vegan, crossfitter, linux user and rapsberry pi owner walked into the bar, ordered a beer and minded their own business, but dave mortis really had a need to tell us about it.
You know, I’ve never met someone who actively tried to recruit me to veganism, but I’ve seen a lot of people spam vegans with meat pictures in an attempt to “Convert” them.
If you want I can try to put half a minute into an attempt so you can check the box. I can throw in a pitch for flattening eastern germany (bavaria to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) for good measure, if you like.
The fun thing about anecdotes is that they aren’t in any way indicative of the wider world.
Out of all the vegans and vegetarians I’ve met in my life, I think at best maybe 1/4 didn’t spend a protracted amount of time extolling the virtues of their lifestyle. Maybe you don’t consider that an attempt to convert, but a lot of people do. Either way it was annoying.
Conversely, I’ve only ever seen two “omnivores” try to convert someone who wasn’t, and it was a one off joke among friends.
Discredits anecdotal evidence
Uses anecdotal evidence as reasoning
My entire point is that I see these sorts of “well I’ve never encountered a proselytizing [insert group here] person, so that means these stereotypes are just mean and based on nothing!” but all it takes is one person to say “Well I have”.
Beyond that, my anecdotes are as valid as theirs. Which is to say not worth much at all.
your entire point is bullshit. you have no idea how many vegetarians, who did not bother to share their thoughts with you, you met.
Likewise, anyone saying something about “omnivores”/“carnivores” etc can only go off of who opened their mouths to them.
Again, my point is just as valid as the person saying they’ve encountered many more non-vegetarians trying to convert people. They don’t know how many, who did not bother to share their thoughts with them, they met. By your own words.
If you think it’s bullshit, well you said it, not me. I’m not arguing against that. I’m saying that the comment I first replied to is bullshit too, if that’s what you want to call it.
I’m not making any judgement on vegetarianism, veganism, or anybody’s dietary requirements or choices.
I’m saying that the entirety of “well I’ve never seen it”, “well I have!” is fruitless clashing of anecdotes. It’s slightly more wordy “nuh-uh!” “yeah-huh!” except people get reinforcement on whatever they already believed.
And I find it hilarious and somewhat unbelievable that anyone over the age of 21 hasn’t met a single vegan that tried to convert people, not even one, but has met multiple non-vegans spamming pictures of meat at vegans to… try and convert them. Are you kidding me? Who the fuck does something like that, it reads like an “and then everybody clapped” story. How the fuck did that get so many upvotes?
Again, my point is just as valid as the person
again - no, it is not. you don’t even understand the point.
anecdotal evidence is not very rigorous proof (though i assume there is not much formal research done in this area), but that is not the point.
see, while person claiming he never met a vegetarian doing that can indeed confirm the fact, you have no way of confirming majority of vegetarians you met were doing that. because you have no way of counting the vegetarians you met not doing that.
so while the other person can confirm the low number, you have no way to confirm your perceived high one. your argument fails to work even in the framework of the anecdotal evidences.
but has met multiple non-vegans spamming pictures of meat at vegans to… try and convert them. Are you kidding me? Who the fuck does something like that
lot of meat eaters. it is just that you do it so habitually you don’t even realize you are doing that. you will just come to an image of a cow saying “hey, my steak is coming” thinking you are funny.
here you have few of them, who just felt the need to share their steak or stupid joke without being asked:
vegans share their thoughts when it becomes topic of the conversation - it is really the meat eaters who will shout out of the blue “uh uh, mah steak!”, because they feel everyone needs to hear it.
it is similar to when people say “you know, i don’t mind gays, but do they really have to shove it to everyone’s face on their pride parades?” without realizing that the fucking carneval in rio is exactly that - a straight pride parade - you just don’t realize it, because it is “normal” to you".
As if I would ever do crossfit lmao.
I own a few raspberry pis, and sure they are neat, but I don’t think people get that passionate about them. It’s just a little slow computer.
As a vegan, raspberry Pi owning Linux user, fuck CrossFit though.
The new stereotype is bouldering 😤
I would be interested if there are any raspberry pi owning non-Linux users. It would sort of seem like the two would go together.
Well, there are two issues. First, Apple doesn’t allow the installation of their OSs on non-Apple hardware, so installing MacOS on Raspberry is at least a licensing issue and hence there’s no project to port MacOS to the Raspberry Pi. Second, Windows OSs are much more resource hungry compared to Linux distros and though there are ways to install Win11 on a pi (though you’d have to tinker a bit more) it would be very slow due to the board’s limited resources and not really worth the effort.
Linux has the best fitting distros for RPi, they are made for each other, and there is no real reason (though just trying for the sake of it is valid, too) to use something else on a Raspberry.
I have one of the originals and it definitely wouldn’t run anything other than Linux.
There was a version of Windows, Win 10 IoT Core, for the later Pis. I’ve never heard of anybody actually using it though.
I did once on my Pi 3.
What was your experience? Did you do it just for fun or did you use it for something?
I think it was something dumb related to Cortana? It was a pretty useless operating system, and I’ve since run only Raspberry Pi OS on that particular Pi.
RISC OS, anyone?
Not for me, thanks, I’m pretty RISC-averse.
He also never hesitates to mention that he went to school for architecture and is a licensed designer.
And uses Arch BTW.
For a desktop environment, he uses Cinnamorn
And has a pet Moopsy
And a big fat cock
Morn your stories are great but a little too verbose, can’t get a word in edgewise
Morn at Qurarks = Norm at Cheers
Phew, luckily I was a crossfit, Linux using, raspberry pi owning vegetarian. And I made sure everyone knew it so I wasn’t associated with those crossfit, Linux using, raspberrypi owning vegans!
He brings his fixie bike inside with him, announces he’s not ordering anything because he’s straight edge, then asks the barkeep if he has a minute to talk about Jesus.
I accumulate things to go akshully about
I am two of these things and if you see me talking it means that tragedy is upon us.
What do you call someone who only wants to eat the rich and won’t shut up about it? Asking for a friend.
Eating the rich is vegan because they consented by being rich.
An Uber.
