I won't stand for the vegan bashing
ತ_ʖತ
You have elevated levels of stress hormone (and deserve it) if you eat animals, btw.
Then WTF did the plants do to you?
They know what they fucking did. They domesticated my species
Hmmm, Greatly lower my risk of heart disease and parasites overall? Allow me to enjoy deep-frying and carbs guiltlessly? Make me feel like I can fight god and win?
Vegans just casually setting up a class system upon which to value one life above others.
Cannibals are the real equalists. They don't discriminate on where their meat comes from and probably eat some veggies with their braised butt.
I respect the life of my vegetables as much as I respect the life of my meat, show me a vegan who says they do likewise and I'll show you a hypocrite.
Sooo when was the last time you had dog?
You mean a form of life that I give better care and affection to than they would receive in the wild? About the same time I had a house plant.
I'll let you guess which one I don't have anymore because I realised I lacked the skills and capacity to care for it adequately. Hint: it wasn't the dog.
When was the last time you made direct statements instead of disingenuous leading questions?
No. The last time you ate dog.
By the way, there are not many dogs in the wild. There wouldn't be many dogs at all if we wouldn't breed them.
Regularly. Yesterday before I went to bed must have been the last time. But I tend to make exceptions when I smell narrow-minded condscending bullshit.
How is your equal respect for vegetables and meat reflected in your daily actions and decisions, also – but not only – considering your diet?
You probably don't eat dog, do you? If not, how is that not hypocritical? The one animal you eat, the other you don't. So much for an equal respect and treatment.
Even if, how do you respect the life of the meat you eat? Do you care for each cow yourself? Do you make sure that they are not bred for efficiency, neither having pain nor experiencing fear, live in absolute freedom until they die a natural death and only then you eat their remains?

I'm vegan for health reasons and I have yet to meat one of the infamous vegans the stereotype portrays. I ask questions, look for recipes, etc, and everyone has been super nice. I think "those vegans" live primarily on Twitter and Reddit.
PS: I've had a working Linux system in daily use since I started back with Red Hat Halloween and I prefer Debían based installs like Pop!_OS and Mint D. Nothing against Arch but I ain't got time to fight the OS as well as my work.
EDIT: The typo stays.
I’ve met one or two. It’s like fine, it’s a major lifestyle change often associated with ethics that sets you aside from most of society. Many folks have a period of a few months to a year or two of being really annoying about shit like that. It happens with all sorts of folks: linux and arch users, freshly out queer people, people getting into polyamory, new converts to religions… frankly atheists and people who just converted to Christianity are the worst about it in my experience. And yeah these people are annoying. You’ve been annoying too I’m sure, we all have, it’s part of being a person and the people being annoying about these things are typically doing so at an age where some variant of that is a common experience
I've been annoying? I'VE BEEN ANNOYING?!? I take offense of your liberal use of the past tense, Captain.
I hear ya though. I guess I've been lucky in my interactions, but the memes make it seem like it's constant and ever present with vegans, and that doesn't match with my experience outside of the Internet.
Surprisingly sane take, I forget sometimes that not everything on the internet is straight cynicism. Ty.
They're also on Lemmy. I haven't been here long, but I've already seen 2.
One is right here in another comment chain, lol
This is very likely my very environmentally influenced view, but I think there was a period of time where being vegan was a trend among the health hipsters, who weren't vegan due to ethics, but because either everyone else was doing it or because they claim it has massive health benefits like they did for paleo, keto or other diets. Those I think could indeed fit that stereotype. Or maybe I'm living in a fairy tale.
I’ll stand for it in your absence.
Part of being vegan is understanding you'll be mocked and criticized for completely unrelated things. Like Bubly sparkling water or blue denim, for example.
Do you do CrossFit™?
I know what you mean, I always sit down first.
Yeah, that's too much.
I eat chicken, btw.
Of course not. With the lack of iron and protein you need to complain while sitting.
-a vegetarian
Don't mock too much, that lack of B12 be sneaking up on us both lol
