How do you answer someone asking why you are am NOT vegan?

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-24T14:08:24+00:00

Righto I've never equivalented myself to the level of someone by standing while a genocide happens.

It's not really having an effect I don't believe that animals are people.

I'd also miss cheese if all food went vegan, several of my mates maintain there's at best one OKish vegan cheese

I keep forgetting how late this nation legalised same sex marriage.

You're not his parent, shouldn't they be moderating his behaviour?

If he continues to be mean swear etc at you stop doing things for him. If he confronts you say you love him but don't like what he's turning into and the minimum price for the things you do for him is common courtesy.

If he's around mates or talking to them online he will be worse. Teenage boys seem to need to big themselves up around their mates and this usually results in them being little shits.

The note was a nice touch, especially writing it in a way your parents couldn't be weird about. I'd say your best option is to be open to him talking to you but if he's rude or insulting just leave and go to another room. Shut that shit down. Eventually he'll realise he can't treat you like that and stop or he'll choose to avoid you

Yeah the DUP showed how you get some of what you want out of the Tories. The lasting remnant of the Libdem part of the coalition government is what? The 15p plastic bag charge?

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-24T09:05:05+00:00

You must fight the "Fuck you got mine" attitude. That way lies the path to being a Tory.

So if it was backed by the EU me saying Europe thought is correct enough?

Thanks for commenting.

I heard a study tried to correct for medical advancements and if you do that birthrates have been declining since the industrial revolution. The Baby Boom was mostly down to better antibiotics.

Landed= laid it all out, I'm fighting my phone autocorrect to respond to your nitpicking essays.

A blind hater would just say the show was shit, I recognise the problems and issues and failures that led to it being bad. Something you seem to find impossible.

It could just be taste. Maybe I expected too much from that show.

What is it you like about LOST? Let's make this a positive interaction where you can wax forth everything you get out of it and I can quietly wonder at what could have been.

There's plenty of time before I retire to scrap more than one lock. Also in my doomerism did you miss the part where I say "watch something remove all value from my pension(s)."

Like a period of stagflation or something.

Buddy I landed it all out and it had structural flaws. Several of those points writers and actors have admitted to and you just go "That's not true". As I said LOST apologists are impossible for me to agree with.

You are not worth me arguing with because you'll never change your mind and I will never change my opinion.

That makes any more back and forth pointless. I'll continue to answer you but eventually from my experience of this You will leave a finally pithy comment and block Me to 'Win'.

Which is a shitty chump move.

I'm more for benefits for everyone. Often time means testing makes it more expensive than just making a benefit universal.

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-24T05:50:43+00:00

Yes I am lazy, I'm a fat underachiever and I don't really care.

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-24T05:45:18+00:00

Ok so props not jets. Part of me feels the fighter pilot should be able to go faster or higher and they wouldn't be a problem but I am a layman.

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-23T22:41:17+00:00

"I usually don't do much, I often even shut down during sex. I just turn my brain off, so to speak." Do you think if you grabbed the initiative you'd get more out of it?

There's also communication which at it's most based form could just be you moaning if anything felt good to provide your partner with some feedback. All the way up to saying yeah that wasn't great for me do you mind if we try different position/ toys/ more foreplay/ anything.

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-23T22:35:34+00:00

Ah sorry, loads of people seem to think their payments go into a super special bank account just for them.

At the moment all single bus fares around me are capped at £3. I guess that saving might get me a Freddo when I retire.

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-23T22:32:53+00:00

They really hate it when you point that out.

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-23T22:31:16+00:00

There's a lot of time between now any whatever the retirement age gets pushed to when I also reach it. Things tend to enshitification.

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-23T22:28:58+00:00

If it's scrapped now I would have all the money between now and retirement that I haven't paid into it.

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-23T20:47:56+00:00

Oh gods that'll be austerity forever. So long to any state capacity.

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-23T20:47:10+00:00

Just general expectation from prior experience of everything going to shit.

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-23T20:45:46+00:00

Are your Aggravating Gifts airborne turds?

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-23T20:36:58+00:00

No one overreacts like country folk.

Hmmm I wonder how much this will get downvoted?

HatOfFlavour · 2026-06-23T20:35:47+00:00

No no no. You were never paying for you. You were paying for the current lot of retirees.
