So anyway you repeatedly say we only feel corn husks and similar inedible parts to cattle but Never add a source to back it up. Having worked on farms I’m afraid for the most part the feeds I’ve seen have been parts entirely edible to humans. And like fuck man 5% of all grown soy is fed to humans or however the stat goes, do you really think the remaining 95% is inedible? really?

Anyway yeah I’m asking for a source here cause I don’t want to add this on to months old post

Ingredients such as “grain by-products” are referring to the husks, stalks, and other “green” parts of the plant that we humans don’t actually have the digestive capabilities to eat. The breakdown of most livestock feeds looks like the above when you actually take a look at it.

Different cattle feed, similar ingredients. Still primarily things that, and I have to stress this, you cannot eat. This one is slightly higher in quality and does indeed have actual grain products included. Some of those are edible to humans. Some are not. Generally cattle are fed cattle cubes with supplemental mineral licks and hay. Some also supplement with whole corn, but I can gladly assure you that corn is not in short supply and even if all the corn sold to animal feed was donated to the poor, you can’t actually live off of corn because there’s very little nutrition in it. Hence why in both human and animal food it’s typically seen as a filler ingredient. Keeps the mouth busy with a meal without making your stomach feel full and you end up eating more without feeling satisfied.

Soybeans are really only often used in feed for pigs because they’re a great source of protein for these animals. I would state that soy is also a terrible option to use as an emergency food for humans in need because while, yes, it is indeed a healthy bean, it’s also one of the top eight foods that humans are frequently allergic or intolerant towards. I’d also ask you for whether your 5% of all grown soy statistic is referring to the beans or the entire plant because yeah the beans are the edible part. The rest of the plant isn't especially healthy for humans to eat. I would say the beans are around 5% of a mature soy plant sure.

#No offense anon but when you come here with ACTUALLY MOST OF WHAT FARM COWS EAT IS HUMAN FOOD and bring up SOY in the discussion of COWS #I somewhat doubt you actually have much experience farming #because no actually cattle benefit from the green parts of the plant more than the bean parts in most cases #corn is used as a cheap supplemental feed because it’s cheap and it’s cheap because there’s so so SO much of it #And corn isn’t grown in special livestock only plantations when it’s used as feed as opposed to human food either #corn is grown en masse and processed and then sold to various companies which use the corn for various things #if animal feed companies stopped buying corn and that corn was instead bought by human food companies #that doesn’t mean corn would be any more or less accessible to the hungry #because it would go to grocery stores and TV dinner companies and sauce companies and soda companies and so on #and it would still be sold same as always #world hungerTM isn’t caused because people can’t afford corn #corn is dirt cheap and most people can afford it #it’s just barely a step above eating sand and you can’t live off of it #I’ve gone a few days only eating corn products because they were cheap #and shocking no one I had no energy and felt just as hungry after each bowl as I had before the last #people cannot survive off of that #giving corn to livestock isn’t taking away any resource of value from humans #sorry it just isn’t

For how much Machete is described by others as off-putting, he really is a beautiful dog. Does Vasco ever tell him so? That his eyes make him look earnest, his fur the most comforting shade of white like cream, the way his ears catch light like stained glass? If someone doesn't tell him so, he'd forever think he was ugliest duckling

I think Vasco definitely tries, sincerely and often, but Machete is very reluctant to accept compliments and positive feedback. Especially if it's about something as personal and innate as his looks.

#he quietly spends a lot of time and effort trying to make himself look his best so appearances aren't a trivial thing for him #he's always very clean and neat and presentable #except on those occasions when he's soaked in blood but that's totally besides the point #white fur is kind of high maintenance any tiny bit of dirt or staining becomes an eyesore and if it dries it may be hard to remove #he bathes very frequently way more than average considering the time period #some of the outfits he wears are worth more than the combined lifetime earnings of like six generations of his family #silk was outrageously expensive and the brightest red dye came from pulverized cochineal insects that had to be imported from America #which had been colonized less than a century ago so those tiny little cactus bugs were really troublesome to get and the demand was huge #he doesn't quite have the nerve to wear perfume despite it's widespread popularity at the time #but he makes sure the smell of frankincense burned during church services sticks to his fur and clothes #in general when you spend your entire life around strict emotionally congested highly religious men #you might not end up developing a very healthy self-esteem or body image #once you've internalized that sense of inferiority it's hard to unlearn it #he's so thirsty for approval and praise but when he receives some he immediately gets uncomfortable and distrustful and vaguely angry #he absolutely struggles to compliment people back as well at least on any meaningful and personal level so there's that #answered #anonymous #Machete

