I blocked them aggressively when I was on .ml. Or mildly goaded a few of them into flying off the handle so I could report them under civility rules. It doesn’t usually take much. Seems like vegans on Lemmy have been a growing target lately.

Was backpacking in another country and quickly ordering breakfast from a place our guide was familiar with while waiting for a bus to arrive.

Ordered a veggie sandwich, assuming it would come with a variety of things, but my guide knew I wanted no animal products and explained it to them. They came back with a plate of plain white bread and lettuce because they took off the cheese, mayo, and whatever else they’d normally put on it.

They thought it was really funny and honestly I did too so I just asked for some peanut butter and ate the bread up. Woulda been annoyed if I was at home, but can only control so much when theres’s a language barrier and you’re in a completely different country where the word ‘vegan’ only entered the lexicon in the last 2 years.

Edit: I did get annoyed at another restaurant in the same country because the way they do their menus is that they have a regular one and a vegan one and everything has the exact same name. So you have to specifically say you’re ordering from the vegan menu or else you get something smothered in cheese. But I didn’t know that because I had only seen the vegan menu. Shoulda been more cautious though.

I don’t know if this is true at a high level, but I think for someone just picking up a racket, it’s a lot easier to play than something like tennis. The birdie really does float unless someone spikes it at you, so you have a lot of time to react to what’s happening and someone more advanced can pretty easily tailor their play to a newcomer.

Badminton was literally the only sport I enjoyed as a teenager and would be willing to try playing again today Hitting floaty objects with a racket is fun.

As a Buddhist, I’m drawn to negative utilitarianism or ‘suffering-focused ethics’. It gets memed on to a ridiculous degree though by people saying shit like “if you want to eliminate suffering, shouldn’t you just kill everyone so they can’t suffer anymore?” and it makes the whole field of philosophy look like redditors.
