Toast with butter, two eggs over hard. Pretty much every weekday morning. The joys of diabetes and meal plans.
Breakfast!
Not one instant powder-to-muffin. I'm ashamed.
Coffee and smokes again, lol
I'll make a bagel later.
Holy crap yesterday I had to get my car towed! Apparently I blew a control arm on the rear driver side tire while backing out of a parking stall. Had to wait 2 hours in the car with a very upset wife. Ended up being a Raider for the tow, and then the part was about a Hounds Tooth. Labour today is going to probably only be a hour, so that's I dunno? Two A-Wings? Maybe four?
Ugh!

I blame X-Wing at large.
When your tire goes all sideways like that, like a sport tuner super-car you know -crank!, you can't drive that hey? Like if I was bopping along the road doing the in town speed limit and my control arm went, that would be a grinding halt sort of affair right? That's not the sort of thing you can drive on and not notice is it? I'm sure the thing broke while I was backing up and turning out of my stall, but I'm not a car guy so I don't know. We got any car guys in the diner?

It's more like an apple bread pudding kinda, the way I make it.
Milk, Butter, Sugar, Apples, Cinnamon, Granola, and good ole Oatmeals!
Dat Oat-Glory!
THE POWER TO COOK OATMEAL IS INSIGNIFICANT NEXT TO THE POWER OF THE FORCE!
No to bacon.
Edited by That Blasted SamophlangeMmmmmm Bacon.
Vegans need to watch the lion king, and listen to the circle of life on repeat.
(It's taking all the restraint I possess not so suggest other things they can go do...).
Don't get me wrong, if someone genetically modified a kind of grown meat that didn't feel anything, but tasted like chicken/pork/beef that'd be awesome. Otherwise, these animals are bred to be eaten/used. We are an omnivorous species, we are the top of the food chain for good reason so sod it. I agree with kosher/halal meats and avoiding unnecessarily suffering. BUT Vegans are so **** self righteous that I want to eat a burger for every single vegan argument I hear, just so out of spite I can think they are doing more harm than good to their cause.
I even get why the Hindu religion venerates Cows, and that makes sense.
Aside from that , chickens and turkeys are so horrible and disgusting creatures that the only thing they really provide to the world is food! Piggies ain't much better, Wild boar tastes delicious!
Edited by DariusAPBReally? Because, i don't recall anything about gestation cages in the Lion King.

Circle of life man, top of the food chain eats the stuff beneath it.
Lemme tell you guys that like pet bunnies.
RABBIT IS DELICIOUS!
I'll take issue along with you regarding the more inhumane stuff, but food is food. Protein is protein, and tofu is for <REDACTED>
Besides, free-range is a thing.

DAT GLORY!
Also. HELLO: Gestation cages are banned in every country I've ever lived. So.. yeah, screw it. Canadian bacon, English bacon > American Bacon. Except wait, Banned in 8 US states too...
Christ, that's like arguing Bacon is bad because pigs are forced to read the bible!! Probably happens in some redneck farms but isn't exactly everywhere.

See. Now I need to go kill and eat another turkey!
Seriously, every time I hear a militant vegan or someone tells me not to eat meat, I gotta do it. I gotta make a **** point.
A few billion years ago, before they evolved into turkeys, Velociraptors would have TOTALLY eaten us, this is completely fair play!

