Ecovacs robot vacuums in multiple US cities were hacked in the space of a few days, with the attacker physically controlling them and yelling obscenities through their onboard speakers.
You know, vegans get a lot of hate for telling everyone they are vegan, yet I’ve never heard a vegan doing this and yelling about veganism. It’s almost like racists are so much more violent and outspoken about it, including in kid’s game lobbies and now with fucking vacuums. I have never seen vegans yell “VEGAN!” online repeatedly… and even if they did, that’s substantially less harm anyway than racist bullshit. I never want to hear people complain about vegans talking about veganism ever again when this shit is part of everyday society and not surprising at all.
TBF I know only one militant vegan and she’s been outspoken about it for years. I eat meat, I either just tell her to fuck off or ask if all her cocaine is ethically sourced. She’s used to it.
But yeah, all the other vegans I’ve known are really chill.
Again, even if a vegan is spamming the word “vegan” in public spaces (which they almost never do like people joke about), it’s leagues better than racist slurs which society has just like, tolerated? In public spaces as being inevitable for several years, notably online and in games
I realize the irony in this opening statement, but as someone who’s been vegan a long time and never brings it up unless directly asked I can say that this people who are vocal about it tend to be the new vegans who are gonna drop out in six months because they just so happened to have a 1 in 6,000,000,000 person medical condition that makes it literally impossible for them to be vegan, which they discovered for the first time right after bbq season started back up. Definitely not just because they have a different outlook now, no sir.
How do you not bring it up before planning food out with someone? Sorry, I don’t believe you. Im forced to bring it up very early in relationships because food comes up pretty darn fast, even for casual acquaintances
Well a couple things, if possible I call ahead and see if anything can be modified, and if not I find some reason to bail. If it’s spontaneous, I benefit from, frankly, being a pretty heteronormative man so I can always manage to get beer and a large side. I really only have to let people know ahead of time if it’s some kind of work event, in which case the staff member in charge of us attending the event handles it but I’m not in that situation a lot. Of course, most of the time I’m eating it with people who already know me well so they already know I’m vegan.
