We have also invented ways to do it more sustainably, and even have handy wallet sized Sustainable Seafood Lists for each region of the US to make sure you make sustainable choices when eating at restaurants or purchasing at the market

Fish can and do eat you

[–] [email protected] -3 points 9 months ago

You are deliberately not answering the question.

"If every person that ate fish was out there...." exactly - they purchase fish caught commercially because either they don't know how to catch their own fish or they don't have access to catch their own fish (access either with time, money, or physically). Commercial fishing solves that by precisely doing it "at scale a lot more efficiently" as you pointed out and ships the fish to where people will purchase it.

I didn't ask "what if everyone went out and did it themselves"

I asked your thoughts on people who DO fish for themselves, or those using traditional fishing practices.

OP didn't specify commercial fishing. What about traditional fishing practices, or a singular fisher catching for himself/family?

"whoops, there's too much milk left over, I'll just add some cereal"

"Oh no, now my milk is finished, but I still have cereal left, I'll just add some more milk"

"Well now I have extra milk again, time for more cereal"

I see where you're going....

Where I grew up it was k-2: primary, 3-5: elementary, 6-8: middle, 9-12: high.

Where I moved after college had primary, intermediate, and high; elementary, intermediate, and high; elementary, junior high, and high; all combinations, but I didn't know the grade levels.

The instant I saw this picture, I thought of the Parks and Rec scene:
"That's not really the attitude I expect from an award winner."
"Everything I do is the attitude of an award winner, because I have won an award."

That should be the case for the picture "Everything I do is manly because I am a man." And the same for the person you are responding to "Everything I do is gay/straight/other because I am gay/straight/other." That one part of someone's identity has no bearing on defining the rest of them - ie, being gay means that he's attracted to men but doesn't define what he wears, how he acts, etc.

"but what about--?"
"There can be no question!!"

"left" is an encompassing umbrella term. You can't complain when you ask where the lemon squares are and people say "we didn't bring lemon squares" and your reply is "but you said you were bringing dessert!" Dessert=left in this analogy and lemon squares=tankie/communist.

I often remind people, also, that politics is an entire sphere of ideologies, and if you are only looking Left and Right you are missing and incredible amount of viewpoints and information.

In another comment, you compared coming up a viewing and fitting into a niche like looking over a menu when you could have had steak the whole time. You've forgotten that steak isn't everyone's favorite meal. And even for those that it is, there are still infinite ways to enjoy it: marinated and grilled, sauteed with mushrooms and gravy, seared with goat cheese and spinach, and so many more. Additionally, what sides, what appetizer, what dessert, what wine pairing..... All the different combinations you can think of are how many different combinations of viewpoints there are. There's no one-size-fits-all, even for people that call themselves the same thing.

And just because you have one perfect "meal" at one time in your life doesn't mean that you won't have a chance of taste later on, either as you learn new things, world events change, a New life stage in your personal life changes what you feel is important, or anything else, and that's OK.

Supported the poaching, or were victims to it and still trying to make a dollar where they can? #victimblaming
