you be able to give examples of healthier behaviors that vegans and vegetarians perform that the general population does not?
If one made their choice to abstain from meat for ethical reasons and not health reasons I’m not sure their lifestyle would be drastically different from their counterparts, then again I’m not sure what particular behavior patterns you are referring to which could throw off studies.
Same. I came to Lemmy because Reddit sucks, I’m looking for memes, cat videos, humorous and/or thought provoking content.
Instead my all feed is filled with an echo chamber of political content. Not gonna lie, Lemmy is forum that takes itself away too seriously, I don’t interact because I don’t want to argue politics with strangers online, and I know any differing options get down voted to hell.
I really wish Lemmy had a little more fun engaging, apolitical content. If it did, I’d be all over it.
