Why is this what we take from China, and not high speed rail (rhetorical)

I don't understand the scenario here. Typically, you only need the TOTP (time-based one-time password) from your 2FA app, enter it on your computer, and you can use the computer to access your resources. The app itself is actually not even supposed to be on the same device, as an added layer of security.

It sounds like you need 2FA to run your company's VPN (is that correct?). On your computer, you would launch the VPN, it'll ask you for the TOTP (which you get from Aegis on your phone), and then you're logged in and able to access company resources (on your computer).

Minecraft, Mini Metro/Mini Motorways, an endless runner like Race the Sun, a tower defense game like Rogue Tower, or maybe something with a lot of busy work like Factorio

You would think spam would at least make sense.

It's usually the opposite actually, to filter out anyone who might get savvy to the scam later on. Anyone who would be deterred by typos or weird inconsistencies would probably flake out when asked to send gift cards, download suspicious executables, etc., meaning the scammer would have wasted their time getting to that point. They only want the most gullible users, and anyone who follows through on really poorly written scams usually falls into that group.

In this case, I wouldn't be worried though -- looks like regular spam.

Personally, I don't avoid it. The FDA (if you're in the US) allows a certain amount of insect parts and other contaminants, and no labels list those. I assume if they're in there at all, it's really a minuscule amount. Plus, you aren't patronizing the factory, so you're only supporting the vegan brand that happens to use that factory.

I did end up taking it, but I think next year I'll look for the "Flucelvax Quadrivalent" vaccine that uses mammalian cells, and seems less harmful to living beings. I wouldn't consider myself directly responsible either, but if I have the option where I'm not indirectly responsible either, that seems even better to me.

Thank you for the link. The mammalian cell option seems like a good one, since it seems like no creatures are harmed to gather the cells. Or, at least, any harm is abstracted to an additional level.

I would say though, taking the vaccine is an active choice that I can weigh my options on, while unknowingly/mistakenly consuming insects is not. The latter is regrettable but unavoidable, so I wouldn't blame myself for that. To the best of my ability I want to avoid contributing to animal suffering, so part of living up to the "best of my ability" part is looking into alternatives in the one-off cases like this one.

Appreciate your input, thanks again

Sorry for trying to reduce animal suffering, and posting on a vegan board about it. If you don't understand the worldview, hold off on judgement

Read my post, I took the shot. I'm asking if others have gone out of their way to get a vegan option, and what their experience was. I'm not worried about others judging me, I don't want to use animal products unnecessarily.

 

I went to get my free flu shot at work today, and found out chicken eggs were involved in the process (I had to answer whether or not I was allergic to eggs before receiving the shot).

I asked if they had any alternatives, and they said they didn't because they were too expensive. I ended up getting the flu shot they offered.

Do you get the standard flu shot, or a vegan variant? How much do you pay, if the latter, and where can you find it?

 

I'M SO TIRED OF FINDING RANDOM PRODUCTS WITH "INGREDIENTS: CRUELTY"
