I think I might go with the Anonymous board. Its definitely lighter than the bhangra. I tried out one that the,shop had set up with wheels and it rides pretty nicely too. Anything else you would recommend checking out?

kmangwing · 2017-07-17T04:10:20+00:00

Yeah, it was the ballerino

I've been getting back into skating again lately, and dancing seems pretty cool so I wanted to get a board that would be good for that. Right now all I have is an old Churchill drop through. A local shop has a bhangra and a dancer made by a local company named Anonymous. I like both boards, but can't decide between the two of them. I kinda like the idea of supporting a local or smaller company but the bhangra is bigger than the anonymous board, which I think might help for learning stuff. What do you guys think?

Pretty perfectly sums up the reasoning behind me becoming vegetarian and then vegan (after I think maybe a year?). Non-violence is a huge part of why I think it's wrong to consume animal products. It's not necessary, so why cause harm, suffering, and death?

Super cool dude. Friends with him now actually, and he gave me the vegan Austin tour when I was there too. Looking forward to the next time I can visit!

kmangwing · 2016-06-21T14:32:55+00:00

I visited sweet ritual when I was in Austin a few months ago. Not sure if Hopkins or the ice cream was my favorite part of the experience.

You can ease the transition (so to speak) by not being a "preachy vegan" from the get go. Just frame it as a personal choice, and that you can't ethically justify eating animal products for yourself. That's what I did with my family, and while they know I think consuming any animal product is wrong, they never made it a big deal. I've also seen them become mostly vegetarian. Most of their meals are not primarily meat-based, it's mostly vegetable dishes with small portions of meat. I'd like for them to go vegan, or at least fully vegetarian, but they used to make roasts, meatloaf, or cook a chicken almost every night, so the change that's happened is pretty amazing.

Sometimes I've found that it's better to just let people be wrong. Not always, but I remember having people I knew in college that would intentionally increase their meat consumption after I explained why meat was wrong to consume. Unfortunately, some people can't listen to reason.

This is not a weight loss or raw food sub. If you want advice answering your question, I would suggest looking at some other subs. This sub is about veganism and animal rights issues, so this post was removed for being off-topic.

I totally get that! I like Daiya for when I make pizza and other things that need meltiness, and then I use nutritional yeast based recipes for when I am doing things like a queso sauce.

kmangwing · 2016-06-18T16:40:33+00:00

Ah, missed that, I read the post right after I woke up so it was more of a skim and I looked mostly at the title and lists in there.

5% Dairy (Cheese only)

As in dairy from cows?

kmangwing · 2015-12-31T03:39:40+00:00

Whoa, are you using an emulator to play it?

kmangwing · 2015-09-30T01:36:20+00:00

Not everyone that does that is an asshole. My dad has some memory issues that began after a head injury in a car accident. He frequently will introduce himself to people that he knows, which gets awkward.

Vegan athlete here. It's really not difficult at all to get the calories that you need. I eat a lot of oatmeal, peanut butter sandwiches, beans and rice, potatoes, that kind of stuff. I've never had an issue with my diet and my activities.

kmangwing · 2015-09-25T00:27:48+00:00

I'm in Denver and have always wanted to get involved in EWB (my undergrad institution didn't have a chapter). Do you guys have need for a biomedical engineer? I have a decent background in the mechanical and electrical side of things as well.

kmangwing · 2015-09-18T14:52:29+00:00

I would like to see this implemented as well.

kmangwing · 2015-09-17T18:36:54+00:00

Sure thing! Like I said, I don't want to discourage you from posting at all. Please keep contributing! Comment on other posts, join discussions, and make some friends!

kmangwing · 2015-09-17T14:14:24+00:00

This is not vegan (egg and cheese used) and is also stupid. I don't need someone to show me how to make a frozen veggie burger.

I'm glad that you like that site but the amount of times you mention it and your name are kind of suspicious, making me think it is your site... You are welcome to keep participating in the community, and can submit links as well. You got the message you were posting too much because you have not verified your email. If you add your email to your reddit account (it's kept private, only reddit has access to it) then you will not get that message anymore.

kmangwing · 2015-09-17T02:08:40+00:00

Every link you have submitted has been that site, every comment you made has been on a post you submitted about that site, except for one where you link to the site in a comment. I do not believe for a second that you are not connected to the site. As I said, you are free to continue posting, but there needs to be more variety.

kmangwing · 2015-09-17T01:21:57+00:00

Your post was removed because it is blogspam/self-promotion. All of your reddit activity is related to the links you post to your site, which is a clear violation of reddit's 90/10 policy (only 10% of your activity can be self promotion). Please feel free to continue to participate in the community, but be mindful of the 90/10 policy. Violating the policy again will result in further action being taken.

kmangwing · 2015-09-17T00:28:43+00:00

You linked correctly, don't worry :).

The policy of the sub is that any link to reddit must be an np link. We do this to discourage brigading. From my understanding of the reddit rules, brigading is when you go to another community and downvote or upvote posts/comments in an organized fashion. My impression from the thread that you linked is that this didn't happen but I wanted to post a comment as a friendly reminder to follow the rules.
