I meant to make this meme ages ago when pride month was still on but yeah gé (pronounced gay) is the Irish for a goose.

My dad raises grass-fed beef cattle and I help him sell it, mainly by maintaining an online presence. For a while, I kept having the most ridiculous conversations with people who I assume were marketing students. I didn't want to be rude so I'd try to let them down gently but this one guy just kept insisting that with his magical marketing skills he could grow our business.

What he could not seem to comprehend is that we could not grow our business, at least not without significant time and monetary investment. Cows take two years from pregnancy to the size that you can sell. If we buy adult cows, our margins become razor thin or even negative. Even if we somehow could acquire some cows, our barn and hay fields are already near maximum capacity. Renting another field would be relatively easy, building a bigger barn not so much.

Cows are living animals, they aren't widgets that can be produced infinitely. Besides that, many businesses inherently cannot grow, because if they do they'll become something else. The delicious bakery down the street cannot produce much more than they do, if they began mass marketing and production they'd eventually be selling the equivalent of Twinkies. We grow grass-fed, organic beef, if we expanded how long would that last? Eventually we'd become the very factor farms that we hate. Some things can only ever be made on a small scale and they are usually the best things.

But also, what are they teaching them at marketing school and how is it so disconnected from reality?

dnd paladin character concept: a knight raised alongside a magic user, who loves his friend, considers them family — but the magic user through a twist of fate ascends to godhood, vanishing from normal human life. so the knight swears fealty to the fledgling god so he can have some connection to them even still & the god who loves him dearly in return blesses him with gifts and divine powers as a way to reach back toward him, back toward earth. this paladin’s vows are easy to keep, like second nature… and prayer is both automatic and personal

If the world is flat, maybe they implemented all the worlds on the same map? So if you can get past that Great Ice Wall, you'll end up on the moon, Mars, Venus, or Mercury, depending on each way you go.

We just need to try running a boat backwards until it gains enough speed to clip right through to the Sea of Tranquility.

and since the tile map doesn't reload if you don't go through the proper load point, you can keep sailing right through the regolith just like it was salt water. Real handy for getting to Ceres and Eros.

“paid subscription with ads” is fucking crazy. if you pay for a service and then get served an ad on said service you should be allowed to pipe bomb its executive at no legal risk

I found a new mode of transit for the MBTA to use, I'm sure the streets of Boston will handle 3-ton flywheels that need to be charged every 3 miles very well.

This isn’t even the craziest flywheel based transportation wait until you hear about the brennan monorail
