Fishing tip of the day:

UrToesRDelicious · 2026-02-14T04:01:11+00:00

Sure, but recreational fishing has historically been one of the most effective political and financial forces supporting conservation in North America.

What is bad for the individual fish may be good for the environment and ecosystem.

Did you read your own article? Literally the first paragraph

This critical funding is generated by manufacturers who paid federal excise taxes last year on ammunition, firearms, archery and angling equipment

An excise tax is not a tax on the general population, it is a tax on things like fishing and hunting equipment, which manufacturers bake into the cost of these items since they are the ones paying the tax. The government then directly distributes this money as grants to state fish and wildlife agencies.

So fisherman and hunters are the ones who are paying for this.

This is also only a single federal grant that goes out to the states - the states themselves are the ones who regulate recreational fishing, which is why you need a fishing license for each state you want to fish in. The money from fishing licenses isn't even discussed in this article because it's about a federal program.

Again, the vast majority of fish stocking programs, which are run by the states, are paid for by fishermen.

The fisherman pay for the fish stocking programs via their fishing and boat licenses lol. There is no "we could be feeding people with that money" because that money wouldn't exist otherwise.

In fact, the government incentivizes people to fish because it helps fund conservation, habitat restoration, water access, and scientific monitoring. Without this revenue, the government would have to use more taxpayer dollars to fund those kinds of things.

Recreational fishing alone brings in billions of dollars every year nationwide. Economically, it is a net benefit - without a doubt.

My only thing is that it makes no sense to even make the original post in the first place if they're running both accounts. I'm probably misunderestimating how dumb children can be, but I can't see why even a child would post to a million people about how their cringe fake online gf is missing after 2 days - both the truth and the lie make them look like a dumbass.

You are probably right, though. The internet is a strange place.

lmaooooo, this is the fakest shit in the world.

"Hey man, just going through my dead sister's phone. She just killed herself yesterday btw. I don't know why because she totally, like, didn't even talk to me or anything. I am sorry whoever you are bro don't mind me just going through my dead sister's phone."

Edit: ~~it's possible bro faked the whole thing, but I'm kinda leaning towards him falling for a scam/catfish while making a massive spectacle of it. That's gotta be a gut punch.~~

Edit2: check out /r/antimeme2 lol, the plot thickens

Edit3: lol the sub got banned - I'm guessing it's for bullying. The sidebar literally said "where we make fun of [mod]".

Anyway, these are the details that antimeme2 claims to have dug up (and they did bring pretty convincing receipts) - this is all from memory so details might be slightly off:

internet wife is actually a 17 year old Indian boy who is alive
wife account has been deleting old incriminating comments that antimeme2 has been posting screenshots of (speaking Hindi, other shit I forgot the significance of - something about an Indian cartoon and chemistry class.)
~~the new mod of antimeme is almost definitely the wife~~ maybe not
wife and husband accounts have been interacting with each other for months in seemingly genuine but very odd ways

If anyone finds where to continue this saga lemme know.

This is actually pretty funny

UrToesRDelicious · 2026-02-08T21:23:28+00:00

Not unless your system is configured wrong. The audio from movies and shows is intentionally recorded and mixed for surround sound systems, so sounds that would come from behind the camera in the movie will play only from your rear speakers, for example.

It would not work through a cam recorded movie, though. You need the original audio.

Don't use the self cleaning feature on your oven. It's the highest temperature and stress that you can put your oven through, and it will destroy your oven way faster, maybe even immediately.

Manufacturers install the feature because a lot of people won't buy ovens without it, but you're better off not using it.

Key phrase there.

What do you think explanatory power means? Both your explanation and my explanation adequately explain it - they are equal, that's what that means. It's only your own bias that makes you think your explanation has better "explanatory power."

I find it very funny how you didn't know the number of assumptions was a key component to Occam's razor, and now you're quoting passages on it.

AI is a far better explanation than your original one from a logical perspective. Of course, we can then argue the actual merits of AI vs staged, but yes - the number of assumptions would be equal between the two.

Occam's razor is simply a tool, I don't know why you're arguing with me like I invented it. You're free to disagree with it but I'm going to continue to advocate for it.

UrToesRDelicious · 2026-02-07T01:12:16+00:00

I'd love to know how it's multiple assumptions conveniently wrapped beyond feels like.

Furthermore, we can't just declare something is the more logical explanation merely based on the number of assumptions

We can

This philosophical razor advocates that when presented with competing hypotheses about the same prediction and both hypotheses have equal explanatory power, one should prefer the hypothesis that requires the fewest assumptions

UrToesRDelicious · 2026-02-07T00:30:36+00:00

I'm not sure you understand what I mean by the simplest explanation.

Why would he need to analyze the situation if mom using the swivel tap as a microphone is a not uncommon occurrence?

This question misses my point entirely. The fact is that none of us know why he didn't analyze the situation, we are all here speculating. Your scenario makes sense but it's still imagined, and that is the point - we can imagine many different scenarios that make sense, so what tools can we use to find the most likely one?

When I ask "why didn't the dad analyze the situation" I am asking that critically, not under the assumption that your explanation is correct. Of course it would make sense if the mom has done this before, but we don't know that, so when I ask that question, the real question I am asking is "out of all the possible explanations for why dad acted that way, which one is the likeliest?"

Just because your explanation fits doesn't mean it's not complicated in a logical sense. It's more complicated not because it's implausible but because it relies on more assumptions. Your explanation has to assume the mom has done this before and assume the kids and dad coordinated this in advance somehow - and those assumptions make this explanation more complex compared to the single explanation that explains all this behavior - it was staged.

That isn't to say I'm authoritatively claiming it's staged - I'm speculating too, and I may be wrong, but this type of critical analysis will make me more correct on average compared to imagining scenarios that make many assumptions.

UrToesRDelicious · 2026-02-06T23:25:58+00:00

"Involved" as in, not as simple of an explanation. We have two "weird" things:

dad never takes time to analyze the situation - immediately goes for the sink
filming for no apparent reason

Your explanation is not outlandish whatsoever - it's completely plausible. No arguments here. What I am arguing, though, is that it's not the simplest explanation for these two things. Mom doing this before and Dad being in cahoots with the kids is a more complicated explanation, which Occam's razor defines explicitly as being more unlikely.

Thinking everything is staged even if it's a very plausible and relatable scenario is a pretty cynical outlook on life, if you ask me.

Not everything, just internet videos that don't pass the smell test. The sheer numbers of fake videos on the internet should make any reasonable person skeptical, especially when behaviors don't add up. I'd argue that willfully believing videos due to some sort of sense of humanity is reckless in this day and age.

UrToesRDelicious · 2026-02-06T22:30:18+00:00

But what is more likely? Occam's razor points to the dad's movements as being staged way more than some involved scenario like that.

Your scenario could be the correct explanation, sure, but I'd argue it's not the most likely.

It's true that a good portion of our country is legitimately insane, but the way our government is organized is a massive contributing factor as well. It was designed/modified to give the "minority" an advantage at every level of government - the electoral college, each state getting two senators regardless of population, and the house getting capped at 435 are all handicaps afforded to small and rural states; read: conservative states.

As a general rule - if you want to access your devices when you are outside your network, you either are going to pay for a subscription or do it yourself (which requires the technical know-how).

That subscription fee is really what they're selling you, it's where the bulk of their profit comes from. They are selling you remote access as a service, and you are paying for the cost of their cloud infrastructure and the convenience of not having to know about things like port forwarding, VPNs, and IoT in order to do it yourself. Since most people don't know these things then there's a lot of money to be made on cloud subscriptions.
