As a longtime SAR guy --I'm in my 50s-- I always tell people to carry a gun in the backcountry if that's what makes them feel safe, but just know that you're far far far more likely to get in trouble from things like weather, terrain, rivers, meltwater, falling, exposure, hypothermia and just the elements in general than you are from any animal. The risk profiles aren't even remotely close. This is true even in places like Alaska where almost everyone is armed. As far as I'm concerned, a gun is dead weight. Lose it and concentrate instead on carrying the ten essentials and knowing how to use them

Among the world's economically developed democracies, it absolutely only happens in one nation. This is not up for debate; it's an objective fact.
How we choose to address this fact is up to us, but being in denial about it is not a sane option.
There's no such thing as an adolescent silverback. A silverback is a fully mature dominant male. They don't gain the silver coloration until they are mature, so the entire premise is a contradiction in terms.
It's older than that.
Several things can be true at once. We don't have to be all-in on one side or the other of the Snowden affair. I've never understood why people seem so eager to pick a team on this issue.
It's how the other great apes do it too, which as far as I'm concerned is pretty much the end of the issue. It really is one of those things where there's a right and wrong way to do it.
It's painfully un-self-aware.
I think this guy is just fucknut crazy, not a terrorist per se. Either way though, it's not a great look.
True, but it wasn't always true. In the 1960s and 70s the far left was more violent. Not especially relevant, but it is interesting.
I don't think Lemmy is ready to hear that kind of thing.
The last week or so it's been Too Much Too Young by The Specials. It was on the radio, once, last week and for no good reason I've been stuck with it since. Thanks brain.
