omni: Also, holy grapes RDN. Do you need to freak out about absolutely murdocking anything? I'm merely stating that I met a nice vegan so that the "all vegans are annoying" thing is nonsense, and then state that it takes a lot of self-control to be a vegan, but somehow that turns into "Omni, papayas you, you're a worthless creature and vegans are no better than murderers." It's no wonder so many regulars leave this place.

omni: @thatonestocking If less people would eat meat, less meat would be produced and less animal life would be created to be slaughtered. That's basic economy. It makes no sense to create animal life and feed it if it won't make any money.

@thatonestocking No, really?
omni: @nerthos And I don't think creating life just to kill it is justifiable, just like, most likely, nobody here would justify bringing life to a human child to lock them up in a basement, forcing them to do exactly as you wish and abusing them because "you created this life".

omni: @thatonestocking Except that being a vegan doesn't kill anyone, and being a meat-eater means you're responsible for the death of countless animals as well. Your comparison is completely insane, and I hope you can see for yourself why.

omni: @mushi Oh, I see. Well, friendly tip from the vegan I met: you can generally even cook a lot with just water instead of oil or butter (oil is apparently unhealthy, and butter is often not completely vegan).

omni: @mushi I wish you the best of luck then, seeing as you wouldn't even be able to eat most meals for vegetarians, as they almost always contain milk or eggs. It won't be easy, that's for sure.

omni: Today, I met a vegan. There are two possibilities here: 1. I met the only not-annoying vegan in existence or 2. All you vegan-hating meat eaters never met an actual vegan. Long story short: he was a nice guy.

omni: I wonder if there is a sane way to have Windows/Linux boot/Linux swap/Linux root/Linux temp or whatever would be good for a Gentoo system I will most likely completely break. I have absolutely zero clue about the advantages and disadvantages of "extended file systems". Hmm... *thinks*
