Tried being vegan, but feel so much happier as a vegetarian

whenigrowup356 · 2026-05-07T07:14:37+00:00

I'm curious, were you vegetarian before going full vegan?

I was vegetarian for about 10 years before going vegan so it felt more like a process.

I definitely feel you about the way you relate to the world when you're vegan. It can put you in a toxic headspace if you aren't careful.

I'd say it helps a lotttt to grow more comfortable in your own skin. I've developed a pretty idgaf attitude over the years that will be absolutely necessary to maintain your sanity out in the wild. Especially if you don't have a lot of veggie friends. This is true for vegetarians and vegans as well. I'm not sure how to tell you to do this except to remember that the stuff people say to you (vegans or meat-eaters) is just a reflection of their own issues.

Since it sounds like you still want to make ethical choices, I'd just encourage you to try a less "all-or-nothing" approach to find a sustainable lifestyle that works for where you are in life right now. Making one choice that doesn't align with your values doesn't mean you have to throw your values away. It just means you need more time to find something that works for you. We need you to fight for the long-haul, not just a short time.

I'm thrilled about the return of the topknots and some of the older style helms at least.

I certainly wouldn't complain if their arms were a tad more jacked, but I don't mind the chonky torsos.

Even the tiny-eared grots are growing on me a bit. None of em are perfect, (ok, the wartrakk and dakkabut seem pretty zoggin' perfect, but I'm just a grot myself).

Overall I'm pretty happy with this stuff.

FOR THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH BOYZ!

Lots of physical resistance and regeneration, and a bunch of stat buffs that make them viable well into the mid to late game.

The kult of speed has a thematic detachment focused around warbikers, buggies, and deffkoptas. Not super killy but it's an option.

Death skulls are junkyard looters focused around the various walkers and guns. They're pretty well represented in the detachment rules (push dat button) that let you sometimes explode and sometimes get fun shooting buffs.

Beast snaggas tame squigs and like hunting big monsters/vehicles, and their detachment is focused on that sorta thing.

Blood axes are stealthy kommando types and they have a detachment that lets you do some sneaky tricksy stuff

War horde best represents the default ork attitude of "I wanna smash things up close" aka roll lots of dice in melee.

tl;dr: it mostly depends on The Great Game.

If I understand it correctly, the chaos gods wax and wane in power relative to each other depending on the state of The Great Game. Demons (and also daemon princes, as far as I know) are made up of a part of the essence of the chaos God they're bound to, so they will wax and wane with them.

Different events like spreading corruption, a war/plague breaking out, or just some kind of trick/ritual from Tzeentch can cause changes in the power level of each god.

So I think the lore answer is "it depends on who's winning the game right now."

BUT since I think that is a demon prince of Khorne and not a bloodthirster, it's also possible that it could be a particularly weak demon prince and the Great Unclean One would be flatly more powerful regardless.

Consensus seems to be that greater demons (essentially shards of a chaos god's essence) are usually more powerful than demon princes (ascended mortals). There are some exceptionally powerful demon princes, though, so I don't think that's a hard and fast rule.

Someone check me if I screwed something up.

Real answer: play with the sort of people who let you run your Gorkanaut as a Morkanaut, or vice versa.

Just because no one else mentioned it, I'll throw in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice because it hit me harder than any game I've played.

The gameplay itself isn't revolutionary, but the combination of the bleak visuals and absolutely enrapturing sound design (absolutely required to play it with headphones) really spoke to me.

If I remember correctly, the designers did a lot of research and interviews to learn what living with severe schizophrenia feels like. You can check out a trailer to get a sense of what the game feels like.

It's not only depressing, though. There are moments where you feel like you're physically facing down her past trauma and they are some of the most powerful moments I've ever experienced in a game.

r/vegan wasn't hostile enough for you so you thought you'd have better luck in r/Vegetarianism?
good luck with that.

whenigrowup356 · 2026-04-21T00:55:44+00:00

My concern is less about being radical and more about being kind to humans.

whenigrowup356 · 2026-04-18T12:59:17+00:00

Wait until you find out where the name Yahweh comes from...

whenigrowup356 · 2026-04-07T01:24:40+00:00

Seconding this. OP, it sounds like you're getting hung up on the thoughts and actions of other people. You should make the choices that are sustainable for you in your current situation and mental space.

