They're not really that bad. The bones get soft and kinda crumbly when they're cooked in the chicken. They only get brittle when they're allowed to dry after the meat is stripped off. The whole "shards of bone will pierce their stomach/intestines" idea is kind of a myth. They're still a choking hazard, but that's true for any bones, cooked or not.

I'm sure I'll get a few people who want to link some blog that says otherwise, but that's what the emergency vets told me the first time my dog ate fried chicken.

    For me, gaming got me into hunting lol. Specifically RDR2 and theHunter.

    I also started thinking more about the ethics of meat consumption. I basically decided that I should be participating if I continue to eat meat. My dad hunts deer, so I told him I'd go with him if he bought me a rifle.

    You're missing the point. Actors and musicians don't want to represent the public. But that's literally the only thing politicians are supposed to do. Their personal lives have a huge influence on society.

    People who want to delve into the lives of celebrities are parasocial weirdos. People who delve into the lives of politicians are journalists.

    No. Celebrities don't always ask to become famous. And people should be able to make art without being public figures.

    Politicians are public figures by definition. They constantly campaign to remain in public consciousness. And they're supposed to represent us. They have up their right to privacy as soon as they ran for office.

    Paparazzi are scum, though. There's a reason we don't call them journalists.
