It was just because Drinkmates can carbonate anything that isn't pulpy and Sodastream can only do water, you have to add any flavoring or anything afterwards and mix it

I bought a .40 XDM when I was like 21 because guns were cool, and I have taken it out and fired it maybe five times in the last decade lol I did buy a semi-auto shotgun though because sporting clays fuckin owns (I have had that for three years and used it just as many times lmao)

Clay shooting *loving owns* though and although I’m mostly anti-private gun ownership (really just anti-unregulated ownership) I wish I had a place to shoot clays.

Hunting is cool and good so hunting rifles/shotguns are cool but gently caress off with that tactical/semi-auto/auto bullshit. That poo poo has no place in society, imo. Hand guns can go too.

All I'll say on the matter is that any gun law needs to be unilateral and not have police exemptions. That's not going to happen so here we are. Dammit now I'm getting mad about the current administration completely undercutting Black Lives Matter and it's not even noon here.

i've never been hunting in my life and have fired a gun maybe 5 or 6 times. I could see myself getting into hunting but only if I also learned how to dress it, skin it, butcher it etc. I'd also never want to hunt something bigger than a deer. I could never sit in a high hide surrounded by doe in heat and just pick poo poo off. that strikes me as barbaric, cruel, and frankly boring. This is to say nothing of big game hunters who are the scum of the earth and deserve it every time they get trampled or mauled to death.

I love fresh caught walleye and eat so much of it in the summer. I don't really hunt because I didn't grow up doing it so I can't dress it and I don't care for venison. I do occasionally hunt pleasant because that's really fun and it's tasty. I'd hunt coyotes because they suck and I wouldn't feel bad about controlling that population. I did once shoot a beaver that took down a dozen trees over the span of a week.

Yeah, if you're hunting something you aren't planning to eat you can gently caress right off, but unless you're vegetarian/vegan I think it's pretty hard to argue against hunting for food.

There’s a minor bit of scuttlebutt here in CO because one of the commissioners on our wildlife board was basically harassed off of the committee by hunters for not being “pro-hunter” enough, despite being a hunter himself. The big lobbying groups here have been captured by sports hunters who only want Parks and Wildlife to focus on keeping game animal populations high at the cost of both the flora and the predators that are at risk in the state. We introduced wolves back to the Northwest corner of the state last year and these people flipped their loving lids. In their eyes the state should just be one giant game preserve that they can use to pop elk at their leisure and they loving suck. I firmly believe that hunting is a critical part of maintaining the ecosystem because we’ve knocked it out of balance in so many other ways, but these tools are going to gently caress around and wind up with much more onerous restrictions than if they had just been reasonable about it. Unfortunately a lot of the worst people seem to be from out of state so they’ll just spend their money loving up the food chain in Wyoming or Utah instead.

we got rid of the wolves and now we have to hunt deer and aren't doing it enough (but really we need to get the wolves back, because hunting deer human-style doesn't change their behavior the way wolves do, and we need them to stop eating the growth margins of our forests so they can regenerate) beaver are another keystone species and we actually need them to chop down trees and mess with our waterways, to massively increase the habitat and diversity of those waterways as well as increase the capacity of the environment to absorb and control floods which also reduces rates of erosion in the rivers which reduces silt buildup in the channels at ports that we keep having to dig out and also makes the agricultural runoff problem worse, but again with the beavers we'd have to actually let our rivers and streams behave naturally and that'd inconvenience people who buy property along those waterways because sometimes their house might not be ideally situated lewis & clark said beaver tail was the most delicious thing they'd ever eaten though so I kinda want to try it, if there was some way to ethically do that (there isn't)

Wyoming reintroduced wolves almost 30 years ago, has a population of 300+ wolves, and in 2022 had under 100 heads of livestock lost to wolves. Colorado also has a program to reimburse any farmers for livestock lost to the wolves that were reintroduced.

My dad used to have to wake up at 2-3 in the morning to kill them because they would tear EVERYTHING up in his yard. That's one thing I've never heard of, armadillo gumbo, although I'm sure someone's made it at some time.
