    We’re not talking about hanging with friends and interrupting a conversation to call out them out over ethics. We’re talking about people coming to you and engaging with you directly on this topic. It’s hard to imagine a scenario more conducive to changing someone’s mind, but you do have to put in effort instead of just dismissing them.

    “I empathize but don’t think you have the best approach” is not hostility. It’s a disagreement.

      Go check the modlog for the sort of shit that gets removed.

      Infinite patience for “I’m curious about veganism, what motivates you?” or “I need X for my work, what vegan replacements are there” zero patience for “Lol vegans do you eat almonds you’re evil and dumb and go fuck yourself”.

      Anyway I’m done with this. If you want to be convinced to be vegan you’ll find a way. If you just want to vent at me because someone was rude to you once and you have a bee in your bonnet then pay me for therapy :p I said I’m not interested and you replied again so I’m blocking so that we both disengage.
