Whenever you do good indirect deeds for someone. Mainly because some people don’t expect or normally wouldn’t have wanted things to be done in certain ways because it could get them in more shit than they were in the beginning. But sometimes doing things for the good on their behalf is a benefit.
I just wouldn’t mention it to them because it could sometimes create an issue where you may sometimes be faulted or may get into an argument about the morals of having done such thing. So by not mentioning it, it spares you from having to deal with that. I think it also has a net benefit because it doesn’t make you look like you do good things for PR reasons.
Unless I absolutely have to for logistical reasons, I refuse to talk about me being a vegan to others.
It typically results in a debate in which I have no desire to participate. I’ve had the same conversations with people over and over again in my 9 years being vegan. I always either have to censor my opinions, or I end up upsetting someone when I say I think this thing they’re doing is morally wrong.
People rarely engage the topic with genuine curiosity, they usually just want me to assuage their cognitive dissonance and tell them “oh the way you eat animals is totally acceptable!”
Oh man, a few years ago, we had a military dude as conductor in our wind band. And I was always one of his favorites, I’m guessing because I have broad shoulders and a deep voice – prime military recruit material.
…except that I’m vegan. So, one day he sits next to me during lunch and asks me why I’m vegan. I do the usual dance of avoiding the topic, but he does not want to let it go. So, I tell him that I think killing animals is wrong. He walked out of that conversation like a hurt gazelle.
Like, fuck me, dude, if you’re gonna do the whole military tough guy spiel, but cannot take a kid disagreeing with you, then maybe you’re not as tough after all.
Im not even vegan, but just imagining the conversations for 10 seconds Im already sick of it.
Same. Not vegan but the anti-vegans online are way more obnoxious and annoying than any vegans I’ve seen.
Also not vegan but I try to limit eating animals. The next statement is usually “BuT pLaNtS aReN’t A cOmPlEtE pRoTeIn!1!1!1”
Like my entire diet consists of carrots. It’s crazy how some people don’t even look at nutrition values but believe they know what their body needs.
That argument annoys me so much. Each vegetable does cover all amino acids, they just don’t have them in the exact relations that our body needs. But if a vegetable has only 50% of one amino acid compared to the distribution that our body needs, then you can abso-fucking-lutely just eat double of that vegetable. Or as you say mix-and-match.
A typical Western diet includes far more protein than the body needs for maintaining itself either way.
People only seem to know meat and salad and nothing in between.
Dont forget fried potato
The amount of people worried about my nutrition as a vegan but who wouldn’t bat an eye at someone eating McDonald’s every day…
Uneducated dumbasses

Tomatoes, cabbage, and onions, that’s a lot of vegetables in one meal! Are you one of them woke f*gs?
If vegetables were sentient and bled, I’d eat more of em
