My in-laws are always doing that, too. They'll even spend money on things knowing fully we wont consume them, only to pout. We have a bunch of decoritive imported goods, lol.

The fact that anyone bothers to give recipes negative attention is already weird.

One of the things that made it hardest for me was being teased and picked on by my family, while I wasn't asking anything from them. I just didn't want meat with dinner. It was nonstop anytime I showed my face, and if I spoke I was spoken over and ignored. It made me very antisocial, and I didn't adhere to my values. Then almost twenty years later I did and I've gained a bunch of weight because I'm comfortable while I eat.

Like most things, you learn as you go. I just learned my dishsoap isn't vegan, but I already have it, I'm not throwing it away now. I just wont buy it again. I'll be checking the next soap I buy. Each new thing needs to be researched. I'm just more comfortable with my choices than I was before.

Peer pressure is pretty rude, though. One ribbing is fine, but after that it's just pride and bullying.

Not the person you replied to, but I was going to say "tunics," but their comment covers that more broadly. Something that covers you up, but is easily to style with a jacket, scarf, vest or other accessories. Jeggings are very comfortable if you want something tighter.

I am now more confused than Jim Davis left me.

This is the thread that made me make an account and what a pain it was to find without having saved it anywhere. I've been holding out for someone to say it, but havwn't seen it specifically.

Single use plastics. I still remember the weird feeling of doom when learning the world population and making the quick relation to disposable plastics, constantly being told "but it's only a little bit." A little bit for several thousand years, per billions, is too many bits.

So, my spouse comes home wearing a small cooler as well as a work bag, and sometimes more bags from groceries or projects aquired in the wild, makes a beeline for me and we kiss and talk; whenever they're all stockpiled I stress about their body under the weight. Your dad loves your spine, dude. Just say you're on your way to put it down, but wanted to give a brief greeting because you're so tired. I think you humans call this "just saying hi real quick, too tired to talk."
