    Never met a vegan who did that. It’s just that most omnis can’t differentiate between systemic criticism and personal insult.

      In my work, for years they didn’t knew I’m vegan (granted, i work mostly remotely and go to the office one or two weeks every few months, as its in a different city), but once i mentioned why i didn’t grab x item from the cafeteria menu, and just the lentils, i casually mentioned it.

      Now, for some reason, that person that i was with is the one that mention to everyone in almost every conversation that im vegan, almost unprompted, when for some reason somebody is discussing about food.

      I know that the coworker hasn’t been a dick and showed interest when making questions and all, but i don’t really understand why it has to announce that Im vegan if i haven’t do it nor pushed my views onto others coworkers

      As someone that has known many vegans over the years, there are definitely some that make it part of their core personality and make sure everybody knows. Most don’t but some do. Because people are people.

      I’ve met many, most simply aren’t aware.

      It’s funny that you mention most omnis can’t differentiate. Because if you’d shut up about being vegan, there wouldn’t even be a need to differentiate anything.

        If you’d stop making hating vegans your entire personality the rest us normal meat eaters wouldn’t have to clarify how we aren’t one of you.

      People don’t realize how often they bring up their carnism because it’s an unexamined belief. But vegans notice.

        I eat meat and you’re being a twat.

        Veganism is a good cause and we can all learn a thing or two about sustainability from them. Stop acting like they’re out here to take your oh-so-precious meat away from you. Eat a vegetable or two so you can get that turd out of your ass.

          Veganism isn’t about sustainability. Plant-based diets are less harmful to the environment but eating a plant-based diet because you care about climate change has nothing to do with veganism.

          Veganism is a moral philosophy on the treatment of animals. Animals are individuals. Individuals must only be treated as ends, never as means. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence. The animals we create are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection as our own children.

    If a vegan does crossfit, what do they talk about first?

    (Replace any part of this joke with the list above)

    At this point, I think we should officially declare that Arch isn’t Linux. To prevent kids from defaming the overall Linux image.

    To be fair, I never experienced some linux user talking about it randomly. On the other hand, ai users are so annoying! Every time they’re around, they’re asking whether we saw the latest model, which one we like the most (assuming we use, as if it was a rule, and getting shocked or skeptical if we say we don’t), and stuff like that

    if someone is banned from the community why does their post stay up or did they get banned for saying the n word and not the post?

    It wasn’t too difficult to bring it up, since I was terrified about the event and had to prioritize things differently to make room for training. I was also excited to learn new things about nutrition and heart rate zones for example.

    I’m not sure I’ve ever heard anyone bring up Linux or marathons like this, and I’ve only ever known one vegan who would. I’m speaking about IRL conversations. Even when I think back to social media posts, these things are somewhat rare still. But sure, be mad about people’s passions I guess?

    Wow how annoying for you.

    Almost but not quite as annoying as someone who never asks others about themselves and never takes any personal interest in people in their life because they “don’t believe in small talk” cuz they’re just so dang special.

    Ironically, the people who talk about Linux and veganism at inappropriate times the most are folks making this exact joke.
