Und im Zulassungsausschuss sitzen Ärzte und Krankenkassenvertreter. Keine Psychotherapeuten. Es ist schon extrem perfide, dass die Bedarfsprüfung von Menschen gemacht wird, die von einer neutralen oder knappen Bedarfslage mehr profitieren als von guter Versorgung.

Hitler wasn’t a blond blue-eyed adonis either.

Facists don’t concern themselves with the truth, and certainly not with authenticity.

Verstehe nicht, was das Vergehen gewesen sein soll?

It reinforces the idea for men not to bother getting help in the first place - you’re a man, they won’t take you seriously anyway, they will call you weak, don’t ask for help, just give up. That’s the inner logic of clinical depression and the comic supports it.

And it’s a really dangerous thing to imply because it could keep men further from the available support systems. It’s discouraging. I’m not questioning weather those things could have been said by someone, but it kinda seems like the author took some horrible TERF talking points and went “I guess it will be the same in mental health”.

The mindset of “it’s gotta be one or the other” is a false choice presented by the fossil fuel industry and conservative politicians.

What fossil lobby or conservative politician is currently saying “okay guys you can have renewables, but then we will have to cut back on nuclear”? That’s the opposite of what conservatives are saying.

You are repeating a talking point that’s being spread around to distract from the fact that it is financially rewarding for the fossil lobby to postpone the transition away from them to sustainable energy sources as far as possible, which is exactly what will happen if we drain resources from renewables towards nuclear. And acting like our resources aren’t in some way limited is nothing but wishful thinking.

While you wait for the next nuclear power plant, the fossil fuel lobby is raking in record profits for decades to come.

Invest the money into renewables instead. And every bit of money you think you can get from “just raising the taxes a little” or “printing it” - invest that too. Everything else is a waste of time and resources.

We can do both.

If you have a set amount of money and resources to invest renewables are almost exclusively the better choice. Investing in nuclear instead means it will take even longer for us to wean off fossiles. That’s why it’s so useful for the oil lobby to support nuclear.

Aber das heißt ja nicht dass es das nicht gibt und dass Tiere kein gutes Leben haben können nur weil sie zur Fleischproduktion dienen.

Sogar im utopischsten seltenen perfekten Fall eines tatsächlich artgerecht gehaltenen Tieres darf es nur ein kurzes Leben haben. An Altersschwäche sterbende Tiere isst man ja nicht.

“Tierfreunde”, die Tiere essen, lügen sich selbst was vor. Stell dir einfach mal vor jemand würde das mit seinem Hund machen - mit 1-2 Jahren, wenn er noch lecker ist, schlachten und essen. “Ich bin trotzdem ein Hundefreund, versprochen, denn vorher war ich sehr nett zu ihm!”

Und nur weil du an die Lüge gewöhnt bist (“vom Land”) heißt das nicht, dass sie außerhalb deiner Bubble nicht trotzdem offensichtlich falsch ist.

I wonder if the people downvoting you are misunderstanding your comment as saying “nobody should be allowed to call in sick for any reason, ever”.

The concept of sick days is ridiculous. Being sick isn’t predictable, so employers obviously shouldn’t be allowed to artificially limit the days you’re allowed to be. It’s a broken system that allows for such things in the first place. If you’re sick, you’re sick, and your employer has to accept that. If they don’t want to take that risk they should employ a robot.

Germany wanted to replace nuclear with renewables. This “replace with coal” bs is straight up misinformation.

You know what sucks as well? Taking too many painkillers against headaches actually causes headaches. Horrible ones at that. Glad to read that you’re feeling better, but that’s a real trap many people out there are stuck in.

Heute Morgen endlich wieder mit Tageslicht in die Tagschicht gestartet! Danke Normalzeit.

Ich will mir gar nicht vorstellen wie miserabel der Winter erst wäre, wenn wir das ganze in Sommerzeit durchmachen müssten.

What is your goal, and what are your methods to get there?

I wanted to show that your argument is stupid. That’s it, really.

Because I’ve never actually tried to convince you, or praise veganism, or do any of the things you’d like to argue against to begin with. You are arguing against an army of strawmen.

Claiming I’m the one who’s confused only makes you seem delusional. You seem desperate to stir the conversation into a direction where you’re getting praised for your diet choices, while I’m still amused about your original comment.

You’re standing on the proud achievement of a claim that is not only wrong, even if it was true, it wouldn’t work as an argument in your favor. Maybe on some intellectually detached level you are in fact aware how stupid of an argument that really is, so now you’re trying to change the topic to vegan goals and systematic issues and convincing people of your unsurpassable approach to a sustainable lifestyle.