Releases pikmin creatures into your home

What will you do?

probably have sex with them i guess

oh fucm *slides my hair back and sprays perfume into my mouth* agh agh cough fuck wrong thing *sprays that other shit into my mouth then pops my shirts collar* what's up lil mamma. how about we find a quiet place to sit and make the whole place wet... EUGH!!! what's all this then!!

anon. anon. what do i do if she's a milf

#ask #anon #anonymous im so sorry. im sorry. #to actually answer your question though. depends on what creature #and ik theres like. a lot of creatures. #i think id like to have a bunch of bulbmin. or bulborbs. they remind me a lot of opossums. mostly in their mouth shape and fangs. #but generally i think id either release them outside or just watch them for a bit for the most part. in terms of most pikmin creatures. #breadbugs would be funny to watch but i imagine they'd probably be pest-like if not taken care of or kept in an enclosure #theyd be constantly trying to take random shit back to their holes or piles of dirt or whatever #like listen i never lose my keys since i keep them in the same place. and also theyre on a bright red lanyard. #but a breadbug would steal those keys and i would be in distress #for pikmin themselves. same deal i think. id prefer to see them outside than inside my house #i think bulborbs/bulbmin would be the highest on my list of creatures to take care of maybe #otherwise LEEEAVE my motherfucking home NOOOWWWW!!!! #except less like dr breen #anyway. anon. sorry about the initial reply. i hope my tags sufficed #i like to say dumb shit i cant help it. favourite activity. #anyway thank you for the ask anon :)

You are so right in your distaste for Blades book 2. No matter how great things get near the end, a majority of the book was horrible. They led us along like mouse to cheese. It’s inexcusable to play with their audience this way.

I only wish more people were less willing to excuse PB’s mediocrity. The signs were on the wall for me when DLS was flat out better than Blades 2, and it’s narratively quite simple. The story told was well paced, thought out, and above all kept us waiting for more each week. I cannot say the same for B2. That is sad.

I mean I do understand why people still enjoyed it and were willing to overlook the negative aspects or didn’t have much of a problem with them to begin with. Blades 1 was a fan favorite, we all missed these characters a lot, and many people (myself included at one point) didn’t believe we would actually get book 2 because of all the bait and switches PB had done in the past. But the first two things are why I personally couldn’t overlook the glaring issues.

I can’t remember who the OP was now, but I remember seeing a post from when book 2 only had a few chapters out where someone said something about it seeming like the writers learned all the wrong things about what made the book so good, and I couldn’t agree with that person more! Yeah, book 1 was good because it was different from anything we had ever gotten before. But I think the main reason it was so good was because of the characters as individuals and the relationships we got to form with those individuals to ultimately become a family. Yet they didn’t really acknowledge those individuals or relationships in ways that did them justice for the majority of book 2. And on top of that, MC’s own characterization was inconsistent at times because the writers picked and chose when they wanted us to be a competent leader and when they wanted us to be virtually clueless for plot convenience.

Book 1 was also relatively straightforward whereas it seemed like the writers wanted to turn the sequel into their own personal commentary on religion, which is an incredibly complex topic in itself. They had some social commentary in book 1, but it was done a lot better in my opinion because it didn’t take so much of a front seat. They managed to make it clear that that commentary was important and relevant to the writers, the characters, and the readers living in the real world while never robbing book 1 of that fun adventure game used for escapism feel. Meanwhile, book 2 almost felt like ‘Rising Tides but make it religion’ at times. And that’s on top of all of the other issues I’ve already mentioned in my previous posts.

