        If you look back in the .world news feed, you’ll find a couple of months ago that dumbass fucking Bankman-Fried was complaining that there were no vegan options for him in jail, and he was forced, forced I tell you, to subsist on peanut butter sandwiches. And vegans came out in full force in defense of that fucking jelly roll. Others were arguing about it in there… I remember reading the comments and losing a little bit of my faith in humanity.

        I had hoped they were actually being serious about it and weren’t just a bunch of paid shills or concern trolls or whatever exploiting the situation to upset others. I honestly don’t know which would have been worse, but I now feel deprived, as if they actually were serious about the vegan thing, they would’ve come up here bitching and I could have laughed at them.

          Maybe, maybe people just believe that human rights matter? That he belongs in prison but his human right to live according to his creed matters? Do you think Jews and Muslims in prison shouldn’t turn their noses up at ham?

            Thank you zombie Jesus, for I was not left deprived of my precious lulz. Praise be to the holy father and son

                And I don’t pretend to be anything but. Yet you do. Your one response to me was a way to make yourself superior to both, and that was what was most important to you.

                So welcome to the club. I’m sure more of their ilk will be around. And I can certainly be entertained laughing at you.

          Are you fully aware that the traditional “bread and gruel” prison diet is vegan?

          It’s not a big ask. It’s just basic human rights to meet reasonable dietary restrictions, especially for people in the “innocent until proven guilty” stage.
