My grandmother knew a guy who raised a couple moose and used them to plow his feilds

In the case of industrial farms I agree. But I grew up less than a full generation from the family homestead in what’s now Wasilla. I’ll never be convinced to go full vegan, but I have cut my meat intake by half over the last year

The animal is already dead, it’s even more disrespectful to waste it’s body.

And the nationalist takes off his mask. Be careful not to become what you hate most.

I’m indigenous I’m an expert at identifying bigotry.

“Never to be forgotten” right because Germany is still a international pariah, same with Spain and Italy. This is my point, you’ve gone from justified shunning to irrational hate, I’m sorry you can’t understand that.

Bigotry isn’t the answer.

No, it’s bigotry I’m something of an expert at identifying it being Indigenous. I never said you couldn’t replace American spirits, that’s entirely you, I just stated the objective fact that we make world class spirits. Frankly you seem to be the only one angry and spewing hate. He’s not my president either, I voted against him. And please enlighten me about the inherent distastefulness of our spirits I’m sure your reasoning is entirely logical

Hell the high end stuff goes beyond and into “this can only be made properly in this county” because of climate effecting the aging process and ingredients

Debatable at best, the USA produces some of the best spirits on the planet.

You realize you are speaking to a person right? Again, sliding into actual bigotry where you’re hate blinds you to reality. We have several distilleries, most in blue states mind you, that compete and even win against Scottish single malts

We absolutely do make competitors that rival Scottish single malt, we just don’t copy them. I understand it’s fashionable to shit on everything American but you would do well to avoid sinking into outright bigotry

Because spirits are an art as much as a science.

That’s not why Mercator exists

I was in a game where we all played kobolds and lived in a old mine, except during a winter food raid on the local gnomes we managed to break into the mayor’s house and steal the treasury. When they demanded we return the safe we swapped the gold for lead, then they sent adventurers who we bribed with a gold bar each and the knowledge they had been lied to about the number of kobolds they had to fight.

In the end we ended up bloodlessly annexing the gnomes and putting them under “oppressive” restrictions and tax burden that ended up better than before we took over accidentally exposed former mayor’s massive embezzlement (In character we still don’t understand what he did wrong, we see it as dragon behavior) which started a pattern. We would scheme and plan evil things but end up being a net good for the area and because our party face was adorable as a sack of kittens no one noticed that both of the planners are evil as fuck

France never let theirs go. That said WTF!?

I have not had that experience no… My family bred and trained dogs for 3 generations, mostly sled dogs and k9 for the local cops (this was the 50s and Alaska) and more recently we raised pythons, along with rats to feed them. Breeders graduated to pet and got cushy retirements in the giant birdcage we set up.

A lot of little mammals are this way, pet rats for example

You barter with what you have

I canceled to shift my charge date originally. Then it became permanent
