# i am not a hunter # i am not a hunter
Autumn is my favorite season. The horror genre is in the mainstream entertainment channels. The temperature is in the 60's. The pumpkin spice is in god damned everything, including my veins. The leaves are in color. The women are in yoga pants. And the wildlife - specifically the tastier speces - are in season. Autumn is my favorite season.

On rare occasion I do get a tiny amount of flak for the practice of hunting. generally when I'm spending any time socializing with anyone, food is involved. So i *could* return with something like, we just ate meat, so is there a moral issue with doing more of the work myself?

But I've gone for a gentler approach with some self deprecating humor; i have never successfully harvested any animal, ever. Is it really hunting, or is it paying for a license to wake up before dawn to carry 20 lbs of crap on a glorified hike? I am not, strictly speaking, a hunter. Although capitalism is happy to say I've spent money on products and therefore have earned a sense of community.

Sitting in a blind for hours is depressing. Partially due to sleep deprivation, sure. in spite of how gorgeous the view is, I hate sitting in silence. But what's the difference doing that in a hunting blind, vs at home, out in public? Sitting in a blind for hours is depressing.

I'm beginning to doubt that deer exist. I've seen them, in person, in the past. Right? I'm pretty sure that was real. I'm beginning to doubt that deer exist. I've seen them, in person, in the past. Right? I'm pretty sure that was real.

I think their definition of success is to estimate 1 permit to 1 deer. looks like they're estimating 30%. so the situation is pretty bleak. I think their definition of success is to estimate 1 permit to 1 deer. looks like they're estimating 30%. so the situation is pretty bleak.
If you go out hunting, odds are... you're coming back empty handed. If you go out hunting, odds are... you're coming back empty handed.

[alternate] BOLD statement. Have you disproved Godel, and developed a framework for determining truth that requires no axioms? have you out-logic'd renee descartes and proven anything at all, when you could be a brain in a jar? have you done what CGP grey is afraid to, and ventured through the "What Is True" dimension, returning unscathed?

Respectively; no, no, and not entirely but maybe a tiny bit? You can only *approach* 0 faith, like an asymptote. Acknowledging that gives you a heuristic to weigh the validity of evidence. Kind of in a bayesian way. Respectively; no, no, and not entirely but maybe a tiny bit? You can only *approach* 0 faith, like an asymptote. Acknowledging that gives you a heuristic to weigh the validity of evidence. If it just offloads faith elsewhere, it's useless. If it requires faith itself, it's even worse than that. People talking about something's existence is not evidence. but I can buy some laughably overpriced venison in the store, right now. Although, that could be false advertising. This would be the same place selling some corn syrup in some sake labeled mirin. Not just mirin, but they specifically label their aji mirin as "hon" mirin. They sell wasabi as well, which I'm sure is horseradish with green food coloring. the fact that someone would lie to everyone and argue it's ok because it makes money is... really... how the world works. caveat emptor, bitch.

Meanwhile various meal ingredient services have marketed themselves as solving hunger by reducing food waste. which is silly, if they have any effect it's to shift food waste into packaging waste.

no one has ever sued for being saved from starvation. nevertheless the US passed the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act of 1996 to encourage donation - all it does is reassure retailers they can't be held accountable. no one has ever sued for being saved from starvation. nevertheless the US passed the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act of 1996 to encourage donation - all it does is reassure retailers they can't be held accountable.
Maybe it worked. I can't find anything about how much food is donated per year since the law was passed and the press releases were announced. Maybe it worked. I can't find anything about how much food is donated per year since the press releases were announced about the law passing.

As usual, the supreme court decided that these pesky laws need to get out of the way of a corporation harvesting wealth from the peasantry (well it was 5-4, exactly the split you would expect). So the victim of wage theft didn't get to go to real court, and of course, arbitration court agreed: stop whining about wage theft.

Ever since then, **every** user agreement has included an arbitration clause. You know. Because apparently real lawsuits are unjust, real courts are overburdened... So we'll privatize justice, that certainly won't create a kangaroo court. Ever since then, **every** user agreement has included an arbitration clause. You know.
