Is it morally wrong to be non-vegetarian?

I would argue that no, it is not morally wrong per se to be non-vegetarian. Meat consumption is not morally wrong in general, it is just morally wrong in our society. We kill way too many animals to be sustainable and every animal you eat contributes to that. We harm climate and ecosystems to sustain our meat consumption. We hold animals captive and make them hurt and suffer. In this society you can not eat meat in a morally okay way.

whats the political message of Spongebob?

There is never just one political message for an entire TV series. You can go much more granular with this stuff. One blatantly obvious example off the top of my mind is the episode "Squidville". Messages here are "Diversity and differences are good. A life where everyone is the same would be boring and tedious" and "You're not better than other people just because you are different"

So why are Indian curries so popular in the UK? (interest in culinary perspectives).

I mean you pretty much answered your own question. The UK never colonised China to anything even remotely close to the degree they colonised India. Which is also why there's more than 4 times as many people with Indian heritage in the UK than with Chinese heritage. So there's absolutely zero reason why there should be as many Chinese restaurants/dishes in the UK as there are Indian restaurants/dishes.

Nonviolent Change Wins

On the topic of violent vs. non-violent: What this statistic completely fails to take into account is that violent protests on average have much more radical demands/goals. So their demands are much less likely to be met from the start because of the nature of the demand.

1: I'd usually trust "a psychologist and a couple of psychiatrists" over "one support worker". But of course that doesn't automatically mean they are right in your case.

2: I don't generally struggle with eye contact at all. What I do struggle with is continued eye contact, like more than a few seconds long. But regardless of who I'm talking to, because I just get bored looking at their eyes.

‘They tricked me’: Migrants were promised $1,000 to voluntarily leave the US. Some never received it

Everyone in here going like "What did they expect lol?" needs to get their fucking moral compass checked. People in a probably very desperate situation (because for everyone else, $ 1000 wouldn't be enough for this) were scammed by their own goddamn government. Governments are not supposed to do this, and we rely on our governments to do what they say every single day for a lot of things. Blaming the victims for this is wild to me.

You're misinterpreting this imo, I would assume because of a distance to Austrian politics. Austrian governing bodies are very seldomly actually anti-nazi. Instead, they are bringing forth right-wing policies while virtue signalling that "nazism bad".
