Putting the actual news aside, I fucking hate how every time I read or hear this guy's name, the first person I think of is Mark Rober.

...does he not realize that homelessness relates to the mental health crisis?

Amazes me that people are stupid enough to think people simply choose to live like this.

Oh cool! Canadian myself, but down to give Chicago stuff a try since they seem to have a lot of cool food from there.

I have a vegetarian cookbook that has some vegan recipes in it. Saw some things that looked good using cauliflower, so looking forward to seeing what's there!

Thanks! I'll be sure to give it a look tonight!

 

Hey all,

Obligatory not a vegan, though I am wanting to move more in the direction of fully doing so, kinda in a transition phase atm where I'm figuring out what dishes I can make that I enjoy, and that's the issue I'm kinda dealing with currently that's preventing me from doing a full swap.

I was wondering what websites y'all recommend for vegan recipes. I recently came across Veggieboards, which is a great resource, but beyond that I'm a bit lost. I'm hoping to find more simple recipes since I'm just starting out in the kitchen and trying to get a hang of things. As an example, I've recently been trying to make hummus at home, and I quite literally need to smooth the recipe a bit since it came out lumpy when I made it last. Another example is black bean burgers, where getting them to hold together/firm up has been a pain despite how good they taste.

Thanks in advance!

I should probably explore more synthwave. This stuff is pretty dope.

That's honestly so adorable.

I know how dangerous bears can be but it's hard not to look at that photo and not be in awe at how cute they look all hanging out on the tree together. Just hope their presence in the area didn't cause any major safety issues for too long.

Meant to comment on this when I first saw it.

It sucks, but after my Kbin instance was swapping over to Mbin (quick shoutout to tuckerm at supermeter.social, dude's fucking awesome), I decided to give Lotide a shot, and unfortunately, the instance I signed up for didn't seem to federate at all for the communities I subscribed to.

If people want a federated Reddit alternative that isn't Lemmy or Mbin, I'm on PieFed rn and it's honestly been great so far. I like that the source code is on Codeberg, which is what made me swap to Kbin from Lemmy to begin with.

There's also Brutalinks, which has their source code on SourceHut like Lotide does, but I've yet to find a live instance of it: https://git.sr.ht/mariusor/brutalinks

Lol, I formatted the title correctly, but seems character limits differ between instances.

But yes, the full name of the song includes the portion in brackets.

Genre is Hypercore, Year released is 2022

 

Hey all,

While I'm aware that most issues regarding reducing greenhouse gasses land more on companies and governments than they do on individual responsibility, I still want to work on forming my diet to overall be more climate-friendly.

I'm curious if there's a website that compares the carbon footprint of certain foods. Since I'm currently modifying my diet to be more healthy and nutritious, I was also thinking about maybe making some changes where possible that are more friendly to the environment.

What brought up this thought is that I'm currently making sweetened drinks at home using zero-calorie sweeteners, and with the options I have available and how little they differ from one another in my eyes, I was curious which option between Stevia and Sucralose was more environmentally friendly, and then it became a more general question as to where I can compare these things.

Thanks in advance!

 

Hey all!

So I'm a cis guy who's only queer in the sense that I'm demisexual heteroromantic. Recently to my surprise, I've gotten into a relationship, and more surprising is the fact that the woman I'm dating is trans. Without coming off the wrong way, I never thought I'd find myself in a relationship with someone who's trans, and thankfully so far it seems as if there isn't a whole lot about dating her that's too different from my previous relationships, putting aside of course that she's easily been the best partner I've had to date.

The thing is, she's still working on her transition. While I think she does an incredible job presenting herself for who she truly is to the world, she's not quite fully at the point where she wants to be just yet with. Namely, she wants to do some work with her voice, and get top surgery.

Now what I want to do of course is be the most supportive partner I can be and help her with getting to where she wants to be. She mentioned that she has a lot of trouble with voice training, and in looking things up online, I came across voice feminization surgery. I brought it up to her, and she seems to have really appreciated me telling her about it.

In terms of top surgery, I've been looking into it, and was looking into the different types of implants available. I read that silicone implants apparently feel the most natural and comparable to regular developed breasts, and while I want to give her all the options available, I also think that silicone would likely be the best option of the different types for that reason, especially since she's questioned her validity as a woman before and I want her to feel like and be her true self.

However, I've been reflecting a bit. While I'm happy to explore these things and learn more about them to try and help her find what's best for her, I also don't want her to get the wrong idea of things. While it hasn't been the case to date that she's taken things this way, even specifically telling me she appreciates what I'm doing, I also worry about either getting potentially too involved in her personal life, giving the wrong idea that I'm making suggestions based on my own interests rather than hers, or that I might lead her make a decision where the end result doesn't match the person she is and wants to fully be.

What can I do as a partner for her who's cis to best assist her with her journey in transitioning? Where should my place be in supporting her through her journey? How can I prevent myself from making a good-intentioned suggestion that might not end up being the most affirming thing for her? How can I ensure that I'm giving her all the information she needs accurately, without unknowingly pushing options that might not work best for her?

Thanks in advance, I'll be sure to start responding once I wake up and will take any criticism and critique as needed.
