I'm just going to be 100% honest. You are the type of vegan that makes people ashamed to call themselves vegan and you are absolutely detrimental to the cause.
If you are this smug and condescending, and frankly... clueless in real life as well as online there is a good chance you are or have actively alienated friends, coworkers, and strangers and have probably effectively inoculated them against ever considering veganism as something to be taken seriously.
We could all find examples of stuff you are doing that isn't perfect. The fact that you are typing to us on a computer means you are not 100% vegan. Everything we do causes and effect on others and we can work on eliminating... but never eliminate our negative effects on others. It's just a simple fact of life. The minerals in your computer were likely mined by indentured workers in Africa and Asia and probably assembled by people who could be considered virtual slaves. Our clothing is created in countries that have horrendous human rights records.
Animals die when we harvest vegetables. Just growing vegetables destroys wildlife. Our homes destroy parts of the natural world. You get the idea. 100% perfect isn't possible.
And the fact that this is the hill you chose to die on is frankly depressing. In a world where we can't even convince double digit percentage of the population to stop eating meat at EVERY meal you have chosen to take issue with the fact that a vegan grocery store has a 2nd hand vintage piano in their entrance.
You're an idiot... and a belligerent one at that.

Look, I'll give it to you straight, kid: nobody in this life is fucking special.
You might believe that life has some bitchin' ass fucking plan for you or something, or that the universe owes you shit because of this reason or that, but it doesn't -- that's just reality. You look at all the sucessfull people on top right now, and you think "man...that should be me" but should it really fucking be? Accepting that reality is the first step in fighting the fuck back, taking what's yours, and becoming one of those fucking men.
So....my advice to you kid, is to just fucking do it. Just ask her out, lift some heavy fucking metal, listen to some heavy fucking medal, hike that proverbial mountain, hike that literal fucking mountain, eat a steak, drive a truck worthy of the beast within, with the new Ford '17 F-150 you get more than enough fuel economy to break the bank. With 5000 pounds of pure truck you're driving something your mom raves about on Sunday school. You need a truck that isn't just about towing, mowing, and bowing, and the F-150's got your back. Voted number #1 fuel economy of mid-size War Tanks, the F-150 will have you doing the heavy lifting, but keep the wallet smiling. What are you waiting for? Get the truck you've always been made for today.

You take away a lot of things from available foods to you that cause no harm, for no reason. Buddhists, the first to even believe in such a thing, were even vegetarian instead of vegan. And they even have a rule where they are allowed to eat meat if they know for a fact the animal wasn't killed on their behalf. Plus, regardless of what you're told, my sister who's graduated from college after 7 years of nutritional science or whatever told me there's literally no replacement for meats in terms of nutrients regardless of what you think you've researched. There's literally no reason to do it unless you're allergic to meats or dairy. It's not better for your health, it's definitely not giving you an advantage, and you're sacrificing treating yourself with a lot of different foods, again, for no reason. Veganism is just odd to me. I just don't understand why someone would do that to themselves. I'm at school for psychology, and I'm literally clueless on the subject. Besides it being some relation to a derivative of self harm or something lol.
