Mmm, not really.
You can’t just slaughter civilians willy nilly. Well, you can, obviously, as shown by what’s going on in the world, but international laws say you shouldn’t.
Iran could legally intern any Americans, but civilians wouldn’t still be POW’s. And should technically have rights and whatnot.
Eh, if the food hygiene standards are good, why not?
I’m sorry there’s no English version of this, even though at this point these guys had done their s3 of Madventures in English. Check it out. But this is in Finnish, Mad Cook. In this episode they’re cooking pigeon. Just a street pigeon. There’s some guy in Helsinki who has government approval to shoot pigeons in Helsinki for the city or smth, so it was fresh, not a corpse they found.

Graphic warning if you’re avoiding seeing where chicken nuggets actually come from.
I wouldn’t say “high”. Depends on where you’re hunting and the diseases that are known to exist in that area.
Although there is no evidence of CWD transmission from badgers to other animals, including humans, the possibility cannot be completely ruled out.
Chronic Wasting Disease, as in if a badger ate some diseased deer brain or something. But as of now, no evidence of it, so I wouldn’t call that “high risk”, but that’s just my personal risk calculation.
Trichinosis is a risk here, but as long as you properly cook the meat, so that it’s all above 75C, it’s fine.
RFK Jr probably ate some diseased thrash panda raw from the grill of his car.
What would you, specifically, find to be a tolerable amount of ads?
Was that lamb properly cleaned?
Idk. Perhaps not? I would assume yes, though, as it was from a local butcher’s. Wouldn’t know, though.
I’ll try some nice cut of an adult sheep sometime. I’m not too keen on the morality of eating lamb anyway. Game meat is better in that sense, imo. But also better just as meat.
Horse is somewhat unusual but I really got into it when the horsemeat scandal was on as back then there was mince for sale in stores for some reason, idk why. But it was crazy cheap compared to good quality beef. It’s still a bit cheaper, but not much.
Boar would probably be good, because it’s like pork, but actually an animal that has exercised plenty. I wonder what bear tastes like, but I don’t think I’ll have the opportunity to try that out anytime soon, although there is bear spam in a supermarket near me. Never really enjoyed canned meats, eww. Perhaps I’ll order some frozen at some point in the future if I really care to, but eh, I’m not that keen.
It’s protected in the UK, I believe, but it’s classified as “least concern” on the IUCN Red List.
I don’t recall ever seeing one in the wild myself but there is a hunting season for them in Finland. Or rather it’s classified as a game animal and there’s a time during which hunting it is not allowed. No hunting season, per se. Oh and apparently there’s a risk of trichinosis, so it’s mainly killed for the pelt and for fear of it harming small game and birds. (Is what I read just now, not my opinion.)
I don’t mind fatty, necessarily. Especially when it comes to game, as they’re often really lean. I’d be every interested to know the scent and flavour it has.
I tried lamb a few months ago and eugh, it has a flavour I just actively dislike. Even when I tried dousing it in garlic and other spices. Perhaps it’s the cruelty tasting through, idk. Horse, reindeer, moose and deer are all pretty great, but they’re all medium to large herbivores, so, rather similar-ish.
Hmm.
Thrash diet probably doesn’t make them too tasty. Someone mentioned badger and now I’m wondering what they’re like, given they can eat hundreds of Earthworms a day.
What’s wrong with eating badger?
I’m going to be eating horse tonight.
Although eating large herbivores is seen as “more normal” than eating small omnivores. But I bet the badger’s diet makes the meat… interesting, to say the least.
I wonder if there’s any good eating on them.
“Israeli foreign minister indirectly threatens a foreign ambassador who’s spoken out against the genocide”
Yeah the message here is pretty clear.
The worst part wasn’t the experience itself. Hell — I’ve had trips that felt scarier.
The worst part is people questioning that it ever happened and straight up ignoring it.
So you’ve helped me more to deal with that particular trauma than my mom, who went “well I couldn’t know what happened there” as in implying “perhaps you did something to deserve it”, actually causing most of the related trauma.
So yeah. Thank you.
Well I got tortured in a cell for three days and can’t get a single Finnish person to even accept that it happened.
They won’t talk about it either. They’ll just shut down, completely.
Just like your systems, theyre good on paper.
But do tell me how a person could feasibly manage to hurt themselves and write a fucking novel with their own blood on the cell walls while under constant supervision for “his safety”?
Afterwards when I tried getting the video of that with lawyers, it’s “vanished”, despite them originally trying to say I “vandalised the cell” by going crazy and drawing with blood.
They denied me my prescription medication, personal rights are honestly a fucking joke in Finland. We’re so bureaucratic it’s gone authoritarian.
It’s ludicrous.
I also didn’t have the mattress or the blanket, they took hose away too. Three days, lights on constantly, no explanation how long I would be here for, no medication, I didn’t eat.
