  • Maybe the joke isn’t particularly fair, maybe it doesn’t really need to be.

    You have logical reasons to avoid antibiotics and preservatives. Someone might not agree, but whatever the case, you made that decision based on some amount of evidence.

    Raw milk though… I think the meme is correct to equate anger with pasteurization as a denial of germ theory. We pasteurize and refrigerate for the same reason: to keep bacteria from growing. It is a fair question: if pasteurization is unnecessary, why is refrigeration necessary? Avoiding preservatives doesn’t beg the same question.








  • The cast iron “purists” are silly. We just wash ours with soap and water and use it like any other pan. I only know of stuff you can do with cast iron, use metal spatulas, scrub it out with salt, and/or put it in the oven. Not sure what you can’t do.

    Granted, I don’t put any pots and pans in the dishwasher. Maybe y’all have bigger dishwashers than I do, but if one item takes up half the space, what’s even the point?

    I have never and will never give the slightest fuck about Hunter Biden.

    I hate that everyone has just given Diamond Joe a pass for pulling an RBG to hand the country back to Trump. Whatever else Democrats might have done differently, the single biggest campaign mistake is that the Cryptkeeper stomped on our primaries and wouldn’t hand over power until the last minute.

    The entire goal of his presidency should have been anointing of a successor. I’m not a huge Kamala fan, but he could have set her up for success instead of waiting. Whoever won real primaries would run a much better general election campaign than Kamala could have this year.

    Do you think it’s okay for us to bomb people because I can say on the internet that we shouldn’t bomb people?

    China doesn’t call themselves “the leader of the free world” or “a shining city on a hill”. Sure, freedom of speech is generally better in the US than China (but don’t think that nobody ever gets put in jail for criticizing the government.) The fact remains that the US kills a lot of people.

    I’m not Chinese. I can’t affect Chinese policy at all. I focus on the US because my voice is supposed to matter here, allegedly.

    SFW furry? There’s kinda no such thing.

    You realize that you’re the one sexualizing them, right?

    There absolutely are people who have a fursona or participate in the fandom in completely SFW ways. A fursona tells you exactly nothing about their sexual preferences. Honestly you sound exactly like homophobes insisting that two boys holding hands is obscene. Just because you equate a fursona with sex doesn’t mean that every furry thinks the same way.
