Anyway, what I was going to post about was salted peanuts, i.e. the only way to enjoy nuts. Except for, maybe, peanut butter. I tried it for the first time this summer but haven't yet decided whether I liked it or not, lol. I didn't like it at first either. Try it with chocolate cream, tastes like Snickers. (The only vegan way so far I can enjoy the taste of Snickers. I miss it. D:) Peanut butter on its own is too 'strong' imo. It's very nutritional, though. I don't like Snickers, though I used to eat a lot of ice cream for protein, but now that I'm trying to prefer vegan alternatives, peanut butter might be an option since vegan dairy replacements don't really have the same nutritional benefits.

I can only occasionally tolerate peanut butter. I used to not like a lot of nuts. I'm really enjoying almond milk thought these days

I returned from a """business trip""" (it was for work, but I'm a gardener not a manager or CEO or something) today and I'm absolutely amused at how offended people get when you say something they like is shit. Granted, most of the people were teenagers/children, but they react as if I've murdered their family. 😂 (It was about music btw, not like I insulted them directly.)
//Edit: ""I didn't say "Your music/taste in music is shit", I said "Can't you play some decent music?"""

i guess bc taste is subjective ? why not just say "i don't like x" instead of declaring it 'shit' lol... i mean, it goes the other way, eg. i can't unilaterally decide something is AWESOME or BETTER THAN YOUR THING - but there's still [dumb] stuff i'd get p (ง'̀-'́)ง about if someone started telling me it was shit yknow? and i'm not a child/teenager (who are more sensitive/immature anyway?)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like it doesn't affect my life, why get worked up about it? Carrots are shit, too. It's pretty obvious it's a subjective opinion. I'm really flattered people apparently think my word is law, though.

all true. i mean people shouldn't even mind if someone does insult them personally, we should be able to be like "well, that's your subjective opinion; i think i'm great" it's weird that we do get worked up / upset about things like that - and then further removed things like politics/religion - and then even further removed things like music/entertainment tastes

i guess it's just a fairly common human experience to identify with things / form identities around things and from that personal investment, get antsy when those things are insulted ? does this mean insulting justin bieber is like a 'low culture' form of every deep-seated social Us Versus Them polarising debate....

I'd like to add, which I didn't specify before, I didn't say "Your music/taste in music is shit", I said "Can't you play some decent music?" Apparently, that's bad enough, though. (To them, I mean.) They also kept complaining about the mostly-vegetarian food and the people who don't eat meat. They are allowed to insult people, but don't you dare hurt their feelings about their music.

I really don't get it, they hear "vegetarian" or "vegan" and start complaining before they even try it. Just because it doesn't have meat. Then when you tell them one of their favourite meals is vegan or vegetarian, they totally lose their shit.