I am not a hardliner by any means. And I’m not even talking down your eating habits. I’m talking down dumb arguments.

Sounds like there is still some room for improvement in terms of “eating as sustainably as they can” then.

I don’t subscribe to the vegan moral system, I find it often inconsistent and confused. Like here… What’s best for the bees? What’s best for the ecosystem? What’s best for the humans?

Do you mean the vegan moral system is confused, or are you confused? Because not many vegans are confused about those things, that much I can tell you.

Right now you’re voting with your wallet to increase an economic demand for the death of billions of innocent blades of grass. Not to mention dead animals - but we’re not talking about them, that would be silly.

Was ist denn das für eine Definition von “Flexitarier”? Was der Textblock beschreibt ist ja wohl eher ein Fleischliebhaber.

Zum Thema Schlaf wichtig zu wissen: Auf Alkohol zu verzichten wird den Schlaf langfrisitg fast garantiert verbessern, das ist jedenfalls die Erfahrung der allermeisten, die das hinter sich haben - aber die ersten Paar Tage (je nachdem, wie gewöhnt der Körper an den Alkohol ist) gibts den gegenteiligen Effekt. Ich würde dir empfehlen es, wenn möglich, mal eine Woche durchzuziehen. Im Besten Fall merkst du an der Stelle echt direkt eine Verbesserung.

Deinen ersten Punkt find ich aber auch sehr wichtig. Es ist nicht einfach, mal eben aufzuhören, und Suchtmittel sind in Fall einer Abhängigkeit oft nicht (nur) Problemursachen, sondern ja fast immer (auch) Lösungsversuche für darunterliegenden Probleme. (Bei Abhängigkeit kehrt es sich irgendwann schon auch um und das Suchtmittel wird zur Ursache vieler gravierender Probleme, aber mindestens am Anfang ist es eigentlich immer so.) Wenn man in der Situation das Sichtmittel “einfach mal weglässt”, sitzt man mit den Problemen, die man damit zu lösen versuchte, gegebenenfalls erstmal alleine da. Aus einer Sucht rauszukommen geht über “Weglassen” des Suchtmittels deshalb deutlich hinaus, da geht es echt auch darum zu schauen: Für was brauch ich das bislang, und kann ich mir diesen Nutzen auch organisieren, ohne meine Leber zu zerstören. Also alternative Lösungsstrategien finden.

Für so etwas gibt es inzwischen echt gute Suchtberatungsstellen, die auch ganz niederschwellig erstmal mit einem schauen, ob überhaupt schon eine Sucht vorliegt. Ich hab dort immer wieder gute Erfahrungen gemacht, kann ich nur empfehlen.

Being sealed off wouldn’t have to mean having zero contact with the surrounding nature. I think we can coexist with predators while still using some land for agriculture - just not all of it.

That being said, it’s bold of you to assume someone conscious of the suffering of plants isn’t eating as sustainably as they can with the choices they have available

Oh so you are a vegan?

I am not vegan, but simply trying to understand how honey is bad, but as you say “unavoidable collateral damage of agriculture” or not.

Is bad as well, we simply have no good way of avoiding it.

Think about it this way: Beekeeping is bad, agriculture is bad. Can we avoid both? No. But can we avoid at least one of them? Easily so. So let’s do that - half a win is better than nothing.

There are many ways agriculture could be less harm, less pesticides, less monotone growing practices, more spread out growing. We do not have to accept these practices to not starve.

I agree, which is why many (if not all) vegans strive to support those more sustainable forms of agriculture. But economic constraints are a real thing for many people. Not everyone can always decide to buy the higher quality produce. If we can - good, let’s do that. While and if we can’t, same thing with the honey: Can we avoid all the problems at once? No, but at least we can do as best as reasonable possible, so let’s do that. That’s veganism for many people.

I don’t think honey collecting is worse than agriculture (even of direct plants for human consumption), so I don’t think vegans should discount honey.

Even if it’s just 1% worse than agriculture wouldn’t we reduce a bit of suffering by replacing it? And I mean it’s not even like we need honey for anything. We consume too much sugar anyway. Even if honey is exactly as harmful as sugar cane farming (which is debatable), by omitting it we would save not only agricultural resources but animal exploitation as well. Not consuming it is better than consuming it in terms of animal suffering. Since we don’t need to consume it, from a vegan perspective I think it’s understandable why that’s seen as preferable.