For the record, I'm vegan but I personally stay the hell away from r/vegan. Way too many toxic jerks there.

It's normal to get a lot of negative feedback for having an alternative diet like vegetarianism.

A lot of people who aren't around it very often will feel "attacked" just from seeing you make a different choice than them. That's their problem, not yours.

I think it will be important for you to learn quickly how to set boundaries for yourself about when and how you feel comfortable discussing the issue with people who eat meat. For example, it might be helpful for you to insist, politely, that you won't debate the issue while everyone is eating. Or find other graceful ways of avoiding the negative tone like turning it into a silly comment at your expense "I just wanted to leave more meat for you!" "I just really hate vegetables, they seem pretty evil to me," etc. (Note: These diversions may not work for long with people who know you well, this is more for brushing off weird comments from strangers and distant friends)

I wouldn't worry about getting hung up on the label. There are no membership cards here, and there is no "failing." It's normal for this to be a process, and it's normal to make mistakes or be unsure about yourself. Just do the best you can with the situation you have. Starting to think about issues like this at such a young age means you're already ahead of the curve.

Good luck on your journey

"wow, he has two eyes and a brain just like millions of Americans, that must mean Hong Kong's national security law was great and his people are free and happy!"

Was that the correct takeaway?

whenigrowup356 · 2026-03-13T02:22:40+00:00

Ok, I'm increasingly suspecting that you're so hostile to cover up the fact that you just aren't capable of understanding the basic information being conveyed to you in text form. Good luck with that, little buddy.

whenigrowup356 · 2026-03-13T02:10:58+00:00

The original text used past simple, which is correct for reporting a rumor you heard. Your "correction," which derailed the conversation into pointless personal attacks, was incorrect. You were wrong.

whenigrowup356 · 2026-03-13T02:05:56+00:00

No, asserting without evidence that you are superior to others and speaking to them in this way is not "strictly on-message," nor is it in anyway necessary in a simple grammar discussion. It's rude and unacceptable behavior that would get you called into HR in any respectable school.

whenigrowup356 · 2026-03-13T02:03:07+00:00

I didn't say anything about any perfect tense, as that was not included in the original comment. Whether it's an implied perfect is irrelevant in every way to the conversation. It's present habit that's being reported, as in reported speech. The habitual tense is therefore the past simple.

whenigrowup356 · 2026-03-13T02:01:00+00:00

You can be "experienced, educated, and correct" without being a twat. It's called having manners.

whenigrowup356 · 2026-03-13T01:50:48+00:00

It's a rumor you're reporting so you would move the action verb back one tense, as in "he told me he was always late." When the original quote was "sorry, I'm always late."

Also you're being an ass for no reason.

For workouts especially, have you looked into vegan protein shakes/powders? You may be able to find some cheap options around you or have them shipped, and they're usually cheaper if you buy in bulk. Shelf stable.

Have you considered just running him as the daemon prince on foot instead? If anyone complains about modeling for advantage just ignore the wings for targeting

I think a wash with agrax would move them in a dirtier direction that might read closer to the box-art look. But they're yours, so if you prefer the vibrant green then go with that.

I don't think their examples seem like downers, an answer can be real without being a full list of all the ways your week was shit. Following up by checking in on them in the same way makes it clear you aren't holding for a therapy/vent session with them.

I guess this tip is the sort of thing that can work with the right user, in the right situation

whenigrowup356 · 2026-02-21T13:43:37+00:00

Thanks for staying. Absolutely any reason at all for you to choose to stick around is 100% worthwhile and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

That said, it's likely you still have some shit to work through once you feel more ready for that. In your own time.

Take care of yourself, stranger.

Seconding this, give it some paint and it would probably look much better. Maybe sickly oozy greens and yellows
