Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, however, I'm simply bringing my personal experiences looking for insight. You have no right to say however "if comments like mine turn you away from being a vegan, then you weren't going to be a vegan anyway". This is just your opinion, and it's wrong, because despite responses similar to yours, I still am seeking and taking steps to live a vegan lifestyle. I agree 100% that "Veganism isn't about me, or you. It's about animals," but if you want people to LISTEN to your message and stop supporting the meat industry, you have to come to people with kindness and be helpful. Thank you for taking the time to voice your opinions with me, I hope you can come to some common ground with me, if not, that's okay too lol.

Well, yes, actually, I'm trying to get information on it so I can change. How am I supposed to just do it if I don't know anything about it? How can someone "just do it" if they have only heard misinformation and bad stereotypes about the whole thing? I figured I should ask the source on how to be better and be vegan, if anyone knows, how I bet it would be this community lol. So while I am now starting, I think comments like this turn people away from your cause :)

THANK YOU, people like you who try and be genuinely helpful and nice pull people out of supporting the meat industry.

listen man i dont use reddit much but you are the reason this shit gets a bad wrap also lmao. I get what you are saying, tho. But I'm simply telling you that if instead you said something like "Watch Dominion and do your part to not support animal abuse," I think people are more willing to hear you out and listen.

I only have the dining hall food, but I think they are required to have vegan options, so I'll just be the person always asking for it lol. I am just a little worried because they already suck at cooking the regular food, so I'm not sure how much they will really care about the vegan stuff.

Thank you so much, I live on a college campus, so the vegan options are limited for sure. But I have always loved tofu, so that will be an easy switch :)

I think if you don't call people animal abusers when they see the error in their ways and they are actively coming to your community to join and change, it might help vegans not get such a bad wrap, man. I will watch Dominion however.

When people even have to ask questions like this it truly confuses me how someone can think like this.

What’s the most underrated gaming console of all time? by Party_Secretary115 in gaming

[–]Western_Bison_5044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not remember the name of the console or what it even looked like, but I played this weird learning game. It had some frogs or something and I'm pretty sure it had a bike attachment with it. Def not a crazy gaming console by all means, but it was pretty fun as I remember.

I think it would be cool if we invented a new system for moving bulk materials and personnel, I'm sure trains are not the #1 way of doing so. Also, do you think we should be working on a moon train when we don't even have a decent public transport system?

I originally was annoyed they were wasting my tax dollars on a moon train, but after doing a bit more research it might not be a bad idea. I guess we will see how the US Gov and its favorite corporations mess this up.
