What you eat is a personal choice from what’s available to you. Some people can’t afford organic vegetables and can only get protein from animal sources because they subsistence farm. Some people live in industrialized societies and have the time and resources to make most of their own food from scratch and not eat anything from animals (that’s me).
Grandstanding about it on the internet or thinking one way or another is superior abstracts this to philosophy and outside of reality. Ultimately its a choice and moralizing it or talking about hypotheticals or judging others character based on your own beliefs is ridiculous. Some people think meat is murder, some people hunt species that are over populated because humans have killed all the predators, there’s always a counter point to every part of the discussion.
You have Jains in India causing public health crises feeding pigeons and causing disease to spread, and you have people eating meat contaminated with shit giving them e coli from factory farms. There’s people that hunt and respect the animals they kill to feed their families, and people that grow their own food in their backyard because they have time and property.
It’s all relative, it’s all a personal nuanced choice. Ive heard the same moralistic arguments ad nauseum, there’s no one way to live and no one way to eat in this current world.
I dont think most people on this thread do. Who here is of higher rank or social status or superior? I dont think anyone does, they just want to grandstand in the comments.
Seems the person that posted who is vegan thinks they are. Seems the people making all sorts of comments are also defending themselves or think they are superior.
It’s always been funny to watch this. Who gives a fuck what you eat and why, its a personal choice not a morally superior quasi-religious issue.
Im old enough for pre you tube. No one taught me to cook. I stopped eating meat and dairy pre 18 years old and either had to learn myself or eat crap stuff.
I started with a few cook books and simple stuff. Made the same thing over and over again and refine it, like a stir fry. What I learned then translates to the next thing.
I try to learn a few “new” dishes or techniques every year and its built up over 20+ years…
Doesn’t ro kahna take tech money? Not trying to shit on him, he is better than most. Google is his top donor. He says a lot of good stuff in interviews.

Compare that to AOC, looks like most of her funding is small donations. I’d vote for more people funded like that given the choice (ha not like there’s much choice).
That looks like a shallow crack. If the shower is constructed appropriately there is a moisture barrier behind it that does the real water proofing work.
If the shower is appropriately built then the moisture barrier is probably fine and will keep doing its job. I’d buy some white caulk and seal it up, or better yet an epoxy unsanded grout from a tile shop that matches the color (comes in a tube like caulking).
If the crack gets worse over time after sealing, then it might indicate some shifting or defective installation.
Could be something as small as insufficient mortar behind the tile as it was applied. If you tap the area and hear a hollow sound that could be an indication of insufficient mortar coverage. If you dont, then it could indicate some settling or shifting in the backer substrate, at which point id try to get in behind that wall and see what’s up.
Im not an expert but I’ve rebuilt three showers DIY so just sharing what I’ve learned educating myself on how to do it right.
