There were never any spoilers! He took my family hostage and is making me do this! I swear, he made meALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

Post your life hacks below! 1. When boiling pasta (or anything for that matter) add a dash of olive oil to the water beforehand. It will never boil over. 2. Drink lots of water each day. Your face will clear up and you will generally feel better. 3. Cook with shallots instead of onions. You're welcome! (Not that there is anything wrong with onion ) 4. For unlimited free game rentals - set aside roughly $60. Buy the used games you want to try from Gamestop and return them within a week for a full refund. Repeat.

I'll do it sometime tonight, but I'm about to eat dinner soon. Gonna have a giant slab of bacon strips with a side of pork chops and steak sandwiches. With a stringy piece of chicken as a garnish. "rabbit food".

Sweet 8-bit art dude! It really brings me back to when I was but a wee lad. I kind of want to see a video of these with some awesome music and animation now!

I love these drawings! They are so awesome and cute I could just burst! Time to sit back, relax, and watch the sibling rivalry/existential drama play out for our new little self-aware equines!

I think there are some interesting parallels between becoming a vegetarian and becoming a brony. Most people shoot down both ideas without even trying them. Come to think of it, I used to think both of these things were ridiculous. Until I tried them.

Excuse me? You're on my thread. No offense, but I'll voice my opinion as much as I damn well please. Eww... who eats tofu on a regular basis? It's highly processed, and pretty gross except in stir fry. Beans, chickpeas, almonds, squash, nuts, etc are all way healthier sources of protein.

Yup. I worked in a produce department for five years, and I was a meat eater for most of it. It's actually cheaper to get vegetarian options. I know because I do it on a weekly basis.

Yeah, about that... You're right, they wouldn't hesitate to hunt me down, and I admit I would do my best to fight back. I'd lose, of course; but I would fight to my last breath none the less. However, we are fully evolved human being that have the capacity to know right from wrong, not wolves.

I'd like to see a source on that. Everything I've read about going vegetarian (as long as you get proper nutrition) points to increased longevity. Because plants aren't conscious. They don't have a consciousness. Besides, the reason trees have fruit is so that animals will eat it to spread the seeds. Exactly. I can condone hunting. I'm not going to do it, but I can respect it. My point is that since humanity seems to consider itself special, I think humans should be strive to rise above those baseless animal instincts. I mean, come on! We should know better!

1. No, cows produce large amounts of methane, which is contributing to the greenhouse effect. 2. No, plants produce oxygen; animals exhale carbon dioxide. Thing is, veggies don't actually eat trees. Weird, right? I want people to breed less animals to begin with. Just eating a hamburger is shortsided, Ron White. I don't think you're a monster! You've only been doing what you've been doing since you were very small. I just think that's no reason to keep doing it. I can't make anybody change their mind, but I can try to give you some reasons to possibly change. If I don't say something, then that means I just stood by while all of these horrible things happened. In my opinion, future humans will look back at the things we did and shake their heads. I understand that the world can't change overnight, but if even one person is convinced to try it, I suceeded.

Um, there is no way you're being persecuted; you're on the side of the ovewhelming majority in this thread! What I'm doing is called disagreeing. Also, would you mind deflating your diction a tad, please? You're making this sound like we actually are about to have a war.

How I feel checking this thread: I would have thought more people here would be open/willing to go vegetarian. OH WELL... Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to researching cartoons by watching season 1 of The Powerpuff Girls.

That's not how it works. Cattle (mostly steers and heifers, some cows, and even fewer bulls) arrive via truck or rail from a ranch, farm, or feedlot. Place animals in holding pens. Knock them out by applying an electric shock of 300 volts and 2 amps to the back of the head, effectively stunning them,[11] or by use of a captive bolt pistol to the front of the cow's head (a pneumatic or cartridge-fired captive bolt). Swine can be rendered unconscious by CO2/inert gas stunning. (This step is prohibited under strict application of Halal and Kashrut codes.) Hang them upside down by both of their hind legs and place them on the processing line. Sever the carotid artery and jugular vein with a knife. The blood drains from the body, causing death through exsanguination

I'm seeing a lot of people talking about protein. That's the thing, you can get plenty of protein from other sources. It's one of the biggest misconceptions about being vegetarian. I eat black beans, chickpeas, quinoa, almonds, and the occasional tofu. (I'm not a big fan of tofu myself, though it can be good in stir-fry) What we call “protein” is, in fact, a family of amino acid molecules. When grouped together in various combinations we get proteins. There’s no "protein" molecule hanging out in that hamburger; rather, the animal tissue is made of many different amino acid building blocks. Protein is just a catch-all term we use. You won't keel over from not eating meat.

"I love life . . . I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a, beautiful sadness."

Wait, there are other people in this thread? Yeah, we should fight the real menace! Transformers! They'll be the downfall of us all! Wait... Transformers = Hasbro Hasbro = ...

It takes a LOT more veggies than it would meat! I think what you're trying to say is that moderation is the key. Otherwise that argument sounds pretty ridiculous. I totally get that eating too much of anything is bad for you.

Neither of us is wishing death on the other person, we're just having a friendly debate! Besides, me wishing death on somebody while preaching vegetarianism would be pretty counterproductive.

Good thing I'm not a vegan, nor a moron who would do something that idiotic. It's pretty easy to eat properly. Did you know Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in the US, and that eating too much red meat is the primary culprit?

LOL you're going to eat more meat just to spite vegetarians? That's pretty childish if you ask me. It won't work out in the end because you'll live a shorter life span, so it all evens out in the end. Enjoy the heart disease!

I agree to disagree. Have you ever worked in a grocery store? If less people are buying, less will be produced. I mean, you can only keep meat for so long. The average person (in the U.S.) eats nearly 200 pounds of meat per year. http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2… Thats 200 pounds of meat that isn't consumed.

That's because we feel like we do have the moral high ground... we've given up meat, something that we enjoyed, for various reasons. The only arguemnt I've heard in favor of meat (besides that one nutrition link Twilight Sparkle posted) is that people like eating it too much to stop. By not eating livestock bred for the purpose of eating... that would mean less livestock is bred to eat. So no, nothing is going to waste because I don't eat meat. It's not like I throw it out after I buy it. Derp.
