The Dutch liberal (classical; libertarian) party VVD wants to ban companies from calling their product "vegetarian [meat product]" because "if it says sausage sandwich, it should contain some sausage". They think the names are misleading.
A journalist tweets in response:
"Very confusing when VVD people are reffered to as liberals. Maybe ban that too?"

Re: The Tavern
Kind of a stupid and silly question, but: Do you guys think internet memes are a worthwhile method of promoting veganism? I've seen some people say that they became communists because of communist memes, so I wonder if the same could apply to veganism.

Definitely. Just see how popular Vegan Sidekick is. In this day and age where everyone has a 2 second attention span, memes are excellentCirion Spellbinder wrote:Kind of a stupid and silly question, but: Do you guys think internet memes are a worthwhile method of promoting veganism?

3 Doors Down is playing at Trump's inaugural concert? Wtf!
I used to kind of like that band. O_O
"I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon."
Yeah that's what happened when Trump was elected President.
"But I feel there's nothing I can do."
Well, I can change the channel.
They sound kinda shitty live anyway.

Re: The Tavern
Kryptonite was fun in GH5. While I dislike that they'd associate themselves with the Donald, I'm not going to religously avoid them now like I've heard some people on other forums saying they'd do. I do wonder if their career/popularity will take a hit from this, though I could see the reverse happening too, and they haven't had a hit in a while so I'm guessing that they thought that they didn't have much to lose with doing this.

It seems that Greenpeace actually was useful at its beginnings.

I didn't see anywhere on here talking about this, but The Vegan Atheist is back. Here's the video about returning to doing YT vids: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OjpKDqQb1Xk
