Preface: Australian, may not be helpful for other countries
Do you have anybody who can sneak food in for you? I had a friend in ICU who was refused vegan food. I visited them and found out they hadn't eaten, so I head to the nearest store and get them food and smuggle it in (as well as their meds they were refused access to).
It was also the case that in their file they were not marked as vegan despite telling all the doctors and nurses. I had to suss out the treating doctor as they were the only one who could add that to the file, but even then they thought it meant "veggo" (Vegeterian) and that ultimately didn't fix the issue. So it could be the case that you haven't told the right person? I understand it's stupid that you have to go through all this effort, but don't give out hope as it might be a management issue stopping you from getting food.
You can't just title a post here as "Study:" and not link to any relevant scientific literature. I couldn't find any research referenced in your article, only youtube videos and news articles. Those are not problematic references in and of itself for a blog, but they are not studies which is what your title seems to indicate that you are talking about. Please just link the DOI of the paper you are talking about and stop self posting Medium articles with no references!
You then mention "20 compelling reasons to adopt a whole food, plant-based diet" which is not directly related to veganism. Most of your reasons come across as snake-oil cures to every aliment by practicing a plant based diet. Plant based =/= vegan. Remember where you are posting this, this is a vegan community after all. Reason 20 seems a bit strange as "reducing animal product consumption" is not what most vegans are trying to do. We aim to eliminate it the best we can.
I have messaged you on Lemmy two weeks ago regarding posting medium articles with tracking links (unique friend codes that bypass the paywall/loginwall) and I have commented publicly telling you to post the articles in the comments so that it is accessible for everyone to read. You still haven't replied to a simple question about if you were writing these articles yourself and self-promoting them, and I made sure not to allude to if such a thing was welcomed or not as I wanted a discussion about it and for there to be transparency regarding self-promotion and biases.
This is a warning that if you post any misleading articles, or plant-based health dieting blogs, that you will not be allowed to post here again. If you could just respond to the criticism in the comments that would be very helpful as it is very unclear what your intentions are and people may assume the worst or unreasonably overlook this as you can't assume anything from the little discourse there is from you.
You currently have 25 posts and 2 comments on your profile. It's in your best interest to see your engagement go up.
You're not alone. This isn't normal and you're not crazy for not wanting to be spied on just for making the mistake of going outside and walking past someone's house.
Please post the article in the comments so that everyone can read it. Also, are you writing these articles?
DE: XFCE
WM (Edit: compositor, you know what I mean): Hyprland, Wayfire (close second)
I really like how stable and polished XFCE feels, but I've got into tilling/dynamic window managers over the past few years so I just use Hyprland now. It's not as stable and whenever there's a bad commit and I can't be bothered looking into it I just use Wayfire and praise the spinning cylinder and rotating windows for a few weeks.
There is no help that can save me for I cannot exit vim.
Vim takes yet another victim. Now I'm stuck in eternal damnation, never able to close the damn thing.
Just don't update the printer's firmware! Mine's being going great for years now, but I'm scared that I might accidentally update it and the toner will be labeled unauthorised
This is so ridiculous, I fucking love it. I just have waybar bound to a hotkey, but this solution is truly amazing
I relate a lot to this. I also think I have Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder which is apparently meant to be common with ADHD. It takes hours to wake up if I get up before midday, it's so annoying
Thank you. I was able to check their online sellers and a few are from Australia (where I'm from) and are cheaper than what I was looking at
Does anyone have a good source for vitamin d supplements? I'm deficient and need to supplement it.
Most of the supplements I could find online were not vegan, and the ones that were are exorbitantly priced. Like, surely vegan vitamin d3 can be bought in bulk for cheap? I'm probably not looking hard enough, but searching for "vegan vitamin d" kept giving me lanolin and "plant based".

Edit: I'm from Australia, so things might cost more if importing from overseas.
This is the best one I've found:

Edit 2 (2024-04-07): Adding this here just in case anyone reads this in future. I haven't received my order from uproar and have had no successful contact with them. It's been a month now, so I'm ordering much the same at iherb. I've opted with the deva brand.
Yeh the federation is scuffed atm. Manually indexing comments (by searching them) works, but I don't know if that's helpful or even wanted
I love btop because of how fancy the graphs look and it also shows disk utilisation. I use it pretty much wherever I can. When I want something more simple I use bottom btm --basic and alias it to top
I've got it. Thanks!
Linux can use filesystems other than ext4 for root. Using NTFS is probably not the best idea, but it might be do-able?
This is a community for vegans by vegans. Its aim is to enable discussions about veganism first and foremost. We don't owe it to carnists to let them come here and walk all over our values just because they feel offended by our existence. This place is meant to be a safe space that is welcoming and kind.
After several incidents of brigrading by carnists and at the request of community members, I (and others on the mod team) have decided to be more strict in enforcing the rules here and ensure that the conversation isn't overrun by anti-vegans.
I've cleaned up the rules a bit and made it a bit shorter, I'd like feedback on that (also any mods feel free to change them up, it's more of a draft lol). I've also started following up by looking at the modlog and banning repeat offenders.
We also have new mods and I am sure that there would be room for others once we organise what we have currently. If you want to help now, please report comments/posts especially the ones that make the community unsafe for vegans.
I'm committed to making this place much less hostile, but oh my, some of these posts really do blow up at the worst of times.
Please, please, please be kind, not just to other humans and yourself, but to all the earthlings ✌️

I don't think I've seen every strawman argument against veganism all at the same time in the same place like that last thread that reached the front page the other day...
There's one moderator on the community, but that's not enough to stop the trolls coming here to derail any semblance of vegan discourse. Like, banning carnists here isn't gonna happen (unless it does I guess), but we could have mods with copy-paste anti-strawman arguments with proper citations on standby, so hopefully it never gets as bad as the other thread.
I'm not a fan of heavily moderated places, but maybe having a rule like "don't post post x y z argument and watch a b c Earthling Ed video instead" would help cut out some of the "good-faith" antivegans. But then again, the omis were excusing their behavior as it "reached the front page of lemmy", that means murder is OK now! /s
Curious to see what the community's thoughts would be. Do we just need to relegate ourselves to the circlejerk communities from now on, or would this community actually be by vegans for vegans?
Edit 1: I am now a mod of the community. I've reworked the sidebar and added some resources on veganism, rules, and links to other communities. I am interested to gauge feedback on it, and if anyone has any suggestions please comment them :)
It seems that for me whenever the meds "kick in" I can't really mask properly anymore which causes undesired social issues with some friends (especially in an outdoor setting like this meme implies). Wondering how many others experience this, and does anyone know why this happens? I haven't found any good reading on it and the psychs I mention it to just dismiss it.
I am looking for alternative knowledge sources to mozillazine that's a bit more up to date.
Specifically, I am after something that explains advanced about:config options and what each sqlite file and storage directories in my profile are actually used for. When I search online for things I get unhelpful support articles from mozilla and random reddit threads with conflicting information.
I've played around with a lot of things through a lot of trial and error (I can share some about:config values if anyone's interested in them), but I'd like to be directed somewhere I can go to and check first to make sure I won't break my profile tinkering.
I already use ffprofile to set up my user.js, but I'm looking for something with more documentation without having to resort to reading the source code of firefox.