I will say that I can see how there’s usually a lot of pressure to blow things out of the water for a sequel to something so beloved, and that most likely contributed to how things played out. So maybe I’m being a bit too harsh in my judgement of everything. But I still find it very disappointing to wait so long for something just for it to be so messy and miss the mark by a mile

#choices bolas #choices blades #blades of light and shadow #choices stories you play #playchoices #I think the alcohol I had tonight is making me soft #bc there’s another side of me that agrees with you about how people should be less willing to excuse PB’s mediocrity #and that’s in general not just about Blades #but at the same time I’m like maybe I’m going too hard and need to chill 😂 #so I’ll just say harsh but true #also about DLS I’m not VIP so I haven’t finished it yet #but I am still enjoying it #idk if I’d say it’s well paced #it’s definitely not as badly paced as Blades 2 but I think they are dragging it out a bit #to really capitalize on those sex scenes every chapter 😂 #however as a lot of people have already pointed out DLS knows what it is bc the writers were actually self aware for once #which makes it enjoyable because we aren’t taking it too seriously and nor are the writers or the characters as an extension of them #so we can fuck around in the neighborhood (literally and figuratively) - get good dirt on everyone - and play detective on the side #and MC and the LI don’t act like self righteous little bitches #like people who are smarter than they actually are #or like they fell madly in love within the first 2 seconds of meeting #and the crazy thing is that the romance is fairly well written tbh #choices #choices app #choices ask

Transitioning is fun because you get to experience all of the shitty ways people treat women when you're young then all of the shitty ways people treat men when you're older!

#Before anyone twists my words Im not saying that misandry is real or misogynists are justified or whatever the fuck #But holy shit the way that some women treat men they view as inferior/unattractive is so fucking dehumanizing. Like you're lower than dirt #I much prefer existing as a perceived man don't get me wrong (people leave me alone more and condescend me less) but every once in a while #Im like 'holy shit this is just how you people treat men by default? good lord' #malhare.txt

thoughts from someone learning to be a farmer:

1. I had gloves on all day how is there this much dirt on my hands and under my fingernails

2. (after blowing my nose) how is there this much dirt in my nose

lots of dirt thoughts

Hate when autocorrect forcibly capitalizes a brand’s name. I literally do not respect any of them enough to acknowledge their existence beyond a flippant side eye and a snort. You aren’t people. You’re NOTHING.

This post is not an invitation for sinophobia piss off

God hanfu spaces can be so vile 💀 using 'manchu' and 'dog' so interchangeably is crazy, reason 10339405060 why I never look into the comments of Twitter posts abt hanfu

#diary #hater tag #stop oppression complexing we've been at the bottom of the hierarchy for a century and were at the bottom before qing as well #i try to keep this in private but you can only see ur ppl called so many slurs before getting irritated #also han women continued wearing hanfu into qing+ hanfu is better preserved than many ethnic minority clothing histories but whatever #i dont want to incite sinophobia but if i have to see 1 more person pretending theyre so kind for treating us minorities so fucking well #lol #as someone w plenty of experience of racism both back home in the mommyland and in c*nada #oh my god lol i keep quiet and struggle against sinophobia as much as i can but it feels like im defending ppl who see me as dirt sometimes #my tags have spiraled and arent rlly abt manchu anymore ngl 😨 my worst experiences at home have been wrt being hui and muslim lolol #since manchu are sinicized basically only terminally online pplare haters #anyways i might delete this later but ive kept quiet as much as i can for a long time and its getting frustrating #also hui and manchu are aggressively sinicized so the way i know less sinicized minorities have it even worse than my familyand i lol

in the World of Warframe there's humans (or. adjacent) on pretty much all the planets, right? there's bases of grineer, corpus, presumably at one point of orokin, pretty much everywhere

and there's the difference of a closed-off, controlled base (ships, gas planet bases) versus one built on a planet that's like. tolerable (venus, earth, mars - the rocky boys. it's been too long since i've been to mercury perhaps that one too)

so wouldn't it be fun if there was like. a difference in the immune systems of people who were raised in completely controlled environments. versus those who were raised somewhere where there are uncontrolled spaces where. oh i don't know. germs and such could flourish

jupiter-born-and-raised jay would have SUCH a time adapting to rocky deimos is all i'm saying. yes it IS tiny enough to have (require) climate control like a ship. no it's IMPOSSIBLE to control All the rocky nooks and crannies. also that's a uni planetoid you're not telling me those snotty students aren't importing their germs from all over the solar system

pule who's from venus is torn between laughing his ass off at jay's third cold that month and being Genuinely Concerned (he does both. he hands poor jay the hot chicken soup Before he loses his shit)

