    I think it’s best not to mind people who try any level of veganism. Even if they are lying to themselves and others etc. if someone makes even the slightest effort that advances the vegan movement it works in our favor. You can see it happen in real time.

    There are more vegan products on the market today that are widely used by people who don’t even want to be vegan. Plenty of people just prefer oat milk or almond milk or do it exclusively for health reasons. The vegan movement is a rare fringe movement that’s actually broken through. The more people choose to just do “everything vegan but bacon/cheese” the more the demand for vegan products grows and the more people are incentivized to stock their shelves with vegan food over expensive and expiration prone meat products. It’s a movement that’s happening because the trajectory is passively positive with no real social pushback. Maybe in another couple years we can even start to cut government subsidies to meat products in favor of vegan products.



  • I’ve found that bad managers tend to think that they are looking for an ideal candidate. That candidate is mind numbingly obsessed with working for them that they will degrade themselves for the opportunity to work for their company. Like they hear fake stories from CEOs and influencers about how when they were working they worked all day every day and skipped lunch to make sure they were the best employee in the company and believe that if you just interview hard enough you’ll find that golden idiot.

    As soon as you deviate from that, the manager tells themself “well, this person asked about the work hours and overtime policy, clearly they aren’t ready to work 10 hours a day for no extra pay.” And anyone they do hire will never be enough.
