  • hot take: if an artist is already popular, then they dont need your support anywhere near as much as a bandcamp artist does. i believe it is ethical to enjoy "popular" music without paying for every megabyte. just go see them when they come to town and buy a t-shirt if the spirit moves you.

  • look, vowels are expensive. vanna white literally charges people for $250 apiece for them. my way saves an entire vowel. thats $250 more to be spent on the shitposting and bickering that keeps us all alive in this galaxy of the Federated Universe.

  • The term carrot and stick doesn't sit well with me. If you hit a donkey with a stick then it's likely it won't trust you enough to accept a carrot later.

  • its an archaism. a modern understanding of animal behavior and ethics have both pushed that training modality out, and probably the more successful animal trainers of yore never really relied on it, but people absolutely used to beat the shit out of animals. perhaps not often, and perhaps not horribly, but animal cruelty was certainly common enough to enter the lexicon. see "carriage whip". see "spurs". see "bearing rein". see "branding iron". etc etc. hell theres even the phrase "spare the rod, spoil the child".

    and this is not the worst place a study of the history of language will take you. remember that european and white north american cultures both (among others) unabashedly practiced chattel slavery for centuries, if not millennia for older cultures.

  • Canton is a distant suburb cursed with no shortage of terrified whiners who would sooner call the police on a frostbitten vagrant than bring them a blanket. Detroiters, on the other hand, despite the rampant inequality and not infrequent crime, tend to look out for eachother and are often quite friendly to strangers.

    (incidentally though, Canton has some pretty good indian and korean food, which you might try if forced to call on your wife's family.)
