I was vegan in India for one month and vegetarian for two without noticing because the food is so good.

you were wasting your breath. they had already admitted it.

admitting what? that they think a non-human animal's right to life is contingent on how tasty vegan food is?

[-] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

that taste is the overwhelmingly determinant factor in their choice. it was so overwhelming that, by their own account, they didn't notice they weren't eating meat for months.

never be the first one to bring up taste. but when your interlocutor does, pounce on it.

[-] ambiguous_yelp 2 points 3 weeks ago

yep, using arguments like "but vegan food can taste great" although true decentres the victim and centres the abuser

Oreo cookies are delicious vegan and "taste good" - but they are not healthy at all. Taste isn't the major factor in determining health outcomes.

FAQ


are there requirements to be an ESL teacher other than being a fluent English speaker?

nope.

some countries and schools require a TEFL certificate or prefer candidates with an associate's degree depending on the position, but if you want to teach English, all you need is to be a fluent English speaker.


how can you afford to travel long-term?

The cost of living in most countries is around $500 USD a month for transportation, rent, utilities and food altogether; teaching English pays $2000 USD a month with zero qualifications or experience.

every month I taught English, I had a few extra months of my cost of living.

I taught English for about 7 years.

as long as you're making more than 500 USD a month remotely in any job, you can travel long-term.


What's the best country?

Pffft get outta here.
