Reply to comment by cowloom in I should go back to being vegetarian again by flabberghaster

The first time, I tried to just go vegetarian all at once and it didn't take, because it felt like such a big change to make all at once. I found much better success by saying "this week, I am going to give up pork for good." Then when that felt easy I went on to "this week I will give up beef for good." And so on until I was down to chicken being the only meat I'd eat anymore. I found by tapering it like that, it didn't feel like such a radical change and it was easier for me to sustain it.

I feel that cutting out dairy is going to be much harder for me than cutting out meat has historically been. One day I might be able to go vegan but I need to work my way there or I won't be able to stick to it.

Reply to do we really need dire wolves right now by victoria

The thing with creating clones of extinct species (which is not what they did) is that those species went extinct for reasons.

If we cut down all the forests and the birds who depend on the trees die off as a result, and then create clones of those birds, they'll just die off again unless we put the forests back, which we are not doing.

If all the bugs die because the earth is now too hot for them to survive, and we create clones of them, the clones will all just die again.

This is a gimmick but ultimately it's "feeding cats to the coyotes."

Reply to Fucking animals -- Severance Facts -- Season 2 spoilers by twovests

I have had the idea for a horror setting where there's an anesthetic that everyone thinks is really effective and a miracle drug, but it turns out all it does is paralyze you so you don't show pain, and make you completely forget when you come to. But the whole time, you're feeling everything.

Severance is a lot like that. But less body horror.
