Updated template. Had no idea on who the knucklehead from the original template was.
Downvote cause of Crowder
update: upvoted after change.
Stop using the Steven Crowder meme already. The guy is total trash.
OP does not use said meme
this guy links to it
Smh.SMH.
(Or possibly OP edited away from that meme and this guy leaves the link. I’m a day late, take your pick. )
You should pick another distro and become equally as insufferable.
I recommend Mint. Its basically a 1:1 clone of windows from what I recall of using it years and years ago.
Whenever anyone brings this up, I imagine a vegan sitting at a table with their new friends, refusing to eat any chicken wings, but also not saying why… And then everyone harassing them with a million questions like, “do you not like hot sauce? We can get barbecue”, “are you on a diet?”, “are you allergic?”, etc, etc. Finally, after half an hour of this, they lose it and just as there’s a lull in the music, they scream out, “look, I’m a vegan! I don’t fucking eat meat! Fuck off!”
The whole bar goes quiet, staring, then one of the people at the table reaches for a wing, looks at the vegan, and says, “dude, chill, we get it, you don’t eat meat, blah blah blah. You don’t have to talk about it every 5 minutes! Here’s some bread and butter.”
Every vegan that irritated me constantly brought it up…the folks who just did their thing got me curious as to why and educated me on some delicious food despite me not being vegan/vegetarian.
I will say I think Indian food is the best vegetarian food to the point that it’s just good, you’re not even worried about meat.
I have to say, I am yet to encounter a cliche vegan.
Not a single vegan I’ve ever met brought up the topic, unless there was a reason for it. Like the scenario you described.
But I’ve met a whole lot of bros who made fun of vegans for existing and being annoying.
“You’re vegan? No sweat! How about a bean and cheese burrito?”
🫠
Literally no one will ask you a million questions about arch
That’s why vegan != arch user. If you are vegan, you can not avoid the topic. Arch user could avoid the topic.
Uhhh… I mean no. I think the equivalency is both groups love to talk about something that Makes them feel superior- but actually just annoys everyone around them
Both groups are stereotyped as that, and neither group is actually like that
Kinda proving the point tho. The joke was more on Arch users and everyone in here is writing paragraphs defending Gluten Free/Vegan. But, like the meme is pointing out, you just gotta talk about it! 😂
“Haha vegans never stop talking about themselves!”
Hey can you stop making fun of us?
“Haha look at this, yet another vegan who can’t shut up!”
It’s more like “Hey, don’t Arch users totally fit this stereotype?”, but again, look how defensive you get. It’s hilarious that you don’t see the irony. The joke literally starts with “Arch users…”, but you zero in on the vegan part. You didn’t even need to comment. You could’ve just downvoted and moved on.
I really hope you can appreciate the irony. Humor is good for the soul, buddy.
I don’t use arch, and I’m not vegan, I’m just tired of played out innaccurate “jokes”
Ever hear a completely accurate and factual joke? They’re boring. Just admit you don’t like the joke and move on. You don’t need to further the very stereotype you hate so much.
That’s the irony part that you’re just not getting.
I’m a celiac with a dairy allergy, but I use Fedora.
…
I miss cheese so much
Wouldn’t trying to change your mind basically become a self fulfilling prophecy.
I’ve met quite a few vegans and far as I know none of them avoid gluten. I also know someone with celiac disease, who would never even contemplate going vegan when he already has so many dietary restrictions to put up with.
They’re not absolutely mutually exclusive groups, but pretty close to it I think. Slackware users who install everything through Snap are the real gluten-free vegans of the linux world.
Hail Seitan! --> many vegans (including myself) swear on pure gluten :D
And yes, I also know people who also cannot be vegan because of all their dietary restrictions.
I guess the similarity of arch users and vegans lies in the fact that both groups are very much outside the norm. So you often have to distance yourself from the assumed default (windows/apple computer, omnivore diet). And just talking with other people, it comes up often by itself. If someone asks me to fix their windows PC, I have to tell them that I haven’t really used windows for nearly a decade now. And if someone invites me over or to a restaurant, I have to tell them that I’m vegan. But people who are inside the norm often don’t deal very well with outsiders, so they have to invent tropes like the annoying vegan. What is actually annoying them is their own double standard they have to live with (torturing/killing animals and having a large ecological impact vs wanting to be a good human being).
But obviously there are also some people who use arch or are vegan and do it to provoke a reaction, to feel special and morally superior.
Fuck that guy in the meme.
Seriously. That shit needs to die already. I really don’t want to see this fascist fuckface all the time.
FYI, OP swapped the image, making your comment appear misleading. Everyone loves Calvin, the little gremlin!
Why?
Just the facts:
It’s steven crowder, he’s a sexist, homophobic, transphobic content creator.
Did it matter? I thought it was Tom hanks until recently. It’s not like he gets paid every time it’s posted.
But he wins internet clout, which as we all know from Keanu Reeves, is sometimes enough for you to make a comeback long after your career is over.
(Nothing against Reeves, seems like a good dude)
He only wins internet clout if you know who he is. I didn’t. He was just that guy in the meme.
Now he’s been named at least two people, who didn’t know of his existence, now know.
You’ve just Barbara Streisand’ this guy.
You do realize that people with celiac disease aren’t just choosing to not eat gluten right?
True, but those are not the people the men’s is making fun of. It makes fun of perfectly healthy people who decide they need gluten free everything because they heard that gluten is bad and they can’t do any research on how and why. Same with vegans who are only vegan because it’s trendy (and who probably cheat every other meal because a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition).
a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition
I was actually surprised by how little effort it really took? Like replace butter with margarine, slave milk with oatmilk and, unless you’re baking, eggs aren’t actually that important.
The rest is just choosing different meals. Roasted vegetables, fried rice, bulgur, beans etc. instead of steak or sausages or what have you. Get some starchy stuff, some veggy stuff, some proteiny stuff = heathy meal. Most nonvegans live less healthy than that. Then there really is only the B12 debate left, and if you want to err on the safe side just take some supplements. They’re really cheap.
Sure, it wasn’t 0 effort, but it wasn’t exactly rocket science either. Just kind of look at what you’re eating, throw out the non-vegan stuff and go from there. If you have any qualms about the exploitation of beings with a consciousness, who can feel the pain and suffering when their kids are killed just give it a try.
It’s actually not quite as easy, you do have to at least get a rough understanding of what you need and where to get it.
Especially for women, iron deficiency is a real problem. For some reason, they lose a bunch of iron every month and that needs to be replaced. A lot of women are running low on iron even with “conventional” diets, so dumping all the iron rich animal products can be a problem.
It’s far from impossible, but you have to educate yourself a bit about your needs.
But thats true about nutrition in general. A lot of people have deficiencies without being vegan, this stereotype that veganism is somehow dangerous unless you know what you’re doing is just wrong. People need to be more educated about nutrition in general independently of veganism.
