Good day Mastodon. May your day be filled with logic and reason.

And coffee 🖖

On this platform, I get a lot more sincere replies to what I assumed were obvious jokes.

So, for the avoidance of doubt; I know neither magic or dragons are real, I'm not advocating the assassination of any of my friends or co-workers and I don't think I'm a squirrel.

Give a man a fish, he will eat for a day.

Tell a man all the fish in the world are available to him if only he strives for fishing excellence even as you defund public fishing schools as dangerous socialism but emphasize that if he REALLY wants fish he can either go deeply into debt taking predatory loans to learn the proper means of fish management or take a shit job working for people who also can't fish but were born into a family that owns an empire of factory fish farms where he can harvest gross mutant garbage fish that he and other people whose public fishing schools shuttered can then buy at a 2000% markup because the people who control all the fish say "that is just the market dictating the price of fish" and he will eat what and when you tell him to, is the working theory.
