How do you cope with having hurt your boyfriend before? Emotionally. I did something I shouldn't have like a year ago (not cheating, it's not related to that) and I still carry it with me. I hate that I did it. He forgave me a long time ago but one or two of his family members didn't.

Some questions for any vegetarian/vegan nonnies that I've been thinking about a lot lately;
>Do you want meat (/dairy/egg) production to, eventually, cease completely?
>How would you feel about meat (dairy/egg) production becoming illegal?
>How do you feel about hunting? (for food, not trophy hunting)
>If meat production/hunting eventually ceased completely, what would happen to carnivorous pets? Should keeping of pet cats/dogs/etc eventually cease too?
Sorry if these are too, idk, heavy for stupid questions thread but I really am curious how people feel about them

>>2272088Unironically reading comprehension exercises. And paying attention too.
If you read a book or honestly anything without paying close attention or with too many distractions around, then you may have a hard time remembering or even following the plot of a story.
Sometimes listening to some music while reading is also a bad idea because you can get distracted by the music and you can end up imagining whatever you imagine because of the music or you can focus on the lyrics if it has any sort of lyrics too, instead of focusing on the story.
I need to know how old are you and how much social media do you use. Because I unironically think that social media killed my attention span and now I need to listen to white noise to work.

>>2272112Nonna, if you forget details then your reading comorehension isn't really good. It's just okay at best.
Maybe instead of trying to read a book as quickly as possible, take breaks so you can actually process the information.
I have a student with ADHD and he's like that, he will try to finish stuff quickly but will forget shit right away.
Try reading a page and then sit down and think of what you read, it will be like a reading comprehension quiz that you will make yourself take so you actually know what's going on, maybe take notes even.

>>2272307It's a psyop to get public support for reducing factory and health regulations. Pasteurized milk is literally milk that has been boiled to a temperature where bacteria being harbored in it is killed. Those bacteria are often introduced due to factory farming, where the animals are kept in squallid conditions. (This is why we refrigerate our eggs and Europe doesn't. European hens are vaccinated against salmonella, this is not required in the US.)
In many cases, getting milk directly from a cow will not harm you if the cow has been kept in clean and healthy conditions. I've personally been given milk directly from a family cow in another country and been fine. (It was delicious and warm, thank you beautiful cow). But most cows are not clean and healthy and this leads to milk being contaminated.
Unfortunately, I have very basic knowledge on the harm of factory farming so I don't know the specifics of how contamination occurs.
No. 2272362
>>2272353Of course, nona, that's why I said most. Most of the animal product being produced and distributed in the US comes from factory farming, not local and healthy farms that follow basic care and appropriate health guidelines like the ones you go to.
I do disagree that this is going to become the norm, though. Factory farming is much too profitable. And there are areas where local farms have been getting slowly choked out. The last butcher shop in my area was closed just before the pandemic, we have to drive hours to get to the next nearest one.

Is there a slavic phenotype that has big noses, weaker chins, and round eyes? I keep getting approached by Russian speaking people who assume I’m also Russian, but I don’t “look” like the stereotypical kind of Russian who has sort of Asian features. The guy on the left has similar features to me except I’m extremely pale with light eyes.

>>2272973>Why do people here care about saging so much?Sage makes it so non-milk posts can be hidden.
>How many people actually rely on threads being bumped to check on them?When an anon is following a cow, it's important that milk in a thread is bumped so more people can see. It's like an update for farmers on the cows they watch.
>how many people here use the hide saged posts feature?When you want to catch up on a cow's thread, you can click the hide saged posts to make it so you only see the milk and more important posts. This is a good feature because some cow's have extensive thread histories and it makes it easier for lurkers to catch up on what's been happening.
On non-cow boards like /ot/, /m/, or /g/, it's not necessary to sage posts. I think the normal etiquette, or at least the one I observe, is that I sage posts that I don't think are particularly important or that I don't want to bump the thread. I don't sage when I want to really contribute to a conversation or a thread with a post. Not everyone observes that, but it's not really a rule just something I've noticed happens.

