  • If you go about it with curiosity, especially if you focus on recipes instead of ethics, you're probably good. Sharing food is such a big social thing that you get a bit ostracized from when you're vegan, so it truly is nice to share recipes with earnest people like you seem to be.

    Now if only I can figure out vegan meals that would do well in my smoker!

    I've never used a smoker so I'm not quite familiar with the process, but my first instinct would be trying something with seitan. I did find some recipes with just a quick search.

    If you do smoke some seitan, feel free to invite me, I'll bring drinks! :P

  • I've never made anyone become vegan, but a lot of my friends have definitely opened up to incorporating more vegetarian or vegan meals into their diets, which I do count as a small win.

    A friend who used to be very much the meat & potatoes type has recently been texting me excitedly about the new vegan recipes he's been trying out. He still regularly eats meat, but hey, it's something.

  • I've been vegan for nearly ten years, I dread any time the topic comes up with people who aren't also vegan.

    It usually becomes a pointless debate where I either have to heavily self-censor, or end up hurting the feelings of people who eat animal products. It's always the same conversations I've already had hundreds of times, no one's gonna change my mind and I probably won't change theirs either.

  • Inside of me are two wolves. One is an enemy of the state, the other is a people pleaser.

  • Why people would use ChatGPT to ignore reality is beyond me, that's why God invented drugs!

  • It's important to make sure reality is compatible with your hardware.

  • Even ignoring that most people couldn't maintain their cars for shit; people always seem to forget that they're still super dependent on petrol and the oil industry. How is that in any way better than relying on governments to provide public transit?

  • Cops, even ignoring the fact that ACAB, are flawed in that they can't enforce traffic laws everywhere all the time.

    Infrastructure can make a road safe 24/7. And doesn't discriminate nor shoot minorities.

  • Fucking smartphones and their malfunctioning alarms

    I got got by this too many times, so I bought a digital alarm clock at the thrift store, a cheap old thing from the '80s. It reliably blares FM radio at me every morning and I haven't missed an alarm since.

  • "Deep down, I want to be a Cambodian police woman. Is that allowed, or am I being unrealistic?"

    John Cleese on trans people

    (He's definitely an asshole about more than the EU)

  • We all know what people mean by it; they mean "black" but are scared to say it for whatever reason.

    I think criticism of the term "African-American" is valid. Most black people in America today have never been to Africa.

  • No, my mom taught me we should respect the elderly.

  • I have a pretty addictive personality and I thank the stars that I've never enjoyed coke on the handful of occasions I've tried it. It just made me feel overly talkative to the point of being annoying.

  • Doug Ford is Premier of Ontario.

    His brother, Rob Ford, was mayor of Toronto from 2010 to 2014. He passed away in 2016, and he's the one who admitted to smoking crack whilst mayor.

    They're both idiotic conservative assholes and I have no idea how so many people in Ontario support them.

  • Well, no one ever needs computers either.

  • "Women's sport enjoyers" lol

    As if the vast majority of people complaining about trans women in sports aren't the same people who shit over women's leagues for being "inferior"

  • What do you think happens to male chicks in the egg industry? I'll give you a hint, it involves industrial grinders and pink paste.

    Cows produce milk for their young, like all mammals. The "need" to milk them arises from milk production, in which we forcibly impregnate cows and take their young away. You can hardly call something a "need" if it only happens once you purposefully impregnate a cow for its milk and abduct their calves.

    And that's disregarding the atrocious conditions in hatcheries and dairy farms.

    The egg and dairy industries are the meat industry, and honestly anyone who's vegetarian for "ethical" reasons without immediate plans to become vegan are deluding themselves.

  • I was around 20 when I first started browsing trans subreddits "as an ally", and I also made a few jokes to some friends about how "I'm probably non-binary lol".

    I was 23 when I finally actually came to terms with my gender and sexual orientation. Those three years were rough :P
