Updated template. Had no idea on who the knucklehead from the original template was.
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. )
Just as OP.
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."
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
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.
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.
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.
