Rants and Raves
Have you noticed how everything from nuts to mixed salad to fruit juice to even sparkling water comes with a "vegan" label these days, and comes at a premium over the exact same product before marketing realized they could stick "vegan" on it? Seriously. Are hipster vegans really too bloody stupid to be able to tell some things obviously aren't animal products withotu a sticker for dummies on it? And why do I have to pay the price of their stupidity?
In fact, I've been eating more meat as of late because the bloody "vegan" sticker premium has gotten so out of hand. See, I found this place that sells regionally sourced organic Angus beef for less than the regular supermarket (without an extra price premium for having a "vegan" label of its own) charges for tofu. No, not high-quality seitan, or even just smoked, spiced tofu, the kind of non-organic, mass produced tasteless soy-foam that a decent Japanese restaurant would be ashamed to have floating on its miso soup. To the surprise of absolutely nobody with a lick of sense, the same organic foods place also sells regional vegan craft beers for less than the vegan supermarket (without an extra price premium for having a "vegan" label of its own) a block down the street.
Fucking "vegan" labels, the most obscenely unethical greedy marketing trick of the late 2010s. And fucking hipster vegans who're too stupid to realize feeding that beast ultimately does more harm than good.
Thanks for starting a rant topic, I really needed that one off my chest.

Did you hear the one about the vampire who became a psychotherapist?

I totally agree with you, food brands stick “vegan”, or “low calorie” or “low fat” on food in an attempt to market it to the “health conscious” consumer. It is wholeheartedly disheartening that people actually purchase these foods at higher prices under false pretenses on the producers behalf, and then consume these items with the idea that they’re making healthy food choices. I’m glad you found somewhere that offers true organic options at reasonable prices! That’s a true gem.
Something that grinds my gears is fights. Sometimes I don’t know if other bimbos actually absorb the looks and vote accordingly, or if they’re just randomly voting to get tokens. I don’t think I have the BEST looks of all time, but I do feel as if I lose fights more often than I should. I feel like sometimes voting is also politics, for example let’s say a bimbo does have the better looks truly but shes in consecutive fights against another active bimbo, I feel as if even though one bimbo has better looks, voters will eventually vote for the other bimbo to secure that bimbos vote in their own fight. I also feel like bimbos vote for their friends often disregarding the looks all together, or it’s just a popularity contest. I’d even go as far to say some bimbos don’t want “low level” bimbos climbing the leaderboards too fast, and will intentionally not vote for them as a way to hinder their growth in the game. This is what has been really bothering me.
Yeah, I love that little shop. It's nowhere near cheap, mind, but the value is really good for the quality of the product. The big drawback is the Angus beef is the only kind of meat the owner actually re-sells (chicken and fish are offered as part of lunch meals only), so it's not helping me move more toward a 'proper' flexitarian diet. Which I really would prefer doing, because science does say chicken is a lot more sustainable than beef. I mean, I'd prefer to cut back on meat further, but not until somebody sells me quality seitan at an actually fair price, and it doesn't look like that's going to happen before hipster "I'm better than you" cult veganism has gone the way of the dodo.

Like, don't forget "natural" for GMO-filled stuff and the always popular "zero sugar" drinks ;)
As for fights I think there's no accountin' for taste mostly. You might repeat the same fight twice and win once and lose the next. I've totes had moments when I went, wait how did I win that? Or like, come on I should've won that ;P
I rarely check who votes where but more than that I notice while votin' that some bimbos just alternate. Kinda sucks but what can you do :D

Such misplaced zeal... Their eyes remain closed to the true path. Not like you... my devoted Chosen...

You know what really grinds my gears? Stupid people. I have to deal with them all the time at work. It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, it's impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.
I am always stressed out by not knowing how to act
like a normal person
So many!
As an android robot, this really grinds my titanium gears...can't do nothing!
Enjoy your life. Living angry is a waste of time.
