alternatives hurt way less, cheese is overrated and learn to season your food

>>22680
>but unfortunately most alternatives to meat and cheese also hurt animals

this is what mindless consumers actually believe

>>21300
It's the bare minimum of moral consistency in my opinion, and I don't even consider myself a particularly good person. A significant part of what I consume still comes from exploitation in some shape or form, but it's a manageable goal for now. I'm starting to replace my cosmetics with cruelty-free ones. Hopefully one day I have enough energy to actually look into fair produce too. I'm really sad though because most vegan communities are filled with communists and troons and the rest of the world hates me. At least there's hummus

>I'm starting to replace my cosmetics with cruelty-free ones.

i just recently started putting aloe vera into my smoothies and every time i do, i have a few off cuts from where i removed the skin that have plenty of that good gel left on them. then i take these offcuts and just rub them on my skin or on my hair.

i buy the leaves in the asian grocery store but i guess it would be even easier to just have a aloe plant on my balcony.

flat is awesome when combined with a tight hourglass waist and long legs

>>22566
If you're flat and don't have a nice butt, it's pretty much over. You can get by with a pretty face and by personalitymaxxing though.

>>22785
small butts are fine too as long as they aren't totally flat

I know its sexy that's why I chose the pic

>because of the phrase real women have curves
Anon there is no way to win ever, the porn addicted moids who parrot this are referring to some chick like kim kardashian or any other porn model who underwent plastic surgery just to meet this standard.
A woman can have wide hips but she's going to need some fat to meet the insane standards the scrotes are talking about, and they're also not gonna like when this happens because the woman will have to carry extra fat.

I've gotten into the practise of being extremely picky about candy, so unless I'm 100% sure a candy will taste excellent, I just won't bother with it, it's just not worth subjecting my sensitive teeth to. I still eat candy on occasion, but rarely.
Fruits are great, I started growing berries 2 years ago and they're just the right kind of sweet. When I'm baking, I also like to add extra fruit like bananas and apples instead of going overboard with sugar and chocolate.
I have a fruit calendar that I check regularly but I'll eat apples all year round and cut them up every evening so they're easier to eat in the morning (I have very little energy in the morning). I drink teas with stevia, but also fruit tea infusions which are naturally also pretty sweet. I do try to not drink too much fruit juice…
I've come to appreciate the sweetness of veggies like carrots, peas and corn a lot more since I started cutting processed sugar out of my diet.

>>22773
>I do try to not drink too much fruit juice…
yeah fruit juice is worse than whole fruit. it lacks fiber and without it, it's just mostly sugar.

even though the juice isn't that much unhealthy, it doesn't taste much better (IMO), so might as well eat the real thing.

I like eating Greek yogurt with some honey (and toppings like berries or granola)
I also like buying whole watermelons and honeydew melons and gorging on them. I love berries too but they're not great value for money. I'd like to grow my own though.

the reason you "crave" these sweet things is because the gut-microbiome is manipulating you to want it because they (the little guys crawling inside you) want it. apparently they have the ability to make you want what they want.

i've been juicefasting for many years. back when i would eat stupid factoryfood like candy, pasta and bread, i would experience cravings for that stuff but they can't survive for more then a few days without being fed. so if you can get over the hump, the craving should go away.

recently discovered organic agave syrup, i use that to sweeten coffee. other then that i always have banana, berries and red grapes which i like to make into smoothie, usually with an orange.

also i make hempseeds+water into hemp milk, needs a strong blender for 2 minutes but tastes amazing. this hempmilk + cocoa powder + sweetener (i most like dates) turns into delightful healthy chocolate milk.

Stevia is damaging to ghe reproductive system, it is literally a contreceptive

I mean it depends to which direction the porn addictionwill go. But it's not about the women looking different or diverse it's about the brain treating every new porn video as a new partner

life has been hell when it comes to dating.

