What makes a "good vegan", and how can I be one?

Hey, glad you want to be a considerate, conscientious vegan! You won't upset anyone as long as you follow these simple rules:

  1. Never admit that you are vegan
  2. Never talk about veganism
  3. When people are talking about meat, eagerly participate
  4. Do not eat visibly vegan food in public
  5. If offered meat or cheese, eat it without protest
  6. Do not cook vegan food if serving others
  7. When you see a cow, remark out loud how you want to eat it

That's about all you need to know to be one of the Good Vegans. Hope this helps!

I Bought a PlayStation Vita in 2025

Reply in thread

I got a PS Vita a while back and it's a fun device, especially set up for homebrew, but it's super uncomfortable to use for more than a few minutes at a time

Little inputs all over it and nothing to hold on to, I had to get a controller shaped thing to clip it into just to stop my hands cramping up, the bigger devices like the steam deck are a lot more comfortable in comparison

Mondays are cheese only

Hold on, let me get my B12 deficient brain around this with a basic hypothetical example...

100 cows are killed each year at an evil factory farm for 10 people. One person suddenly develops a conscience and decides to change their lifestyle by not eating their cow products, switching to a purely iceberg lettuce based diet, reducing demand by 10% outright and causing 10 fewer cows to be bred for the evil factory farm.

But actually this is WORSE than someone developing only a bit of a conscience and deciding that instead of giving the evil factory farm money for 10 dead cows a year, they'll give their farmer best friend who they know personally and trust and who gives the cows pedicures and lets them drift away quietly in their sleep money for 10 dead cows a year? And this is better and more moral because in this world it is a universal constant that a set amount of cows must be killed each year, and by abstaining from meat entirely you are giving the evil factory farm a greater proportion of the cosmically allocated dead cow quota?

Because if so, this is great news for my ethical cat steak business.

Are souls games really as hard as everyone says?

the thing about souls games is that people on the internet insist that the only REAL way to play them is through extra difficult self-imposed challenge runs (summons? resin? pyromancy? you didn't beat the game)

ignore that and you can temper the difficulty down a lot, though you'll likely still need a good amount of patience and perseverance, especially if it's your first time playing
