    Zero surprise. Most people are living life on autopilot. They will continue to ignore major issues—like politics, climate change, and corporations mistreating people—to our collective long-term detriment. Anecdotally, I have friends who don’t give two fucks about such important things. Instead, they focus almost purely on MMA, reality TV, and stand-up comedy.

    I mean, we all have hobbies but damn, pay attention and take a stand on serious issues that affect us all.

      That’s why I went vegan 4 odd years back. No point posturing about climate change, then not doing the easiest thing to personally combat it.

          Na there’s a lot of vegan bacons that manages to hit the spot enough for me. It’s the sweets I miss the most, like tan square or lolly cake, hard to find analogues that hit the same notes.

          But I’ve been talking about a purge day for a while where I’ll break and eat as much lolly cake as I can. Maybe I’ll make myself sick of it.
