It’s like the second coming of Harambe, only the kid is a woman, Harambe is a bear and the guy shooting Harambe is a guy.

- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
Some ideas on the topic.
I’ve only met vegans on social media. The vocal minority preaching vegan lifestyle is delusional. Outside of it, it’s still corporations doing their best to make a profit. The regular person just eats quietly and lives their life. The requirements and costs are pittance only in their idealistic view of the world. “If only people would just …” No. They won’t. We are where we are because people don’t. Everyone wants the world to go their way and we kill each other for it.
As an omnivore animal, I eat what my budget allows. Sometimes it’s meat, sometimes it’s vegetables and sometimes it’s cardboard. Just like the wild life, eating plastic bags because they taste yummy. Social media vegans seem to be either the ones that can afford to be picky or can’t afford anything else.
Simple truth is that life can always be better, people can always do more and most of us simply don’t want to.

- Comment on So we currently have all these left wing folks claiming men are more dangerous than bears, why is the same group pushing multi gender washrooms so hard? 2 weeks ago:
Then there is the fact that if I was attacked by a bear, no one would tell me I was making it up. I wouldn’t be asked what I was wearing, if I was drunk, or what I had done to provoke the bear
They are wrong about the latter part. Whenever there’s a bear attack, I almost always hear someone asking “What the hell did that idiot do to piss off the bear?”.
- What you’re wearing depends on the scent it’s carrying. If your clothes smell like food, don’t go wandering around bear-infested woods.
- Drunk people fooling around with bears is far too common to be ignored as a question.
- Only people who’ve observed bears for a long period of time can accurately say what provokes a bear to attack and the ones I’ve asked have said that sometimes you’re just shit out of luck.
A bear encounter isn’t as clear cut as the text you’re quoting would like. Because they do avoid people normally, so meeting one means something is definitely wrong. Good luck figuring out what though.
- Comment on Why are male social workers so different? 2 weeks ago:
Probably unlucky.
Try to recall whether you acted uncomfortable in your initial interaction with them. The first one due to surprise of them being the first male social worker working on your case. The second due to the unpleasantness with the former. The first impression usually sets the tone of a conversation, so there may have been a misunderstanding which then solidified into prejudice.
Or they were jaded asshole. Who knows.

Every time you shower or take a bath, your water betrays you for a quick hookup. Water only has loyalty to water.
- Comment on trapped! 2 weeks ago:
That’s not a what if, it’s a when. Might not happen suddenly, but our air quality and ability to breathe it is going down fast the longer pollution reigns supreme. Air becoming a luxury is a real threat that money owners happily ignore.

With the human body being in most part water, it’s like you’re giving it reins over you freely.

Stargate has an episode like that. With sort of zombies. It’s great! You should watch it.
Stargate Atlantis also has a similar one. With fog instead.

They’re like a movie for me as well, but I’m directing, filming and acting in them. You could say I’m on set, creating scenes and playing them out.
- Comment on Cow 1 month ago:
Possibly influenced by movies and games, I’m not-me in my dreams all the time. I’ve been all kinds of people, animals, aliens, non-corporeal entities etc, but as soon as I realize it’s happening, not-me instantly becomes me.
