At the shelter. Today was a decent day. Managed to get the elusive bug fixed. Though, there's another one that's proving very difficult to fix.

The vegan restaurant and myself have diverged in our values and politics. As such, I decided to edit my review and include this as well. The manager/co-owner didn't even understand my point. And probably, readers of this post coming from a capitalist society won't understand it either; though here, people may start getting it judging from how politics is shaping up in the USA. That's ok. It's more for me rather than to obtain a reaction. A response is fine, but a reaction? I don't really seek that so I'm disinterested. I said in my review that besides the quality of the staff dropping (like just saying items are available for the sake of saying it and not actually being interested in serving your customer by actually checking if the item requested is available), the business is (as in any capitalist society) profits before people which reflects the leadership: you may eat there and feel fed, but you're not happy. The manager/co-owner got back to me using my shortened first name (sic!), telling me that I'm a regular customer having come for years and that the other place I recommended is ran by volunteers and this is the reason they've low prices (they're not, they're similar to theirs). Talk about putting your perspective on how things are and how it's unfortunate to have diverged, and what reply you get back. I didn't take offense as she doesn't seem to understand (didn't have expectations), what I did take offense on is her saying that reviews like mine are intended to hurt businesses. So I edited out that one should come there for a soup and a coffee perhaps, to leave this out and just recommended the alternative. As such, I've added the vegan restaurant to my blacklist and removed another from my blacklist. At the moment, there isn't a vegan place that's valuing being successful and having that human connection (that is, you make a decent living to afford the basics and entertain the small pleasures of life [that's what it's all about at the end of the day]: food, shelter, clothes, dispensables, and whatever tickles your hygge - perhaps chocolate, and/or coffee etc. And, of course, enjoying all this in connection, authentically, with other human beings from one to many by knowing how to meet your 12 needs). Not in the West, where I live, at least.

Now I need to find a place that serves soup to replace the vegan restaurant. It's harder than expected. A vegan soup is hard to find. Especially with the filter of it being nearby the library where I work.
