  • Yes – you should definetely segment away politics from some parts of your life. You should not fully disengage with it, but take a breather every now and then. Go for a walk, talk with some people about a hobby you enjoy despite your differences or just take a prolonged toilet break.

    I find it infinitely exhausting that it seems like everything online these days evolves into a political discussion. I recently saw someone asking about how they can make more time for reading in their day – someone mentioned that they read in the morning when working from home while having their morning coffee. And someone barged in and were like “Oh MuSt Be NiCE to HAve ThE TiMe FOR ThaT! No, soMe of Us Have To CommUTE 2 HouRS each way DaiLY BeCAuSe Of LAte StAGe CaPItalisM”. And then it evolved into some revolutionary eat the rich stuff from there – which i for the most part can follow.

    But it was a post about asking how to make more time for reading… How did it end up with revolution? I personally believe the main problem with injecting politics into everything is that it becomes predictable and bland. Just like my example above. It’s an interesting discussion for sure! But perhaps don’t force it down everyone’s throat all the time. It’s like that friend who has a hobby that they just wont stop talking about all. the. fucking. time. It dissolves the seriousness of the discussion and makes other people tired of it.

    Again, i’m not saying abstain or fully disengage from politics. But for gods sake, let people take a break every now and then if they’re able to do so, and for five minutes just focus on something joyful eventho everything is going to shit at the moment.








  • Nope, agriculture has existed for a looong long time. With that said, i try to limit my intake of food grown in conventional agriculture with pesticides and all that shit.

    I’m not anti-technology on food per se. But i’m very sceptical whenever we introduce new foods or stuff to put into our bodies. It feels like 30 years passes and then the article “X is super fucking bad for you actually” comes out. So i try to limit myself to ingesting stuff that have existed for a long time - because at least then we know the long term effects of them.

    I probably wouldn’t eat it myself. Not due to “Muh meat. Muh masculinityh!” – but because i feel like, that everytime we mess too much with food, we end up making it bad for ourselves in some weird way. Processed foods and all that jazz.

    So i’ll continue eating my legumes, greens and the monthly beef.
