I’m guessing a 50-some year old reliving their glory days, fully ignorant of the irony or just celebrating their lives asleep to the fact they are working for a shitty industry. But, if I’m honest with myself, I’m always thinking of the worst outcome. If it is an actual self-aware joust at the system from the inside, then that is pretty funny.
I like that on Lemmy, you now don’t even have to click the link to actually read the article, and people still don’t do even that before making a stupid comment that is addressed by the article.
On both the standard web page and through Sync, it shows the article text. But on any format, you can click the little link and it will take you to the full article.
And I’m sorry dude, but it’s the internet. If you feel called out over little criticism of your unwillingness to read an article before commenting, that’s a you problem. It’s hardly “vitriolic.” We can and should try and make Lemmy better.
You don’t have to placate me. It shows part of the text and that depends on the setting you have set. Some articles don’t show at all because of my pihole or other settings on my phone. You made an assumption. And while I didn’t read the whole article, I literally just added my two cents which is kind of what platforms like this are here for.
There are pictures of large pickup trucks (think Ford F250/F350) flattened like a pancake fire from trying to pass one of these without alerting the driver they’re there. When you’re on a mine, these things always have the right of way.
I could be mistaken but I believe they move materials in rock quarries, at least that’s what I saw on an episode of some discovery show many years ago. I still think about them regularly too since it’s like 3 stories tall and has a stair case to get to the driver seat lol
These are the types of tyres, that when they blow have inch thick steel cable in the side walls that could decapitate three men in a go. Ask me how I know…
I laugh my ass off reading this and thinking of all the old, privileged, annoying, self-important hunter clubs who boast endlessly about their vital ecological mission and benefits of eating game. Stuff your fat faces with cessium and I’ll just stand here and hope for as painful a consequence as possible.
I am from a country in Europe where “hunters” are the slapstick version of rich, douchey deep state. Tons of politicians, religious figures, business people are hunting for hobby and I wouldn’t bat an eye if they did it in compliance to law, common sense and rules of wildlife management. But they do not and are famous for:
blatant poaching
corrupting local forest management to allow for excessive shootings
the corruption at one point has reached the country parliament and a country-wide green light was given to cull boars because several sick ones were found in one region.
running events which have nothing to do with traditional hunting, nothing to do with wildlife management, but are instead shooting rows with random animals ran across a yard and being shot. Then their children (often as young as 7-8 yo) get to pose for instagram pics with fresh, bloody carcasses.
shooting people (both themselves and innocent mushroom pickers) and then getting acquitted after saying “I thought that was a boar” (the phrase is a meme now, but it still works in courts from time to time)
handling firearms in a way that would get any other person in jail (including neglecting psych checks, wrong storage, littering forests with lead ammo)
I remember reading about a geologist who was standing on what he thought was solidified lava until he realized he had slowly moved and the bottoms of his boots were melting.
