  • I actually don’t know what that is! I got all this knowledge working in the pet food industry. Vegetarian diets are such a bummer. Like, if you get an animal, it’s on you to adapt to their needs, not them adapting to your principles! I get that it’s hard for some vegans/vegetarians to handle meat—but in that case…don’t get an animal that needs it lol

    There’s unfortunately so much misinformation, and a lot of it is pushed by the kibble companies. Did you know that most veterinarian schools are at least partially funded by purina, Iams, etc? The fact that most vets offices sell science diet for insane markups should be a huge tip off. So unfortunately the lies run deep. It’s not surprising so many people fall for it—like the myth that kibble cleans your pet’s teeth!? What poppycock! Do crackers and croutons clean our teeth? Hell no. And there is an enzyme in the saliva of dogs that actually turns the necessary starches to bind kibble into sugar. Hence the pandemic of tooth decay in so many.


  • Cats will actually eat until they get the necessary nutrients from their food, unlike us where we stop when we’re full, regardless of how good the food actually is. So a cat free feeding terrible food can become obese fairly easily.

    Kibble is the absolute worst thing you can feed cats. It’s usually at least half fillers and binders. They’re obligate carnivores so raw meat or high quality canned food where it’s mostly meat with some hydrating broth or something is as good as it gets for them.

    It’s my dream to have one dog and one cat and have them be best friends—or even better, the three of us are best friends and we do everything together and we hang out at a coffee shop called the central perk and then open on coffe shop couch, afternoon, me cat and dog share a single cup of Joe, all three of us competing to lap it up out of the mug with our tongues and coffee is getting everywhere and studio audience [laughs] and then theme song starts playing and “I’ll be there for you”






  • They’re in he air, the water, the food, your brain, apparently. Your reproductive fluids…there’s literally no escape. We signed this pact with satan when capitalism determined that profit is the only thing that matters.

    The first step we could take? Bringing the exploitative and murderous system of capitalism to its knees. So we can promptly shoot it in the back of the head. Then, maaaybe our children’s children’s children would have an option to avoid microplastics.


  • Seeing as we don’t know the same people, I can’t. And you know that, so it’s a pretty Jordan Peterson-y way of trying to win an argument.

    Hey, man. If you got something positive out of his mumbo jumbo, great. But his stuff is kinda like horoscopes in that way. You can…kinda take whatever you want from it. Because it’s mostly overly verbose, purposefully complicated nonsense. And the mindset you’re in when exposed to it can change its effect. So, when shared among right wing incels and “alpha male” circles, it very much has the effect of fostering hatred toward women and trans people.

    He spouts pseudo science and fills it with buzzwords on hot button issues. He cloaks his nonsense in the favorite topics of those who do harbor hatred towards women, transgender people, etc. He gets to remain an arm’s length away from the far right while catering to them by pretending to be a “neutral” “academic.” But those people are his bread and butter. While you may or may not be a part of that, like I said, he caters to them and uses vague enough bullshit to let those kinds of people justify their hatred. You can’t deny that he’s positioned himself as “going against the status quo”—hell, you basically said so yourself. And hat is the exact type of persona that attracts the ironically “anti establishment” right wingers. A truly stupid hypocritical group of people. They claim anti establishment, while actually harboring authoritarian beliefs.

    My point is, his schtick is to appear “neutral” while spouting exactly the kind of shit bigots need so they can feel justified in their hatred. You may have not fallen prey to that, but plenty of his fans do. And anyone who opens up to that stream of pseudoscientific “information” from him is flirting with the far right pipeline.
