    Actually a bear is very unlikely to come after you. I come from an extremely rural part of Alberta, Canada, and large bears would sometimes wander in and near town. They wouldn’t run around swiping people up and murdering them, they would just basically wander around eating garbage and looking for food. The reality is that if you were in the woods with a random bear, unless it was starving or you were near its Cubs, it likely wouldn’t see you as important.

    I’ll tell you what though. The bodies of indigenous women would get found in the woods sometimes. Bears didn’t put them there, men did.


  • The concept of being vegan originated from a newsletter for vegetarian recipes in the UK, in the '60s, I believe. It was purely for recipes. Veganism was an offshoot of this newsletter that, from day one, was far more ideological. The people who ran this newsletter immediately succumb to much of the infighting common amongst the vegan community online today. It wasn’t about a diet, it was about who could be the better person by being the most vegan.

    I hate to break it to you, but vegans have been preachy and annoying since the concept originated.

    I started playing at 14. I am now 36 and am a extremely proficient player. A good friend of mine has been playing since he physically could hold a guitar, effectively his entire life. While he is a far superior musician to me, the difference between our abilities can only really be seen in the extremely minut details, details only other musicians can notice. We’re effectively peers.

    My point is that it’s never too late to start playing music. The world begins to suck a little less when a new musician is born.
