This is something we can't just figure out now. It's catastrophizing future events even before they happen (or not). At worst it's fear mongering. I don't like Trump but let's not go the deeper end and lose ourselves in this Trump rabbit hole. Focus on yourself is the best solution. Don't fall for your inner mind baiting you. It's just intrusive thoughts. We should discuss and engage conscious politics but we should not let the negativity rot our brain. -

Everyone has a good heart and everyone is a good person. Nobody is eating meat because they want to kill animals. Sorry but I expected more out of you than calling others stupid. It wasn't an anti-vegan aegument. You can always be a vegan if you truly want to be. I was a vegan for a whole year and I didn't need any motivation for that. Yet it caused a drop in my nutrition levels in the end so I gave up. To each his own. It's not okay to ask others for motivation when the motivation should be intrinsic, it's like you just want to anger people who eat meat or make them feel less which is usually the general rhetoric of the forum. And nobody is a saint for being vegan because they still hurt plants. -

But you are hurting plants. Who says plants don't feel pain when cut, harvested, uprooted etc? As long as something is living matter, it has consciousness and will experience pain when it's survival is ended prematurely. Even in experiments they have found that plants react to emotional music. This means plants are capable of experiencing things, just not able to articulate it as well as animals do. Also man is an omnivore. So man is an agent of survival and continuation in the food chain. Anything that exists, only exists by consuming another, this is the basic rule of survival in the food chain. So as long as you are trying to survive, you're always consuming something to aid your survival, in the process causing pain to the one you're consuming, unless your consuming a non living object like soap or a piece of metal. But if you are consuming a living surviving being, plant or animal, you're still causing pain to that living being because they are alive, they have cells breathing, they are living, you cut them, chop them or end their survival in some form to break them up into nutrients in your stomach to feed your blood. So you cause pain anyway, one way or another. This does not necessarily mean that you're the causer of pain, since it's not your fault. You didn't cause it directly. But you are a part of the food chain and survival is your inbuilt agenda so what you do is something you have to do. And by that logic, people who eat animals are in the same boat as you, they aren't by any means morally inferior to you. -

The constitution must prevent Trump from a third term. No? -
Maybe you could have a joint IFS therapy session with his entire family to make them understand his situation. Generally IFS therapy has been found to be helpful in family related scenarios is what I've heard.

Why is it mentally ill? Any logical explanation? -
Usually eat them after a meal so that acidity is reduced a bit. Or drink a fruit juice (just a bit like half cup) with a meal. You shouldn't be eating early in the morning or bedtime though. It causes me acidity as well and that's why I eat with caution.

Yea that too.

Berries give me that feeling especially blueberries.

Be more vulnerable and open. Develop compassion for everyone around you. Adopt a gentle empathetic approach to things. Be milder, kinder, more understanding and don't jump to conclusions. -

I don't think society is divided. Your perception. -
What about egg prices? I'm more worried about that since I eat a lot of eggs.. I'm already making a note. Taken from another user.

Gender can be fluid and that's completely okay. It's called being progressive. -
Well dealing with cops is a difficult thing. Because of the work they do their adrenaline levels are always very high. They can easily be impatient and escalate a petty situation. So you should handle it diplomatically and don't let stress dictate how you respond. Always respond calmly and be very cooperative. If they ask for any documents, show them that. A cop can be an asshole too but we live in a world where we don't have ultimate sovereignty over our lives so we always exist in a hierarchy of power.

I think these things can be considered spiritual. An intention. A pure heart. A generous spirit. A compassionate attitude. An understanding of the universe. A beautiful guidance. A joyful manifestation. A wise thought. A loving consideration. A kind gesture. A bond of trust. A loyal bond. A peaceful surrender. A pure existence. A beautiful togetherness. A frank honesty. A resonance and harmony.
