I hated school before, but getting trash thrown at me and I was the one called to the office to stop what I was doing.
A 12 year old drew a recognizable picture of another 12 year old? Doubt it.
You just pick something obvious and over elaborate on it. Big glasses, bright blue hat, etc also kids are mean, so pick a flaw, same idea.
Or write their name on it.
Best with a mean nickname…“vangoghismyboyfriend is a herbi-whore”
Heheh, this shitpost triggers me.
My mom was forcing us a macrobiotic diet back in the day. We were strictly vegan, although fish is allowed in that diet, some vegetables like patatoes and tomatoes are not. Hardcore vegans…
My school lunch was mostly sushi with a filling of fermented prune called umeboshi, or tempeh and seaweeds, pumpkin or rice balls and sesame seeds. We were underfed, yellow flaky skin because of the overdose of carotene and you see everyone around you in school eating candy, fries, meat and what not while also taking the piss at you for being different and stinking of that diet.
At dinner I use to bury my Iziki seaweed in the plant pot because I just couldn’t swallow that shit without gagging. If I did not behave mom would go…”you’re behaviour is to yang, next two weeks on a yin diet”. Disgusting.
By the age of 12, me and my sister got into stealing money from our parents real quick to buy normal or fast food, annoying the guy at the snackbar on wheels for free fries, shoplifting and shit. Yeah, good times.
Oh, and this is not a rant against vegans, everyone is welcome at my house, if you are good anybody. I even have pots and pans that never touched meat. I will serve you any grilled vegetables, beans, salads and vinaigrettes, pesto’s and bread, or baked patatoes and what not. I used to cook vegan for the homeless here in Amsterdam when I was mostly homeless and squatting myself in what we call squatting cafe’s.

You are living up to, and by my estimation exceeding, your username. Sorry to hear you had a rough childhood. Glad to hear that things are better - you sound like an awesome host.
Having separate cookware is really considerate n_n
that’s why i hate religious restrictions
Don’t confuse that with veganism though
Yes I agree.
Not only the diet, but the whole cult around it. Faith healers, homeopathy, people chewing on brown riceballs for an hour counting how many chews they had so they can show off how far they are on their macrobiotic spiritual journey. “You gotta chew your seaweed at least a 100 times”. These mf’s should not be around kids or have any (yes I would not exist). I am not on speaking terms and won’t open the door for my parents, get fucked.
That is disturbing. Cultish.
I have no words, I’m sure you’ve heard it all. Thanks for sharing this story and sorry for your childhood. Hope you’re healing.
Thank you for caring, that is better than anything spoken.
I’m curious why fish was allowed and why tomatoes weren’t, do you know what their reasoning was?
Beats me, maybe a land animal was more scentient than anything out of the sea. There are vegetarians having no problem eating fish.
That would per definition be pescetarians
Why the forbidden potatoes and tomatoes?
Everything in the genetic family of nightshade. Solanaceae.
“Fruits including tomatoes, tomatillos, eggplant/aubergine, bell peppers and chili peppers, all of which are closely related members of the Solanaceae.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanaceae
All the delicious plant based stuff snuffed out in a macrobiotic diet.
The nightshade family is in like half of what humans even eat that’s ridiculous
Well it is a spiritual journey, you don’t need to sin on food.
What was the so called spiritual part of abstaining from these, or in in general, on this whole thing? No need to answer if you dont feel like it or whatever, just thank you for your insights.
From what I learned a higher spiritual state is only achieved through discipline and rigoureus diet, ultimately one could live on a bowl of brown rice a day rule the earth. It is all really 1970s zen.
It is now, but it wasn’t until the Columbian Exchange. Eggplant is the only edible nightshade variety from the eastern continents, the rest being native to South and Central America.
Holy shit bro, that’s crazy!
When I left my old workplace my colleagues organized a good-bye meal together. Standard office job, with regular guys. We had a great relationship and they knew I was vegetarian for 5+ years at that point and never had any issue with it.
So they asked which restaurant I would like to go and I was stupid enough to let them choose.
We ended up in a specialized Brazilian meat restaurant, where the servers go around with absurdly large pieces of grilled/fryed meats and would carve a piece to the guests. If you are a meat lover you can have easily 10-15 types of meats in a couple of hours.
Those assholes had a huge grin on their faces all evening, as I could only eat the sides from the buffet and had to refuse all meals from the servers about 12 time that evening. It was a truly memorable night, we even got drunk and laughed our asses off on our way home.
So yeah, not just kids can be assholes. We are still in contact till this day.
I mean, that’s fucked up and hilarious. I’m a dirty omnivore and those places are no more appetizing to me. Those cuts at the all you can eat Brazilian places SUCK.
