And runlue, a lot of vegetarians make exceptions for fish. They have recently been called Pescetarian, someone who only eats fish. But that's a relatively new term. So it's perfectly reasonable for someone to ask you if you eat fish as a vegetarian.

I live in Oregon, and my dad lived in both Oregon and Florida when he was growing up.
He was probably in Florida when this happened, but what do I know, my Dad's life is a mystery to me, even now. XD
June 4, 2015 12:44 p.m.
kyuuri117 I've never heard that term before. So, that's news to me.

When super hippie vegans get on me, I like to let them know that as a low carber, I am literally the anti-veg. I prefer my food to have been alive at one point, to have died recently, and to be cooked minimally.
And if it had a name, I want to know it.

... Gluten-free?
Jk I'm not stupid.
But seriously... plants are living things... and used to be at some point... just sayin'.
June 4, 2015 12:51 p.m.
What are vegans allowed to eat? Hell , what is a vegan. I've heard the term a bunch but never cared to look it up.
June 4, 2015 12:52 p.m.
Vegans are super vegetarians. They won't eat anything, and some won't even use products, that are made with something that came from an animal, i.e. cheese, yogurt, certain beauty products made from stuff like whale blubber, etc.
June 4, 2015 12:54 p.m.
kyuuri117 Someone who eats no meat, and nothing FROM an animal. So no dairy, meats, fish, stuff like that.
They pretty much eat bread and that's it. XD
June 4, 2015 12:54 p.m.
I went vegan for a few but ended up craving meat 'cause it smells good when cooked. Veggies just don't have the right aroma wafting in the air for me, nowadays.
Hope that settles something or other else about me.
June 4, 2015 12:54 p.m.
Lol Runlue, I only eat vegetables to make sure the steak comes back out efficiently ;P
(And, ya know, for the health benefits - I actually eat a ton of vegetables. It's my primary source of the 25 carbs I can eat a day, the rest are yogurt.)

There are a lot of vegans and vegetarians at my school. They have their own little group, but most of them are pretty cool people. They don't act like they're better than everyone else or anything, so I'm all right with them. Hell, I've considered going vegtarian for quite some time now, but I can't give up fish and eggs. I eat way too much fish and eggs to go vegetarian, even if you can make exceptions. I eat meat maybe once or twice every two weeks.
June 4, 2015 12:58 p.m.
But bread has yeast, which is a fungus, which was alive at some point before sticking it in the oven :_( the poor murdered yeast!
But seriously, cows and goats and sheep need to be milked or they die. Why is dairy a no go?
June 4, 2015 12:58 p.m.
Eggs are my life blood. I eat 2-3 a day minimum. They're so friggin' good for you.
June 4, 2015 12:59 p.m.
And now this is where I say something weird.
I may be a vegetarian, but I hate all vegetables. I mainly eat fruits, beans, and the occasional veggie burger. That's literally my diet. And has been for YEARS now.
I wonder why I'm so skinny...
June 4, 2015 12:59 p.m.
Yes, I'm an avid eater of eggs. They're delicious.
Scrambled or bust.

Just make sure your fruits include blueberries and you drink a lot of green tea so you get enough antioxidants to keep the cancer away. You'll be fine.
June 4, 2015 1:01 p.m.
Runlue I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. If you put olive oil, pepper, and a little salt on almost any vegetable, and stick it in the oven for 15-25 minutes, they taste great.
June 4, 2015 1:02 p.m.
I've often wondered that myself, kyuuri117. Being a vegetarian tends to be a matter of preference, and that's cool. I get it. I don't understand it, but I get it. Vegans though, that almost always seems to be a moral position and there is just no talking them out of it. Let them eat their bread and beans and waste away. I'll just be over here being able to bear my own body weight around.

I'm at the TSA pre check thing, and I looked at my passport picture for the first time since it was taken 4 years ago. Damn the times sure have changed since then. Even the lady at the desk kind of laughed.
June 4, 2015 1:06 p.m. Edited.
Well, my flight was just delayed another half an hour. Here's hoping that doesn't happen to you.
And I no longer feel bad about not watching that chicks bags, it's been twenty minutes and she hasn't come back to the gate.

Make a hobo sign looking for other people to play magic with.
June 4, 2015 1:10 p.m.
Dude, if that's a bomb, I'd go to the other side of the airport.
June 4, 2015 1:11 p.m.
NoPantsParade says... #26
kyuuri117, I'm not at the airport. It's some identification building thingy. I'm not quite sure what we're doing here, but it's some airport stuff for our trip in July. Some lady cut us in line and started making jokes about the big car accident nearby.
Also that could be a bomb. I'd be careful and maybe walk away or something. Maybe she's just running late or something. Seems weird.
June 4, 2015 1:13 p.m. Edited.
After I said no she took the bag and left. Don't see her and I doubt a terrorist is gonna be wearing a pink dress and pink pumps at noon.
Still. And I didn't bring my mtg cards, unfortunately, thought that united airlines might get their heads out of their asses for at least a day. Guess not.
June 4, 2015 1:15 p.m.
Sagarys Lol, or maybe she's one of those people that thinks chicken isn't meat. :P

An idiot. The word you're looking for is idiot. Here's a lesson for you as you journey forth into adulthood. The world is full of idiots. Most of them are too dumb to realize they're idiots. Try not to associate with them, they'll try to make you one of them.
June 4, 2015 1:21 p.m.
I would've said idiot, but I'm a nice guy, and nice guys don't call people idiots... often. XD
June 4, 2015 1:22 p.m.
Idiots don't deserve your kindness. And they're too dumb to appreciate it.
June 4, 2015 1:23 p.m.
Ew, chicken fingers.
It's all about that TOFU FINGE- Wait, tofu sucks...
June 4, 2015 1:27 p.m.
munches bagel I've also returned. People should play Standard with me online.
June 4, 2015 2 p.m.
I was kidding. Anyway, a second chick just asked me to watch her bag so she could go buy something. And I had to explain, again, that no, I don't want to be held responsible if something happened. I thought it was like , basic airport knowledge to not leave your shit with other people. TSA has signs everywhere and announcements every half hour to not accept random peoples stuff. I don't get it.
...and you can absolutely murder a fungus man, ask a vegan, they know.

NoPantsParade lel don't start this game with me. I will rain on your parade.
kyuuri117 whatever you say. Not willing to start this argument.
xzzane talking about real life, m8.
June 4, 2015 2:12 p.m.
Yeah, I'm just saying. It makes sense in the world of MTG, because you can do virtually anything in MTG.
Speaking of the world of MTG, ORRIGINNNNNSSSSSSSSS.

6tennis is simply trying to stop the spread of yeast infections, kyuuri117. I can't come up with any puns at the moment, so I guess you kind of ruined my parade.
June 4, 2015 2:18 p.m.
I just ordered a steak sandwich, and was given roast beef. While technically not wrong, that is kind of annoying.

I dunno, do you live in Texas/the south? Like in Texas, if you ask for a coke, they think you asking for a soda, and ask "what kind, sprite, coke, root beer", etc. Maybe they heard "meat" and thought "red meat".
Anyway, last night around 7 my mom goes, "hey Charlie, by the way, you're going to Chicago tomorrow to pick up a dog were adopting. Go set up a flight". I'm like, what?
Anyway, sitting in the airport, flights delayed for three hours. Some chick asked me to watch her bag for a minute and I felt kinda bad being like "no, sorry, I'd suggest you bring it with you". But like, I don't wanna be held responsible if someone runs by and grabs it. Or if it's a bomb.
