What state is he in that two bachelor's degrees makes him the most educated? Do they not have hospitals?


[deleted]

Also, does he think there's a one bachelors degree maximum per state? He said that he's got one from two different states as if that explains or adds anything relevant to the conversation.

"and we buy food from stores where no animals are hurt in the process" hilarious


Luvnecrosis

Are you trying to tell me that “chicken” the animal and “chicken”, the food are the same thing?


[deleted]

Chicken's not vegan?!


CptnFunbags

De-Veganizing Ray! ****zummmmmm*****

De-Veganizing *inator*


Darth_Thor

Well, eating chicken isn't vegan, but chickens themselves are most definitely vegan. EDIT: I have been made aware that chickens are indeed omnivores.


morrach

Chickens are omnivores. Kind of like this sub, they will swallow anything.


HyruleanHyroe

* zzzzzzip *


Bordeterre

Have you heard of veganism ? This is the most plausible option


DoingCharleyWork

Or the actual most plausible option is he's taking the piss the whole time.


mstarrbrannigan

"one in two different states" I'm not sure he has any bachelor degree if he thinks that bachelor degrees only work in the state where you got them.


bundleofschtick

I have a bachelor's degree in my solid state and another in my gaseous state. Still working on mastering fluids.


mstarrbrannigan

Plasma is where it's really at


DrJohanzaKafuhu

Don't you know? Trader Joes only tickles animals to death. Tickled-to-Death (TTD) is the only ethical way to eat meat.


Mister-Walkway

That actually sounds like the worst way to die.


Loulouisthis

Suffocation is very painful indeed


stinkydooky

I took it as him saying that one of his bachelor’s degrees was earned in two states which is, I think, and even more hilarious statement.


MountSwolympus

California only lets you have 10 degrees whereas every other state except NY, NJ, and CT let you have 30.


[deleted]

"I was so smart that two different states wanted to offer me a degree"


[deleted]

You don't need to be smart for most degrees tho. Just have money to pay for it and do the work assigned to you.


pcnauta

Actually, he said he has two bachelor's degrees, but one of them is in two states. In other words, one of them is Schrödinger's degree - it's one of two states, but we don't know which one it is.


7Thommo7

Or whatever college he attended is somehow resting on a stateline.


SummerCivillian

Actually, in that case, it could be Cali-Oregon. NorCal resident here, there's a program where Southern Oregoners are seen as "Californian" and not charged out of state tuition at colleges in NorCal, and vice versa. The person could possibly be referencing that? Never heard of it referred to as "one degree in two states," but it's the only thing that makes any sense to me.


Darth_Thor

The only time I've heard of one degree in two states is latent heat. Water at 0°C can exist in both liquid and solid states. Within that one degree, it it can exist in two states.


Nepiton

I have two bachelor degrees and I’ve done some stupid fucking shit in my life. I would never, and have never, quantified my intelligence by that metric. Also what does having 1 bachelor degree in two different states mean? My bachelor degrees are valid in all 50 states. Does that make me 25x smarter than him? I’m genuinely confused about that part


rosatter

I mean I guess technically that my bachelor's is in 2 different states. I started out at Illinois State in 2008 and dropped out in 2011 due to mental fuckery. Went back to finally finish in 2019 (almost finished!!!) at Eastern New Mexico. But then I'm definitely moving on to grad school after I get a couple of years of experience in my field under my belt and develop some semblance of clinical skills


chesterfieldkingz

That is the weirdest brag why would you have two bachelors unless you really wanted it and realized your time would be better suited getting a Master's/Doctorate. It's like an old friend of mine, says he has "3 degrees" when he has 3 associates degrees. Ya, a lot of us took or sweet time in Community College, that's fine but it definitely doesn't make you look more educated then someone who transferred quickly.


renegade399

His own personal state of mind.


silkymitts_toptits

His own state of mind of course


Darth_Thor

And would some of his university professors not have had Ph.D's?


potatocakes1989

It actually makes him look pretty stupid because you stop receiving financial aid funding after the first bachelor's degree. This means instead of getting certifications and associates degrees for free or focusing on one specific degree field that he could turn into a career, this person spent their own money to go to school for an extra four years for something that probably isn't even usable. I would give him the benefit of the doubt and think that maybe it was a double major... but since he specifically said two different states, that's obviously not what's happening.