But surprisingly, when I want a predictable vegetable side while I’m traveling, I go to a steakhouse. Every other place seems to serve either microwaved bag veggies, fried bullshit, or something sad smothered in sauce. Go to a steakhouse and I can get a rare well seasoned aged filet and two steamed fresh vegetable sides plus a salad. The only reliable vegan places I’ve found are Indian, which isn’t bad, but is often not really to my taste. Obviously I’m no vegan, but I think it’s fair to say I love plant based foods even more as long as they’re not fake meat, fake cheese, or overly spiced mush. In a meat centric region that’s a hard palette to satisfy sometimes.
Can agree, steak fries and steamed veggies are usually great at steakhouses.
That’s pretty fucked up. I love Texas de Brazil but I wouldn’t bring a vegetarian friend there to watch me hurt myself on all you can eat meat.
To be fair the place had a great buffet with a large selection of sides and great cocktails, I ended up eating mac and cheese, curly fries and some salad. Even tried some grilled seasoned pineapple so it was at least memorable.
This place was called Nabrasa.
While celebrating them, no less
Yeah, I don’t like to think that far into it because it fucking hurts my heart. I love meat. But I’ve got family and friends that are vegan and vegetarian of different stripes. I will invite them to my cookouts and have a whole ass kettle grill that has never had an animal product cooked on it. That’s just for regular summer shit, not even celebrating them.
Jokes should punch up if they’re going to punch someone. Hitting a vegetarian is fucked up. They ain’t done shit to nobody.
They’re not wrong though
Hmm, does it count if the animal (human, in this case) could be omnivorous, but chooses not to be for whatever reason?
Herbivores can be carnivorous. I’ve seen plenty of videos of horses and cows cromching on baby chickens.
And carnivores can be herbivorous. Dogs can be vegetarian no problem, and a while back humans solved the synthetic taurine problem for cats. Turns out all animals are omnivores. Herbivores and carnivores are fake.
synthetic taurine problem for cats.
For mercy’s sake, don’t start this again please.
Drag is simply stating scientific fact. Drag doesn’t care what science deniers have to say to drag. It’s not drag’s fault if facts are controversial.
Please stop talking like that.
What about the humble amoeba
That’s how I see it. I’m a vegetarian omnivore, if my life depended on it I would eat meat.
I wish I was compared to a cow. People usually tell me I resemble a jackass.
They’re also herbivores…
would this text land differently if “public school” were replaced with “school”? 🤔
Not like this would be any better in private schools tho…
Neurotypical here, i just find it funny without context. Its just a joke if its not malicious. The thing is, theres a line between funny nicknames and namecalling but sadly school kids often overstep it. Thats why school should teach them that its not okay. For example with my past waterpolo team it was a kind of “friendship language”. My nickname was bird or angrybird but we had all kinds of things like: microwave, hamburger, etc(all in hungarian tho because im from hungary) .
I wish we used Magyar nicknames in our American locker room. I was big delicious but I don’t know what that’d be in Hungarian.
Id say “nagy és finom” or “a nagy finom” are the best translations i can come up with.
The fact that 5 kids knew well enough about the OP’s vegan status to use them as an example meant that the person probably never shut up about it.
Unfortunate that you are downvoted to shit. This was my first thought as well. Kinda cements the " vegans can do no wrong" opinion about themselves.
From the Vegan Bullshit Bingo:
#30 How do you spot a vegan?
Haha @hobowillie, that’s hilarious! Mostly by what you also recognize human rights, women’s and all other activists by: They talk about the grievances they have discovered and want to fix. By the way: Often vegans can also be recognized by the fact that they peacefully eat their soy schnitzel at the barbecue until someone, driven by their own bad conscience, has to make a comment about it and is suddenly angry at vegans for some reason after they have calmly and kindly explained their motivations upon request.#54 Vegans think they are better than everyone While it feels good to know that you have questioned traditions and made your own informed decisions in line with values that reject violence rather than promote it, you should not get on a high horse, because almost all vegans were once not vegan and everyone can take this step. However, completely refusing to address the issue is a difficult stance to take. By the way: Just because a vegan once told you an uncomfortable truth, they were not being mean to you. And even if you didn’t like a vegan once, that doesn’t question the whole point of veganism or justify continuing to exploit animals.
Or they saw him eating differently at lunch, and asked their parents why.
Makes too much sense, probably the victim’s fault instead /s
Or you know he turned down meat offered or was asked why he ate different food?
If they were classmates this info would be common knowledge after a few meals together.
They were literal children, and it wasn’t their choice. I’m pretty sure the “I’m better than you because I don’t eat meat” shit doesn’t start until at least junior high.
Does anyone actually say that?
Drag’s conscience used to say that, back when drag ate dragons. It said the people who didn’t eat meat were better than drag. Drag didn’t like drag’s conscience saying that, so drag decided not to eat dragons. Dragons are intelligent creatures and loyal companions. Dragons are friends, not food.
