Premium Fresh Young Chicken



Yesterday, while on a drive, I got behind a truck and took this picture. (During a roughly half-hour period on the road, I came across three more such trucks.) I could smell the truck from so close, and the smell was not good. These chickens were dirty and lame, unable to stand up even if they had the room to do so. Some were throwing their legs around, attempting to stand. I wondered what it must be like for them to see the outside world for the first time in their lives. Of course, there is also the heat and the wind (blowing feathers from the truck as it drove), but the outdoors, even if from behind bars, may have excited them a bit. Who knows what they would find in this whole new world that they had not known even an hour earlier? Maybe their lives would change for the better. Well, that did not pan out. As I kept driving straight, the truck turned right...into a processing plant with a sign boasting "Premium Fresh Young Chicken". Well, that was their glimpse of the world...at least for those few closest to the outside bars of the cages. (All the others in the interior of the cages could see was other chickens.)

If you would like to know the end of the story (skipping some of the more gory details), here it is, at the Tyson product link below:

Mind you, they got an average one-star rating, with one review saying, "I purchased 3 chickens to fry for my familys Sunday dinner for what they cost they were nasty. I spent over an hour just cleaning them of the pin feathers that was left on them...the meat was also bruised. For what they cost it seems you could clean them better."

Nothing against the chickens, of course. They can't help being "nasty" and "bruised".

2020 Was (Will Be) An Inside Job

My Election Prediction: Trump will lose. I think that the collusion of corporate media with big tech is too powerful for the minds of regular people to resist. The propaganda was non-stop, and enough people have fallen for it. I think that without the censorship, and with a modicum of objectivity in the media, Trump would win. Sure, people have their own reasons for supporting both Trump and Biden (= not Trump). Some of those reasons on both sides are sound. But a decent percentage of people are mindless consumers of propaganda, and these people will ultimately decide the election. 2016 shocked the deep state and their corporate overlords, but since their stunning loss, they made sure to do everything in their power so as not to suffer a similar defeat this time. They covered all of their bases, along with the mouths of those whose speech they feared. Meanwhile, Americans as a group no longer really care about the freedom of speech, and many are lukewarm on the idea of America ...

Fighting Klanophobia I'm always hurt when I see bigots offend groups of people.  All too often, people paint a group, "the other" with a broad brush and stereotype them as being evil, even though the crimes that are associated with them are only committed by a tiny minority fringe element within the larger group. Such is the case with the Ku Klux Klan.  Most people don't like to associate with them.  There is a lot of prejudice directed towards that group, particularly among blacks and Jews, but this hate is widespread.  If you see a klansman wearing his cultural garb, how do you feel?  Do you become nervous?  Do you think that he'll do something violent?  If so, you're part of the problem. The KKK is an organization of peace.  Most of its members are peaceful and only want to go about their lives without being harmed...like most people in this world.  Sure, there are a few members who preach hate, but that's true in almost every grou...

Photo-Realistic Video Game Graphics Have Arrived!

This is actual gameplay of "Unrecord", a video game that it set to be released in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qvVNzsJyB0 It's the most photo-realistic game I've ever seen! It looks like it's actually from the body-cam of a police officer. It's not the most beautiful game I've seen, but real body-cam footage isn't. There's no amazing sky because in these videos, the sky is often just blown-out white. Yet doing that in itself is quite incredible! Sometimes, "photo-realism" isn't what one would expect. You have to actually inspect real videos to see their characteristics and then translate that to a video game. They've done a nearly perfect job of it. By the way, there is also a racing game that has already been released, which I heard about just after viewing this Unrecord clip. That game is called "Ride 4", and below is a link to that. Again, it's not the most beautiful game. It's pretty...
