  • No offense, but that opinion is clearly uneducated or misinformed; the sheer numbers that die en route from genetic inferiority completely dwarf the combined numbers of those taken by predators along the way — including humans. Furthermore, fishing for salmon during their spawning season is as much a test of an angler’s skill as it is about their wilderness survival fluency. Every single predator in that biome is out for salmon if they can get it, and many of them give little to no fucks at all about disemboweling the competition — including humans. Couple that with the fact that the male salmon have a singular, monosyllabic purpose and it’s mostly the females that are taking in food at any opportunity (unless you fashion a bait ball of salmon eggs for the males to instinctively destroy as a threat), and you’ve got yourself one helluva challenge on several fronts.







  • Yes, yes, blame the other crabs in the bucket. That’s the way to the top, for sure.

    Also, the “woe is poor me & my wholly unique predicament” trope is yet another spoonful of bullshit you’ve been fed. We’re all underpaid, overworked, and unlucky — and no one is different in that. Begin the sympathizing with yourself, and see we’re all against the fucking world out here.

    You do you, at the end of the day, though. The only thing at stake is your happiness.
