If I had a penny for every time a non-vegan gave me unsolicited nutritional advice...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending stupid tech corporations here (as if), there are plenty of bad practices in the tech industry. Data servers and the production of hardware are major energy consumers that drive up greenhouse emissions. But so are most industries.
My point is about putting the blame of climate change in the individual citizen. My point is that you can't measure CO2 emissions in "smartphone charges". You need to have perspective.
This is a pie chart from 2016* on greenhouse emissions per sector. Notice that, in no way, things such like web hosting manage to break even a 1%. I would especulate these fall under "Commercial". And those emissions are not from the industry itself but from its energy source. 70%~ of ALL greenhouse gases come from energy production. THIS is the heaviest thing to tackle.
Everything else is good too, sustainable servers, recycling, I'm all for it. My point, again, is that making consumers choose between I don't fucking know, twitter or tumblr is completely pointless. To have a better tech industry you need to ask for well enforced regulations that cover all of them. To fight climate change, you need to tackle all the above. This is not the work of a single individual but the work of organized millitancy, scientific research and state regulation with millions of people involved.
*yes, it is a little obsolete, I would appreciate newer graphs

Not being vegan isn't some "controversial opinion" that's literally the status quo come on.

Celiac is weird because it’s technically a disability but also it doesn’t *really* impact my life so I feel weird calling it a disability but also that’s only because it has influenced my life so drastically from such a young age that I literally cannot remember what life is like not having celiac but I have it easier than other people so really it’s not a big deal but have I experienced discrimination or unfair treatment for it?? Yeah like. Regularly. But maybe it’s not harming my life and that’s not ableism that’s just people not being able to accommodate my *checks notes* autoimmune disorder that severely restricts what I can eat at risk of severe illness ergo impairing my ability to interact and live in the world

I miss cheese, man
Most vegan cheeses are NOT doing it 😭
Unless it's chao creamery original, which melts fairly nice and is actually pretty decent on burgers and makes for a good grilled "cheese" if you don't care about cheese pulls, but it is not a substitute for everything, I have tried 😔
There are other flavors and types under this brand but I don't know if they're any good because they aren't anywhere near me and I do not have the money to order them online.
I do know in my heart though that I am officially over vegan mozzarella, regardless of brand, because it's just not good and doesn't even taste like mozzarella, more like two kids in a trench coat pretending to be mozzarella. It's like too rich and sour, and if I attempt dairy-free pizza again in the future, it will probably be without cheese substitutes entirely, even though I still think that's a sad state of affairs. And my frustration about it is not helped by the fact that YouTube keeps bombarding me with pizza commercials 😭
I also just really fucking miss queso, there aren't any good like nice goopy fake cheeses that aren't like similarly too rich and sour. It's a sad state of affairs overall in the world of adult onset dairy allergies. If not for chao creamery original, I would have become the joker long ago I think

Currently my philosophy on meat-eating is:
Eat less meat
Source it as ethically and locally as possible
Be fed to pigs when I die.
that last bullet point reinvigorated my laughing fit from earlier (thank you)

"Queer people the least oppressed people" said a white, cishet, Christian man who is probably middle or upper-middle class with a wife and kids who's also American.
The man who is literally the least oppressed person in the entire world said queer people are the least oppressed. Idk if he knows what oppressed even means.
