      I would argue we shouldn’t live without it, but it does need to be cut back and less glorified. There are soo many alternatives that are healthier, cheaper, better for environment but you should still be able to have a medium rare steak and some chicken wings when you want it.

        well as of the ethics doing a bad thing once is still having done a bad thing, but I guess sure if you want to decrease animal suffering the fastest realistic way, getting 10 people to reduce their consumption trumps 3 people completely cutting their meat consumption. (yet you’ll still have 10 people exploiting animals for their “products” who should be living without doing just that. vegan btw)

          As a vegetarian, we can all tell that you’re vegan. The disclaimer wasn’t necessary.

          This aggressive behavior and labeling isn’t productive if your goal is to persuade people to try something entirely new to them (remove meat from their diet).

            Yeah they could have left out the whole judgemental thing about animal suffering and be more encouraging. Instead they chose to be an insufferable, smug and arrogant microaggressor.

          You need to break yourself of that. I was at two a day for a few years and often suffered withdrawals.

              I stock up on those things, they’re damn expensive! But I just think about how I feel when I drink too many, the fact that it is controlling me, not the other way around and reject that. If you drink eight a day, cut back to seven, then six and so on. You’ll get there.

    Coffee.

    I don’t need fancy coffee every day, especially with the inflated prices. I did the math and it’s over $200/mo spent on coffee.

    I stopped getting it every day, but I can’t seem to kick the habit on weekends.

      fyi, that coffee you are buying isn’t “fancy.” Buy yourself actual fancy coffee and grind and brew it yourself. I bet you could get some extremely amazing brew say, $250/lb and it would be cheaper then then the shit you buy daily.

        Oh, yeah, no, it’s definitely not coffe that’s actually fancy, I just mean dressed up coffee. Iced vanilla latte with an extra shot of espresso is my jam.

        Now I use a morning blend with my Kureg and froth up some milk with a shot of vanilla syrup and drink that.

        It never tastes as good, but ohwell.

    Weed from the Netherlands. Tobacco. I stopped smoking for 9 years and now I’m on 2-3 joints a day. Fuck. Should at least use my vaporizer again.
