The few benefits of living in Idaho are that we’ve still got millions of acres of roadless, primitive wilderness and carrying guns is so normalized people grocery shop strapped like they’re expecting Billy the Kid to come for them. They are trying to parcel out our wildlands to the oligarchs and I expect MAGA will increasingly be coming for the guns of their enemies.

I appreciate the feedback on my attempt to translate this into late 20th century vernacular. The ego of Clavicular is timeless toxic masculinity, but I’m trying to find time sensitive descriptors that are but aren’t cliche.

I think I might have translated it for the older folks.
“Dude was totally shreddin’ the game at the club when a bunch of weebs rolled up and harsh’d the vibe.
So is it more gnarly to blow off the weebs while actin’ fly for the babes, or should he keep dropping poseur moves on the dance floor?”

A nice hike into the remote backcountry culminating in watching a sunset from somewhere scenic while enjoying some whiskey and a last PBR, then a shot of the ol’ .44 is my plan. Saves someone the trouble of cleaning up the mess, the hassle of having to hike up there to spread my ashes, and the coyotes get a free meal. It’s a win for everyone.

I thought My Sacrifice was about the double standard of being a supposed Christian rockstar but hanging with Kid Rock and getting bjs from the groupies.

But that would break the system that keeps the rich free and the poor incarcerated and even more impoverished. The rich suffer enough as it is when they commit a crime, judges consider how much their lawyers and crisis management PR firms bill and deduct that from the final fine. The poor get a free ride on public defenders. Won’t someone think of the rich’s feelings?!?

Myles is a real sack of shit that seeks high profile cases. Everyone, regardless of how heinous their crime, deserves good representation and due process. But the purpose of defense is not to get guilty clients off on technicalities or public sympathy, it’s to make sure they receive a fair trial and that the legal consequences fit the crime. Getting you ass-whipped by a crowd stopping you in the act and the public being disgusted with you as a human being are extra legal consequences that inevitably occur when you commit a crime and have no bearing on your defense or eventual sentence.
Myles also takes on cases of Proud Boys and crooked cops/prosecutors, so he’s got a type.
“Honolulu-based defense attorney Myles Briener has gained recognition in Hawaii for taking on high-profile clients and cases in recent years. In 2021, Breiner represented Nicholas Ochs, the founder of Hawaii’s Proud Boys chapter who landed in court in 2021 after his participation in the violence that took place at the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021. Breiner also represented Louis and Katherine Kealoha, a former police chief and deputy prosecutor in Honolulu who were indicted for bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, and drug charges in 2017.”

Suppliers meet a demand. Dismantle one, or all of them, and the demand will continue if the consumer’s attitude isn’t changed, it’ll just be a black market. There’s no formal crack industry but there’s still supply and demand. Blaming your meat eating on the existence of suppliers is one of the saddest blame shifts and lack of personal accountability statements I’ve ever read. Trying to convince me that if the industry was removed that humanity would accept it as the new norm is… unrealistic.
My abandoning of the moral high ground approach, which you suggested does not get people to change, is indeed a cocky spin on your words (I thought that was obvious) because you acknowledge it’s the moral high ground then demand to be left alone to indulge your derelict morality. If you concede moral superiority, prepare to be called out for your lower standards. Escalate with snark, get snark thrown back at you. Don’t like it? Go find some echo chamber where you don’t have to have your values challenged.
But quick question, you said to go after the industry, not people, but then agreed when I said the industry is people. So who exactly am I supposed to be targeting?

- Comment on Carnists be like... 5 days ago:
The “carnic industry” is the people, the suppliers and the consumers. You think dismantling a factory farm alone is going to end meat consumption? You’d still be out there finding a way to indulge, so the problem has to be dealt with at its source. Now some people might complain that killing humans in defense of animals is morally wrong, but taking the moral high ground has never worked for converting anyone.

When I go out to plant/weed I’ll open the coop door and yell “worm time” and my gals follow at my heels to get whatever treats I turn up. This is my first year with them and I can already tell the insect damage to my garden is greatly reduced. Thinking about adding guinea fowl and maybe some peafowl next year.
- Comment on Wowee 5 days ago:
In the purely speculative fiction mindset of “what if”, I am kinda fascinated by the idea that nature will eventually find a to deal with our hubris. We can make the planet uninhabitable for ourselves as we know ourselves and the other living beings we currently see living around us. Because we know this and are aware of the potential we should use that same awareness to lessen the impact, not just for ourselves but because there’s living being who can’t stop or lessen the impact of what we’re doing. But give the planet a few more hundred million years and on the off chance there’s still a hominid lineage kicking it, they won’t be Homo sapiens as we recognize them and while our plastics are unnatural, Mother Nature will eventually find a way to make due with what we’ve done or recycle it. That’s not nihilism or an excuse to not care/prevent, just the reality that we’re a brief moment in geologic time even if we’ve utterly fucked the current environment during our stay.

I know. As I pointed out to someone else the comment was more tounge in cheek than literal. It isn’t really an “island”. But since making the joke I’ve come to find out my joke actually undersells the volume. The area of accumulated waste is 5x the size of Poland even though it’s not actually forming a landmass 😞

That’s an insult to dogs. K9 cops are the only “cops” that don’t chose their career and the ones sent running headlong into danger, often without protective equipment, because their lazy handlers won’t risk their own skin. Punch a police dog (and you’re a bastard if you do); assault on an officer. Leave your “partner” locked inside the squad car to die during the summer (and you’re a bastard regardless); “tragic accident”.
