  • I had a wiener dog that absolutely SLAYED moles like it was his job. Seriously, I bet he killed more than a hundred over a few years. I guess it kind of was his job, wieners are bred to hunt burrowing animals like that. Dachshund is German for “badger hound”.

    Anyway, he got a little older, fatter, and lazier, and we also moved to an area with tougher soil, so his mole slaying days were over (we thought). But then we got a young German Shepherd, and he figured out that he could find the mole (his downward pointing ears made him good at that), start digging the hole, and then stand back and let her take over. Then after she did all the hard work of grabbing and killing the thing, he would steal it from her and come present it to us very proudly.

    He wasn’t a terribly bright dog, so I was really impressed when he started doing that. The German Shepherd was way smarter than him by any measure, but I think she didn’t care that he was taking credit for her kills. She was just having fun helping him. Both excellent dogs, I miss them a lot.

    Obviously there are various forms of sugar in a lot of things, it’s just a carbohydrate. My point is that there is zero reason to ever ADD sugar to any food, period. It is not an essential nutrient and it does not add anything beneficial other than flavor. It only promotes tooth decay, diabetes, and eventual organ failure. Yum.

    Yep, that’s the main problem with all the buzzword substances that diet culture is obsessed with: fat, salt, carbs, etc… All of those are fine in moderation, but the problem is that the processed garbage that the average person eats for lunch contains a RIDICULOUS amount of those things.

    Not sugar, though. Sugar is just bad for you, full stop. 😆











  • I don’t get it, what’s to appreciate here? They bought a thousand plastic drones from China with a thousand disposable lithium ion batteries that are bad for the environment, and had them shipped over on a cargo megaship that spews smog into the atmosphere. They’re utilizing a bunch of things that have fucked the environment to do a little light show to “raise awareness” over a city that is already full of people that don’t need to be convinced that climate change is a problem.





  • I like shitting on Facebook but this is a stupid article.

    Meta is literally resorting to giving them away for free: Attendees of this year’s developer conference for the global gaming platform Roblox each got a free Meta Quest Pro. While it’s unclear how many people attended the event, it’s a clear indication that the device isn’t exactly flying off the shelves.

    So they gave some away at a dev conference. But we don’t know how many, and we also don’t know if the Roblox conference paid for those devices or if Meta really gave them away for free. Clickbait bullshit.
