What's Bothering You?

[daringred_]

Yeah some aimed **** really grinds my gears especially the stuff I get over at instagram. luckily i got adblocker for youtube since i mainly use it on laptopbut yeah the mobile ads I get ughhghhg.

it just really bugs me because you don't know people's medical background or lifestyle etc. (although, again, "it tastes good" is reason enough lol) and have no right to shame them. it also acts as though sustainable and ethical farming/farmers don't exist. if anything, they should be targeting corporations producing meat etc. that aren't instead of going after the average person who enjoys meat or the industry as a whole.

^^^exactly.

I also hate those "lol support some corrupt food delivery company, get this and that app" Like, no, I feel sorry for those who have to take these jobs but I also don't want to support it further.

getting real tired of youtube constantly giving me vegan (or, more specifically, "anti-meat") adverts. if you want to be vegan, go for it, it's none of my business, but i hate being shamed for eating meat as if i don't already have an iron deficiency lmao, not that people should be required to have a reason for eating it beyond "it tastes good" anyway.

I think a lot of companies are just jumping on the Veganuary bandwagon right now. It should hopefully calm down next month. I went into Morrisons this afternoon and there were loads of ads for their vegan options... at the start of the aisle that leads to their meat counter.

I'm low in B9, B12, and iron due to an improperly functioning protein receptor and my doctors recommendation for that was to eat more red meat, so I just try to ignore these ads because they are incorrectly targeted. Definitely don't feel bad for doing what is best for your own health.

^Yeah I do eat most meat except pork for reasons but I also take some vitamins for other reasons, so yeah eat what you like and is best for you indeed.

oh, that might explain it. the ad i just got was called, like, "no meat" or something, but it's definitely not the first one i've had recently. i have anemia and had to be prescribed extra strength B12 tablets (although they don't do them anymore, so i'm on regular store-bought ones atm) due to my low levels, and my girlfriend's levels are so bad she has to have a series of injections in the next few weeks. it's always pretty weird to me that people don't consider these things when pushing that everyone should be meat-free and anyone who isn't supports animal abuse etc. (although a lot of vegans thankfully aren't like that.)

I think I'm in the same boat as your girlfriend. I typically get B12 injections every three months but there have been several occasions where my levels dipped so low I needed them every other day. It was not fun.

Going meat-free isn't everyone. I was vegetarian in my teens and honestly I don't miss it. Going without meat for a few years actually gave me a new appreciation for it.

 

[Alienfish]

Yeah I tried going more or less vegetarian/vegan when I could for some long time, now I can eat most stuff not pork and yeah as long as you don't have just one of them everyday it works.

yeah, her doctor said it was good she came in otherwise she might've needed a transfusion or something. i haven't had a blood test since the first one over a year ago, so i don't know what my levels are like now (although my diet hasn't changed) but my legs have started aching when i wake up every morning, which i've heard can be caused by iron deficiency, so i'm hoping i don't unknowingly need injections too.

I finally saw a game I had been wanting for years at an affordable price and was in stellar condition but the minute I tell my mother about it it was sold 1 minute ago (Its nothing big in the grand scheme of things because much worse things could happen.)

kinda bummed that now Im back home I don't have a vehicle to use. Before Christmas my company car that I also use for personal use was in the workshop getting some minor work done on it, but apparently some parts didn't come in time and now it's sitting in the workshop dysfunctional and in pieces lol. I don't know how I'm going to get to work on Monday, or rather I don't know who I'm going to ask for a ride. I don't want to ask my boss because I feel that's awkward, and he doesn't live near me, and I'm not really close enough to anyone else at work to ask them either. I'm already feeling really nervous about starting back at work and this is just making me more stressed

really want the flareon build-a-bear to go with my jolteon and vaporeon (and lowkey want the glaceon too), but build-a-bear insists on only selling them as online exclusive bundles, so you have to pay £20 extra for ugly pyjamas i don't even want and would never use geez, just let me buy the bear on its own.

My ear is blocked and I can't hear it's terrible

I should just save time and say what I’m happy about right now instead of what I’m unhappy about. So here’s my list:

Spoiler: Rainy’s happy list

nothing

Edit ok that made me a little happier

Flush it with warm water.
But before doing it, put some ear drops in your ear first and I recommend Debrox. It works great for me and I get really blocked ears which imo doesn't seem normal.

Need to wait until night to play brilliant diamond cause Umbreon, lol. Or just try and get ribbons for the better massages lol.

Hate being woken up too early because of a nightmare. The fact the nightmare was about work makes it much worse..

 

[Alienfish]

Wow so Cresselia has a 0.4 catch rate why do I even try...

that's why I haven't bought any of them, I would love to have the Jolteon one since that's one of my favorite Pokemon but ugh so much money



so it's been almost four days since I ordered this thing and not only has the seller not shipped it, but I've also sent them a message which they have not replied to. I really don't want to go through this bs again, and if I have to cancel the order (or if the seller cancels it) I won't be happy. it would be nice if they at least sent me a message to lmk what's going on

Ugh that is definitely the worst bs going on with people selling or just when they're supposed to reply... Like come on we know they see it, just... reply gdi lol

update: they finally dropped it off this morning thank goodness. never did get a reply to my message though. I almost wonder (based on their profile) if they're older folk and don't know how to use tech very well lol.
