Just got one going on now.
An extended family group chat that was 99% baby photos until one person posted photos of their kids at a protest this weekend and then the chuddy trad-wife sov-cits in the family threw a fit.
They all left the chat and said they’ll only be reachable on Facebook.
Oh darn. All the shucks.
Now that is what i call an efficient way to filter out the trash from your group chat.
I’d share but the court case is still pending.
Ahhh the WhatsApp Paradox
For every chat group you’re in, there is a separate group that exists without you in it
I would not be surprised if my old coworker-friends started a separate group chat without me after the nth, “Maybe you should come to one of these protests” and “Please at least read the wikipedia summary on this historical topic before you start going off about it” message from me.
They’re fine people but they’re also kind of very… apolitical.
My friend had someone in our discord, he was the only one who was on in the video chat, the dude popped in and said, “you wanna see murder”
“No?”
Then he just vigorously started cutting himself with a knife. He was ultimately kicked out because of his drug problem
That’s the least problematic result. "We all love meaty food and we know you don’t so we didn’t invite you to the Delicious Meat Showcase.’
Rich high school friend shared a newspaper clipping with us (in the high school group) in which he was featured. Apparently he had a car accident with a girl in the seat next to him, and had suffered mentally for it over the guilt of crippling the girl. The initial reaction of the group was “ohh, so sorry you had to go through that”.
Later, once it sunk in that a) why was this featured in the newspaper at all, and b) his family is very rich, I think we all came to the understanding that he had basically crippled a girl with his reckless driving, could not fix the problem with money, and so in order to help mitigate against a future court case or to discredit the girl, his family paid for a sob piece in the press.
He was your typical rich kid: fast car, no consequences, if someone comes up with a joke he will steal it and claim it as his own. Shit eating grin, until you have nothing you can offer him so he goes and talks to someone else.
I came here for people’s group chat incidents
What I actually got is a flame war against vegans and a flame war against non vegans and they both hate vegetarians
Please reply with your group chat incidents
Vegans hate vegetarians? But they are vegetarians.
Disclosure: Am Vegan. Don’t hate vegetarians.
I think it’s because many Vegans perceive Vegetarians as going half the way and then stopping dead.
From a vegan perspective meat eaters are doing something morally wrong. But many have grown up that way and are conditioned into normalizing meat consumption. Many haven’t questioned it ever, or reflexively defend it, because it is perceived as normal.
Vegetarians on the other hand seem to understand the problem of animals suffering. Many of them made an ethical decision not to eat meat… and then continue to contribute to animal suffering by consuming other animal products. Understanding that murder is bad and then deciding to commit it just a bit less directly, is a position many Vegans take as deeply harmful.
Personally i am grateful for every single animal saved. Reducing meat or going vegetarian are steps in a direcion i see as good and positive. In my ideal world we would all be Vegans, but i am grateful for every little step in that direction.
The only incidents we have is my mother’s husband keeps making new group chats. All the same people, somehow new groups.
All the same content though, just us sharing cat photos.
Got drunk and sent a picture of my dick wrapped in a fur blanket with a face drawn on it and the caption “winter is cumming”
Was pretty funny all in all, was an incredibly rowdy group chat
Honestly that seems pretty thoughtful of them. Most people I know would give zero shits and just post all that on a chat with vegans and vegetarians. Some of them going out of their way to post them on that chat specifically.
Gone vegetarian 5 years ago just before the pandemic hit. I’ve never had any real issues so far and my friend group has mostly switched to vegetarian meals when I’m present. Not because anyone forced them, but because it’s a lot easier and there’s so much awesome vegetarian food nowadays.
And when we barbecue, everyone brings their own stuff anyway. So that’s a non issue as well (I don’t care about cross contamination at all)
I don’t think I could go full vegan, but in all honesty, I save enough money from not buying meat that I can buy all of my milk and cheese organic and that got rid of pretty much every last one of my moral qualms.
spoiler
Queue militant vegans telling me how awful even organic dairy is in 3, 2, 1…
Not a vegan, but organic is really a marketing term more than anything, at least in the US. Organic farming isn’t necessarily a more environmentally safe alternative to normal farming, especially since “organic” pesticides tend to also cause local environmental damage.
This is confusing for me. When I was growing up, it was in the aftermath of DDT and all that shit. Organic was what decent people started using to indicate that no awful pesticides like that were used. It wasn’t supposed to be marketing.
There is a strong anti-organic community that will say this. There is a clear indication of what organic means on the website. It is not perfect, but waaaay better.

