Yes, but it is easier to do the fewer limits you put on it, and getting some nutrients is better than less than some. Vitamin E is heavily supplemented into most of our milk supply, for example. Because it is hard, otherwise, to get it. Cutting milk out means a need to get E another way, which for inner city living can be nearly impossible. Not as big a problem down south maybe, but up here where people are chronically deficient because we can't make our own (no sun!), it's a big deal. And there are a million other examples like this one.

'Misconception that it's privledged' is why I got upset, because it isn't a misconception.

ETA: the misconception is that it is solely food cost alone that makes it a privilege

@Kanye-Qwest

The thread of my point is:

Food deserts.
Time.
Inability to cook, having no stove.
No education, to understand how to get the appropriate nutrients the body needs.
Getting your kids to eat it

..

Yes. Somewhere that you can buy enough food for cheap exists. That is in no way enough of a factor to claim that being capable of eating vegan in a healthy fashion is not privileged.

@Kanye-Qwest

Eating dry bulk beans and rice alone will kill you if you do it too long.

@Kestrel

There are a lot of people who are more concerned with not starving to death right now, who need to feed their families right now, that do not have the PRIVILEGE to be concerned with how food is sourced.

@Kestrel

As politely as possible, it is not a misconception that it is privileged. That video in no way changes the reality of inner city living, or even, say, the assumption that people can stream YouTube videos. It requires special attention to diet that requires an education about nutrients that the body needs to avoid getting sick from malnutrition and all.of that shit. There is way way way way way way way more to it than 'you can buy enough not meat to eat for a week for cheap SOMEWHERE'. Irresponsible.

Realizing that you just entrusted a stranger with the future direction of your character and a- they have no idea this is the case and b-you know they are good at rp and c- there is no way any angle is going to be anything but fun. I literally have ZERO idea what is going to come of this thing that I just did except that it is very likely to be awesome and it's a thrill.

ETA: Like literally even if I get a 'no bad you are a crazy person stop this' it will be awesome to play so squee.

@Ghost

Now I think you're missing the point of what other people are saying because you're so focused on being antagonistic.

ETA: The point being that actually, there WAS an extreme social media response about a year ago about this very thing. I saw a ton of it, Bored obviously did too. Like holy crap there was tons of screaming in the communities I see. You didn't see it, ok, but the point is just that it really was totally there.

@Ghost

Actually, I think he's just disagreeing with you and providing his sources. You said you hadn't seen it, he said he had, and showed you where it was.

@mietze

It is so bad! And of course I am like INCREDIBLY whiny about it.

AAAAAAH!

I hurt my lip. It's a stupid tiny little thing, I got paper stuck to it and pulled it (and lip skin) off, and it is MADDENING. Like, I think broken bones bother me less than this is.

Revealing someone's alt on a game where they've been griefed off in the past is a real shit move. But since it's been done, here we go.

This upsets me. I'm sorry it was done to you.

@onigiri

See, I almost didn't comment about it because I really DO NOT want you to feel bad, it was a good (and needed) kick in the pants. Rodica turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.

@onigiri @Altair
I can't even hate you, cos you're new-new. I had been eying Cadenza for-evah when she got taken off the roster, so I finally got off my butt and got Rodica and I am VERY PLEASED with how that turned out so that's another reason for not hating.

THAT ASIDE you guys are new. Please feel free to page pretty much anybody mentioned in this thread for help if you need it. Including me (Natalia), but I'm pretty positive everybody here would be happy to help out with questions or getting acclimated or whatnot.

Moved into my new office today.

All by myself!! It's warm, too!

@gryphter

Sorry. I did say MIGHT. Uhm. I wish you very good coffee for your morning.

@gryphter

What do you do? I might be willing to trade for a day. Also how early?

Natalia and Rodica, presently!