I don't hide saged posts because I like to laugh at what some of the anons' say, but I have seen at least two other anons say they hide unsaged posts in cow threads.
Why do people care about saging so much? This is called being courteous to your fellow anons and following the website rules.
Hope this answered your questions!
No. 2273004
>>2272991Not very? It annoys people a lot when you do it in cow threads though. If I see the Shayna thread bumped and it's just anons nitpicking her face again, I'll be annoyed. But /ot/, /g/, and /m/ aren't cow boards, so the same culture around unsaged posts doesn't apply.
In fact, it's great seeing someone has posted in dormant threads. It makes me super happy when someone bumps the old web thread in /ot/ because I love reading it. If there are threads people don't like seeing, they're supposed to hide them.
I like to sage when replying in /ot/ because someone else's post might get shoved onto the second page before anyone gets to see it if the board is very active. But that's just me, it's not a hard rule.

I'm not really sure what's deja vu exactly at this point. I usually tend to have this feeling and not think too much about it but the last times it happened I remembered these moments vividly and thought "wait all these things I already saw a few weeks ago are going to happen right now", remembered how these scenes ended and when I remember these things annoying me I made different choices on purpose to avoid being annoyed by what's supposed to happen next. Is that normal? I remember I was "supposed" to send an email yesterday at work and I was supposed to get a reply from a client that pissed me off and made me look stupid but decided to not do it yet to avoid getting that reply and nothing bad happened. Isn't it too detailed to be deja vu?

>>2273066Education is either difficult to access or seen as unnecessary by the community at large so it's not like the kids could go to school if they wanted to. We're talking areas where most of the adults are illiterate, so they literally cannot teach their kids no matter how much they might want to.
There's extreme poverty, and families with a shitload of kids who need to earn their keep because whatever retarded religion their parents were brainwashed into following allows no birth control or social care, and nor does the government. Even if by some miracle the kids do get an education it's almost impossible for them to get a job outside of whatever they'd be doing as a child laborer anyway, unless they lucked out and got a scholarship or managed to move and get a job in a shop or something. The countries most rife with child labor tend to require retarded levels of qualifications for even the most menial white collar jobs, so some kid who escaped the mines isn't going to have a chance at those anyway, and even in white collar jobs they'd be worked half to death. The level of corruption is insane in those countries, if you don't know how to play the game you don't make money.
It's impossible to make most of the adults in these communities understand that child labor is bad because the adults were in that same situation themselves, and their parents, and their grandparents, and their great grandparents- and there's a lot of bitterness and fear there too, which leads to crab bucket mentality. The places with child labor tend to have much stricter social hierarchies and there's a real fear of being punished for stepping out of line. I say places and not countries because attitudes vary hugely depending on where you are in the country, and if you're in a rural area you're shit out of luck.
It's difficult to escape that sort of community regardless of mindset. Even if a family worked hard, sent their kids to school, and saved up enough to leave the shithole they grew up in, they'd probably end up in a shitty slum with the same shitty jobs, so what's the point? That's if they weren't ostracised by their community for thinking they were better than everyone else. When you're in an impoverished shithole where you need to beg the local pharmacist for medicine for your children, being ostracised is genuinely dangerous.
It's a truly grim situation with very little that can be done to change it unless there's a huge cultural shift. Even if muh capitalism falls, these kids will go from working in mines and factories to shovelling shit and tilling fields instead of going to school.

After that I said some harsh stuff to her (not like extremely harsh but still hurtful) for a few weeks then cut all contact with her because I couldn't handle having strong feelings for her. I later reached out again after a few weeks to apologize. She said she forgave me. Then when I asked her if she wanted to try getting to know each other better again, she didn't respond and stopped using her account completely.
She doesn't seem to have another account. She has many friends connected to that account. I don't think she has a problem with blocking people she doesn't like, even if they're not really weird. She comes back to her account every now and then if I stop using my account for a long enough period of time, but disappears again when I start using it.
