Soup is bad food.

Well that’s just the issue isnt it. Blindly following the dark woman may not lead to immediate change. But it leaves the option open that change might still be achievable one day soon. You rest your faith in democracy which you fail to see it is in peril. The boat is sinking whether you will it or not. Prior to living the ideal where you’re free to chart the course you must needs ensure there still is a boat left to steer. The best way to ensure there is a time where third party candidates can be taken seriously is to swallow your pride and accept that this is for all practical purposes a binary election. Smug idealism might make you feel better for the moment; like you “did” something. But all you’ve done is push your dream further away. It takes courage to admit the system is broken and fixing it sometimes requires a grimace. I hope you find that courage.

The ship sank and you’re in a lifeboat with 40 other people. The lifeboat is slowly taking on water. You can see an island about a mile away. You’re aware there’s a woman on that island that you think would be a great leader and help everyone. At one end of your lifeboat is a loud man in an orange life vest. He’s shouting at the 20 people in his end of the boat to ignore the leak and row out to sea. At the other end of the lifeboat is a dark woman who has convinced the twenty people in her end of the boat to bail like crazy and row toward the island. At the moment the boat is going nowhere. It appears that your actions will tip the balance. You look left. You look right. What do you do?

So far the only thing you are doing is stamping your feet and proclaiming that you are going to ignore everyone in the boat and just wave your arms at the island. You don’t like the dark woman, but you’re too blind to see that following her for the moment until everyone is out of danger is the only action that leads to the island.

Did you see Lawrence Welk last night?

What about when businesses commit criminal acts?

Shame that you value your life so little that you wasted a part of it typing that out.

yelp is still a thing?

What is a ‘tankie’?

In the year of the cat.

We shouldn’t make jokes at their expanse.

It seems one out of every ten women find guys who like porn attractive.

One might argue that a two-party system (with the electoral college the way it is) is not a democracy

Some warning words in job listings:

• “hit the ground running” : there’s no time or people to train you, you have a day to learn the whole system.
• ”we’re looking for a rock star…” : the one guy who knew how it all worked rage quit, we need someone who can do it all
• ”open to graduate engineers” : we don’t want to pay a high salary for an experienced engineer so we’ll pay you peanuts to (hopefully) do the same role.
• ”As a world leader in…” : few have heard of us before, including you
• “…fast paced environment …” : We don’t have enough people, would rather not spend the money , prepare to do three roles at once
• “work hard, and play hard” : No play just work, 16 hour days. Once every 6 months HR will plan a mandatory rock climbing event (on a Saturday)
• ”…Remote flexibility” : You can work at home one day per month if it’s snowing otherwise we need you to commute in for every 15 minute meeting
• “You will lead a multi-disciplined team…” : a collection of odds and sods who can’t communicate or get anything done. That’s why there’s an opening
• “…family oriented business…” : We’ll call you with problems any hour of the night, your scheduled vacations are subject to cancellation, if you resign we need 6 months notice, then we’ll still call you at your new job for advice.
• ”We are the innovators” : we need you to juice up our also-ran bland product line
• Any mention of onsite food or catering means they want you working while eating lunch
• ”An opportunity has arisen” : Someone said fuck this I’m out.
• If it’s a job with little contact with customers or clients and they still mention casual Fridays, avoid
• ”You should have ten years experience in Ratfuck XBumpick version 2.3 (1997 edition) and 8 years experience in Tard Tool Power Edition DOS” : We’ll consider you if understand numbered lists in Word.
• ”You enjoy new challenges every day…” : The rest of us just want to get the fuck out of here at 5 o clock and go home.

Unprocessed milk is much healthier and tastier than processed milk… but only if the cows graze on grass. The problem with unprocessed milk isn’t the milk itself; people have been drinking it for thousands of years. The problem with unprocessed milk is risk of contamination. When bottling it, It needs a clean environment, clean cows, attention to the health of the cows, and as a failsafe, pathogen testing. Mass production of milk in the US’s current environment of aged, sick, corn-fed, hormone-dosed cows standing in cages in their own excrement is not conducive to unprocessed milk. It’s so filthy that pasteurisation is a must. Creating and maintaining a clean environment, healthy appropriately fed herd, and testing, for the production of unprocessed milk is not economically viable at mass scale. If you want to produce millions of gallons of milk per annum, you unfortunately need dense cages. You need to keep your expenses low so you feed them cheap corn feed which they’re not designed to eat. This lowers their immunity so that they often get sick, and have mastitis. So you have to load them up with antibiotics. They remain unhappy and unexcercised cows with poor quality milk which often contains a percentage of pus.

Smaller farmers and operations can often invest the time and money to do what’s necessary to produce clean unprocessed milk from healthy cows in a clean environment. In my country we have vending machines on farms for unprocessed milk. And each batch has a testing and pathogen report posted to verify it’s good and healthy.

In the US, the mass milk producers would rather everyone think that unprocessed milk is inherently dangerous, rather than a solveable issue surrounding process and scale.

Can you see that hammer and sickle on your pin?

Uncle Putin is very proud of you.

For someone who’s upset about murder, you don’t seem to have a problem with murder. Advocating violence is grounds for a ban from this sub.

We should, but they need to be American candidates not Russian assets.