#rift lore #rift noises #vince #putting your biology used to climate A into climate B has CONSEQUENCES #<- has experienced such consequences (different from pictured but unpleasant nONETHELESS) #yes i know vents and such are PRIME breeding grounds for germs i'm just electing to think that's less significant than Dirt Germs

People always talk about not wanting to gatekeep, and that there shouldn't be a like, proper prerequisite to consider yourself a "fan" of something. And for the Fate franchise, this is largely true, although I feel there SHOULD be some sort of caveat that before you're allowed to make any sort of take on like, Shirou, Saber, Sakura, Rin, etc., you HAVE to read the fucking visual novel lest you be smote by the (righteous) fury of everyone else.

Here I go to spend several days by myself in the North Carolina wilderness. Wish me luck. Never gone camping alone (but I have my dogs, and I trust them more than any people I know), so that's intimidating. Hopefully I don't have to fistfight a bear over whatever I'm cooking that night. Not looking forward to no toilet or shower until Monday, but it is what it is. I absolutely have to do this, for my mental health. I'm losing so much money taking the time off work to just have mountain time to myself. But I gotta. My life has been such a chaotic mess for over half a year now - everything that could go wrong, has - and I've never felt so close to just letting myself snap. I can feel it boiling right under the surface at any given time.

But yeah. Should be a time. Might post pictures upon my return (provided a bear doesn't decide I'm on the menu). Wish me luck!

#not vc sorry #camping #going to pisgah in case i never return and y'all gotta help direct the cops #should be back online sometime next week #really hoping there's no phone service so no one can bother me #i WILL hike the mountains. i WILL return to the dirt and moss from which i came. #i think it'll be good for me to just fuck off for a while and hang out with my puppies #it's just been shit after shit for so long #like. starts off with me getting fired over a false police report that no one cared was obviously fake #then the only person I've ever given a shit about says he's had a massive thing for me for years and just ghosts me? #then my mom started getting worse and is constantly blaming me for all her problems and breaking my stuff etc #like. she tells my 15 year old brother he's a failure and won't be shit at least once a day. blames me for his behavior. #then I'm getting constantly fucked over at work. treated like I'm an idiot. paid less than the guys despite doing the same work. #my physical health isn't great but what do i even do about that? #i have no control over anything in my life. it's all going to shit. #but you know what i can control? where my gay ass subaru is driven. and it's driving me to the mother fucking mountains. #and i WILL chill and relax and not stress over shit that's out of my hands!!!!!!! #it's supposed to rain a lot but who cares. just means less likelihood of other people camping near me.

I need to know who your richest protagonist in y5 was. Mine was saejima and hes the only one that got more than a million yen , he has two million yen , and if i sell the rest of my hunting trophies im certain it would be three million

#Yakuza liveplay #My poorest little meow meow is akiyama for some reason he just doesnt earn any cash at all #even though he starts with the most money #shinada starts off dirt poor but you can claw your way up somehow akiyama just doesnt seem to have the same opportunities #saejima rakes in the mulah honestly because i adore his hunting minigame this is the golden kamuy of yakuza #kiryu and harukas jobs do not pay very much at all lie i thijnk the most kiryu earns is ... i think 60 or 600 thousand yen and haruka earns #a little less than that amount.... and the only way akiyama can make money is to fight people for it he does not have a job #or rather he just does not do his job . shinada can rake in about 30k from that one substory and his chicken can probably net him like ... #20k if youre dedicated (each late game race gets you 4k or more) #saejima can sell a bear for like lets see ... .. um i really dont know .. i guess maybe 12k yen ?