Yeah, police accountability is a complete joke in Finland, much more so than in the US. There may be more overall abuses in the US, our cops generally play nice on the street. But behind closes doors?
Hell, Finnish people literally don’t understand that we actually have rights.
At one point they turned of my water in the cell. That’s literally against international laws.
I’ve tried complaining to officials and journalists and even my own family don’t believe me. My mom fucking victim blamed me for it.
In the US I would’ve definitely found a lawyer willing to fight such clear injustice (as in a golden case). I’d be a fucking millionaire for the compensations.
But here, even when I do manage a small win like
https://www.hs.fi/suomi/art-2000009654524.html
That, actually the supreme court of Finland deciding I was in the right and my rights were violated? Zero compensation. Fuck, no-one even let me know, I learned it from the news.
So yeah. Police accountability here is a goddamn joke.
Seriously, though. Name one in which you think police accountability isn’t a joke.
Maybe in countries where police accountability isn’t a punchline.
Name one.
Thanks.
I’ve had training. And I’m not talking about my military training, but the several years I spent in customer service.
Ukraine soldiers are trained for 3 months. There can’t be much infrastructure needed for an attack since the battle is on enemy territory when it starts.
Dude. Stop. You don’t know what you’re talking about, and every addition is making it more cringe.
I have the training to train basic jaegers in two weeks. Those are the simple infantry for the front. More specialised soldiers, like NCO’s, especially specialist NCO’s like me, take far longer to train. You know in strategy games it takes longer and costs more to churn our specialised soldiers?
Imagine that you have a league of legends/starcraft/CIV game going and at more than halfway through you decide to just sell all your units and pivot entirely? How would that ever make sense in any game, if not as some weird YouTube challenge? No actual pro-player would ever try something as silly.
That’s a rhetorical example that I hope will convey some of what I’m trying to communicate, since you don’t seem to understand how complex military strategy on a national level is. It’s not like a sentence or two. It’s systems upon systems relying on other systems which are regulated by resources or practical necessities, leaning on other things which are dictated by something else entirely etc etc.
Iraq, Libya and others. At worst we call it a special military operation in support of Ukraine.
So you’re genuinely advocating breaking international law? You don’t actually care about morals? That’s… off-putting, to say the least.
“After these comments…”
Was it you who commented earlier in the thread about something something “fantasy, not reality”? Because you live in some weird warmongering fantasy war fetish laa-laa land. There’s no fucking NSA looking at what people have been writing if you’re conscripted to be infantry. You’re taught how to march, then how to obey, then given a gun, taught how to shoot it, then how to shoot it while moving forward, then taught how to move forwards while shooting it under enemy fire, then how to move while shooting while under enemy fire and communicating with your group (or listening to your group leader/fighting pair).
So, which country is it then? Because you’re saying “we will attack…” but see if there was an offensive from Europe to Russia, it’s highly likely I would be fighting, but I suspect you wouldn’t.
So perhaps stop it with the childish warmongering.
Edit and yes, there is a need to wait for Ukraine EU membership, which there’s attempts to rush through, but international politics don’t work as willy-nilly as online forums. You can’t pretend to ignore global geopolitics.
I don’t think you understand just how large thing a country’s entire military strategy is. You don’t just up and change it like getting a new patch on your favourite game.
There’s infra built literally almost a century ago for these very purposes, the entire reserve would need to be retrained basically.
That’s how we’ve been able to keep Russia from attacking us since the previous bout; by being extremely prepared to defend against an attack.
Also, surely you’re aware that wars of aggression are banned in international law? We can’t just attack Russia with thr combined might of EU armies, as it stands rn.
That’s why we need to get Ukraine to the EU, so that then it’s not a war of aggression, but honoring the mutual defense clause.
That’s also why Russia is pulling off their sabotage like cutting cables and jamming GPS, etc. Because as long as it’s not a direct military attack, EU cannot respond with military force.
Oh and, in which country’s military forces would you be participating in this attack fantasy?
To disregard their existence is to pretend they don’t matter at all, which is incredibly naive.
There’s no perfect compliance, no, but if they weren’t respected at all and had no effect, the situations would be different.
For instance yeah, Russia has apparently brought out WWI style choking agents and used them. But there’s no widespread use at least, and no mustard gas. Which would be more effective for Russia to do. But they don’t, as they want to keep plausible deniability so that Europe doesn’t gain an actual reason to mount an offensive.
So yeah, while you are right in that psychotic asshats don’t care about them, they are affected by them nonetheless.
Basically ROE says that medics shouldn’t be shot, but my brother trained as a medic and one of the first things they’ve we’re unofficially taught was to hide their crosses on the battlefield, as Russians would literally aim at medics. (Finnish army.)
