Removing dairy from my diet

But it sure as hell ups my chances if I also have access to a weapon (and am thoroughly trained with it, unlike many people)

Fight fire with fire

I'm not going to let some random piece of shit robber walk all over me and take control of a situation just because they have more firepower

I'd rather not leave my chances up to a random robber who potentially has mental instability.

Better than being dead...

Yeah, I recommend checking out some reading material by Dr. Jason Fung to get some pretty good ideas of how our bodies handle fasting.

I honestly get the majority of my vegan dish ideas from YouTube. It helps convince me to eat healthy because the meals are always so colorful and fulfilling-looking. My favorite recipe Channels are "PIck up Limes" and "Rachel Ama"

We spay and neuter to prevent unwanted offspring who will potentially just be abandoned or end up in a kill shelter. Also, neutering eliminates the chances of you male dogs dying of testicular cancer.

There is legitimate reason for spay and neutering. Cutting off your dog's body parts for the sake of looks is not a good reason.

There is a reason that many European countries tries, Canada, and Australia have banned the practice of ear cropping.

Why do you feel the need for your dog's ears to be pointed and sharp? Is it so they look "ferocious", because if so, you are actively contributing to the negative stereotype that Dobermans and bully breeds are all ferocious and scary, and thus dangerous and need to be put down.

Cropping and docking just because it is "breed standard" doesn't make it acceptable.

Tires, shoes

Basically anything that stays between you and the ground, pay for the higher quality stuff

Dang, yeah if that's the case, I'd say rice milk or just water are your best bet

Bob's red mill has gluten free oats. I usually find that brand at health food stores like Sprouts, but you can also order it

Make some homemade oatmilk, just use certified gluten free oats if you are super gluten sensitive

I have successfully cultured yogurt with soy milk using vegan starter:

It did take some trial and error to get it the right consistency, but you can also add fruit pectin in to make it firmer.

If it only affected those who chose to not get vaccinated and mask up, sure.

But there are so many people who can't get the vaccine or are too immuno-compromised for it to work, such as people dealing with cancer. Do we just let them fall to the wayside as collateral damage? They did everything right but their bodies won't let them be protected by a vaccine, and masking only works if everyone wears them

Greek couscous salad

I use this recipe, minus the feta obviously. I also often switch the chickpeas for black beans

It doesn't matter of someone NEEDS it, what matters is, if they can afford it and utilize it safely in a manner that does not harm others, they should be allowed to have it.

Rich people don't NEED to have a Ferrari, which is a vehicle that is wayyy overkill for any kind of daily use. However, as long as they are using it responsibly, they should be allowed to have it and no one bats an eye.

But as far as reasons go? Police take several minutes to arrive when called, so you often have to take matters into your own hands to keep your family safe during a break in. I go hunting (mostly for deer) but wild hogs are a beast to contend with and often are in packs of 20 or more, so yeah you do in fact need a semi-automatic weapon to stand a chance against them. Also, I don't know if you realize just how close we are to society crumbling away if something goes wrong. Need I remind you how batshit crazy everyone was when toilet paper was in short supply? Now imagine what people will act like when there is a legitimate food shortage, people WILL be killing each other. And you have the right to protect yourself by any means necessary, so having a semi-auto allows one to be prepared for the ever-present possibility of the world going to shit.

Oblivion!!!

Oblivion Also skyrim

Calm down there, buddy.

It's called giving what's been coming to them. Essentially doing the work of karma.

That parking lot is a fucking nightmare on the weekends and some shitty dude decided to make a conscious effort to take away three separate spots for other vehicles. Fuck em. Deflate the damn tires. They think they are better than everyone else and deserve more room to park. So teach em a lesson showing that's not the case

Garlic aioli

The crazy life of Ching Shih, she was one of the best pirates in history. At one point, she controlled over 800 large ships and over a thousand smaller vessels with literally tens of thousands of men and women serving under her.

Black beard ain't got shit on her!

One thing to try when taking meds during fasting is to mix like a teaspoon of chia seeds with some water and eat that before your meds. It's only like 20 calories so it shouldn't pull you out of a fasted state enough to affect weightloss

Get reptiles!!

Moderate high end fashion store catering to early-twenties women

I get either the iced flat white with coconut milk, or the iced matcha green tea latte with coconut milk

Their soy lattes are pretty good too
