this is pretty much the story of my life

If you ever have a meal with -just- vegetarians, it's usually fucking fantastic. The only thing about being a vegetarian that sucks is that not everyone is one, so sometimes you just miss out on the main course of the dinner.
Unless you're super-moral vegetarian, then you get upset at other people for eating meat. But that's kinda obnoxious.
Playing spot the vegan is fun.

Vegetarianism confirmed to make people violent. And they thought video games are bad

Come at me bro, I'll fuck you up!
No but seriously don't ask a vegetarian where they get their protein, it's pretty ignorant.

What if they're just curious? Maybe they are considering becoming one and want so diet advice, but your rude response turns them off.
Eh whatever, point is, don't deal in absolutes

Its cool guys, I'm back to lifestealer
|
you could switch back to doom and then say you're lifestealer because you're infested or some shit
|
Doom used to be my favourite hero then they fucking nerfed him so I'm back to Lifestealer because he's too awesome and needs no buffs/nerfs.

So... Where do you get your protein from?
Just kidding. Vitamin b12 seems like the thing that's actually hard to come by for vegetarians.

peanuts, lots and lots of peanuts

Those have b12 in them? Damn. (I had a b12 deficiency a few years ago from... Probably from drinking myself blind every night and they told me I didn't eat enough red meat. I don't like beef except steak which is expensive as hell)
But yeah, I'd just always heard that b12 was pretty much the only thing most vegetarians could ever possibly need to take supplements for due to their diet.

I dont have any problems with vegans or vegetarians, AT ALL, have a lot of friends !! But... a lot of time i feel like they demonize people that like meat :/
Of course this could happen the other way around

Dota was just like in sweden the big thing together with CS here, so i think there's a pretty sizable chunk of european dota players that are from the scandinavian countries in general.

From my experience vegans are typically 95% of the time the holier-than-thou type of people.
Thus "spot the vegan" became a thing on the internet, like:
