Couldn’t agree more. If you have a problem with alcohol, you avoid it. If you have a problem with eating meat, you avoid it. If you have a problem with gluten, you avoid it. If you have a problem with certain Lemmy users or instances, guess what? You avoid them.

Doesn’t mean everyone else has to do the same. It’s about taking personal responsibility for your own mental health and peace of mind. This was always allowed, it was part of the design right from the start.

My money was on New Jersey or Florida

Bookmarked and screenshotted.

Bug if true.

No, the truck is his capital. That’s his means of production — presumably, not just of free pizzas in exchange for moving furniture, but even then, every dollar he saves by not having to pay for dinner could go towards paying off his car loan.

On top of that he’s saving on taxes because no money was ever exchanged for this transaction. Everything about this scenario is 100% capitalist.

How do you think Kevin paid for the truck? With pizzas?

I mean… you’re not wrong, but I wouldn’t quite say it like that.

I’ve dated a girl who was very much into it, though she wasn’t a full vegan, just a fairly strict vegetarian, for the same reason you mentioned (i.e. some of their meat replacement products just being ultra high processed food science experiments), and the fact that you can easily eat vegan without eating health (French fries are technically vegan as long as they’re fried in veggie oil).

I’d basically consider it a nerd hobby at this point – I’ve had some very impressive vegan stunt food, like vegan McMuffins that tasted better than the ones from McDonald’s (albeit at 3x the price of course), so I can certainly can’t hate on their dedication to the cause, because that takes a lot of passion.

But yeah, from a practical point of view, most people are likely better off with your recommendation, because it’ll get you at least 90% of the way there without costing you half of your income, and it’ll probably still achieve most goals that vegans are after (better health, less pollution, and improved animal welfare).

And yeah, I get it, it can be quite annoying when you run into a fanatic vegan and they can’t stop chewing your ear off about the supposedly unlimited benefits, but it really isn’t much different than running into a hardcore Trekkie, a conservative Christian, or your average anime fan. Veganism is basically almost a religion, and some people tend to take a bit too far, but you know what? It could be worse, because at least they’re not going to eat you, because that would definitely not be vegan.

I mean, there’s literally a huge jar of it right next to her

Well, perhaps you should look up the original tweet then and contact to author to ask them.

Well, you might be autistic or asexual then (which is totally fine BTW, it just comes with certain limitations)

Perhaps you’re sexually attracted to men

Too late, you are now lobstersexual.

I’d love to IF YOU’D ANSWER MY DMs

BMW drivers deserve this as punishment for all the missed turn signals

THAT DOES NOT NARROW IT DOWN IN THE SLIGHTEST

The only thing that changes in your 30s is that you stop giving a fuck, but that changes everything.
