Im learning that way too many of you have no regard for your own safety or the safety of your data and also that you would be found by bailifs in a day
No but really, pro tip. If you never ever respond to your name until you know who is on the phone, then anyone chasing debts cannot confirm that you are at that number.
Caller: “hello, can I speak to [name] / am I speaking with [name]?”
You: “I’d like to know who’s calling / who am I speaking with?”
Caller “this is [caller]”
You: “why do you need to speak with [name]?”
Don’t give them ANY information about you til you know who they are and why they’re calling. Even if you’re not in any financial trouble or have any debts this is real good practice
“you only deserve food and shelter if you contribute to society” says people living in countries where nobody’s labor actually feeds or benefits their neighbors anymore but exclusively benefits the companies keeping the food and shelter behind the artificial paywalls
You’re not nomads relying on each other to hunt and gather anymore, you’re talking about stocking shelves for fucking wal marts
And even the oldest societies on earth all took care of the elderly or sick anyway
dudes will be like “if you don’t Contribute To Society you don’t get to live, that’s the simple facts” meanwhile their job is like Marketing and Brand Development Specialist
Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.
So let me get this straight ,vegans should stop eating the food of the Mexcian long-nosed bats, because the bats need it, and instead vegans should instead eat honey, the food of bees, that their larvae need, even though the bee populations are facing ecological issues as it stands.
10/10 post, dude.
Did you forget the whole part where only excess is taken and all their needs are met and then some orrrr?
Like, did you read it orrrrr?
Anyway, BUY HONEY SAVE BEES
It is a 10/10 post. Because OP is right.
Bees do not suffer when beekeepers take their honey, because experienced beekeepers do not take all of their honey, in fact, they leave plenty of honey left for the bees to consume over the winter. If we do not collect their honey, 1 of two things will happen.
1. they will leave for a bigger home. Which at first seems fine until you remember that bees are dying very quickly out in the wild.
or
2. They will start using the areas that they reserve for their young as a place to make more honey. This is bad because if no more young are being produced, then the hive will start to die out because no new workers are coming into the world, and the average live only 150 days, so it would also mean the loss of more bees.
So yeah, eating honey isn’t inhumane at all. In fact, you’re helping the bees by eating what they produce and giving money to the bee keepers who are the ones making sure that the hive will keep being healthy.
LOUDER FOR THE VEGANS IN THE BACK: use honey, not agave! Bees need your support and other animals need agave! Using honey means more bees!!
Other animal products that are absolutely fine to use because they produce it in excess:
- Wool. Sheep need to be sheared or their wool will get excessively large, matted and gross. Its legit just a haircut. Calm down and use wool instead of whatever fake acrylic microplastic shit they have in stores now. Wool is super warm, insulating, and guess what! It grows back! Its a renewable resource and all the sheep want in return is some good pasture and protection from predators.
- Eggs. I’m not talking about storebought eggs. Go to your local farmer’s market. Find someone around with chickens/ducks. These birds produce eggs literally every day and will not stop unless they are molting, brooding, or kept in the dark for most of the day. Like I am not joking when I say you can very easily find someone with poultry and they will beg you to take some eggs. Theres so many. Please. Take some duck eggs. I dont want them. I had 8 laying ducks last year. Thats 8 eggs every day. Thats 2 dozen eggs every THREE DAYS. Thats SO MANY EGGS PLEASE TAKE SOME EGGS
Reducing animal cruelty does not mean abolish the use of animal products. Go eat honey. Go use wool. Go find a friend with birds and eat eggs, or get your own. Just because it comes from an animal does not make it cruel.
The things most vegans refuse to acknowledge out loud is that if we all live by their standards it would necessarily mean a vast culling of livestock, a veritable holocaust of all domesticated farm animals—from cows to chickens to sheep to honey bees—which have no place in the wild to go and no skills to survive there. They need us in order to continue existing as a species or else they will die out when we stop cultivating and caring for them.
a good horse is far superior to a self driving car
Horses have fantastic senses of direction and often go home without the rider’s instruction. In cases of a riders being unable to take the reigns due to inebriation or injury or falling off and getting injured, the horse would often show back up at home before anyone knew anything was wrong. This isn’t always the case but a good horse has a much better chance of getting you home without killing pedestrians than a self driving car does.
Also the horse won’t explode
Horses have broken my bones, knocked me into tree branches and bucked me off onto rocks and I’d sooner ride a horse than get in a Tesla.

I don’t LIKE this happening but it is amazing HOW it is
Every IT architect is laughing at this buffoon as he is doing a major downgrade to a system that could handle the traffic just fine, just because he laid off all his system architects
This is equivalent to driving a ferrari but downgrading to a goddamn bicycle bcuz you fired those who could maintain the ferrari
Got rid of the maintenance guy AND torched the garage AND got rid of any nearby shops that service ferraris
