Really good and nuanced takes here, big fan of this post.

I sometimes joke with people that I think being vegetarian is the more ethical option, but it’s really hard to completely cut out meat. So if I can instead convince just 10 people to cut back on meat by 20%, then that’s a 200% reduction. Being fully vegetarian is just a 100% reduction, so a 200% reduction makes me like, twice as ethical as someone who is fully vegetarian!

And while it’s in jest, I do genuinely try to cut back where I can (cutting back the first 50% of your meat consumption gives half the benefit of going fully vegetarian while being waaaay easier to actually do), and joking about it in this way is something that I think unironically effects positive change - the ethics of meat consumption is a thorny topic that people tend to get defensive about, especially because of how difficult going fully vegetarian would be for many people, so bringing up the idea to just cut back where they can tends to make for a more productive conversation.

yeah im going vegetarian for a month and one of the big issues is protein is so much harder to get which is important for me rn given im working out a ton so i’ve been adding one cheat day where i allow myself a small bit of meat (usually 1-2 chicken thighs) and it’s a lot easier

am i cheating my promise? a bit yeah but the lord will forgive me even he had to take a day off n shit

ISHHH (im still very glad youre eating less meat)

Lumi has made the whole “if i get 10 people to eat 20% less meat” joke before to me, but tbh it did kinda open my eyes as to how important simply getting people to eat a little less meat can be. And like, part of the reason I wanted you to go full veggie for a month was my hope that afterwards youd be inclined to eat less meat. Im glad youre doing something manageable rn

my first two attempts both resulted in failures because I started rushing and just misclicked, by the time you get to 40+ the sequence playing out just starts taking an annoyingly long time. For my third attempt I had to wait until I had a long block of time free (the attempt took 38 minutes) so I could just click through slowly and carefully without having to rush and I got to level 65 before I made a memory error rather than a misclick. Level 65 doesn’t even show up on the distribution chart
