I majored in Wildlife Science - nearly every class had a practical lab attached (so we would be tramping through the woods looking at plants/practicing setting traps/doing turtle surveys). If anyone tried being that Wacky and Quirky, I think the rest of the lab section would have unanimously voted to leave them there, since that would have just added extra time to the lab (which were usually at least a couple hours, if not longer).

Honest question: What career do you go into with that major? Park ranger? Environmental scientist? Crazy woods hermit?

Pretty much all of the above - the federal hiring freeze kinda screwed a large portion of my graduating class over, since the federal government's a pretty large employer there. Some of my classmates got jobs working with state agencies managing nongame populations or restoring natural habitats or performing hunter surveys to prevent overharvesting of game species, stuff like that. I've personally been trying to get a job working in animal care, but I've taken classes that reflect that - Animal Behavior, Wildlife Diseases, Herpetology, etc.

The basics - where they were from, what they were in town for, their opinions on the construction going on downtown... (The lab where we did reptile/amphibian surveying were really interesting - we learned about the different methods of marking the animals we captured, how to recognize potential biases or patterns in the captured individuals to account for age or sex groups that may be more prone to capture, how to extrapolate the survey to estimate the total population in the area, etc.)

If anyone's interested in asking any more questions, feel free to message me - I don't like causing derails!

That was written by someone who is aware that cooking, like, exists, in theory, but has never actually eaten food or been around a source of heat. But they want to fit in with all the regular above ground human people real bad, and all their research shows that "dinner" is integral to that.

Also, always help yourself to a stranger's crying baby. Unlike regular mum you have special mummy powers and can make all babies stop crying at will.

So not giving any credence to this particular stdh, but recently when I went to Publix (southeastern US grocery store), specialty grapes were expensive as gently caress. Bought a bag of cotton candy grapes that ended up being $9.50.

It doesn't excuse this idiot, but puts it in perspective if they're buying premium grapes.

And before anyone asks, cotton candy grapes are baller as gently caress, and I will fight anyone who thinks otherwise

Yeah, that's why you don't buy expensive premium heritage organic grapes when you're povvo. When you're povvo you buy cheap in season fruit and veg and homebrand/store brand bread and toilet paper instead of the $6 a loaf/$3 a roll nice poo poo. I understand this, my brother doesn't, which is why even though we are earning the same wage I always pay my electricity bills on time and he doesn't.

Also, if you spend $15 on Macca's instead of $30, you won't be as fat AND will have spent less money too.

Food deserts are a thing, but if Cracker McWhitebread is spending $32 on grapes they're probably not living in one.

I say this as someone who is broke most of the time and just hosted friends for $20. Got three types of cheese, Concord grapes, blackberries, strawberries, and golden kiwi. I even went to a fancy market that just opened up in my crumby neighborhood.

You figure it was 2 bucks for the nuts, maybe another 2 for the soda, so that means they spent $28 on a pineapple, grapes, and raspberries. Maybe they went to one of those Japanese luxury fruit stores.

Don't know why, but this reminds me of some middle class fuckwit who got himself on food stamps, and then went and bought lobster with them.

To somehow prove that all people on welfare are eating lobster and drinking champagne and storing both in *gasp* their fancy fridges.

And as someone who has lived in food deserts, povvo kids growing up in food deserts are generally miserable little skeletons who get child services called on their mums because, guess what, you don't get fat when all you've had to eat the whole day is one tin of <$1 spaghetti.

Being time poor or having young kids who shriek if they don't get cartoon-endorsed snacks and soft drinks and sugary breakfast cereals and fast food, those are very very valid reasons why it's easier to buy Macca's or put the kids in front of the TV/iPad with a bag of chips. It's often cheaper to make a nice healthy dinner but it takes time and effort when all you want to do is sit down and not have to deal with any more of the world's bullshit.

I don't think that's possible, I got denied for food stamps because I "made too much money" ($500 a month) soooo...

I may be wrong, but I remember an article he wrote about it. I think he was a student or some such. He was some smug right wing type trying to make a "bloody welfare queens" type point.
