I don't know why I find this so hilarious.

You might be interested in subvertising which actively works to reclaim the spaces invaded by advertising.
One could, in theory, download the posters and put them up over the relentlessly shite, unasked for adverts that permeate every part of your city. One could even buy a key which opens certain advert spaces - such as bus stops - and replace them with any image of your choosing. Obviously this is illegal and no one would ever do this, however, I assume wearing a hi-vis vest and beanie hat would work surprisingly well when not doing this illicit activity. Also, complain about the hourly rates if questioned and you'll absolutely be left alone.
Okay, if we're getting serious about it, I'm not sure I agree cruelty scales up alongside intelligence. It's an interesting take, but, as you say, it's an entirely human concept which doesn't really exist outside of our own conceived morality and can't be applied to beings which aren't capable of understanding it.
Put it this way: a cat batting a mouse around isn't considering its actions cruel or even considering its actions in a wider context at all. A human doing the same would be doing both. However, by that logic, animals aren't capable of any other abstract thought such as compassion, empathy and altruism. We are. It might be the case that everything abstract scales up with intelligence which, yes, leads to concepts such as 'cruelty' but also all the other amazing shit humans are capable of.
Sorry man, but I can't stop laughing at you calling an entire animal species 'evil'. Not only that, but 'notoriously evil'. Like there's a chapter in the Bible devoted to the tale of a dolphin riding Jesus up his dead arsehole.
Yeah, you weren't joking . Which is probably for the best given the amount of people here who have no idea what a joke is.
Exactly. Being close to pissing myself in the cinema due to the incessant false summit endings soured that film a bit. Rewatching the extended version at home was amazing though.
My dad sailed. This brought back great memories of him trying (and mostly failing) to teach me knots when I was 10. Thanks for posting this.
No worries man! Yeah, they're fantastic
