It’s my irl bday today.

To celebrate I’m going to attack more jasmine. Then dins with the fam (w/ bro / SIL oh no). P’s are heading off early to Qld tm morning so just doing Indian takeaway. They have a nice dining room so it seems silly to go out. 5 of us and the local Indian takeaway joint does a good deal for 4 for $99. Bro and SIL are getting half portions.

Unfortunately yes. Kind of embarrassing, but I walked in and sat down. I fully intended on just getting 1 plate with a can of drink, but she was like β€œyou don’t want any starter???”, so I got 1 naan bread. But then she said β€œoh my gosh, you only want 1??? Are you sure!!! Are you sure you’re sure???”, so I got 2. Then for the drink, she seemed disappointed I was only getting a diet coke, so she recommended the mango lassi. I’d never heard of it, so I tried one. Then for the main, I just wanted a small curry on rice, but she convinced me to get a spicy lamb soup with a very large side of saffron rice. Then obviously I skipped dessert.

That’s the day I learnt how to say no, because fucking ouch. I had a fair bit of extra money that week, and rather than saving it like a normal person, I decided to just be a silly little idiot and β€œtreat myself”, only to not say no to anything and spend a fucking shit ton for a single meal. I’m pretty sure it was actually $68ish and I think they stung me with card fees. Ooft. I did take a fair bit home with me though, but that killed my plans to go see a movie afterwards, because I didn’t want it sitting in my bag all night and going off or something

Little one bought home her fathers day gift which was a β€˜all about her dad’ poster and she has successfully made me sound like I’m an alcoholic.

Which is super impressive because I don’t even drink alcohol, lol.

Edit: Good news is that I still have a job. I just need to be… a little less shit at it.

There is something blackly hilarious about how many vegans are insisting they should be able to feed a cat vegan diets if they really really want to. (Blowup in outoftheloop)

Those people need to own rabbits. Or preferably no animals at all because they lack any sort of clue.

And if you disagree with them on the viability of vegan diets and cats you’re β€˜emotionally invested in them being wrong’

Just…dude. Don’t own a fucking cat. Millions do it.

It’s like they don’t care about the fact that cats are obligate carnivores.

Edit: in fact, they don’t even know what β€˜obligate carnivore’ means.

There’s slews of 'em going β€˜but supplements and this single study that mostly looked at dogs said it was ok!!’

Like…jesus. They’re trying to force an animal to go against its nature to suit their personal preferences and they do not see the hypocrisy. Get a fucking parrot you twonks

My dog loves cucumber. But goes crazy for big meaty bones. Lettuce and celery result in a dog equivalent of a death stare. I’m sure he would throw them back at me if he could πŸ˜‚

The whole point of these restrictive diets is to go against nature.

It’s to weaken the body so that the spirit can take better control and live a purer life.

Hi! I’m the mod that started this all! I think everyone who uses the phrase β€œobligate carnivore” is outing themselves as a complete buffoon since it has literally 0 application to whether or not it is possible, which would be obvious if people looked up the definition.

But of course, that would be expecting a lot from people :)

Hope that’s oil or margarine on that popcorn! Chicken salt is fine though, amusingly it has no chicken in it. Weird name huh?

…nah mate. You’re literally putting your desires over the animal’s needs. It’s the same egotistical β€œanimals must serve the desires of man” schtick that veganism arose in rejection of.

Miss me with that bullshit.
