  • Thats a bit of a glass heart take. I, personally, don’t think animals should suffer before they’re slaughtered. They should live happy lives up until then. But we’re predators just like any other carnivore.

    The only difference is that we have stronger emotions and the ability to consider the consequences of our actions as well as empathy for other beings.

    But if you like meat, you’re not being a baby. If anything it’s the opposite. You care less about the animals than the meat it comes from. And I don’t think that’s wrong. That’s just evolution.

    We’re such strong predators, that the majority of humans will never even kill their prey. We cage animals and slaughter them to feed our masses. And as long as we do that ethically (which we’re not. I’ll admit that), I don’t think it’s a bad thing, it’s nature.

    You wouldn’t deny a lion it’s prey, so why berate fellow humans for the same thing? Instead the focus should be on ethical and sustainable ranching and farming.

    He didnt threaten her with murder. He wrote a song expressing his emotions. He exaggerated how he felt to the fullest extent.

    I once told my dog that I wanted to eat her cause of how cute she is. I’m afraid to tell you that cause you just might think I run around eating pets just because I think they’re cute.

    Because it’s more nuance than that?

    It’s not to be taken at face value. This song is about a man who struggles with addiction. He’s stuck in a relationship with a nasty person all for the sake of his daughter. He’s rapping with raw emotions.

    You not supposed to listen to it and be like “ah fuck yeah. Murder is cool”. You’re supposed to listen to it and feel the same emotions he feels, which is vehement rage and desperation.






  • The US has built its empire on convenience. There’s plenty of solid brands out there, but the biggest and well known are the companies that cut corners and quantity so they can keep prices low. And us US citizens just eat that shit up.

    Amish style butter is some of the best butter I’ve ever had. You can find it all over the place in the Midwest and Amish heavy states.
