  • Soak a kitchen towel, wring it out, and line the bottom of the crisper with it. Feel it every once in a while to make sure it’s still damp. That’ll let your crisper be what it was designed to be: a little high-humidity box in an otherwise arid refrigerator.

    Also, take note of how produce is stored at the grocery store. If the store doesn’t refrigerate something (apples, tomatoes, avocados to name a couple), odds are you shouldn’t either. The fruits and veggies that belong in the crisper are the ones that are periodically misted with water in the case at the store. Also probably don’t keep anything tightly wrapped in plastic.

    When people are talked down to, they often dig in their heels due to an emotion called psychological reactance. The reactionary ape that still exists in every human feels challenged and that ape will not allow reason to stop it.

    If you see such a reaction and allow yourself to believe “well that person was just an immature child”, you risk giving yourself license to keep talking down to people. Repeat ad nauseum.

    It doesn’t matter that you’re objectively correct about the effect meat has on the biosphere if you just keep going around that circle, creating 0 new vegans every lap

    The reasoned par of my brain wholeheartedly agrees with you, and when I can convince myself to do so, I let them vibe. Unfortunately the reasoned part of my brain is powerless to stop the fight or flight response that happens when [spindly-legged creature] crosses my field of view. It simply happens.

    If reasoning alone could overcome an otherwise unreasonable physiological response, then allergies wouldn’t exist.
