No one should fund this shit, shut it all down

This isn't vegan related but was wondering if anyone here has read "A History of Modern Iran" by Ervand Abrahamian and could share some thoughts on it? Saw this book get recommended over on Lemmygrad a while ago and have read the first couple of chapters so far.

I had an account on .world a long while ago now and pissing off the anti-vegan trolls was something I occasionally loved to indulge in.

I considered it an "everyone wins" situation: I get to have a laugh, the trolls get to interact with another person (unlike the real world) and a lot of the bystanders get to see just how pathetic they are.

That said I understand how it gets old fairly quickly when you have to constantly deal with that shit as a mod on a vegan community. I'm genuinely grateful to hamid, Potato, and the other mods/admins here for not only setting this place up but taking care of it, and it genuinely sucks that there's a loud group of people who really can't take ten seconds to read the sideboard so they don't constantly break rules, or are just flat out here to troll.

This is a completely arbitrary point and makes no sense.

Looks amazing!

You couldn't pay me to eat dairy products again. My class went on a trip to a dairy farm about 15 years ago, they actually had us milk the cows ourselves. Sickening.

Going to a vegan "meetup" irl and everyone there eats honey, uses second hand leather, or has cheat days and look at me like I have two heads when I say I don't do any of this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Amazing! This has reminded me that I have not had pizza in a long time, I'm seriously overdue for making another one.

I could eat nothing but beans, rice, lentils and noodles and be perfectly content for the rest of my life.

Looks amazing! And unrelated but that bowl looks really cool as well.

I'm a leftist but I think insert fascist opinion here

The BBC are a terrible "news" organisation. They pushed propaganda so that the public would be okay with supporting the invasion of Iraq, forbade black staff members from attending BLM events, doxxed the father of a sick child for criticising the prime minister, removed boos from a Boris Johnson speech and replaced them with applause, and have pedalled right wing propaganda by uncritically platforming antimaskers and transphobes.

Vegan btw

My style is typically painting and mixed media, sometimes I like to make small sculptures to get my point across. Honestly really just depends how I feel and what I'm in the mood to create lol.

And wow, that show looked like it was amazing. I've never seen a Kahlo exhibition or show in person but it's definitely on my to-do list.

I've been thinking of making some animal rights related artwork lately. My main influences as an artist are Francisco de Goya and Frida Kahlo and my style of artwork is very much political related and the kind where I want my audience to really think about the world. I'm trying to come up with some ideas as to how I could make it work.

I remember in the final Harry Potter book, after Voldemort is defeated Peeves (the ghost thing) sings a song about how Voldy has "gone moldy." Yet another thing he and Joanne have in common these days.

Grenfell was one of the very first things that began to radicalise me. Absolutely evil that dozens of innocent people had to die so that landlords could save pennies.

I can see that attempts to push the democrats left were clearly successful

I agree with their stance. I also have to take non-vegan medicine where there is no vegan alternative. This is out of my scope and practice and don't think it lessens my opinions against animal testing and abuse. I hope one day, preferably sooner than later, the medical industries stop relying on animal abuse for medicine testing.

One of my favourite ways to piss off American liberals is to point out that "Reaganomics" actually started under Carter.

Good?

I always hated baked beans until I made my own. Would definitely recommend and am seconding this

Yeah lol the price is a joke, I buy them maybe once a month but they are good for iron.

Sesame seeds, soya, and figs are also pretty high in iron.

Getting told by carnists that you need meat for iron when pre-veganism I was anemic and now I'm not ¯_(ツ)_/¯

From what I've heard the US in particular is pretty lax with the term "plant based." It basically means nothing over there. Where I live is pretty shit too but here you aren't allowed to call something plant based if it has animal parts/secretions.

The language barrier is partly why I prefer vegan too. My second language is Spanish, I am planning on living in a Spanish-speaking country and the most commonly used translation for "plant based" that I am aware of is "de origen vegetal" which is more of a food label than a personal one. It's easier to just say "vegana" lol.

Whoa, looks amazing! I love chickpeas

I am Jewish. Absolutely no one has discriminated against me for being Jewish over what's happening to the Palestinians. I am sure it does happen, once in a while. I'm also sure that anyone who does that is a right winger co-opting the Palestine movement and doesn't actually care about it. I have had no problems finding dates or making friends since last October.

jaja

Goes to a vegan cafe

Brings non-vegan food

Is asked to put it away

(Surprised pikachu)

The fuck was she expecting? This is some piss poor anti-vegan brainrot right here.

I've gotten like half of these, even on r/ShitLiberalsSay, which is supposedly a leftist sub that hates liberals

Chappell Roan is better anyway

De nada!! It's a very popular street food in Brazil, I like making my own a lot.

lol

Thank you!

I did not have any TVP to make carne de soja with and collard greens and farofa are all but unavailable in my country, had to make do with what I had.

Wow, looks amazing!

Probably yeah. Just bothsidesism.

Average Reddit 2.0 moment

Whoa, this looks amazing! Nice one!
