  • There are a lot of calories lost when eating meat, because the animals burn calories by staying alive. So eating meat is like eating 15x times more calories from veggies. So everything bad for the environment about vegetarian consumption is true for meat too but in worse.

    And perfect is the enemy of good. Veggies aren’t perfect, but they’re far better than meat for the environment.

    Some of those are useless calories, we can’t eat grass and on some lands where only grass grows so cows are a way of using that grass, but that’s not the majority.




  • While the whole world is getting worse, my life is going to get so much better.

    In less than a month I’m going back to my home country of France. I will be able to go see my girlfriend after so long ! I will get my first apartment with my own shower and toilet instead of this 7m2 dorm. I even get to renovate it to get the exact look I want. It may sound ridiculous, but I’m looking forward to starting an apprenticeship at this company, I was there for two months and actually liked it. I may be able to get the first surgery I need, and go back to a civilised health care system.

    I was like dead doing nothing for years, and now I have projects I am passionate about, people I love and care for and so much to look forward to.

    I just hope that my gender will not be in the way of that, and that they don’t destroy the world before I can start to live.





  • That was meant to be ironic but it got lost it seems ;-;

    What I meant was that, If you see stairs next to the escalator, most people just take the escalator. Same as if a bus is going where you are going to, most just take it without thinking.

    I wanted to show that shaming her for taking the bus was ridiculous, just as shaming people taking the escalator instead of the stairs was ridiculous.

    Do you take the escalator, or do you walk up the stairs ?

    What a weakling you are for choosing the escalator.

    Edit :

    It seems that the irony got lost : most people just take the escalator for a mere 50 steps, just as most people would just take the bus if it’s convenient. So all people in this thread shaming her are quite ridiculous.

    As for me, I take the stairs instead of the elevator daily (5th floor) and wouldn’t get on the bus because I have strong social anxiety.

    I learned negative as being a separate operation where we need to apply the order of operations. I think it was something like : -2 is a diminutive for -1x2 so it uses the order of operations of a multiplication.
    My calculator is the official one used in schools in France (ti-83 premium ce) and it says -2^2 = -4 with the negative key. I don’t think it would make a mistake in such a simple concept.

    But whatever these concepts can change depending on the field, country, level of education. What I mean is : it’s unclear, so use parentheses. So (-2)^2 or -(2^2) are the correct ways to write it.
