Don’t let PETA form your opinions. Plenty of good honey out there. Look for actual local beekeepers (not people selling ‘locally bottled honey’ because many of those are just buying mass market honey and rebottling locally). I wish that wasn’t a thing but it is.

"edit: the source author is quoting PETA. This whole article has zero merit, even if it does contain some real data.

Going to challenge the legitimacy of your source here.

Who is out there killing the bees to harvest the honey? That’s not how it works and makes no sense.

Also, ‘replace the honey with sugar water’? Yes, sometimes bees get additional sugars, but they aren’t “replacing honey”.

This reads like someone who got some information and then extrapolated their own details to fit their preconceived agenda.

For the record, I’m a fan of the bees. Vegetarian since the 90s. And I’m 100% against spreading false or misleading information.

Every interview: “oh great! You have a lot of manager experience! We’ve been looking for somebody with those skills!”

Me: “I’m not really looking to be in charge of people. I find the generational differences too tiring. I can’t relate and I’m tired of having to tell children to put away their phones.”

And within a year I’m a manager again. Just can’t seem to shake it. Which is why every damn job on my resume is manager. At least this time around I am managing things and not people. So a little better.

Contagion level.

I want to know how likely I am to get something from you. You won’t stay home, you won’t wear a mask, you won’t use protection, you won’t get vaccinated - you won’t be interacted with.

You already can’t in so many places. I thought it was required to accept cash, but apparently that’s only for paying the government.

After living off-grid for a few years I developed “the look”, complete with massive beard. And now suddenly these fucks think I’m one of them.

Quite often have to deal with comments that are quiet and only ‘kinda’ racist. But I have been handed a card and asked to attend their white supremacists meetings. Unfortunately this always happens at work where I can’t respond appropriately.

OMG the horror. ASL is my “drunk accent”.

I grew up around deaf family and we all learned sign language before we learned to talk. The more I drink, the more my hands start to sign along with me.

I can’t justify the gas cost to drive as far as my state capital, let alone travel all the way across the country to Washington DC. Not that I could even fly there since I’m not willing/able to get the fancy ID needed to get on a plane and leave my state.

I was really hoping for a beer bong.

But I guess Bros before Hose is true across the globe.

What are other countries doing? Is it just a ‘bring your own cup’ thing? Do y’all just have a hundred cups on hand for parties?

Things being “illegal”.

No it’s not against the law. Just because someone can sue you doesn’t mean what you did was a crime. Just because a business can’t sell a particular product doesn’t mean it’s illegal to have. You can’t ‘get arrested’ for half the shit people think is ‘illegal’.

If it makes you feel better, the quality of the people they attract is often on par with their own horrible personality.

OMG wouldn’t that be an interesting outcome. MAGA splits from GOP, taking voters. Suddenly there is room for an actual left side party instead of whatever Dem is anymore. Would be funny if the death of Trump actually pushed us into having more political parties and some actual representation for the people.

Yeah I would love to find something better. Back in the 90s we had a book that you could look stuff up in. It was designed more as a shopping guide for groceries but it was super helpful.

Wish there was something that provided insight without cost.

www.Goodsuniteus.com is a start to seeing where your money goes. Still looking for a better alternative.

The good news is as the giant evil corporations buy up everything it gets easier to just stop buying shit in general.

I know that we have, throughout history, assigned unknowns as supernatural occurrences.

And I don’t think we know everything yet.

So yes? That doesn’t mean the supernatural things are supernatural., just that they exist, we don’t understand them yet.

Axe-a-lot-ls* 😉

Unless you have unlimited wealth I wouldn’t go with a horse unless you can board it yourself. Otherwise you’re just leasing and will miss out on most of the bonding that makes up a large part of the horse relationship. It’s all the cost and then some for a third of the reward.

I LOVE IT
