I used to be very opposed to deer hunting. Until I took a biology course and there was some discussion about how humans have eliminated, or nearly eliminated all their natural predators in the United States.

The way their population ends up being controlled in the absence of those predators is disease, famine, and cars. Unless we hunt them sufficiently in areas where wolves in particular have been eliminated.

If you are hunting and wasting the resources of an animal you’ve culled, it’s absolutely unethical. But if you’re using all of the resources you can provide by the animal, and you’re hunting in an area where the only natural population control mechanisms are famine and disease, I’d argue that’s the most ethical way you can hunt in a modern society.

Capitalism has zero place in healthcare.

It can never be a “free market” only ever coerced.

Burn it down (the financial apparatus, not the hospitals, duh) and empty the accounts of the “owners.”

“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

Nobody’s more privileged than this Apartheid Emerald Mine Failson.

I one hundred percent believe that Scott Adams was hypnotized by a LLM.

I was super precious about all my cast iron for a long time. Then I had a thought watching this “cowboy” YouTuber wash his cast iron with some specialty thing.

“This fucking guy is like pretending to be out on the pasture or whatever. In the actual 1800s, this shit was probably just wiped out, or they used lye soap or something ridiculous! Why the fuck am I being so fucking careful?!?”

Now I do not care, like I’ve had my shit get rusty, crusty, “overheated”, the reality is that it’s a big ass chunk of metal! Short of deformation or intentional or extreme neglect (leaving it in the rain uncovered for 40 years) you will not destroy it.

If it gets too “sticky”, you oil it up and heat it, and bingo, it’s fine again.

If you ever find yourself reaching for the phrase “unwashed masses” unironically, you’re the baddy.

We should be lauding Elon Musk for dispelling the notion that the wealthy have any inherent superiority to anyone else. He keeps proving it over and over and over.

Thank you Elon, for being yourself and proving, once and for all, that anyone can be a billionaire, all you have to do is benefit from the exploitation of apartheid.
