  • Try mentioning this to Tailor Swift fans and you’ll get immediately crucified. We should normalize the idea that THERE ARE NO ETHICAL BILLIONAIRES. Period.

    While I agree with your sentiment, I don’t think she’s the place to start bitching. She’s one of the “better” ones in that she’s not out here actively hunting the poor on an island somewhere. You start with folks like Musk, Bezos, and Murdoch, and by shining a light on the billionaires that are stealing the wealth and resources of entire countries but staying out of the limelight by keeping their fucking mouths shut. Then we start moving towards Swift. Otherwise the message will just get drowned out by fans.



  • Gamer uncle here. Depending on my mood I’m either a wise and thoughtful teacher helping the younger generation learn the ins and outs of games (some of which they shouldn’t play, but I’m also firework uncle so I’m not always safe), or I’m “I will knock you off Rainbow Road as I lap you” uncle. I’m also older brother and treated my younger siblings exactly the same way 30 years ago.

    When we all get together the kids are on their own because the adults are too busy playing four player couch games. Their gamer grandpa still plays battle for wesnoth with me periodically, but otherwise he plays a bass fishing game.

    White Amanitas are lethal, never touch those, but with Muscaria you could have some fun.

    These are my favorites because of their common name. Destroying Angel.

    Fun fact: the survival rate without treatment is about half, but that goes up to ~90% if you get treated quickly. However, it can still destroy your liver. The toxin is thermostable so cooking doesn’t break it down. It is excreted in urine so a lot of the treatment consists of pumping you full of fluids and making you pee a lot. There is no actual antidote to the toxin.
