Sometimes I feel like I'm being mean when I pick on my nonvegan friends. (self.vegan)

But then I remember I didn't take their children away, hook them up to a machine to extract food from them, or kill them. And that makes me feel like making fun of carnists is not so bad.

I feel ya.

The other day my friend was complaining that his ice cream he had delivered was melted. And I was like "Aw man. They raped a mother and killed her calf to make that ice cream for you and you didn't even get to enjoy it cold". He just rolled his eyes at me but yea, like sorry I'm not sorry lol.

Yeah, this is pretty much exactly what I do. People get uncomfortable for a second, but I feel like I have to remind them what their actions look like from my perspective. I've realized that if I don't make jokes, they just never think about it!
