A person who prefers dogs might be someone who feels the need to exert control as a means of feeling in control themselves. OR they might simply be allergic to cats.
This isn’t a male-specific thing. Think of Karen with her purse-dwelling toy chihuahua mix with severe anxiety and multiple chronic disorders.
Honestly, fuck this assertion that you can somehow infer a person’s motivations and morals from what kind of pet companion they prefer. I’ve legit seen it argued that if you like dogs and don’t like cats, you’re “probably a rapist” because you “can’t understand consent.”
I enjoy cats. I don’t prefer to own one. Am I a monster because of this? How about, I just love my dog?
Dogs are loving, cats are apathetic. People that grew up with loving parents prefer dogs as they are well equipped to provide the nurturing they themselves were given. People that were emotionally neglected as children prefer cats because that lack of bonding is familiar to them.
i like to think of people who own pets as people incapable of being alone for even short periods of time, that or they just like having the company of them, it’s one of the two.
Canned goods are great, they last, keep the nutritional values, packaging can be recycled, etc
The ‘they last’ means also less trips to the store, and less logistics is good for everyone and everything.
Unless canned food is acidic, then the cans are layered in plastics & are basically plastic bottles with extra steps.
Perhaps there is even an argument to be made how a large scale industrial processing can be (which doesn’t man is, but in proper countries it should be) much better, not only precise, but clean, with in some cases inherently far better ingredient quality (at least because of timing the ingredients), and more efficient too. It just takes less to implement an extra precaution or control in such an environment vs a big kitchen (or just someone mixing the ingredients at the store).
Often canned goods use no or at least much less preservatives compared to ‘fresh’ counterparts, simply bcs they just aren’t needed (and either way it’s cheaper to perfect the mechanical preservation processes than adding extra stuff in).
Yes, I was saying that it seems (imho) a good food to can and have stock at home.
People live different lives, or perhaps even have cooking or mobility limitations.
Or for situations like sailing of the grid where you can’t reasonably store potatoes.
I presume potato poisoning from badly made cans isn’t a thing for at least a century … If that’s not the case, then I’ll store my potatoes as vodka (I know, I know, most vodka isn’t potato vodka).
The post appears to be from a “sovereign citizen”. It’s a rabbit hole of crazy where people think that the government is illegitimate and that the government also has private accounts “trusts” in everyone’s name, and something about it being in all capital letters is significant somehow? Then there’s all the arcane beliefs that they don’t have to pay taxes and they call their cars “conveyances” which somehow makes them immune to the laws about license and registration.
I’m not doing it justice, but it is people who think they aren’t subject to any laws and believe there’s a secret rule book that if you follow makes magic happen.
A UCC-1 is a form that acts as kind of a public declaration that you’ve loaned someone money or property and they’re indebted to you. It helps establish the relative priority of creditors in complex financial situations, and serves as a public record of liens on the collateral of loans. Something like that, I’m not an expert.
But it’s just a public record of a debt, basically. That debt has to actually exist, though, for the form to have any meaning. These guys have all convinced each other that just by saying they’re a creditor to the government or whoever via this form, that they can make it come true, and thereby conjure money or ownership rights out of nowhere.
I think it’s more likely that this person believes they are somehow shielding their children from the government in some fashion. But I may be overly generous here. Who knows.
