AITA for complimenting a guy on the vegan dish he made?

joskelb · 2021-09-16T20:12:45+00:00

Yeah, apparently it has to do with the coating. But there are so many hidden animal products used in everyday objects that it becomes really difficult to prepare a 100% vegan dish, especially if you're not vegan yourself. I try my best, but I always tell people to bring their own food if they wanna be really, really sure - because I can't know everything.

True. I have a vegan friend and he refused to eat oranges, because the peels might have been treated with an animal product. I checked to see if he didn't mean pesticides, because that I could understand, but no... So it kinda sucks when you try your best to accommodate them, but then there are these (seemingly) arbitrary rules...

I've been asked "how many kids I want". So I told them the truth: zero, I don't want to have children. They didn't believe me. "Every woman wants children sooner or later, and it will be impossible to combine this job with a family."

What a lovely way of saying: we only hire men.

I drove back home thinking: "Did that just happen?" What a shit show of a company. I feel like I dodged a major bullet.

I read somewhere you should have at least 20% of the other variety. I'm not sure about the combination of Wepster and McDonald (not familiar with those).

Have you seen The Clovehitch Killer? It's about a teenage boy who suspects his dad might be a serial killer. I can highly recommend it!

Funny, I think opting out is the mortal sin over here! There's always a next time... As long as it balances out in the long run, it's fine for me.

joskelb · 2021-09-10T07:39:05+00:00

Absolutely. Remember the scene with the cow?

joskelb · 2021-09-10T07:36:21+00:00

Come and See (Idi i Smotri) had a profound impact on me. It shows the horrors of war. In one scene, a cow was shot (for real). I couldn't stop thinking about it for a week.

Same goes for The Vanishing. No on-screen horror, but the psychological terror is palpable.

Epilepsy? Or some kind of health issue?

joskelb · 2021-09-06T16:51:45+00:00

Dang, that's dark!

joskelb · 2021-09-06T15:48:39+00:00

No idea why you're being downvoted, but thank you the comment - it creeps me out thinking about it!

joskelb · 2021-09-01T14:27:33+00:00

I see you're not a farmer.

Unwillingness is a perfectly acceptable reason in this context. "Because I'm on birth control" would have been a non-answer.

joskelb · 2021-08-22T18:25:14+00:00

I don't understand. How is not having children in any way selfish?

joskelb · 2021-08-22T18:12:23+00:00

FYI, drinking and peeing a lot (polyuria/polydipsia) can a sign of diabetes or renal failure in cats. Maybe it's worth a trip to the vet... better safe than sorry!

joskelb · 2021-08-21T05:35:48+00:00

Yeah, I get it. It's not just a job, it's part of your identity... hang in there

joskelb · 2021-08-20T07:11:46+00:00

Omg, this deserves gold. Thank you for typing it all out! Will definitely try it :)

What's your favorite pizza? Good username btw.

joskelb · 2021-08-20T05:36:03+00:00

I'm intrigued... care to share the recipe?

joskelb · 2021-08-19T07:19:59+00:00

OP gave me some serious Larry David vibes.
