figuring out how to stay shiny

kelzor asked: Oh man, please don't take one vegan's pretentiousness and holier-than-thou-ed-ness to mean we're all like that. I'm a vegan, and I'm constantly trying to make sure I'm not an asshole about it. I'm an organ donor and I don't care who gets my stuff if I die. True compassion looks beyond individual life choices. Some vegans are assholes, but really, a lot of us aren't!!!

Lol, I would know. I’m vegan (6 days out of the week)! I’m glad to find more vegans :)

hate-wizard and I have talked about lots of things (like being vegan/privilege/nihilism/etc) and I they’re a pretty smart person. Of course, we disagree on some things, which is completely fine. I’m not childish enough to throw a fit whenever someone says something I disagree with. I’m more concerned about the ethics of logic/reason that is entirely divorced from emotion? I admire reason like any good atheist, but shit. haha I don’t think the two (logic and emotion) are diametrically opposed, since emotion is not a self-creating phenomena, it has a root. I guess I’m about to go lay in bed and think about this until I find myself is a deep philosophical pit lol

Anyways, good to find some more vegans :)
