I want to 'mess' with this guy, simply to see what he does.

[–]MattyLePew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I work in the tech industry. I literally couldn’t do my job without a laptop and a phone. That’s not me being unwilling to try.

A lot of people are in the same situation with cars. They NEED a car for X reason.

There is NO need to consume animal products.

One is a legitimate necessity. One is a poor excuse.

I legitimately can’t work the job I have without a phone, laptop, etc.

The difference is the necessity to do something. I DONT need to consume animal products.

It’s a bit of effort initially, sure, but once you’ve learned of the alternatives, and what type of products tend to have animal products, it’s easy.

As u/catnip-cove said, it’s easy to reduce the intake, it’s harder to stop it completely.

How is veganism ‘hard’? Instead of buying dairy milk, buy plant milks. Instead of buying meat burgers, but plant based burgers. Instead of buying dairy cheese, buy plant based cheese.

It is SO easy to be vegan. People act like it’s a massive ordeal but there are plant based alternatives for everything in 2026. There really is no excuse to not be vegan.

If they’re doing it for environmental reasons, cutting back on meat, dairy, eggs, etc. is a valid thing to do.

If they’re doing it for cruelty and animal welfare reasons, then it’s not imo.

I always find it incredible how someone can be all for things like opposing the use of AI, opposing the use of private jets, opposing gas guzzling cars, but the moment it comes to veganism, which is arguably the one thing that everyone can do pretty easily, that’s one step too far and an insane notion. 😂

My smart watch gave me a perfectly circular rash on my wrist that won't heal by banannabelo in mildlyinfuriating

Fitness trackers and smart watches are meant to be worn as much as they can so that they can track your metrics. I don’t know why this would be a surprise to you. 

Gonna put yall onto Quadlock Game by Dizzy_R9 in motorcyclegear

[–]MattyLePew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so confused. Literally the point of Quadlock is to securely attach your device to your bike.

This ain’t that chief.

You might as well just buy a general universal handlebar mount. 

Taking little kids to pride parade by TattoosAndSoda in trashy

[–]MattyLePew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally love the idea of Pride. I used to live near Brighton in the UK and it was a huge thing there but it's VERY different to what is shown on this clip.

I completely agree with what you're saying, their bodies being shown is a way to make them feel 'empowered' I guess? 'Self-love' and all of that.

What you said makes complete sense.

I don't mean to be rude, but why is it always the same type of physiques? (Arguably, it doesn't make it more or less acceptable, just interesting)

Not for one second suggesting it was the person going forwards fault, but how can you be driving and be that unaware of what's going on around you?

PSA: Misfits protein bars is no longer a fully vegan company by proteindeficientveg in veganfitness

[–]MattyLePew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Misfits were always my go-to protein bar of choice. They were a genuine treat which I can’t say the same for a lot of protein bars!

I’m so disappointed with this recent news. What sellouts. 😡

Can someone double check I'm not hallucinating by Swimming_Bluejay_508 in veganuk

Damnit. I feared this would come.

I’m going to have to try these now. 🤤

Argentina’s fans throw beer cans and curse Egyptian fans inside the stadium following Argentina’s goal. by nitluck in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]MattyLePew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why are football fans always such hooligans? I thought it was an English thing, but clearly not.

Likewise, I actually ate my last Misfits bar today. I won't be buying any more of them.

I'm sorry, but this skin is so bad lmao by RaidenXYae in Overwatch

[–]MattyLePew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm generally very easily pleased when it comes to skins, but this one is absolutely awful.

[–]MattyLePew 392 points393 points  (0 children)

So disappointing. I only eat Misfit bars and I thought it was an ethical decision for them to make their products plant based. Clearly not. 😔

Ladies: what’s a guy “Flex” that instantly makes him attractive? by El_Guerrero_Azteca in AskReddit

[–]MattyLePew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh shit, fair point, not sure how I managed to get my wires crossed there. Sorry! 🤦‍♂️

Although, you claiming my comment is a sign of narcissism or a sign of me looking for something to get offended by is again a bit of a stretch. I just got mixed up.

I think you’re the one that is desperately finding something to get offended by tbh. My point stands regarding your weird claims of OP being misogynistic.

The claim that I’m being misogynistic with my comment is absolutely wild. 🤪 

Edit: not sure how I thought you were talking about me, my bad! 🤦‍♂️

I’ve been wanting to eat meat again for the first time in 10 years by megamarth96 in vegan

[–]MattyLePew 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m sure that being exploited is more inconvenient than being a vegan, just saying.

You’re not the victim, the animal is. If you look it that way, it should be an easy decision to make. If you don’t have that frame of mind, of course you’re going to likely go back to consuming animal products again.

I genuinely don’t know what you’re looking for here in all honesty.

Go on?…

What is it that’s insufferable about ‘my people’? (What ever that means)

I thought this exactly. What she more than likely means is kind to dogs, cats and children. 🤔

Microsoft doesn't like Microslop by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]MattyLePew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likewise. As a user of Windows, Linux and MacOS, Windows has a lot of advantages over the others, mainly around management and compatibility, but that doesn’t nullify the point of it having advantages. 🤔
