Small-Scale Question Sunday for November 30, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Has anyone ever met a conservative, atheist, vegan before? I have this friend that is all 3 and he feels like such a niche character. 1 in 2k? 1 in 10k? I'm not sure, but I'm informally curious how many folks with this similar set of beliefs there are out there. Particularly how many are women. As this topic is related to finding a mate with compatible values, and I think if he sticks to requiring them to meet his values, he's going to die alone.

I have met one. Male, retired marine. Very very Covid obsessed(which is why I don’t still know him). He was married, held social policy views which could have fit in with either party, but supported republicans because he homeschooled his kids and loved guns.

Has your friend tried dating vegan hippie chicks and convincing them of whatever he agrees with the GOP on?

I think the overriding problem is that hippie chicks are progressive and this man is too autistic enough to not immediately bring up where they disagree or entertain the idea of not talking about politics long enough for them to develop feelings and then slowly bring it up.

I have met one.

Do you know if his wife was vegan? I'm assuming this was from before the time of hyper-polarized politics that dogs these past two decades?

This was the late 2010’s. His wife was vegan, they were pretty into environment and animal stuff and they were homeschooling for partly that reason.

Plenty of eccentrics in the trades. Usually more of the white nationalism and a pet monkey version, but still.
