Absolutely! This is the one part where I diverge from most vegans. I am not conceptually against meat, but I am completely against it in the context of the modern hyper exploitative system. And I suspect the indigenous folks that harvest salmon would be to.

The reason they have had to much issues with that over the years is because some bastard came in and decided to try and scrape the rivers clear of salmon because they could get $2 a head or whatever.

Alas, in the modern system, as soon as you put a dollar price on something, it no longer remains that thing. If you are paid $10 per tree cut-down, you see a forest and nothing but money. When a salmon can get you a dollar, you just seen dollar bills floating in the river. Money is a useful tool to allow trade to happen smoothly but at this extreme end is is the lubricant of ‘The machine’ and it will consume everything it can.

Now how on earth could that create any kind of performance anxiety?

In Oz of all places, we love pineapple here! The question starts to become, what is Italian culture? What is culture itself?

Wheat flour for the base originated in the middle east, tomatoes are from South America. Every culture is a melting pot of other cultures. Stop clinging to the identity of a culture and just enjoy the fruit of this collaboration.

Pineapple on pizza, bring it! The Californian sushi roll is from Canada and Salmon in sushi comes from Norway. It is all just one big mix of the world, the world is a globe it has no boarders.

Don’t eat salmon, they deserve to live as well.

Remember, cast iron isn’t land fill, it is an heirloom.

Ah that explains it! No lead would survive the initial casting but using it for that after the fact makes sense.

Spot on! Youth should power and drive the future, the elders should avoid the pitfalls they made themselves.

Age has nothing to do with it, they are cooked from the early years and then they age.

It used to be thought that age was a virtue. The Senate originates from the latin Senatus ‘Assembly of the Senior’. This was because the elders were considered wise, not so sure about it nowadays.

That said, now is the time to become the elders you never had.

RFK appears to be holding in his entire family’s rage. Might just explode while giving a talk one day.

The Phile-pile.

Back in the early days of WWW, there was a great site called File-pile. It ended up closing down because it was basically just a thousand assorted FTP’s compiled together than the link rot was pretty bad towards the end.

“But my convenience!” 🤮

Buht them be burd blenders!!! 😵‍💫

Best argument for no public trading of most companies.

In the time Steam has been a thing, Microsoft has been three or four different revisions of how their game system works. I still have titles that try to use Windows Live logins.

Microsoft is brilliant at formulating decent ideas, fumbling it, then struggling to hold it together before they reformulate and start from ground one yet again. They keep hitting the reset and ruining nay decent moment they gain.

Generally you can tell when a company will end up on the downward spiral towards the customer and that is about 4 seconds after they IPO.
