Nice man. Especially quitting the cigarettes because I see how hard it is for a lot of people to stop.

I'd like to take this moment to congratulate you on doing good for yourself and watching over your health!
Thank you for taking the time to care for yourself 
Just one question, If i may, why did you choose pescatarian over going vegetarian? 
Keep it up man!
Good to hear from you!
Nothing but the best,
Your friend,

I might go vegetarian eventually. Not sure. My decision not to eat certain kinds of things is based on ethics. I suspect that consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe, and is present in all things in varying degrees which correlate with the amount of information represented by those things, in therms of state-change complexity. Thus for me the choice in whether or not eat something does not depend upon the fact THAT something conscious, since all things including plants and even atoms contain some degree of conscious, but rather upon DEGREE of consciousness. There is a decent amount of neurological and behavioral evidence to support the notion that (most if not all) fish are not really conscious of pain. Furthermore, fish is the most abundant efficient, renewable source of lean protein that is loaded with the vital amino acids that support healthy brain function. In order to obtain the same nutrients as a vegan (which I would have to be rather than vegetarian since I do not consume dairy), it would be necessary to eat a much greater quantity of carbohydrates and saturated fats, which I would rather avoid.

Thank you for sharing that with me!
I limit my dairy greatly myself, I haven't drank dairy milk for ever (almond ftw!) nor have I used butter (coconut oil Extra virgin!). Its cheese which gets me however.
I share you ethical sentiments, and ideas on consciousness it sounds quite similar to one of my reasons for being vegetarian and I hope you continue your endeavors for that reason and many other benefits!
For me its not ethics alone, but every reason one could fathom, from health to ethics to food security, to my own feelings and emotions on the matter.
Hope you have the most radiant day Morrow!
and again great to hear from you 
Reflectively yours,
Ras

Fish aren't really abundant sadly. 90% of large commercial fish are gone. The oceans are massively over fished and are virtually fished clean. It's a huge crisis that most people are not aware of.
I think pescatarian is a very good diet choice though. Just make sure you get sustainable seafood and don't wat shrimp (shrimp is the most ecologically unfriendly seafood)

good for you man
im ready to quit drinking after 18 years ive been a stone cold alchy forever and smoked weed for almost 20 years
im about to be 34 in November
I have a date set this Friday
I haven't been sober in almost 20 years and I want to live life without drugs and alcohol
I have lotsa of benzos and such to help me kick drinking
its gonna be hard now I know especially now that im into craft beer
I haven't smoked weed in two weeks and I have a med card
I do miss weed but it makes me insane nowadays because it just reminds me how shitty my life is and the horrible decisions ive made in the past
also I have a lengthy prison sentence hanging over my head and has contributed to a lot of stress and shit even though im innocent in my mind
ive stopped drinking before cold turkey and it felt like I had the flu for 3 days
I stopped for 2 months but did oxys and weed and shit
fuck that
ive spent a fortune on beers and weed in my life,i could have had a sweet house and car
I spend about 10$ a day on beer but for YEARS/decades and used to spend about 50-$70 on weed for decades
no benzos nothing
thanks for being a inspiration

this dude's a FUCKing: 
I'll be 26 a week from tomorrow. I've been using drugs for 10 years. Started off with weed, and almost immediately started smoking all day, every day. My using pattern involved constantly switching what I used, so I never got physically addicted to anything, fortunately. I did a lot pills, especially xanax when I was younger and oxycontin when I was older. I drank a lot of vodka. I did A LOT of shrooms and synthetic psychedelics. Towards the end, I was using Robitussin 3-4 times a week. I have probably used DXM over 300 times. I eventually started having bad experiences when I used it, and would wind up in the hospital. In March, I overdosed on DXM and went to the hospital and was told- as I was tripping face- that they were doing blood tests because they thought I might be suffering acute kidney/liver failure. I was terrified. Addiction is a brain disease once it takes hold, and I got tired of being an automaton, a slave to my limbic system. I got help and went to rehab. The rest is history.

And I didn't really decide to quit smoking. I was in rehab and then one day I was just looking at my cigarette and I thought to myself, this is fucking disgusting. And I threw it out, and lost the desire to smoke. Can't explain it. I have been doing what they tell me to do in AA, turning my will and life over to God, even though I have my doubts about the existence of such a thing, but so far the effect has been obvious. Shortly after I got out of rehab I realized that my body image was very distorted, that I was about 50 pounds overweight, and needed to do something. I also began to be able to feel again, and with that, I started to have compassion not only for people, but for all sentient beings. That led to my decision to cut out most meats.

Dairy involves cows living a life of poverty and suffering. It is also unnatural to drink milk after infancy. Humans are the only animals that do it. Milk is also filled with hormones. My skin has cleared up tremendously since eliminating dairy and processed sugar.

