        Whatever the highest rank is.

        Arch- usually indicates the highest form possible without utter transcendence into a different form, or at least a, well, overarching rank of some sort. (Semantically related, but not etymologically, apparently. At least not directly. But I digress.)

        It is, after all, why the name of Arch Linux is what it is (so sayeth Wikipedia). The creator wanted it to be the best with no equal.

        An arch-vegan might be one best at not only avoiding animal-based produce but also convincing people to convert to veganism, as well as making normally well-adjusted vegans feel that they’re not being a good enough vegan.

    I don’t volunteer either piece of information, but sooner or later someone is going to overhear me ordering vegan food or see me opening my lunch and the dreaded conversation will have to happen. I wish people would just let me make my own food choices in private without making a big thing about it.

      Yeah, the stereotype drives me nuts. Like, yes, food is a big part of day-to-day life and sometimes I need to explain when asked why I’m not eating if there’s nothing for me at, say, a company event. I try to avoid it as much as possible and just say I’m not hungry.

      But they feel attacked. They want to continue living in blissful ignorance of how animals are treated or how bad it is for the environment. Same as windows users who don’t want to be reminded what corporate cucks they are. Some even go so far as to become utter bootlickers (see also Elon Musk fanboys)

    I don’t know what you say, but as a debian omnivore most people don’t notice either.

    You know, because the computer just works, looks a little different, kinda like a mac on top, but free, and powerful and stable under the hood.

    See I value practicality and reliability, and also ease of use.

    This applies to meals as well.

    Sure I’ll go vegan if I can, get free range stuff when I can afford it, but I’m not made of money and infinite free time, as one would have to be to be a morally consistent vegan.

    I mean both are great in concept, but man are some folks insufferable to talk to regarding both. Ubuntu, part time vegetarian…

      What does part time vegetarian mean? Either you go full vegan or you belong in the trash and the reason why earth is dying. Dont take veganism lightly and respect us for we are your savior and the beacon of light for humanity.
