The handwritten letter sounds cute. e: oh snipe uhhh here's content AITA for telling a vegan that cheese and mayo contain animal products quote:This is a weird one. At least I think so. I was spending a few days on a trip in a cabin with a couple of friends. One of them I am acquainted with but don't know too well. I just know that he doesn't eat meat and he claims to be vegan. I don't care if he is vegan, people can eat how they want. I think his "veganism" comes from him never trying foods. He eats nothing but junk food and doesn't like meat or eggs or drinking milk because it is from an animal and the texture is gross to him. Again, not my problem, his life. Paragraph spacing OP's

Clocks posted:ESH Aside from anything else the OP sucks because she couldn't think of a synonym or equivalent phrase to 'snap' and its derivatives. Also this an interesting use of "exciteable". When I read it I figured it meant being sensitive and the OP was making fun of FSIL. But what it really meant, if this encounter is any guide, is being histrionic and intolerant of dissapoinment. I mean, that useage does pop up. But it's usually a euphemism for bad behaviour on the part of the story writer or spoken by family to excuse a relative being terrible.

I had a vegan friend in the early 2000's before things were really being labeled as vegan or not. He was a little bit of a preachy vegan but not too bad. The thing is, he was purposefully ignorant of so many foods so that it wouldn't count as cheating. Any time one of us would educate him on a thing he was eating not being vegan he'd get all sulky and would claim we were doing it just to stick it to him. Eventually he asked us to just never inform him of the vegan status of food, let him find our himself and police himself. Fair enough, but man just declare yourself a vegetarian if you want to keep a million non-vegan cheat foods. Or just don't declare yourself anything, just eat what you want. if that means almost no animal products, great. But this was the early 2000's when veganism and its converts were at their most preachy. He was so attached to the idea of being a superior evolved vegan that "didn't murder for flavour" but he wanted to keep eating animal products in blissful ignorance.

tinytort posted:Holy poo poo. I mean, a promise is a promise and you don't get to control the way a gift is used, but also that's absolutely wild. That's not "we can knock this out in one session", that's multiple sessions, over the course of months, and waiting for it to heal each time before continuing. And those are going to be multi-hour sessions, too. HR bought me a watch with multiple vibrating alarms. It was one I was considering buying for myself, so was cheap and the timer function was a bitch to use on the fly, but there are options for when you don’t want to disturb others. (We weren’t permitted to use cell phones at our desks and I tuned out any of the visual alarms because I was busy on the phone doing research in multiple windows). Unless she’s also working on her phone, using the vibrate function should work. I have a huge aversion to bothering other people though. Taking public transport in Austin has taught me I am in a minority.

Corzaa posted:Neurodivergence possibly? Also a distinct possibility. My son was not fully trained until he was almost 10 years old, due to a combo of severe developmental disabilities, autism, and medical trauma relating to the whole process. Even then, he had a regression in his overnight ability to stay dry a few years later. And that's with actively working on it from the time he was about two and a half.

It's also totally ok to be mostly vegan or mostly vegetarian, unless it's a religious requirement or hard ethical line. If your goals are better health, less environmental damage, or reducing animal deaths, cutting out 80% or even 50% of meat or animal products out of your diet is still going to be an improvement and lets you have a nice night out without stressing out about every ingredient. Like you said you don't get to label yourself anything that way, but who cares? AreWeDrunkYet fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Jun 15, 2023 |

Someone asked for this a while back. My (25M) subs (23F, 26F, 22M, 28M, 28M) have unionized quote:I have been in a committed polyamorous dominant submissive relationship for the past three months. I’m the Dom and I have 5 subs, three men and 2 women. It’s been going great, it’s all consensual and everyone if having a good time. We do not live together, but we hang out at my apartment almost every day. It is not a purely sexual relationship either. We all share an emotional connection and it’s like any other relationship but poly and bdsm. Of course, as the dom, there are some rules. They need to call me master. No kissing anyone except for me. If i tell someone to do something, they do it (within bounds of course). The punishments depend on the person, some of my subs get whipped, some publicly humiliated. It all depends on what I agree on with each sub. We have safe words too, and we stop the roleplay whenever anyone says one. It seems weird to vanillas but this is what we enjoy and we like to be open about it. Everything has been great. At least I thought everything was going great. I woke up a couple days ago and told one of my subs to get me a cup of coffee. He didn’t do it. I told him that I was going to punish him (public humiliation which can be easily resisted) and he said that he wouldn’t do it. Now, if one of my subs acts like this I break it off with them so I threatened him that I would kick him out of the relationship. The other subs chimed in and said that if I kick him out, they all leave. That’s right; my submissives have unionized. They handed me a sheet of paper with a list of demands. The demands included (I’m not sharing all of them for their privacy), “Allow kissing between subs” and “Demands are to only be followed after 8 pm”. I tried to negotiate, but they were firm in their demands. I couldn’t punish them. My hands are tied, and I have no power anymore. I told them that I would think about it for a couple days. They haven’t left me yet, they still stay overnight, but this list of demands is lingering over our relationship and our sex life. They want to keep a dominant, and no one has stepped up to replace me. They thought about finding a new dom online but only if I don’t give into their demands. I want to negotiate because I don’t want to give up too much power. I offered “kissing subs only after 6 pm” and “follow demands after 1 pm”. I also offered following each demand separately but not both together. I really do have feelings for them, and they have feelings for me. But the power balance was shifted when they unionized and I don’t know what to do. The relationship isn’t as satisfying anymore and I don’t know if it will ever be. What should I do. Do I let them get a new dom and leave them? Or do I give into their demands and relinquish some of my power?

The subs haven't so much formed a union as presented OP with a Magna Carta. Although he's not so much the king of his little kingdom but one of those despots who can personally boss around any citizen but can be overuled or deposed by unanimous vote of the populace. I guess the tyrant of some ancient Greek city-states or a despot President in some republics? Kudos for subverting the dom-sub relationship. BRB cheating an app for that.

Vegans who eat dairy products or eggs are both vegan and not vegan. They're still vegan in their dietary orientation(?) and philosophy (even if it's as simple as "it's healthier for me). But they're not vegan in the sense that their diet doesn't exclude non-vegan foods and beverages. If someone who doesn't drink recreationally knowingly consumes medicines that contain large amounts of alcohol they're still a non-drinker in one sense but not in another. Although for such a case we might not call them a teetatoller if they cheated with even low ABV shandies. Maybe more like if a Luddite was wilfully ignorant of when certain technologies were invented or sometimes gave into temptation and went to see a film in IMAX 3D. Still a Luddite but also not.

A few years back during a hospital challenge to keep vegan (among a number of different goals such as working out X times a week) I casually asked if honey was vegan and everyone in the room looked at me like I was a child. Of course it's an animal product. But it also kills bees in several ways. And I learned that even non-vegans know this. Some folks avoid leather as its production kills animals. I wonder if they all know so does most silk production.
