You’re not wrong, but think of the number of people this brought joy to.

Is it wasteful? Sure. Is it a bit of a face slap to people living paycheck to paycheck, assuming they’re even that well off? Sure. But is it a net negative? Who can say? Unlike most fuck-you-money splurges, this one probably at least lightened some people’s days for a moment, and that’s not nothing.

Nothing wrong with that guy. Awareness is a good tool for everyone to have.

Pointing out what it is doesn’t necessarily carry judgment with it, it’s just facts, and you can use them however you like.

My point, if I have one, is that it’s trendy for a vegan to object to eating sterile eggs even from well-treated chickens, but hardly anybody wants to talk about the way too many dogs are treated, just as a manner of course.

Yes, many people treat their dogs well, or think they do, but they’re still routinely confined, leashed, fed cheap crap food, left alone in the yard with no stimulation for most of the day. They’re bred to serve and treated like furniture or at best interactive toys or escorts to make their owners feel good.

Nobody wants to talk about how miserable most of these animals probably are for large parts of their existence, because they wag their tails and jump excitedly in the rare moments when their people actually give them attention. Hardly anyone wants to give a thought to what an existence as a dog muct actually be like. And that’s for the well-treated ones. There are just as many or more who are penned in tiny yards or otherwise mistreated, but don’t you dare criticise dog owners or the industry for turning a blind eye so long as the dog food money keeps flowing.

Funny to be more concerned about the chickens than the animal enslaved for life and bred to feign affection.

But then it’s typical for rationality to go out the window for some people when dogs are concerned.

This photo was taken at a time when national parks were treated like amusement parks. People literally fed bears out of their car windows, and the animals were practically domesticated by this. Yes, they could still do some damage if they were angry, but they got so fat and lazy off of all the food and trash being handed out that they had no reason to be aggressive.

That’s exactly what uncles are for.

“My people need me!”

As usual with these events, not a single ounce of awareness that other people exist.

She would have been better off just grabbing a rail and bracing for impact. As it is she just made herself a wobbly target and gave the projectile more time to gain velocity.
