  • On their page it says: "## Ascensio System SIA - home of the ONLYOFFICE

    ONLYOFFICE is a project developed by experienced IT experts from Ascensio System SIA, leading IT company with headquarters in Riga, Latvia. Originally ONLYOFFICE was designed for internal team collaboration.

    Hmm…you seem to be at least partially right.

    “In 2009, a group of software developers from Ascensio System SIA (Latvian-based) and New Communication Technologies (Russian-based) launched a project called TeamLab, a platform for internal team collaboration.[32]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyOffice





  • Well… It depends.

    Was it truly deliberate, as in “I want to poison this dog, so that it dies”? If yes, then there is hard to forgive, maybe not possible. The only way would be if they reported themself to the police and offered a sincere apology, and then I would not let them near my dog as long as it lives. But could maybe forgive in time if they did all that.

    Deliberate is also not black and white. Were they negligent? As in knew that dogs can’t really have onions, but did fed them food with just a little bit of onion in it, thinking it would be fine? Negligence can be forgiven, but only with a sincere apology.

    I would forgive them if it was not deliberate at all. Even with a pretty bad apology.

    If this person is important in your life, or are closely related, I would explain to them that the apology did not feel sincere, and that you consider it hard to forgive. Ask that they try again.

    Also, do forgive them for your own sake, no reason to be angry in the long term, but you don’t have to trust them. Edit: you don’t have to tell them that you forgive them.

    If it was a child that did this everything is very different. The answer assumed a person 18-20+

    That’s my take.






  • It’s a compromise for sure, and not entirely consistent with the values of a vegan / vegetarian.

    I wanted to reduce my meat and animal product consumption and it removed most of the social friction. The constant need to tell hosts of social gatherings of my preferences. I did not have to constantly hear whining from my grandmother about how they ate in the old days, and how we “city-folk” are.

    I am currently a meat eater, but try to not eat meat too often. I would not consider myself a flexitarian, but eat way less than before.


  • I have attempted being ovo lacto vegetarian in the past, flexitarian and pescitarian, but never vegan.

    My experience is that your motivation for not eating meat is why people care. If you do it for ethical or environmental reasons and not health ones. Then people will feel that you are thinking that you are superior to them.

    Health one is the most accepted reason, because it is not an “attack” on someones values. Yes, it is ridiculous that people feel this way.

    However it is more work having guests that have special dietary needs, and vegans and vegetarians are choosing it. People with allergies or religious reasons are not.

    My experience is that the easiest way to get the most results with the least friction socially is to be a flexitarian. Eat vegetarian / vegan when you are cooking or buying food, and eat the meat and animal products you are served. That reduces your consumption of animal meat and products by 80-95% without the hassle.

    I managed to be a flexitarian for 2-3 years, but gave up. Vegetarian I only managed like a month or two.

    Also remember B12!