That's a vegetarian I totally agree with.
Edited by DariusAPBSo Darius, how many dogs do you eat? Cats? People? Answer seriously, and non defensively, if possible.
I can get enough protein and nutrition from a 100% plant based diet. It is also cheaper. I live in the city and I can grow much of my own food.
Vegans aren't self righteous. We speak for sentient and intelligent beings that have no voice. They aren't able to speak for themselves and have been turned into a commodity.
Perhaps the reason you are so upset, is because you don't want your belief questioned. Perhaps you are afraid to watch what goes on in a slaighterhouse. Free range still ends with a horrific and violent end to a life.
As a vegan, i dont feel superior to any one. Just the opposite. I don't eat meat beacuse of this.
You cite the circle of life. Wild animals do hunt and kill each other. I accept that. They don't drive cars or watch television either. We, as stewards of this planet, can survive without consuming another animal. We can change, should we choose. Most would rather cowardly hide behind the words "it tastes good" than open their minds and see what realiy goes on.
Honestly, I used to be one of those people. A dedicated carnivore. I turned a blind eye. Then, one day, I opened my eyes.
Since going vegan, my health has improved. I feel better. I eat tastier and more varied food then when i ate meat.
Hell, i make a **** fine "pulled pork" sandwhich that tastes exactly like the real thing. It uses jackfruit. The difference? Slight texture and less greasy.
Dog is delicious.
People - None, Dogs, cats, None and probably given my love of chinese food. I do try to avoid Lamb, as they are awefully cute, but I have had lamb kebabs. Personally I find the taste a bit bland.
Not a big fan of Pheasant either. too gamey.
Dude, You can't tell me vegans aren't self righteous and expect me to keep a straight face, there is way too much evidence to the contrary. I grew up in the rurals, so I know how farming works. Hell. The rabbit I mentioned that tasted good? Shot it myself. Would happily kill the turkey personally also.
No, Vegans piss me off definitely because of the self righteousness. There's no defensiveness here, that's pure **** fact. Hell dude, examine your own sentence in context "Honestly, I used to be one of those people. A dedicated carnivore. I turned a blind eye. Then, one day, I opened my eyes."
"We, as stewards of this planet, can survive without consuming another animal. We can change, should we choose. Most would rather cowardly hide behind the words "it tastes good" than open their minds and see what realiy goes on."
My reply to that would be this:
Surprisingly safe for work, also amusing.
Why do I eat meat? I've already cited the food chain, you've cited taste. I've even mentioned and suggested a genetically modified variant. Nutrition can be cited, ease of access is also a good one.
I eat a lot of fruit and a decent amount of veg. I could eat fish, and would definitely back the genetically modified alternate food sources. But I won't give up eating food that's been bred by us for us to eat. It's functional, it's relatively efficient. It's affordable.
Am I being vitriolic about this? Ohgoodgriefyes. am I going to change? Probably not unless a suitably beneficial and efficient alternative can be produced. Do self righteous people telling me to do something cause me to do the exact opposite? Just about always. I'll admit that's a personality flaw. I have no intention in changing it. It's a good flaw to have.
Cheap, efficient, good ease of access, lots of existing recipes, most other people can eat it with me. Bacon, Pork, Chicken and Beef. Tofu is still disgusting, and for hippie <REDACTEDS>.
Last of all, we are built for it. We can forage and farm, but we are just better predators than anything else out there.
TL:DR: Militant Vegans are about 50% of the reason I am not a vegetarian, with the rest being convenience, taste, nutritional value and practicality.
Edited by DariusAPBAs a vegan would say (I guess): live and let live.
Vegans have a point in that it is possible to get by on an animal productless diet, though vegetarianism would be easier and that it would be better for the planet as a whole, probably.
Meat eaters have a point where, if you eat responsibly, it can actually be quite healthy and certainly delicious.
Nobody needs to hear the arguments from the other side, especially if it's obvious neither side will change opinion.
Can we get back to our pew pews now?
Hence the link about the vegetarian I posted, and hence my life rule that everytime someone tells me to not do something.. I gotta do it harder.
The search for a fleet Centrepeice continues.
That's a pretty.... dangerous rule? Don't jump on that thin ice Darius! *stomp *STOMP
;-)
Amendment.
If someone tells me to not do something I like doing.
Curb your X-wing collection for example means Dammit, I really need another GR75.
Stop playing space engineers means I REALLY, REALLY need to design a space to atmosphere drop and recovery craft RIGHT NOW!
"Maybe you shouldn't open that bottle of mead" - becomes "I AM GOING FULL VIKING!!!"
Edited by DariusAPBAh, the teenager approach to life, I can appreciate that.
