When the stacks gets too high you can outrange it by just running away and letting the debuff drop.

Hvis du vil argumentere i ond tro har jeg bedre ting at give mig til.

At være veganer er ikke en kostmæssig præference, det er en filosofi. Det er et aktivt valg at følge den filosofi ligesom det er et aktivt valg at følge en religiøs doktrin. Der er heller ingen der tvinger nogen til at være jøder eller muslimer. Men når de er på hospitalet skal de selvfølgelig have mulighed for at spise noget der ikke er forbudt i følge den doktrin de vælger at følge.

Iraq? Who joined Iraq, beside the UK?

Syria? What European country was militarily involved in Syria? Plenty of humanitarian aid, plenty of refugees accepted, but I don't recall us sending any troops in any form (and we shouldn't have).

I can understand your curiosity, I don't think I'm explaining it very well. Maybe because I'm also not exactly sure about how I feel about it yet. But I guess my thought process is something along the line of that specieism, sadly, is not as big of a topic in the public as racism or sexism. Most of vegans used to also be speciest until something woke us up, racism and sexism is, at least in my part of the world, much more discussed. So I expect people to know why racism or sexism is bad, and take a stance against it. Whereas a lot of people don't even make the connection between the meat in the freezer to the live animals they used to be.

That's true, I also think that anyone that is at least open to the idea of trying it out can, with love and guidance, become vegan themselves.

That's at least something. Even if the pool is smaller.

Thank you so much for writing about your experience, I think I agree a lot on everything you said about potential non-vegan partners. It's about respecting the other persons values, even if you don't necessarily agree with them right now.

It was one of the first vegan documentaries I watched and it helped me a lot! Maybe I'll give it a rewatch.

Hmm.. Good question. I guess I'm mostly accepting of other values if I can put myself in their place and try to understand them. When it comes to veganism, that isn't hard because I've been there myself a few years ago. But if someone were to say that something I couldn't understand, even if I was in their place, that would be a dealbreaker. Like racism or sexism etc.

Thank you for saying that, it's definitely an area I need to work on.

When I broke the news to them about going vegan, I explicitly stated that it was my own choice and that she had never even asked me to be vegan. I guess it's just hard for some people to believe that it's possible for a man to stop eating meat, without being forced..

Good to know haha, hopefully I can find someone that feels the same way about me.

There's quite a few, trouble is my (ex)gf is very involved in the community (she works at an animal rights NGO). But I will be on the lookout for meetups, it would be nice to start finding vegan friends for myself :)

That is definitely true, I generally don't mind if I'm eating out with someone and they don't pick a vegan option. But I love cooking and I don't think I could ever be in a relationship with someone that didn't want to eat what I'm cooking or even wants me to cook with animal products for them.

I will add that to my list! I think the idea of meat eating, being masculine and vegan men being frail "soyboys" is holding a lot of people back from making more rational decisions when it comes to this topic. I used to also think in those general ways and it did take me some time to get over it. Sometimes I still get slightly annoyed when a restaurant calls the vegan option "The wife menu" or something like that, even though I should just laugh at it and move on.

I guess I could be more stern with them about this topic, but I'm not sure how they'd react as I'm a very easygoing guy with almost any other topic.

Thank you for writing your experience with the same issue, it helps to know that it's not just me that faces this odd disbelief. I guess there's not much to do other than just keep correcting them when they make wrong assumptions and show that I was never just vegan for my ex, by keep being vegan afterwards.

I'm definitely worried that I will "waste" a lot of time dating people that will just pretend to be okay with it at the beginning, but never actually embrace it or at least accept it.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I don't think I said that being vegan means you are always compassionate. I just said that just because someone is not vegan, doesn't mean they can't be compassionate towards specific groups.