Quote:
However, the latest research concluded that the mere presence of the receptors did not mean the animals felt pain, but only triggered a unconscious reaction to the threat.
...
The new research also referred to a study done on fish which were caught with a hook and then released. The fish resumed feeding and normal activity immediately or within minutes and went on to show good long-term survival, which indicated they had not experienced pain.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_in_fish
Quote:
"Pain is predicated on awareness. The key issue is the distinction between nociception and pain. A person who is anaesthetised in an operating theatre will still respond physically to an external stimulus, but he or she will not feel pain."
https://scientiasalon.wordpress.com/2015/02/05/why-fish-likely-dont-feel-pain/
Quote:
Taken together, if the signal is strong enough and if sufficient information is transferred and integrated, then the feeling of pain emerges (at present, how this occurs remains a mystery).
In summary, to the best of our knowledge, for any vertebrate nervous system to feel pain it must be capable of transferring and integrating a certain level of neural information. I contend that such a nervous system must have, at least, the following organizational principles:
1. An attentional system to amplify neural information;
2. Distinct topographical coding of different qualities of somatosensory information;
3. The integration of different somatosensory information both between modalities (e.g., touch and pain) and within a single modality (sharp versus dull pain);
4. Higher-level integration of noxious signaling with other relevant information (e.g., emotional valence). This requires significant long-range axonal pathways (feedforward and feedback) between brain regions integrating this information;
5. Laminated and columnar organization of canonical neural circuits to differentiate between inputs and to allow preservation of spatiotemporal relationships. The lamina must be capable of processing inputs as well as outputs to either higher or lower hierarchical regions while maintaining meaningful representations of the neural information. The lamina must possess strong local inhibitory interneuron circuits to filter information;
6 Strong lateral interconnections (both local and long distance) between minicolumns to maintain integrity and biological relevance of processing in relation to initial stimulus.
I propose that each of these features is necessary but not sufficient for pain in vertebrates. On this basis it should be concluded that fish lack the prerequisite neuroanatomical features necessary to perform the required neurophysiological functions responsible for the feeling of pain. Fish lack the distinct topographical coding of spatiotemporal integration of different somatosensory modalities; they lack the higher–order integration of somatosensory information with other sensory systems; and they lack a laminated and columnar organization of somatosensory information. What, then, does it feel like to be a fish? The evidence best supports the idea that it doesn’t feel like anything to be a fish. They are non-conscious animals that survive without feeling; they just do it. There is nothing heretical about this idea. For much of our lives, we humans also exist non-consciously.

Well congratulations, man! I bet it feels pretty good making change and solving life's challenges on your own. I'm 26 too, starting to dab so much I see withdrawals and also looking to grow more/at a faster rate. Improve yeild?
It sounds like you are entering the program with a healthy outlook (and you speak the ideals, showing the value, without sounding cult-y). I'm positive you'll do fine. Keep up the good fight and keep studying hard at the academy!
Also, I use Muthsera as my screen name a lot for that exact reason, haha! Morrowind was one of the greatest boons to our generation.

I eat cereal almost everyday. you know you can drink milk from nuts right? Almond milk is really healthy. I make my own in like 20 minutes 
I disagree about the moderation though. I think most people are lactose-intolerant, but you don't realize when you're body is used to it. Since I stopped, one bowl of cereal would wreck me for a day or two.
dairy is whack man.

i still eat a bowl of cereal now and again. just as long u dont overdo it u'll be alright. balance it out with exercise and lots of healthy vegetables.
I eat cereal every day with almond milk.

cause your body is still used to it. I used to chug milk, eat a ton of cheese, and I thought I felt fine.
but it wasn't till I stopped for like a month+ that I really felt the difference, and my body stopped metabolizing it as well.
maybe you're a little more well adjusted to digesting lactic acid, but more people than you would think aren't

Cigarettes are useless, good riddance. Cost money, unhealthy, and no real high.
Say morrowasted, did you try getting high on endorphins?
My favorite source of endorphins is 2 hours of workout followed by long hot saunas. A real natural high, and good for the sex too.

Yeah I recently got into eating raw habanero peppers but I gave it up because I think it was starting to damage my stomach lining.

As far as I know only descendants of northern Europeans are likely to be lactose tolerant. They drank cow milk during winters as a source of calories and developed tolerance to it. No other group of people, to my knowledge, did the same. I am of Irish descent, but I think dairy still contributes to skin problems for me, and it wasn't hard to give up at all.

The only kind of cheese I was eating at the end was bleu cheese or gorgonzola cheese on my salads anyway. I just stopped putting it on my salads. It wasn't hard at all. Giving up yogurt was harder, but still not difficult.

