I can see where your in-law's coming from, but to put a finer point on it:

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

That's why vegans aren't interested in "cruelty free" animal products. It's not just the fact that there is still a lot of cruelty involved; we're opposed to animal exploitation regardless. Veganism naturally came out of the animal rights movement.

This sounds like BS. I can't tell the difference between a burger cooked in my cast iron vs. an ordinary skillet. Once, there was a lingering odor of turmeric from a scramble I made, and I think some of the flavor got into food I cooked afterwards, but it didn't last.

Maybe slow down and read more thoroughly instead of making assumptions about what I mean. I get this is "ADHD Memes", but that's just a really weird and uncharitable interpretation of what I wrote.

Sure, I guess so. But here you are saying "I wish I could start literally anything at all", and then you immediately talk about literally starting something. You clearly can start some things. I don't think that watching anime and YouTube is time wasted.

This is a pretty deep question, and there's a lot of debate about it. I'm still on the fence, myself.

You can start YouTube or anime, though?

The pyramids were not built by enslaved people.

Wrong.

This isn't about women.

What part of "male loneliness epidemic" implies that the friends must be women?

I don't care what gender my friends are. I just want some people who I can hang out with and have fun. Like in college. Why isn't that an option anymore?

She sounds high. That isn't a good excuse, though!

I don't know that there are many people I would describe as "relaxing". There was one dude I knew in college who was high all the time. He was pretty relaxing, I guess.

I'm assuming what they mean is the guy isn't setting off any red flags.
