Its because they ran into the loudest, most annoying vegans.
IDK how, maybe different areas have more militant vegans, or maybe they just roll with negative stereotypes and the algorithm bs that lets the worst folks float to the top of their media feeds.
I've actively sought out vegans because they have great advice on dietary restriction resources and as long as you're respectful of their choices, they've been consistently so willing to share.
And they also really love a good breakfast, in my experience, like the local vegan group has just pages of discussion on good vegan donut resources.
And as for hobbies, try needle felting if you feel dangerous.
stabbing is fun, and its not about precision, just the aggregation of effort.
All the alcoholism in both sides of my family, and I'm fretting about my liver, when I'm taking less than the recommended dose of a prescribed medication that could change my life if I could take more.
And I'm on a COPD inhaler and I've never touched any death sticks at all.
Life isn't fair, I 100% feel you.
I also literally felt you when they put me on amitriptyline and that gave me hbp and they kept trying to act like it wasn't that big a deal- that with all my other health problems, my blood pressure would start getting off, and I'd have stress, yadda yadda.
It really does feel physically horrible, especially the headaches and sleep issues.
My biggest advice is to never be afraid about a second- or third or fourth opinion with your health, and be gentle but persistent with your goals.
Its the art of pushing without breaking.
Now, this is the experience for me and some unhealthy overachievers, so take the following with a grain of salt:
A lot of times people with underlying health issues actually function their whole lives by pushing until they crash, but hide their crash, and just assume everyone else hides the meltdowns/16-hour sleeps/weekly puke sessions/etc too.
If that happens to describe you, then you're going to need to get comfortable with giving just 25% effort in a lot of things until you can safely figure out how to actually not hurt yourself.
I'm serious.
Step out of your skin, and treat yourself as you would your precious little sibling or something. Dote on yourself.
Aaand I've typed too much. It gets my own stuff going. But good luck.
IMO that was super sudden.
Usually these things come with a lot of wind up, and I say this as a consumer.
Even without the context of this mod drama, I did a double take when I heard about the new stuff because its release date was so soon from the announcement
Yeah, the doggy door bell turned into the "Attention" bell instead of the "Outside" bell for a while for us.
Then when she realized we made her go out every time, she stopped using it and went back to a little wuffle.
My dog responds to swear words by doing the kinds stuff you see emotional support dogs do in videos- press on your chest, give you kisses, nuzzle your face, etc.
Except she's small, blind, and a bit... intense, so she kinda launches into you if you're sitting, with some intense affection.
IDK why. I guess we don't swear very often, ao when we do, its special, and we swear with enough gusto for her to think we're very, very upset.
I just had something like this happen when I was posting a macaroni recipe on Discord.
Folks assumed I was posting some bad stuff because Discord used recipes when they censor vile and virus-laden links, apparently.
Who knows how long people thought I was posting bad stuff; I love sharing recipes x.x
