toby y r u vegan

A mix of a few reasons, I have eaten pretty unhealthily for a lot of years and it was time to make a lifestyle change. My wife is in great shape (like 5'3" 120 lbs. after having two kids and her biggest health concern right now is that she can't see her 6-pack anymore) and enjoys running, more intense hiking, and other stuff of that nature that I have no desire to do because of my fat-ness. And I really want to do those things with her. I don't want to be the guy who dies on his family at like 55 y/o because I didn't have the self control to eat right and exercise. Moreover, the lack of ethical treatment to animals is the other major contributing factor. Now, I am not a preachy judg-y vegan that will piss in your cheerios because I feel superior, for I don't. And I still crave meat so hard and wish I could have a fatty serving of chicken fettuccine Alfredo.

If it weren't for my ethical concerns I would have more than likely adopted a lean meat diet and exercise, but I just felt like "going all in" on this. Because I let myself get to the point that I am now (which as I go back and read this makes me sound like one of those people who can't get out of their beds, and that is definitely not me) a drastic change was necessary.

TL;DR I am fat and I love animals.

Go Toby! I was vegan at one point for about a year or so. Then I remembered how much I love cheese. And eggs. And butter.

Yeah I still crave those things so bad. And I literally come from a family that is not too far removed from dairy farmers (grandparents), so it is in the fibers of my being to love all of those things.

Not even LSAC is so cruel as to have an actual passage from Kant on the test. But there could def. be a passage that discusses Kant. I either haven't done it or don't remember it, tho.

Ugh. Kant.

I taught freshman intro to ethics for 5 yrs and still HATE HATE HATE the groundwork

Yeah Kant (and Hegel) were all up in my husband's thesis and I edited it. Fucking german philosophers, ruining my free time.

I wrote my honors thesis about the categorical imperative

EDIT: Don't quote.

Dang I am putting myself on blast today.

I have an MA in English from a T20.

im genuinely curious about t20 in the english MA world. is there really a thing as "t(insert # here)" outside of law schools is there bigEnglish?

Hahaha. There is BigEnglish. It is better known as tenure at an Ivy.

But, no. We definitely didn't refer to schools by rank. Different programs have stronger areas of study than others, so the perceived prestige of your program is dependent on your speciality. Also, you are judged primarily on the work you produce. Research holds most significance. Someone who has been published and has presented at conferences but attends a lower-ranked school will likely receive more respect than someone who attended a higher-ranked program, but didn't publish or present.

Yeah this has been the hardest for us -- figuring out how to make ish taste good. We did figure out this flat bread with a great sauce and portobello mushrooms and red peppers dinner that was awesome.

TLS is asking why you does this.
Can't write, can't call, can't budge this.
Look at me, I'm betting HLS will love this.
It ain't the way you like it huh?
My GPA is keeping you from bitin', huh?
Well I won't turn down money -

I made a good video for biology class in high school that featured Che guvarra getting a tape worm. So you could say I'm the next Scorsese
