Fuck prisons, nearly every time I hear about them it’s because of something like this.
The US injustice system is rotten to the core and needs to be torn down
What an inhumane, shitty system.
Time for me to plug a book again: The End of Policing. Completely ripped the mask off of a system I already knew to be rotten. We can afford to do better. We don't because the greater "we" don't care.
Wouldn't be surprised if Alex Jones used this as evidence that "the globalists" are gonna make us eat bugs. They're already experimenting on the inmates!
What the fuck is conspiracy theorists' obsession with being forced to eat bugs? And why are they such wusses that that is gross to them?
It's weird because as conspiracy theorists there also tends to be an overlap with preppers, who would be the first people to eat bugs if they had to.
Real preppers would, yes. These dudes are just ammosexuals with delusions of grandeur.
Yeah my girlfriend preps. She has not succeeded in convincing me to try crickets. I’ll stick with my beans.
I've never tried them but from what I have heard, they basically just taste like a crunchy version of what ever spice you are getting them with. You only really get flavor with the bigger things. I'm not opposed to eating bugs but have not come across the opportunity to have them since I have been willing to eat them.
Yeah theoretically I’m fine with it but it’s a good I feel disgust towards eating so don’t want to partake in.
If you are in the US, this might help :)
I’m sure you can order most of these things online.

Thanks. But it's not something I feel like actively seeking out. However, if I see some fried crickets at a farmer's market or chocolate covered grass hoppers at small store, I would be happy to try them out.
Totally fair. I first had crickets when I was a kid (in a sucker from a museum. I was the only one in my class trip willing to buy and consume it), so it doesn’t bother me at all, but I get the squick.
This is true.

Jake would love that place.