nowadays organic just means it doesn’t use regulated pesticides, doesn’t indicate any quality besides that
I don’t know and don’t care about the US, but at least in the EU this statement is false. The EU-BIO- Label doesn’t regulate as much as it could, but it does regulate a lot more than just “no pesticides”.
Oh, I’m in America, and it doesn’t mean “no pesticides”. it means no pesticides approved by the EPA. fuck knows what they’re actually putting on there
If you became a vegetarian for ethical reasons, then buying organic milk doesn’t solve any of the moral qualms connected to the dairy industry. The cow still gets (forcefully) impregnated, her calf still gets taken from her shortly after birth and both of them get killed once they are no longer economically viable.
I became a vegetarian for environmental reasons and I do think all animals deserve a dignified existance, but my criteria for that is obviously very different from yours.
Still though, it never ceases to amuse me how that forceful impregnation BS is still floating around with people who’ve never encountered a live animal in their entire life. How about you try getting a male and female pet and do a little study on how small the intervals in between litters really are.

Or just spay and neuter

Are you saying cows are not impregnated forcefully? Because artificial impregnation is used regularly by dairy farmers. Even when not, the time of impregnation, either by natural methods or artificially, is carefully selected with best milk production in mind.

For cows it’s usually a dry period of 60 days, before they are impregnated again.
I’m not even sure what point you are trying to make here. Are you implying that wild cows would also be pregnatant as much as possible?
I’d be interested in what your criteria for a dignified existence are. For example, what is your stance on the separation of cow and calf? This happens in organic farming too. Regardless of the method of farming (organic or not) cows are slaughtered for meat at about 5 years of age, after bringing 2 or 3 calves into the world and about 15 years before their natural death. Do you regard that as a dignified existence?
Holly seeing the comments on this post is crazy and some people would do good to touch some grass.
I was hoping to read a collection of people’s group chat incidents. This sucks.
Meatheads love to ruin everything.
Most comments are by people talking about going vegan or vegetarian, what are you on about?
Professional victim while blaming everyone else, and also trying to use cute slurs
Being a single-issue conversationalist
Don’t start
If you actually pay attention you can see the meatheads started every argument.
So shut the fuck up.
meatheads
i regonize that yapper.
Looks like the average reddit user.
Dude /Dudette, what’s wrong with you? We aren’t here on xitter, where you get to dunk on others for some internet points. I know everybody has a bad day, but please act civilized and have a little dececy. It’s not that difficult and you’ll get your point accross easier if you don’t go fronting people 24/7.

You must lead a charmed life
Not in these comment replies tho
FFS we are talking about the other comments in these replies.
I see a total of two shitheads commenting live bait and for every one of those, at least three people are shitting on them when they could’ve just downvoted and moved on.
If your point is “who’s starting it” rather than who’s fueling it, it’s disingenuous and overly generous.
“I should be able to post but you shouldn’t be able to reply”
Yep. Yet another useless flame war over dietary preferences while missing the original joke.
Ikr.
It’s a meme… Laugh. Or don’t?
What if I laugh and don’t?
This posts comment section is literally
Just because you couldnt live without Meat dosent mean you cant respect some ones choice to not eat it, change my mind.

Seems considerate? “We didn’t want to annoy you with photos of something you despise so we created a separate channel to do just that but nothing else.”
Only if she did actually despise meat. I am in a few discords with vegans and vegetarians and we all just post food photos regardless.
I’d say the issue is more that the group was secret and had a stupid name.
The name is clever!
Incidents in my groupchats usually end up with somebody arrested tbh…
You can’t just say that and drop the mic! Tell us what happened!

Looks like you’re doing a bit of venting here but…
Wut
Yeah, sorry about that. Honestly, the whole situation is stupid and not worth the tax it’s putting on me.
I would be vegan if all the food i like wouldn’t have an animal product in it, also i don’t really feel enough empathy toward animals so i don’t have that emotional push :(
I hate that the industry of meat do bad things and polute but also i don’t want to stop eating 80% of the things i like, i try to eat meat bought from local stores, also, cheer to all vegans that did the “transition”
Hey at least you’re being honest, not telling us how much you love animals while you’re eating them. Do you like impossible burgers?
