I guarantee you it means something to the residents of those six houses.

It’s easy to lose track of individual humanity at the scale of a war, but this victory is the one these people will always most remember when they think of the tide turning. Their lives are worth something.

Your head is so far up your own propaganda I can’t even tell what you’re trying to say here.

I honestly had a blast learning Rust. Haven’t gotten a chance to do much with the language but it definitely shifted the way I think about coding in general.

I’m not sure how this will fly here, but I want to offer a different perspective. I was someone who always respected people who made the choice to go vegan but just know myself well enough to know I would never be able to fully give up things like cheese, eggs, or meat. I’m not, like super proud about what that says about me, but it is what it is.

Since “being vegetarian” and “being vegan” were always presented as binary choices that’s kind of where the introspection stopped. I wasn’t going to “stop eating meat”, and that seemed to be the demand, you know?

Kurzgesagt’s video Why Meat is the Best Worst Thing in the World really turned me around that way of thinking. It makes a strong case that if you can’t bring yourself to totally give it up, but have sympathy for the ethical and social arguments against meat, it doesn’t have to be binary. It everyone tried to cut down how much meat they eat by 1/3, it has the same impact as 33% of meat eaters going vegan. It’s worth doing it part way.

Every since then I’ve tried to eat at least one vegetarian meal a day, preferably vegan. I won’t lie and say I always make good on it, but I’ve definitely reduced the amount I consume, and make more of an effort to incorporate things like beyond/impossible meat into recipes that I would have used beef in before, or order a vegetarian meal if the last time I went out I got something with meat. It’s not ideal, but it is more than I was doing.

I think all or nothing messages can push people away who would be willing to take some action, but not fully commit, and maybe be counter productive even if it’s cognitively easier to square.

Just my 2¢

Is there a guide for how to register on multiple Lemmy instances? I am registered here, but noticed that I can’t subscribe to communities on other instances? I assume I need to register there as well, but how do I get my subscriptions on both instances to funnel into the same place?

Thanks! Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this