Yes they are. Not directly, but your body enacts a pretty strong response upon their ingestion. Hence the sweating and relaxed state it provides.
Believe it or not, Habaneros reduce the risk of stomach problems. I really couldn't tell you how it works, but research shows they prevent ulcers AND make them worse (if you do manage to get 'em). Not much is really known about the effects on the digestive system, except they're mostly acute.

Anything very spicy will cause an endorphin release if you eat enough of it. Try it. Eat a raw habanero in one bite. Then eat another. Eat as many as you can. Wait 10 minutes. You'll see.

Hmmm I will have to do more research. I was definitely starting to get increasing levels of stomach pain. At one point I was munching down 5 in a row in a matter of 15 minutes. Then it got to where if I ate even one my stomach was all twisted up.

However, the latest research concluded that the mere presence of the receptors did not mean the animals felt pain, but only triggered a unconscious reaction to the threat.
...
The new research also referred to a study done on fish which were caught with a hook and then released. The fish resumed feeding and normal activity immediately or within minutes and went on to show good long-term survival, which indicated they had not experienced pain.

Quote:
"Pain is predicated on awareness. The key issue is the distinction between nociception and pain. A person who is anaesthetised in an operating theatre will still respond physically to an external stimulus, but he or she will not feel pain."
https://scientiasalon.wordpress.com/2015/02/05/why-fish-likely-dont-feel-pain/
Quote:
Taken together, if the signal is strong enough and if sufficient information is transferred and integrated, then the feeling of pain emerges (at present, how this occurs remains a mystery).
In summary, to the best of our knowledge, for any vertebrate nervous system to feel pain it must be capable of transferring and integrating a certain level of neural information. I contend that such a nervous system must have, at least, the following organizational principles:
1. An attentional system to amplify neural information;
2. Distinct topographical coding of different qualities of somatosensory information;
3. The integration of different somatosensory information both between modalities (e.g., touch and pain) and within a single modality (sharp versus dull pain);
4. Higher-level integration of noxious signaling with other relevant information (e.g., emotional valence). This requires significant long-range axonal pathways (feedforward and feedback) between brain regions integrating this information;
5. Laminated and columnar organization of canonical neural circuits to differentiate between inputs and to allow preservation of spatiotemporal relationships. The lamina must be capable of processing inputs as well as outputs to either higher or lower hierarchical regions while maintaining meaningful representations of the neural information. The lamina must possess strong local inhibitory interneuron circuits to filter information;
6 Strong lateral interconnections (both local and long distance) between minicolumns to maintain integrity and biological relevance of processing in relation to initial stimulus.
I propose that each of these features is necessary but not sufficient for pain in vertebrates. On this basis it should be concluded that fish lack the prerequisite neuroanatomical features necessary to perform the required neurophysiological functions responsible for the feeling of pain. Fish lack the distinct topographical coding of spatiotemporal integration of different somatosensory modalities; they lack the higher–order integration of somatosensory information with other sensory systems; and they lack a laminated and columnar organization of somatosensory information. What, then, does it feel like to be a fish? The evidence best supports the idea that it doesn’t feel like anything to be a fish. They are non-conscious animals that survive without feeling; they just do it. There is nothing heretical about this idea. For much of our lives, we humans also exist non-consciously.
There isn't enough evidence to support a conclusion that fish do not feel pain. A link to the study is here and it even states fish most likely do not feel pain. Not to say the conclusion doesn't make sense, but there are serious limitations on our understanding of neurobiology.

How hot those are really varies a ton. Ive eaten some that were ok. Had some so hot though, that sticking a fork on one and licking it made it feel like someone was cutting my mouth with razor blades for almost an hour. You know its bad when the pain gets worse on its own half way through. I think it depends on where & how they're grown

Most likely do not feel pain is rather inconclusive. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I sure as hell don't know. The conclusion is fish don't/can't feel pain the same way vertebrates do. That they can prove. To say they can't feel any pain is different. Pain is subjective, I don't really see how its possible to determine if fish can feel pain outside of asking one. There is an obvious evolutionary advantage for fish to experience some level of pain whether or not evidence backs up that theory. If you are only eating fish because they don't feel pain you really have a weak argument.

No. I'm a hypocrite cause I eat factory farmed animals. I don't want to, but I don't have enough money to eat free range meat, and it's too hard to become a vegetarian when my girlfriend refuses to (though I have tried to get her to.) I don't have an issue with the pain before death part, I have an issue with the constant suffering forced upon animals to make them more profitable. When I get a decent job after school I plan on changing my diet to mostly fish and only free range meat.

Those are pretty lame excuses man. Being vegetarian isn't any more expensive than eating meat. who cares if your girlfriend wants to eat animals? you're still your own person right?

Being a vegetarian is actually ridiculously cheap, assuming you actually, you know, eat a lot of vegetables.
