!vegan@vegantheoryclub.org seems to be more what you're after. I stopped modding here because of how many spoons it took, but that other community has been so much more chill and easier to manage.

I've been raising my daughter heroin free, but my brother just fed her heroine behind my back and she keeps asking for it. AITA for not giving it to her?
neurospice 7 days ago • 83%
YTA. Not giving her heroin is animal abuse, just ask any heroin addict silly. God the thought of people like you make me sick, you deserved to be locked up and forced to use heroin in prison as there is no heroin alternative there.
Going to use TWICE the heroin now just to offset any meaningful change you may have caused. I hope your child gets the heroin she NEEDS.

Lemmy seems to harbor more resentment towards vegans than Reddit does, which is truly an incredible feat. Reactionaries, carnist apologists, debatemebros, are in no short order here, and have been circlejerking about this for two weeks now. An outstanding advertisement for places like vegantheoryclub.org, completely free from carnist vitriol.
I'm sorry to the vegans that have been affected by this. I tried to make this place a vegan place, but it is apparent that the powers that be are in opposition to this. Thanks for putting your trust in me, and thanks for the other moderators here <3
Be kind to all Earthlings.

Thanks for the summary. It's been a shame it seems nobody cares about what happened, because nearly everyone on lemmy hates vegans. The community on lemmy world is in a weird spot right now and I don't see it lasting much longer. I'll recommend anyone still on that community to check this one out (among others) as a replacement in an upcoming post.

While you already have your answer, I thought I'd share this for anyone wanting to know a bit more about how Concerta works. The pills themselves use an osmotic-controlled release oral delivery system where part of the dose is given immediately and the rest is slowly given as the drug gets squeezed out a little hole (that's drilled out by lasers!) by osmotic pressure. It's really cool stuff and makes it quite different to Ritalin IR in how it feels and works.

Here's the thread (archive link) that the admin intervened in:
@naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com, cats CAN NOT survive for long with a vegan diet. Its dangerous for them. Cats are carnivores.
Please refrain from removing warnings about such dangerous facts. Everyone who killed their cats by doing so, have a nice rest of your life knowing you killed your loved pet.
p.s. yes i am a cat owner.
Edit: to the rest of the mods: Dont promote harmfull things for pets. @naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com and @Eevoltic are demoted.
If anyone else thinks pets should be vegan i have no problem banning them for being a troll and promoting killing pets.
Just that you heard it from me too: YES cats can survive vegan diet for few months but prolonged exposure and it gets harmful for the pet and even death.

From my understanding all the meat derived nutrients that cats need can be (and for some of them are usually) synthesized in a lab. Nobody in that thread was advocating for feeding cats a diet of rice and carrots, but were stating that actual formulated vegan cat food is healthy so long as it has got all the nutrients that cats need.

This is why I banned them and would do it again if I could. They're actively spreading misinformation and being incredibly aggressive about this for some reason.

18% rent increase for the piece of shit I live in. Not unexpected, but still sucks. I wouldn't wish anyone live here let alone pay for the privilege. Going to start demanding the agent to get awnings installed as it's been about eight months since last asking and nothing has happened. Figured that the worst they can do is evict me as they can't increase the rent again.

You’re not even a regular poster here.
I didn't think this community was this quick to gatekeep. I've seen them comment here before, but gatekeeping someone's opinion based on how much they post here is absurd.
but when a new poster pops by with a vague pro-palestine message I assume you’re not interested in this community and simply looking to spread your message.
And what would that message be? Genocide bad? I'm not a new poster here and if I comment a pro-palestine message would you assume the same? It's disheartening to see this thread have so many downvotes and this argument, almost so much as the MSO's statement the other day.

I settled on a night light being the only source of light in my bathroom and have got used to very dimly lit night showers/bathroom trips. Works really well as it doesn't hurt my eyes whenever I walk into the bathroom overnight and I also don't stub my toes as often as I wound in pure darkness. Might be worth looking into getting one as it can be easy to misplace a torch.

it’s wired to the same circuit as the light
I've got one of those things as well in my bathroom. I don't trust it at all and find it annoying not being able to turn one or the other on so I just never use it. Why do people even wire it like that?

How do you even get diagnosed with DSPD in this country? I always get Drs and psychiatrists telling me to go to sleep earlier and be very dismissive when I ask for sleep tests done. Normal sleeping pills don't work at all for me, the best tools I have are agomelatine, clonidine, and cannabis (all taken together if I need to force a sleep bc of society).
Anyways, I'm not grateful for dismissive doctors who think I am trying to get pills off of them to abuse. Also fuck my sleeping disorder!

