    Just got one going on now.

    An extended family group chat that was 99% baby photos until one person posted photos of their kids at a protest this weekend and then the chuddy trad-wife sov-cits in the family threw a fit.

    They all left the chat and said they’ll only be reachable on Facebook.

    Oh darn. All the shucks.

      Got drunk and sent a picture of my dick wrapped in a fur blanket with a face drawn on it and the caption “winter is cumming”

      Was pretty funny all in all, was an incredibly rowdy group chat

          I can’t remember where it was from or if it was just one of the degens in the chat but I remember the phrase “cockstume party” being thrown around.

            I had a friend tell me her strategy on unsolicited dick picks was to respond with pictures of other dicks in shoes. Often coupled with comments akin to ‘you couldn’t pull off these stilettos, but maybe you could try a kitten heel.’

      The only incidents we have is my mother’s husband keeps making new group chats. All the same people, somehow new groups.

      All the same content though, just us sharing cat photos.

      Do you really expect anything less from an anonymous public message board? It’s practically a Law of the Internet that invoking any version of the words “vegan” or “vegetarian” is bound to spark outrage from one side or the other.

        Disclosure: Am Vegan. Don’t hate vegetarians.

        I think it’s because many Vegans perceive Vegetarians as going half the way and then stopping dead.

        From a vegan perspective meat eaters are doing something morally wrong. But many have grown up that way and are conditioned into normalizing meat consumption. Many haven’t questioned it ever, or reflexively defend it, because it is perceived as normal.

        Vegetarians on the other hand seem to understand the problem of animals suffering. Many of them made an ethical decision not to eat meat… and then continue to contribute to animal suffering by consuming other animal products. Understanding that murder is bad and then deciding to commit it just a bit less directly, is a position many Vegans take as deeply harmful.

        Personally i am grateful for every single animal saved. Reducing meat or going vegetarian are steps in a direcion i see as good and positive. In my ideal world we would all be Vegans, but i am grateful for every little step in that direction.

          Even just reducing our global meat consumption would make me so happy. Let it’s insane to me that there is what amounts to my eyes as a wall of tortured flesh in every grocery store, and my tofus and veggie dogs take up like half of two shelves next to the fresh vegetables.

          I can’t wrap my head around eating meat every day, but there are people who eat meat at every meal.

    Rich high school friend shared a newspaper clipping with us (in the high school group) in which he was featured. Apparently he had a car accident with a girl in the seat next to him, and had suffered mentally for it over the guilt of crippling the girl. The initial reaction of the group was “ohh, so sorry you had to go through that”.

    Later, once it sunk in that a) why was this featured in the newspaper at all, and b) his family is very rich, I think we all came to the understanding that he had basically crippled a girl with his reckless driving, could not fix the problem with money, and so in order to help mitigate against a future court case or to discredit the girl, his family paid for a sob piece in the press.

    He was your typical rich kid: fast car, no consequences, if someone comes up with a joke he will steal it and claim it as his own. Shit eating grin, until you have nothing you can offer him so he goes and talks to someone else.

    aaand that’s why I’m in no group chat. Not even in the family group chat. They kept adding me and I kept leaving immediately. Everybody got angry with me. A couple of months ago something hapened and the grouo is over. I don’t know what happened because I was not there. Nobody is angry with me and I’m not angry with anyone. say NO to group chats

    Ahhh the WhatsApp Paradox

    For every chat group you’re in, there is a separate group that exists without you in it

    Honestly that seems pretty thoughtful of them. Most people I know would give zero shits and just post all that on a chat with vegans and vegetarians. Some of them going out of their way to post them on that chat specifically.

    I would not be surprised if my old coworker-friends started a separate group chat without me after the nth, “Maybe you should come to one of these protests” and “Please at least read the wikipedia summary on this historical topic before you start going off about it” message from me.

    They’re fine people but they’re also kind of very… apolitical.

    That’s the least problematic result. "We all love meaty food and we know you don’t so we didn’t invite you to the Delicious Meat Showcase.’

    My friend had someone in our discord, he was the only one who was on in the video chat, the dude popped in and said, “you wanna see a murder”

    “No?”

    Then he just vigorously started cutting himself with a knife. He was ultimately kicked out because of his drug problem

    I use to BFF with someone. I heleped them secure a new position. For my help, I was brought on as a consultant. I did a fantastic job as a consultant. I was everyone’s buddy and everyone loved me.

    I was part of high level meetings and decisions.

    Then I found out some of my so called “friends” had a secret Signal chat. They even invited some random person! I cried for days.

        Thanks kind internet stranger. To be told, I was making fun of Ol’ Elon Musky and the meme of him being sad, with the words “You guys have a group chat?”. Which came out shortly after the Signal Group chat with the journalist.

    I would be vegan if all the food i like wouldn’t have an animal product in it, also i don’t really feel enough empathy toward animals so i don’t have that emotional push :(

    I hate that the industry of meat do bad things and polute but also i don’t want to stop eating 80% of the things i like, i try to eat meat bought from local stores, also, cheer to all vegans that did the “transition”

      Hey at least you’re being honest, not telling us how much you love animals while you’re eating them. Do you like impossible burgers?

        I never tried one because where i live they don’t sell many vegan alternatives to meat, if i get the hands on one i will try it! Maybe it can be a good replacement? I mean, if it taste the same who care.
