    I catch myself going on socialist rants at the slightest provocation these days so I’m thinking maybe Scully is wrong here

      Scully eventually ended up being genuinely wrong most of the time. The show didn’t want to drop her “scientific straightman” role as Mulder’s foil, but damn the evidence became stacked for the paranormal

        That’s one reason why I’m not a fan of the show, it was in a long list of a lot of 90’s media that portrayed skeptics as “naive” and “unwilling to accept evidence”, and believers as always right, when in reality it’s the other way around.

            IPAs used to be good.

            Then everyone and their brother started a brewery and every beer became “oops all hops”

            The same thing also happened to sour beers.

        The necessity of the sedentary growing of barley and hops for brewing beer is the only thing that is kind of holding me back from reverting to full on mammoth hunter.

          I can’t help but feel that the general lack of mammouths may also put a bit of a crimp on that plan. Sorry to burst your bubble. Maybe you could diversify a little? Maybe start with squirrels and work your way up?
