“I’m an incredibly cruel and shallow asshole that demands that everyone conforms to my beauty standards and my love for a woman will only ever be skin deep and transactional. Why can’t I keep a gf?”

Gad damn, even the dudes on that site that have girlfriends are miserable and hate their perfect waifu the moment they change slightly physically (or don’t change enough if the dude suddenly decided he likes a different aesthetic). They’ll complain that women only date muscular men, then complain when women don’t date muscular men. They’ll complain about “ugly” women but at the same time complain that they themselves aren’t attractive enough to get girls. They’re incredibly shallow while complaining that every woman they date is shallow. The lengths they go to avoid self-reflection must be wild.

The misunderstanding of The Substance in particular made me laugh. The film is critiquing the exact shallow obsessions these dorks chase, and instead of taking a step back and asking themselves “Are we the baddies?” They just whine about how it’s not a film about how hard it is for men to go through rejection. As if their isn’t already a million things like that in media, and as if it’s only men that go though embarrassing dating troubles.

Anyway here’s a link to the site if you hate yourself: https://inshapetoday.com/

    I’d be careful with that statement without a citation. Beans and rice is famously a complete AA profile, but vegans also famously need B12 supplemented unless you are deliberately eating specific foods.

    The Vitamin B12 contents of soybeans are low or undetectable. However, a fermented soybean-based food called tempe contains a considerable amount of Vitamin B12 (0.7–8.0 μg/100 g) [40]. Bacterial contamination during tempe production may contribute to the increased Vitamin B12 content of tempe [41]. Other fermented soybean products contain minute amounts of Vitamin B12 [42,43].

      Unsolicited anti-vegan concern trolling. This isn’t a question about B-12, which is an easy supplement to do. Where do you think your pigs and chickens get their B-12? Yes, the same supplements.

        I apologize. I didn’t mean to be anti-vegan. I was trying to be helpful and offer an answer to the question that was being posed.

        Edit: Oh fuck I see what I did. B12 is related but uninvovled with the amino acid profile. I’m trolling.

          It’s cool. I really appreciate the response. Sorry if I was a bit harsh, vegans get the “oh you can’t be vegan because X” thing several times a week, and the previous comment about not being able to do just beans upped my adrenaline a bit.

          Anyhow, thanks for making this best community on the internet. Really.
