My entire argument is subjective, like any other, as it stems from my personal views, thoughts and experiences.

Try again but now making a genuine effort to not sound cryptic and obtuse.

Words spoken without the intention to be clearly understood by the majority listening are just empty sounds formed by warmed air escaping ones mouth.

That’s not a doomer in my understanding. The doomer is the person that does not care, simply put; they’re the guys rooting for disgrace and misery, waiting for the “I told you so” moment. You’re more of an prepared pessimist.

Depends on who you ask and the background of your question.

Yes

It is undeniable in current day the horrors industrial farming creates and inflicts on millions of sentient beings to sustain a business that was originally fomented in order to supply food for a post-war world where several countries were rendered with little or no usable land for farming.

The traditional model of farming, where animals were an integral part of a production chain that kept the land itself alive and reduced waste to a minimum was destroyed to give place to a highly destructive model where lowest cost, hight profit margins and speed of production is absolute.

In this process, thousands, if not millions, of landrace animals, along with heirloom seed varieties, went extinct and were lost. Petroleum products and by-products entered the daily life, from food, to clothing, to essentially anything imaginable. Not because those were better but because it was cheaper and protected interests.

Knowing this and still leaning heavily on an animal protein based diet with no concern for its toll on our collective ecosystem and the suffering it creates is nothing short of regrettable.

No

Meat is cheap. Artificially cheap but still. Processed foods cheaper; with meat in it, even more.

Many people throughout the world do not have access to the means to have a fully exclusive or at least heavily based vegetable diet, either because of the environment they live in or simply because they lack the means to afford it. Many people in developing countries still depend on cattle to provide food and raw materials, if not on hunting, trapping and fishing. Even more people, in rich, developed countries, don’t have the money to afford a proper diet, even less a vegetable based one.

These people are as worthy of living as any other. It can not be taken against them wanting to survive.

Maybe

Some people aren’t aware how much their personal decision can have a meaningful impact.

Others don’t have the time or hability to extract from vegetables meals that can truly satisfy them and don’t want to resort to ultraprocessed foods. Others are simply too deep into a cultural mindset that blocks them from experimenting.

It is just another type of barrier. There is a degree of lack of interest and effort in this stage but we can’t (shouldn’t) hold against people their personal circumstances, which adds poorly when it comes to changing minds, habits and cultures.

Take your pick.

I respect that feeling but quitting is not an option, is it? The same with putting down those trying to make a difference, no matter how small.

Temperature. You had really low temperatures followed by a sharp hike. That induced thermal shock. Are you having cooler nights with some humidity?

And you are right; those are in the nightshade family; they enjoy full sun.

They seem to be getting sun burn; I’d change the watering schedule to the late evening and allow the plants to get more sun gradually, especially in the morning.

Give the plants a supplement to encourage new foliage development.

Heat shock. I know those leaves from afar.

These guys need to cut back on the caffeine. Next, they will be bringing duels back.

As I read the thread again I was on the verge of thinking I was thinking about kitchen paper towels.

I have to insist on my original stance. The zig-zag paper towels commonly found in public bathrooms, where I live, almost melt when in contact with water. I buy them to my own house, to use as tissues, as the paper is soft enough for such use. I use them in my workplace. I find them at cafes, supermarkets and shopping centers. Every single time, so fragile it requires several towels for one to dry their hands and it makes no difference how much you ball it up, as the paper starts to fray and dissolve has it soaks.

I do not doubt you but the nearly indestructible paper towels were a thing some ten years ago, here, not anymore.

Ah, the details. I understand. If you have a yard, use it to water the plants. Flowers like the organically enriched water.

Don’t. That grease sticks to the pipes inner walls. It builds up a crust that has the capacity to trap other things in it.

Pee, poo, paper (toilet).

Put it into the toilet flush tank and you save a few liters for the next sit at the White Throne.

Unless the paper towels are of a reinforced type of paper, usually, every paper present at a bathroom is water soluble.

Please, don’t. Those have the power of sticking to everywhere and anything.

I don’t know where you are talking from but in my country that falls under false advertising and is punishable with hefty fines, especially because cloggings of sewer systems by such products are charged to the origin, which is becoming easier to do. The dumbest person on the land would start thinking if they got charged for a sewer clean-up more than once.

I do not advise it. Dump the liquid in your kitchen sink and the solids into your bin.

Good for you! I wish I was that fortunate.

There are wet wipes specifically made to be flushable and safe for such end, being isent of plastic, but most people think baby wipes are the same. Which they are not.

Free tip: every now and then, dump some bleach down your drains. It dissolves hair and the fat from soaps and creams.
