Ah yes, Christian Nationalist attacks on other Abrahamic religions. How's that poly blend mask fitting these days?

Bacon is to Muslims as Broccoli is to a White Nationalist.

I actively disliked bacon looong before going vegan. It smells bad and the amount of fat that renders out when you cook it is just plain uncanny. Why is it never a high-quality french Jambon or Prosciutto with those people?

Because along with hating minorities, foreigners, and the LGBTQ community, there are few people American nationalists hate more than The French.

You shouldn't render out all the fat of your bacon. Keep it in there!

Also fuck Off with reduced fat anything. If you give me fat less bacon the cooking will not work unless I put some other fat in.

I will get the fat into my system no matter what. If i don't sweat on the toilet, what's the point of being alive.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 6 hours ago

??? You don't sweat on the toilet from eating a well cooked meal.

They think it works that way because that's the way it works for them.

Show them a picture of Mecca and they freak right the fuck out.

Or talk about how you're eating less meat/became vegan and they'll act like you're demanding them to become vegan too.

People clutching their ears and writhing in pain the moment they find out you're trying to cut back on eating meat is always such a bizarre response.

Imagine doing this to anyone going on a diet. Screaming and thrashing and trying to shield yourself with a fist full of candy bars the moment you hear "I'm cutting sweets out until I lose 10 lbs"

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 points 6 hours ago

Sorry i don't eat meat.

I NEED MY PROTEIN, I'M ALLERGIC TO VEGETEBLES, I GET ALLY MEAT FROM A GUY WHO TREATS HIS ANIMALS VERY WELL AND THEY LOVE BEING EATEN.

Okay.

The War on Christmas is absolutely real and it is the height of ignorance to pretend otherwise. To be crystal clear Christmas is the 12 day season between 12/25 and 1/6. Anyone complaining about people not saying "Merry Christmas" outside of 12/25-1/6 is talking about the wrong season.

Advent starts with the first of four Sundays before Christmas day. This is typically after American thanksgiving has taken place and is the actual season that is going on when people complain about "The War on Christmas". The proper greeting for this season will refer to Advent and not Christmas because 12/1-12/23 is not Christmas.

To sum up there is a War on Christmas and the aggressors are the ones bitching about people not saying Merry Christmas during Advent.

There is a difference on how the holiday season go based on religion, but also based on country. Like f.e. in The Netherlands the gifts are more traditionally exchanged on the 5th of December because we have Sinterklaas then, which is basically based on the same Saint Nicholas.

It's projection. If you showed them a rainbow or a Day of the Dead decoration, they'd get super offended and bent out of shape. And because that's how they react to things they don't like, they assume that's how everyone else reacts, too.

People seem to forget that Muslims are allowed to touch pork products, they're just not allowed to pray after touching them unless they ritualistically purify themselves by washing their hands, mouth, nose, face, forearms, head, ears and feet (the order is different as well as what parts you wash in different schools of thought).

Doing all that is a bit of a kerfuffle so a good number of Muslims just choose to avoid touching anything that could invalidate their purity, but the worst that can happen is they have to wash themselves again before they pray.

Obviously they're not allowed to eat it, but it's nowhere near as bad as racists would have you think where even being in the presence of pork products is enough to make Muslims melt into the floor like the wicked witch.

Some Muslims really are like that. The ones who are, are usually from the more backward countries.

But Islam also says that if you're starving and pork is the only available food, eat the pork.

Alcohol, on the other hand, is a hard no.

Now in my view, I don't see how any religion that forbids carnitas can possibly be divinely inspired.

Even so, I've never met an Islamophobe who isn't a raving asshole, but I've met a number of Muslims who are good people, even if I don't agree with some of their religious prohibitions.

I work with some pretty chill Muslims, and some pretty chill Christians. I don't get why it's so hard for some people to just be respectful.

I just feel sorry for the Kirk family. They name their kid James, and he ends up a bigot.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Wait what did I miss?

we still have 203 years before the real James T Kirk is born. so we're safe
