  • When you’re done savoring the smell of your own farts, think about what you said. You went from claiming many people care more about the dog than they do the human murder victims, then you jumped to saying people didn’t care about the humans at all. These are very different things.

    Different people have different values, and these values are shaped by a variety of circumstances. I may not agree with these values or the reasoning behind them, but there are plenty of factors I can think of why some people who aren’t sociopaths may have a reaction like this to stories like these.

    In the end, it matters to me more that people care in this situation than why they care. Holier than thou purity testing only divides us further, so trying to understand where people are coming from before you generalize and write them off is a much better strategy if we want more allies to help in this mess. We’re going to need all we can get.



  • I’m a pet product specialist for a pet food manufacturer. I respond to customer emails, calls, and chats about our products. This could mean assisting pet owners in selecting products based on their pets’ unique medical or physiological needs, answering nutritional questions, handling complaints, and more. In my downtime I work on reference materials for the rest of the team, continuing education on animal nutrition (my last class was on avian flu in pet foods), and prepare promotional materials for expos and trade shows.

    On light days we do a lot of sharing memes, shit talking in group chat, dicking around on the Internet, and finding other creative ways to fuck off.


  • This is important to bring up. If we want to stop being subjected to this kind of fuckery, we need to unite and vote with our dollars. I love making egg-based dishes, but there are other options. The real problem is most people struggle with the idea of making sacrifices to get what they want later. Just don’t buy eggs as an average consumer if they are that unaffordable.

    In the United States, we are spoiled for choice when we shop. We’re used to being able to get what we want when we want it, and that’s led to a sense of entitlement. Eat other things, get creative. Look up effective substitutions for eggs in baking.

    We don’t have to take this. So don’t.









  • I’m having similar feelings. ICE is building an “office building” near me that conveniently has underground tunnels to transport office workers and high fences to keep these workers from leaving. I can’t tolerate this.

    The protesters in Hong Kong years ago inspired me to look into supportive tactics. Putting yourself in a position to help others helped me, and it may help you. Learning resistive tactics like combatting crowd suppression tactics was especially inspiring. We have to be ready to resist however we can.



  • I am a big fan of sparkling wine, and one of my favorite mid-range bottles (of legit champagne) is Veuve. A cheaper option I enjoy is Friexent’s Blac de Blancs.

    At least in my area, the prices have stayed pretty static. Whiskies that I enjoy have gone up, some more than others. The drop in alcohol sales definitely makes sense when it comes to this change, but I don’t necessarily believe that rising prices of champagne and sparkling wine is entirely at fault here.
