The Official Critter Thread

[Kaveman]

Vox, is part of Vice, and like Vice, they used to do real reporting and documentary work. Now it's mostly hack and attack pieces motivated by extreme ideologies.

Vox is also responsible for the way YouTube treats its content creators. One of their queer Mexican talking heads got into an online pissing match with Stephen Crowder, and the fallout is still affecting everyone on the platform.

Lefty liberal media bullies in short. Not that I can stand political pundits as a whole, but I really don't like being beaten with somebody else's baby seal, so that I'll drink out of paper straws.

I am old enough to remember straws were always made out of paper. School lunch milk. They seemed to work back then. Seems like an unworthy cause for Trump.

Straws are a frivolous waste of resources. So women don't smudge their lipstick. Since I'm not a woman(or wear lipstick I guess), I don't use straws. The fuel tank on my saw is a better use of petrol.

That was random

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Just dont use them......

 

[lxskllr]

Charge $1 each for them. The bullshit of privatizing profit and socializing cost is garbage; literally. You get a straw whether you want one or not, sometimes even after specifying you don't, and it ends up on the ground for everyone else to deal with. At $1/each, they won't be blithely spread everywhere, and when they are truly wanted/needed, they'll be closely looked after.

Or just use paper. I'm old enough to remember paper straws too, and they worked.

We use glass and stainless steel straws at our house.

So why are we talking about straws in the critter thread? Maybe I should read back a few posts.

It's for artificial insemination reasons of course, you silly lad.

Bison Ranchers Return Thousands of Animals to Native Lands and Witness Total Rejuvenation of Ecosystem

The return of the bison means the return of the prairie, one of the three great grassland ecosystems on the planet.

Something good for a change.

2 healthy coyotes on our walk today. We heard them miles away as they were howling. They did not care for the dog and me.
