Mayor Dave posted:I would never call myself vegan bc the people who are hardcore about it are wild and I want no part of that, like I know honey isn't technically vegan but come on, beekeeping is integral to our current ag systems and its so silly to act like it's ok to eat the things they pollinate but not the honey they produce i mostly stopped eating beef because it costs megabucks now but i'm not gonna pass up the 10lb pack of chicken leg quarters for 67c/lb, that's cheaper than beans

i missed hitting a deer on the interstate by like half a second and the pickup truck in the next lane slightly behind me nailed it, i was like "oh gently caress did i almost hit something" then look in the mirror and there's the front half of a confused looking deer and an absolutely gore covered truck with the airbags popped. they pulled over safely but drat that was gross

i did some work with a political party that has veganism as a core tenet (i'm not, which is why i quit, every time i bought eggs/milk/dog food i was living in fear that someone would recognise me at the supermarket). all the vegans had grey skin and huge dark circles under their eyes and none of them could finish a thought coherently. like they were all intelligent people, but all had the same issue with no attention span and losing concentration halfway through their sentences, so every meeting would just devolve into incoherent rambling. their focus also made me realise that there's a whole vegan industrial complex that is based upon avoiding conflict with farmers. this party was meant to be about animal rights, and obviously the worst abusers of animal rights are farmers, but they were terrified of farmers because they have guns, so instead of touching that issue at all they just fixated on creating ever greater variety and purity of vegan food products to be consumed so that the lifestyle would be more appealing to the public, which would somehow make the meat/egg/dairy industry just... disappear? none of them had any insight into the environmental footprint of vegan products, either. it was hugely frustrating.

cars were a mistake. I had to go get my brain scanned a while ago and a herd of deer had all got pulverized it was pretty insanely hosed up. Had to have been like 20, just obliterated all over the place. To shreds.

Dog Case posted:Fun little tie in, the "Whidbey Island Station" they provided as the location for this story is the same navy base that's currently providing a bunch of people with bottled water because decades of firefighting foam practice/leaks have contaminated the groundwater with pfas Don’t be negative, maybe PFAS-saturated groundwater is better for fighting wildfire tornados. It’s like everybody gets their own free fire department! That’s a happy story, let’s assume that’s true and never check

Honey isn't vegan because commercial bee farming is awful, they replace all the honey with HFCs and other sugar replacements which means the bees don't get the proper nutrients. They also clip the wings of the queen bees and/or glue them in place so the hive can't just up and gently caress off. Not a vegan myself but mass farming of any animal is fuckin gross and this includes bees. If there's a resource to be exploited in the worst way possible, humans have found a way to do it.

On the other hand, bees that are currently useful for honey could bee just dead from whatever's killing them without much notice in an alternate vegan universe that is otherwise identical. In this one we noticed (and did basically nothing about it) anyway we aren't eating the bees, that seems like an important distinction to make

We have people near us who do ethical bee keeping by only taking "excess" honey in the spring once the colony has survived the winter on their own stores.

Raising hens is a good hobby. They're basically cats with wings. They remember and recognize faces and voices, enjoy affection, and generally behave as dinosaurs around the yard eating grass/bugs. Plus you get eggs of a quality that matches what you feed them! I wish roos were legal and socially acceptable to keep in an urban environment. The boys deserve a happy life, too. There's a group in Chicagoland called The Roo Crew that adopts and finds rural homes for roosters when they can, and keeps them in love when they can't.

I have like two dozen teenage roosters right now and I wish I could give them all nice homes but I think they're just going to get professionally processed this fall when they're more grown. They're all half Brahma so they grow a little slow and take their time hitting maturity. Hatching chickens from my own eggs is so much fun but I don't sex and cull the baby rooster chicks and this is where it gets me.