**Preprint** study \(mentioned in the article\): https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.07.27.24310982v1 [pdf link](https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.07.27.24310982v1.full.pdf) Abstract: (*emphasis mine*) > Background: In early April 2024 we studied two Texas dairy farms which had suffered incursions of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) the previous month. Methods: We employed molecular assays, cell and egg culture, Sanger and next generation sequencing to isolate and characterize viruses from multiple farm specimens (cow nasal swab, milk specimens, fecal slurry, and a dead bird). **Results: We detected H5N1 HPAIV in 64% (9/14) of milk specimens, 2.6% (1/39) of cattle nasal swab specimens, and none of 17 cattle worker nasopharyngeal swab specimens.** We cultured and characterized virus from eight H5N1-positive specimens. Sanger and next-generation sequencing revealed the viruses were closely related into other recent Texas epizootic H5N1 strains of clade 2.3.4.4b. Our isolates had multiple mutations associated with increased spillover potential. **Surprisingly, we detected SARS-CoV-2 in a nasal swab from a sick cow.** Additionally, **14.3% (2/14) of the farm workers who donated sera were recently symptomatic and had elevated neutralizing antibodies against a related H5N1 strain.** Conclusions: While our sampling was limited, these data offer additional insight into the large H5N1 HPAIV epizootic which thus far has impacted at least 96 cattle farms in twelve US states. **Due to fears that research might damage dairy businesses, studies like this one have been few**. We need to find ways to work with dairy farms in collecting more comprehensive epidemiological data that are necessary for the design of future interventions against H5N1 HPAIV on cattle farms.

Does anyone have a good source for vitamin d supplements? I'm deficient and need to supplement it. Most of the supplements I could find online were not vegan, and the ones that were are exorbitantly priced. Like, surely vegan vitamin d~3~ can be bought in bulk for cheap? I'm probably not looking hard enough, but searching for "vegan vitamin d" kept giving me lanolin and "plant based". --- Edit: I'm from Australia, so things might cost more if importing from overseas.

This is a community for vegans by vegans. Its aim is to enable discussions about veganism first and foremost. We don't owe it to carnists to let them come here and walk all over our values just because they feel offended by our existence. This place is meant to be a safe space that is welcoming and kind. After several incidents of brigrading by carnists and at the request of community members, I (and others on the mod team) have decided to be more strict in enforcing the rules here and ensure that the conversation isn't overrun by anti-vegans. I've cleaned up the rules a bit and made it a bit shorter, I'd like feedback on that (*also any mods feel free to change them up, it's more of a draft lol*). I've also started following up by looking at the modlog and banning repeat offenders. We also have new mods and I am sure that there would be room for others once we organise what we have currently. If you want to help now, please report comments/posts especially the ones that make the community unsafe for vegans. I'm committed to making this place much less hostile, but oh my, some of these posts really do blow up at the worst of times. Please, please, please be kind, not just to other humans and yourself, but to all the earthlings ✌️

I don't think I've seen every strawman argument against veganism all at the same time in the same place like that last thread that reached the front page the other day... There's one moderator on the community, but that's not enough to stop the trolls coming here to derail any semblance of vegan discourse. Like, banning carnists here isn't gonna happen (unless it does I guess), but we could have mods with copy-paste anti-strawman arguments with proper citations on standby, so hopefully it never gets as bad as the other thread. I'm not a fan of heavily moderated places, but maybe having a rule like "don't post post x y z argument and watch a b c Earthling Ed video instead" would help cut out some of the "good-faith" antivegans. But then again, the omis were excusing their behavior as it "reached the front page of lemmy", that means murder is OK now! ^/s^ Curious to see what the community's thoughts would be. Do we just need to relegate ourselves to the circlejerk communities from now on, or would this community actually be by vegans for vegans? Edit 1: I am now a mod of the community. I've reworked the sidebar and added some resources on veganism, rules, and links to other communities. I am interested to gauge feedback on it, and if anyone has any suggestions please comment them :)
It seems that for me whenever the meds "kick in" I can't really mask properly anymore which causes undesired social issues with some friends (especially in an outdoor setting like this meme implies). Wondering how many others experience this, and does anyone know why this happens? I haven't found any good reading on it and the psychs I mention it to just dismiss it.
I am looking for alternative knowledge sources to [mozillazine](http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Firefox) that's a bit more up to date. Specifically, I am after something that explains advanced about:config options and what each sqlite file and storage directories in my profile are actually used for. When I search online for things I get unhelpful support articles from mozilla and random reddit threads with conflicting information. I've played around with a lot of things through a lot of trial and error (I can share some about:config values if anyone's interested in them), but I'd like to be directed somewhere I can go to and check first to make sure I won't break my profile tinkering. I already use [ffprofile](https://ffprofile.com/) to set up my user.js, but I'm looking for something with more documentation without having to resort to reading the source code of firefox.
