  • I almost felt like I was crushing him a bit myself while reading that. Felt good.

  • You sound like a person with common sense, that's exactly what we need. If we draw parallels to people's approach to religion, I'd say this approach to vegetarianism is like a Scandinavian moderate Protestant. "My belief is my business, and I'll keep conversations with God in a private channel". My impression of vegans is better compared to Jehovah's Witness or a fundamentalist Baptist group. "Because you don't follow my way of life, there must be something wrong with you". I eat meat, but not very large amounts. Both because I know it's not good for my health, and also because I know that overconsumption is bad for the environment. In a regular week, my family has maybe a couple of meat meals (normally with a lot of veggies mixed in, since we mostly cook Asian food), a couple of fish meals and a couple of vegetarian meals. We love cooking curries, so the vegetarian bit is normally pretty easy. I don't feel that I'm part of a problem by having a lifestyle like this. We enjoy everything in moderation, and years normally pass between the times I sit down with a steak dinner. I definitely think that things would improve a lot if the industrialised, profit-first factory farming would go away, and would like to see smaller local farms be able to provide instead.

  • This is my boss' standard comment when he sees my lunch.

  • I consider vegetarians to follow a lifestyle and vegans to follow an ideology. The reason I have that impression is that in my experience, as you say, vegetarians just want to be left in peace, don't want to eat meat and generally don't mind other people's preferences. My experience with vegans (of which there have been many) is that there has been a clear need to seek conflict, a superiority complex and an evangelist mindset where those poor non-vegan souls need to be shown the way. I have never met a vegetarian or a meat-water who acts in such a manner. I even experienced a house-guest once who in a very overly shocked manner made comments about a photo of a deer I had hung in the guest room. This was an invasion of the deer's privacy.

  • Easiest way to spot a vegan is when they constantly tell every single person around them in the loudest, most obnoxious way possible. A ridiculous ideology.

  • Dude, nsfw tag

  • Oh my, don't tread on this snake, he scaaary. So how far have you gotten on your "make the world a better place"-project? Do tell.

  • I don't think he's as dumb as he seems in some videos. His persona and mannerisms are very much a pan-Scandinavian thing. To me it's a throwback to the early 00's, when we filled our brains with plenty of Jackass, Blink 182 and Eric Cartman.

  • You mean voicing their opinion and trying to get it across to as many people as possible?

    Tell me, what did you do today?

  • The teleprompters are just for show so that it looks like he can read

  • You halfway answered your own question there. Just like in games and movies, they are lazily leaning on nostalgia in the hopes that it will magically generate some money.

  • This in the middle of a diaper explosion crisis is absolutely infuriating.

  • Disconnect completely and detox regularly - preferably for several days or even weeks at a time. It can do wonders for general well-being.

  • I was about to chime in "especially don't post nudes", but immediately realised that you don't even need to do that anymore for someone to ruin your life. They only need your face, that's it.

  • Not everyone is wired to be able to follow your advice. When people start making personal attacks against others in online discussions, such insults can reaffirm doubts and insecurities already present in the person on the receiving end (not to mention trauma). I would never place the burden of responsibility on the one being attacked in this way - the responsibility lies solely with the bullies to change their act and with the community to speak out against them.

  • If it's an African one. Not sure about the European one if we're talking young coconuts, those things are heavy.

  • Oh, most definitely. They have teams of people with degrees in psychology for this exact purpose.

  • Remember, things got this shitty because most people were fine with Big Tech gradually making things shittier. I look back and realize I've been waiting for the One Enormous Dealbreaker for over a decade, but consumers keep moving the red line.

  • How the fuck did you get me to read that whole thing? Bravo!
