@piefed.socialHey all,
While I'm aware that most issues regarding reducing greenhouse gasses land more on companies and governments than they do on individual responsibility, I still want to work on forming my diet to overall be more climate-friendly.
I'm curious if there's a website that compares the carbon footprint of certain foods. Since I'm currently modifying my diet to be more healthy and nutritious, I was also thinking about maybe making some changes where possible that are more friendly to the environment.
What brought up this thought is that I'm currently making sweetened drinks at home using zero-calorie sweeteners, and with the options I have available and how little they differ from one another in my eyes, I was curious which option between Stevia and Sucralose was more environmentally friendly, and then it became a more general question as to where I can compare these things.
Thanks in advance!
Hey all!
So I'm a cis guy who's only queer in the sense that I'm demisexual heteroromantic. Recently to my surprise, I've gotten into a relationship, and more surprising is the fact that the woman I'm dating is trans. Without coming off the wrong way, I never thought I'd find myself in a relationship with someone who's trans, and thankfully so far it seems as if there isn't a whole lot about dating her that's too different from my previous relationships, putting aside of course that she's easily been the best partner I've had to date.
The thing is, she's still working on her transition. While I think she does an incredible job presenting herself for who she truly is to the world, she's not quite fully at the point where she wants to be just yet with. Namely, she wants to do some work with her voice, and get top surgery.
Now what I want to do of course is be the most supportive partner I can be and help her with getting to where she wants to be. She mentioned that she has a lot of trouble with voice training, and in looking things up online, I came across voice feminization surgery. I brought it up to her, and she seems to have really appreciated me telling her about it.
In terms of top surgery, I've been looking into it, and was looking into the different types of implants available. I read that silicone implants apparently feel the most natural and comparable to regular developed breasts, and while I want to give her all the options available, I also think that silicone would likely be the best option of the different types for that reason, especially since she's questioned her validity as a woman before and I want her to feel like and be her true self.
However, I've been reflecting a bit. While I'm happy to explore these things and learn more about them to try and help her find what's best for her, I also don't want her to get the wrong idea of things. While it hasn't been the case to date that she's taken things this way, even specifically telling me she appreciates what I'm doing, I also worry about either getting potentially too involved in her personal life, giving the wrong idea that I'm making suggestions based on my own interests rather than hers, or that I might lead her make a decision where the end result doesn't match the person she is and wants to fully be.
What can I do as a partner for her who's cis to best assist her with her journey in transitioning? Where should my place be in supporting her through her journey? How can I prevent myself from making a good-intentioned suggestion that might not end up being the most affirming thing for her? How can I ensure that I'm giving her all the information she needs accurately, without unknowingly pushing options that might not work best for her?
Thanks in advance, I'll be sure to start responding once I wake up and will take any criticism and critique as needed.
I haven't had fried chicken in a while now mind you, but both when I was a kid and my family would have leftover KFC, and as an adult in the rare occasion I do get fried chicken, I have always loved it more after it's been sitting overnight in the fridge.
Won't heat that shit in the microwave or nuthin, just eat it straight cold and love it like that.
Hey everyone,
This is a question that I've had for a while that I would like to get some opinions on.
While I'm aware regular energy drinks would not be useful for weight loss due to their sugar content alone, I was curious if sugar-free energy drinks can be used to help the weight loss process at all.
Reason why I'm asking is that zero sugar energy drinks are low in calories, typically being 10 calories for a can of Monster, and contain large amounts of B vitamins, which I'm aware are essential for metabolism. On top of this, while the amount of it is a concern ofc, caffeine seems to have been shown to boost metabolism in the short term.
Would these facts be enough to justify having a zero sugar energy drink every now and again, or am I misunderstanding and exaggerating things, or missing key details that might change the way I see them?
Thanks in advance.
Don't know what it is, but I much prefer the Crazy Frog remix, and have always enjoyed it.
Just in general, while Queen is still good, I think they're overrated whereas I also think Crazy Frog gets too much flak.
Hey all,
Currently want to experiment using Keyoxide since I came across it while browsing the Codeberg repos. Was curious about whether or not there's any Keyoxide instances outside of the flagship one, since I really enjoy the decentralized nature of it and would love to support the ecosystem by utilizing other providers where possible.
Thanks in advance.
