You know, vegans get a lot of hate for telling everyone they are vegan, yet I’ve never heard a vegan doing this and yelling about veganism. It’s almost like racists are so much more violent and outspoken about it, including in kid’s game lobbies and now with fucking vacuums. I have never seen vegans yell “VEGAN!” online repeatedly… and even if they did, that’s substantially less harm anyway than racist bullshit. I never want to hear people complain about vegans talking about veganism ever again when this shit is part of everyday society and not surprising at all.
And ps I am not vegan.
I realize the irony in this opening statement, but as someone who’s been vegan a long time and never brings it up unless directly asked I can say that this people who are vocal about it tend to be the new vegans who are gonna drop out in six months because they just so happened to have a 1 in 6,000,000,000 person medical condition that makes it literally impossible for them to be vegan, which they discovered for the first time right after bbq season started back up. Definitely not just because they have a different outlook now, no sir.
How do you not bring it up before planning food out with someone? Sorry, I don’t believe you. Im forced to bring it up very early in relationships because food comes up pretty darn fast, even for casual acquaintances
Well a couple things, if possible I call ahead and see if anything can be modified, and if not I find some reason to bail. If it’s spontaneous, I benefit from, frankly, being a pretty heteronormative man so I can always manage to get beer and a large side. I really only have to let people know ahead of time if it’s some kind of work event, in which case the staff member in charge of us attending the event handles it but I’m not in that situation a lot. Of course, most of the time I’m eating it with people who already know me well so they already know I’m vegan.
TBF I know only one militant vegan and she’s been outspoken about it for years. I eat meat, I either just tell her to fuck off or ask if all her cocaine is ethically sourced. She’s used to it.
But yeah, all the other vegans I’ve known are really chill.
Again, even if a vegan is spamming the word “vegan” in public spaces (which they almost never do like people joke about), it’s leagues better than racist slurs which society has just like, tolerated? In public spaces as being inevitable for several years, notably online and in games
Thanks a lot for the inspiration. Now I wanna hack into all IOT devices that have a camera and microphone. Maybe even speakers, so I can blackmail the owners immediately after filming their intercourse. 👹
He’ll also have to come and help, unless he just wants to watch you go at it alone.
Why is it always “if you want my sex tape” and not “if you want to make a sex tape”
Ok honestly that was funnier in my head, but maybe someone else can see where I was going and make it funny
“Why do they have to make everything about race? It’s like they’re obsessed. Nobody cares what color you are!”
Also these racists: “Hmm. You know what’s a good use of my time? Going out of my way to hack a Roomba so I can call my neighbor the N-Word.”
Maybe I’m giving them too much credit, but if you want to bring national news attention to poor security without doing real damage, racial slurs are probably the most sure fire way to do so.
I want them wifi connected at least so I can set my own schedule or control with Home Assistant. They don’t need to connect to any server except my own.
I would think Bluetooth or plugging it in once in a blue moon for a firmware/schedule update like the good old days would be far preferable to anything that could connect them to the internet. I’d much rather air gapped and slightly inconvenient than internet enabled spyware all over my house.
The first time I heard this story, I immediately thought of what this guy did. I think it would’ve been an awesome addon if it was just cursing, and not doing racial slurs or spying.
Me in shop: I want to buy a robot vacuum cleaner. Do you have one of those sweary ones?