those breasts are totally fine. stop tweaking

>>22703
If your breasts feel good to touch, there is nothing wrong with them.
I can sorta relate to feeling insecure about mine because one of my friends has perfect, marketable photogenic breasts that don't sag at all while mine are saggy as hell, collect sweat and pimples underneath, look like weird lumps in the wrong place when I wear thin clothes on top and make me look extra fat when I wear baggy clothes…
But I've come to not just accept them, I actually like them now!
They work, they feel nice to the touch, nobody has ever had anything bad to say about them, I've figured out which clothes look flattering on me and so on and I don't even bother with wearing bras anymore unless I'm working out and life has been better for it. I don't even think they look bad now, just different. Maybe not everyone's #1 pick if they were staring at a faceless catalogue of only breasts, but people are more than just their sum of their specific bodyparts, I like the way I look, especially when I'm striking poses in front of the mirror lol.
>how to get over not having perfect breasts
Maybe you could try focussing on how they feel instead of how they look on camera… Or put more thought into what style will work well with your taste and body rather than striving for the perfect conventionally attractive cardboard cut out anime figure body that they filter and photoshop everyone into on social media…

>How to get over having weird and uneven boobs?
Going to share an exercise I read last year that helped me come to peace with mine (which are naturally full at the bottom and narrow at the top so I've always been insecure about them looking saggy even as a teenager. Plus I have quite big nipples and would get pimples on them before I went on accutane, which didn't help).
So several times every day, you must look at your breasts and find something you like about them. You are not allowed to dwell on what you think your breasts lack.
If you do this every day, you WILL come up with a list of traits you actually like about your breasts. I really hated mine for the reasons I mentioned, but I ended up coming up with a list of 13 bullet points which I read whenever I'm struck with insecurity about them. I'm not going to pretend my relationship with my breasts is perfect, but it's definitely better than it used to be.

Love long hair. Hate facial hair.

EW…Is that you? Why are obese moids so ugly jfc. Imagine posting your clinically unattractive and unruly busted mug to a supposedly female imageboard. Do better next time by spoilering that shit and spare our poor eyes from being violated by your hideous self.
Anyways, for me, moids look the cutest when they have some type of host or gyaruo adjacent hairstyle, even deliquent type would do. Like picrel

>>20622
Any hairstyle that makes for fluffy hair I can touch is my favourite, in a vacuum. But ultimately, a style should suit the person who's wearing it, even bald can look good with good skin and style. Same with beards, in a vacuum I prefer none, but there are people who just look too good with one.

Yeah, this is weird. From the mother's perspective, what is even supposed to be the appeal of this? You get to… lie down while a bunch of women put stuff on your body. She can't even move her head to look down at the flowers. If I was in her position, being "pampered" by "the village" would involve, I don't know, being taken out for a group dinner.

There has been a lot of work since Sahlins, and not all of it has been critical. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, but it seems that there have been quite a few energy studies on such communuties now. Even in Sackett (1996) it was claimed that the work day was perhaps 30% shorter for them than for us. Not as dramatic as I was thinking, but still a far cry from "one study that was totally refuted".

Not mutually exclusive
And either are better than the current reality of being a pregnant and postpartum woman

>>22532
This seems incredibly sexual with the woman literally rubbing up under her clothes, and the kid standing there both seems and makes me feel so uncomfortable. Something very off here

My hair was a horrible, greasy mess after trying this. I hear that a water softener can help, though

>21979
Hi, i've done no poo. I've experimented a fair bit with it.

Firstly, you need to lower the usage of shampoo to at most 2-3x a week. Once you can do this without it looking atrocious, you can hop on no poo.

For washing your hair, you need egg yolks + honey (generous amount) + a splash of something like jojoba oil ideally + maybe 1/2 tbsp lemon juice (currently experimenting with this one).
That's it.
Eggs wash and nourish, honey conditions, jjba oil lubricates and reduces mess, lemon juice can help with combating the oiliness from too much jjba oil and has other health benefits.

For shoulder-to-clavicle length hair, 2 egg yolks is good. for longer, you probably need 3 or more -
results are fantastic! I'd post pics but I don't want to be recognised. Hair is very vibrant though! Very easy to comb as well.

If you want to go further, add hair masks once a week full of various essential oils and spices. My current mixture uses:
2 egg yolk,
honey,

Real experience with no shampoo for 200 days

I shave half of my head personally, but one day I'd like to shave it all off

I do! I love how it looks, and it's so easy. I've never seen another woman do it in real life either, but I don't see women dress like me either so I assume people just write me off as eccentric and not a cancer patient. I only cut my hair about once a month or so because I'm lazy so people do regularly see me with longer hair, which probably helps.
