Well... it's not really? If you're that attached to the flavour and/or texture of meat, it's pretty easy to acquire spot-on imitations these days. So much so that some of them are disturbingly realistic; I remember once freaking out at a certain local pub thinking I'd been served a meat dish by mistake (this is back when I was merely vegetarian), only to learn that their kitchen is apparently staffed by sorcerers or something.

At least in some places, cities especially. I've no idea what range of vegan options are available where you're at.



Anyway! New mild sad: apparently my cousin-something-removed-or-whatever with the hilarious nickname lost out on becoming a judge in the general elections over there.

Small sad of the day: So many things here in Switzerland are so expensive.

I realized I didn't pack my deodorant. That stick of smelly stuff can be had for $1-$5 in the states. Here? CHF 17-26. Never thought I'd pay for something with a 50-note and only get a bit over half back in change.

[Gentlefish]

Hopefully that means the pay's a little better over there.

That or people are just that much smellier in Switzerland.

I choose to believe this.

It's the cheese.

I call your belief and raise that it is not the Swiss that are smellier, but that all humans who cross the Swiss border become spontaneously smellier.

Combination of both, likely. I've been here for four days and have only now tried the slightly nauseating but tasty substance known as käsesalat.

Ran nearly two and a half kilos. I think my lungs are trying to leave the building.

[Yoink]

You ran off two kilograms in one go? How far did you run?!

[Kagus]

You ran off two kilograms in one go? How far did you run?!

All of it.

[Arx]

FAR ENOUGH

It wouldn't be in my best interests to lose that much weight anyway, I have barely any body fat as-is.

Question: is kilo used as short for kilometre in South African English?

[Arx]

Frequently so, since it's unusual to have a situation where it's ambiguous whether you mean weight or distance.

[Reelya]

idk about elsewhere, but in Australia, kilos unambiguously means kilograms, and we say 'k's' (kays) for distance.
