The thing about alcohol is that it cures my anxiety in the short run while making my anxiety worse in the long run.

This is also the thing about the Internet.

i need pepple to understand that in the first place leather has always been made from the byproducts of butchering animals for meat, otherwise the skin is just tossed and unused. there were some companies farming for leather for a while, particuarly alligator leather, but those were not the norm. peta did so much harm in their campaigns against leather as a concept (its not unethical. yoi get the skin when an animal dies. thats why most leather clothes in the usa are cow leather, bc thats the biggest meat animal here) that its almost impossible to buy anything "leather" that isnt made of plastic that it so fragile and shitty that the very Thread Holding It Together rips the fibers apart. it will last for maybe a year two if youre lucky, and wont biodegrade and was made out of something that isnt naturally occurring in the first place and is one of the biggest causes of pollution globally

i do not care if you personally think nobody should slaughter or eat animals, it is Going to happen anyway. you cannot be so obtuse thst you think making more plastic that causes pollution endless damage to the animals you claim to care about so much is better than omnivorous human beings eating other animals and using their bodies completely.

Also to note? Those farms where they target product is leather, like the alligator farms? They produce the by-product of meat. The corpus material of animals is valuable and in general is never wasted.

When buying leather, there's a tier list of 'how environmentally harmful is this' and it's important to note that even the worst ways of commercially tanning leather are less harmful than the plastic manufacturing process. But if you have the option to choose:

Brain tan is the best of the best and basically impossible to find because it's a labor intensive process. But there is no better way to make soft, durable leather goods that will last for generations.

Biotan/Freetan/Chrome-free tanning, if you can find it, is next best - it's kind of commercial brain tanning where the tanning agents used are various animal and plant extracts.

Veg tanning is where we get the word 'tannin' from, and is a very ancient method right up there with brain tanning. It uses plant extracts exclusively and produces rugged, durable leather - not as soft as brain-tanned leather, which is more suited to garmets - it's good for bags/shoes/straps/saddles/etc.

Chrome tanning is the commonest in industrial tanning and the least environmentally friendly - The process uses trivalent chromium (Cr III) which in small amounts is entirely safe (it's in your multivitamin!) but in industrial amounts can damage watersheds and soil biomes. The process is also fairly water-use intensive. This is the process that makes the 'new leather' smell that you'll experience in a new car interior with real leather, or a lather jacket store. But even this, the least sustainable leather making practice, is WAY less environmentally impactful than the process of making plastic 'leather alternatives'

Leather is an excellent product that will biodegrade within a few years if exposed to the elements but will, if stored in a cool dry place with limited light and oxygen exposure, last for LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

it always confused why everyone would arrive at bilbo’s house separately if they all traveled to the shire together but then i realized. that trick gandalf pulls on beorn. where he has everyone come in slowly instead of all at once. its the same thing hes doing to bilbo.

now the question remains: is this gandalf’s go-to plan when trying to make someone okay with having 13 dwarves in their house, or does he view bilbo and beorn as both uniquely unhinged individuals who need to be handled like a wild animal that could bite at any minute? i need to Know
