Maintain eye contact.

Shit makes me so uncomfortable. Look at me all you want, that’s fine. I’m going to look at that plant.

If you want to look at that plant, I’ll look at you, but you can’t have both.

Unless we both look at the plant. That’s fine too.

You’re not alone in not living up to your principles, virtually nobody can.

I once tried to vet all the products I was buying to make sure I wasn’t contributing to slave labour, or deforestation, or animal exploitation, and it was exhausting.

It was good to identify brands which were absolute villains, and I still avoid them like the plague, but the amount of willpower it takes to travel to multiple stores and pick only the lesser of evils is something I’m not capable of right now.

I make gradual improvements, which is sustainable.

I am dead-set on repairing what I can, and hate spending money on new things.

My mother does wildlife rescues, birds are mostly, then goes home and cooks a roast chicken.

She knows it’s hypocritical. Cognitive dissonance is weird.

Also, it’s not so alienating. I attend dinners with my family, and I’ll eat roast vegies, and bring a side-dish for myself. Over time a few of my friends became vegan (I didn’t convince them to) and it’s exciting to share recipes.

If nothing else, reduce your meat intake over time.

As with most changes people make, the more drastic, the more unlikely it is to stick.

When I became vegan I was a slut for KFC burgers, and I “failed” a few times, but I just kept reminding myself it’s not good for anyone, and mustered up the will power to drive past, and eat at home instead.

That’s why I always:

I think they meant the giver.

No Terraria :(

You can’t trick me, I know a bullet hell when I see one.

For the uninitiated, the game was banned, not because of the gratuitous violence, extreme drug use, and themes involving fugue states, war crimes and cold war conspiracy,

But because of a scene depicting rape.

Except, the “depiction” was simply a character, from a pixelated top-down view, climbing onto the other character. No nudity, no thrusting - then…

The director yells “CUT!”

Turns out, it was a movie being filmed. So even within the context of the game, it wasn’t rape, it was an abstraction of an abstraction, WITHIN an abstraction.

Ratings board are morons.

As an Aussie, I was lucky to have a friend gift this to me on Steam.

Find a partner for yourself which looks similar to Crush, replace their wardrobe with virtually identical clothes to Crush, along with haircut, perfume, etc.

Constantly visit shops close to Crush’s house, so it’s “coincidence” when you bump into Crush and Partner.

From there, before they can talk their way out of an awkward situation, joke about how they look like twins, and that fantasy has always appealed to you.

Changing your studios name doesn’t change the fact that 343i is structurally bankrupt

Because.

The problem is that the “thing” is either:

• never have I ever done this <thing> or
• <never have I ever done this thing>

That’s what OP is saying. The wording could be clearer.

Essentially, if you can relate to what the comment says, then downvote.

Never have I ever heard “I’m proud of you” from my Dad :'(

You’re not making the point you think you are.

I understand the implications of both.

I don’t truly call Australian Aboriginals “Australians”, I was being facetious.

Also, I call them “Native Americans”.

That’s what I said ;)

Technically, Australian’s aren’t colonisers; they’re victims of British colonisation.
