Hell yeah. His videos are great. Forgot to mention him. My wife actually got interested in the cinnamon candy episode.

Salmon, holy crap. I saw them at the Cattle Club in sac around 30 years ago. Still have my Paco, Drop the Chicken CD somewhere.

I have noticed that his videos over the last couple of years have bumped production quality but felt flat. I honestly only really enjoy his early stuff. How hipster-esque lame is that?

I have blocked a few that I don’t even remember the names of because sponsorships start polluting the content.

I try to take the content for what it’s worth and consider why they are producing the content/message. Starts sounding (externally) commercial, I generally stop watching. Some of these I haven’t watched recently, so I hope they are keeping it real for the most part. I partially blame the platform as well because it doesn’t pay to make the content like it used to. YouTube is pretty crap now for content creators in this genre

Ha, yeah. That’s true about some of those channels. Kinda forgot about the age aspect. Like a lot of Simone’s videos have a bit of language, though she is awesome. I see her as far more as a maker than a science communicator. Not entirely sure why she was suggested a couple of times.

I can see that. I, like you, appreciate the content, but I have found myself watching fewer of his videos. I guess that’s also because he seems to be farming out his content production now. I like the self-produced stuff more than larger-scale productions.

In addition to the others mentioned.

Translated: We are cowards and the current president is a ridiculously fragile crybaby who can bury us all if we produce data that indicates he is polling worse than the previous president, who he claims was the worst of all time. We have no spine, no balls, no integrity, and welcome our tissue-skinned commander-in-chief into our eagerly-awaiting spread cheeks.

Seems to be a common theme nowadays.

Listen here you little shit…

It’s not a risk if you know what you are doing. Then again I don’t forage for mushrooms that look like phalloides, besporigeras or marginatas. I stick with ones that are easily identifiable like Lions Mane, Oyster, Lobster, chanterelles, morels, porcinis, matsutakes and the like.

It gets you outdoors and learning your land, even if you are just observing/documenting and not collecting for food. That said, I don’t get the people that roll the dice with iffy picks or trusting roadside vendors without experience. They are crazy. Amatoxin death sounds gnarly.

I’m living in Baaaakersfieeeeld, I’m at a, month-long, Kid Rock festival…

Bold strategy.

Fair point.

Like this is supposed to be shocking anymore. It’s expected, and yet accepted for some insane reason. Good times, good times.

And that’s disregarding the mountain of other shit this guy has done just in this term, let alone the last ten years. The man is trash, and 30% of the US identifies with him. JFC

It’s got his name/brand on it. Of course it’s a grift. Is anyone seriously stupid enough to be blind to that anymore? It’s basically all he does, apart from crying about getting his feelings hurt and being a willfully ignorant dickhead. It’s incredible that we are even talking about this.

We the People of the United States can.

Goddamnit. That was the first thing that came to mind.

Washing his hands after brushing his hair. Cleaning the top of his natty ice before chugging. Disposing of his scabs in a proper container. Bleaching his wifebeaters weekly. Flossing after every cigarette.

Well, we are certainly gaining enough downhill momentum to get us back up somewhere.

Go back to Africa.
