It's okay not to know. English is spoken in a lot of different places in different ways. I doubt that in your 40 years you've explored this.

Google Trends shows that it's most popular in Malaysia and the Philippines, relative to its use in other countries.

Try overnight oats using jumbo oats

[–] teuniac_@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Leave 50g jumbo oats and 100ml soy milk and some cinnamon mixed in a closed container overnight in your fridge. Then in the morning add a splash of additional soy milk, other stuff*, and some honey.

The other stuff I use (all at the same time):

  • pear/strawberries (depending on season)
  • walnuts
  • milled flaxseed
  • Brazil nuts
  • omega 3 seed mix (cheap and healthy)
  • dried cranberry (or raisins)
  • macadamia nuts

You can also use a nut mix (without peanuts). I just don't because I don't tolerate hazelnut well.

This breakfast is super useful because it includes so many nuts, which are recommended but quite tricky to include in one's diet. And it adds a ton of fiber and a piece of fruit.

No, that's a welfare state

Autumn's beautiful though. It's just that shorter days and the reason can make it a bit depressing.

Taiwan is a full democracy, not a flawed one. At least according to the widely respected Economist Democracy Index.

Taiwan is more democratic than Canada and Germany. And a lot more than the US, but that's not surprising.

I feel the same way. She is also way too well known for any expert to be fooled into thinking it's going to be a serious interview

European here.

Have never shot anyone. Not owning a gun means that I'll probably continue not shooting people. It's a very effective method.

How is that respect?

Hi lamb, I respect you. However, I'm okay with you being killed to become with food. You don't want this, so I guess I don't respect what you want. But other than that I respect you.

Doesn't sound like real respect to me.

As a vegan, don't you respect the plants you eat?

Like a dead lamb, plants don't benefit from my respect.

I'm vegan now, previously vegetarian. But before this I was in exactly the same position as you describe. It's the first time that I'm actually hearing of someone who admits there can be an inconsistency between your own behaviour and your values.

Depending on what it is, sticking to your values is hard and requires changing your behaviour and habits. Your environment matters a lot. For me it was easy to switch to a vegetarian diet because my partner loves experimenting with cooking and collecting recipes. For many it won't be this simple.

I used to think it would be easy for people generally to admit that it's pretty unlikely that they're sticking to all of their values, but apparently it's not. I think it's impressive how you're managing not to let personal pride determine your opinion on this!

Read this other comment and understand why people mention they are vegetarian or vegan: https://lemmy.world/comment/4652396

It's only admirable to be vegan if I agree with veganism, and I don't.

Veganism is mostly a diet.. not a religion. What does it even mean to say that you disagree with it? If some people feel like they should be vegan and they put effort into it and are willing to give things up, why shouldn't this be admirable?

death is a part of life, and having meaning in death to provide nutrition for continuation of life is just a reality.

You're missing something pretty important here. Death is part of life is an argument that you'd use to try and justify hunting. Farming also means breeding more animals that will be raised for their meat and killed after a few years.

Globally, 60% of all large mammals are livestock. It's a crazy number and there is nothing natural about this. The killing isn't the root problem, producing/breeding huge numbers of animals is.

Death might be a natural part of the circle of life, but we're artificially starting this circle for many farm animals. If we'd stop doing this at such an insane scale, we wouldn't need to discuss their death (or quality of life)

Importantly, this is something that we choose to do even though we don't have to. The owl has to hunt for mice and isn't able to choose not to. This makes our moral position not comparable to owls or any other animal.
