  • Ok. Why laugh? Are you amused? Didn’t seem like it.

    Set boundaries. Don’t laugh if it’s not funny. Some people like pushing buttons… Your buttons in this case.

    “That’s not funny. I don’t appreciate those kinds of comments.”

    Have you tried that? Cuz usually when people stick up for themselves they don’t need other people to do it for them.

    How about “Stop. I won’t tolerate this harassment.”

    And body language is important here. You don’t smile. You don’t laugh. You look at them with a look of disgust and contempt. “If looks could kill.”

    And then you go talk with HR. And then HR has a talk with them.

    Good luck!








  • That’s not really an argument for veganism. It’s a moral accusation masquerading as a premise. It assumes that eating animals necessitates “harming others” in a morally relevant sense, then uses that assumption to characterize everyone who disagrees as someone who approves of exploiting vulnerable beings. That’s basically begging the question with a side order of moral condemnation.

    I knew this woman that claimed she was vegan. She was interested in aquaponics. Raising fish for food and using the effluent as fertilizer. Not that she would eat the fish. No, because she’s vegan! She was happy to sell the fish to somebody who would, though. She was also interested in raising chickens for their eggs as well as meat chickens for slaughter. Not that she eats eggs or chicken, but she has no problem exploiting chickens and selling their eggs and corpses.

    Your purity test is wanting, IMO. As you phrased it it seems pulling weeds could become an ethical crisis.