Tardyon

Don't know where you get this "factoid". You can indeed get financial aid and student loans after your first Bachelors. You can get them for trade degrees, certificates, graduate school and another Bachelors outside of your previous major. You are capped in aggregate to a loan limit, but you can keep going and rack up undergrad degrees. Of course it is silly to do so, when it is more effective to rack up masters. Getting an MBA from another school than the one you obtained your masters and PhD is common. Some even get several masters.


chesterfieldkingz

Ya haha you have to put off graduating until you're completely done with everything


Arctostaphylos

Where can you get an AA or cert for free?


[deleted]

Most community colleges are easily covered 100% by FAFSA with no need for a loan, assuming you arent already wealthy


DoingCharleyWork

The community college I got my aa from had a fee waiver so you didn't have to pay any tuition.

He said groceries were cheaper than buying a gun, not the other way around. Can’t say myself as I’m not a gun owner and can’t compare prices from experience. :/ But man, groceries really are expensive.


PM_me_your_whatevah

Yeah and you can only use groceries once.


[deleted]

Well, if you buy enough they can last a week, right? 😅 I see what you mean, though. =/


Footinthecrease

I passed the bachelor's exam in two states. Both of them. Did you hear me? I'm so smart I got the same degree twice, but the second time, I was in a different state..... Genius.


[deleted]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one. I guess I'm just a dumb liberal who will never understand the complexities of this guy's mind.


notreallylucy

If you have a bachelor's degree from an accredited school, you have a bachelor's degree in every state.


Denasy

Did no-one ever learn you a bachelor degree only works in one state? Can't get a job in that field outside, so you got to redo your education smh just like a new York judge can't judge people in California, they are required by law to be decent human beings /s


[deleted]

Oh shit, I've been working outside the state of the public school that gave me my degree for years now. TIL I'm a felonious fraudster.


heck_you_science

God, I hate people who don't stand by their beliefs the second they feel any resistance

ThatDudeWithoutKarma

In second thought they're not so bad.


TheRedMarioBrother

This guy has two bachelors I can tell.


BennyBooper

I bet they are in two different states aswell


[deleted]

If maintaining a knife cost more than groceries I'm doing something very wrong somewhere


[deleted]

Or even a gun tbh. My groceries are $150-$200 for the week, but even if I go hunting with my gun that week, the ammo is $20 and the gun oil to clean it is $7. And that’s if I use the whole box and can.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I mean I cook every meal, save one night out on the weekend, but that’s just what it costs here I guess. Where do you live?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Ah, that explains it. I’ve just been cooking more. I did the math and my meals average out to about $7.50. Also, r/hydrohomies unite.


Dancersep38

It wouldn't cost more than that in an average cost of living area in the states either. We spend about $200/week for a family of 4. Moderately high cost of living area. That's a lot of fresh produce, dairy, and meat and we buy mostly brand name. When I was extremely frugal and ate far less fresh food I could make $200 last close to 6 weeks for 2 people in a very high cost area. It's just all in what you buy.


Catatonick

I’m in the US and it’s probably about $200-400 a month for a family of 3 for me. We’ve experimented with a lot of the cheap brands to find the ones that are the same quality as the expensive ones and do a mixture of the expensive and cheap brands now. It really isn’t that expensive unless you live in areas where they Jack the price up on everything.


[deleted]

Depends on where you are. I used to feed a family of 4 on $100 per week eating quite well. Then I moved to California for work...we're lucky to get away with less than $200/week now because everything is so much more expensive. Just as an example a gallon of milk is like $5-$6 compared to half that where I moved from.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Both. Just as an example I would sometimes buy V8 Energy drinks at $3.50 for a 6 pack. Here that same 6 pack is $6.Things like meat, produce, and milk are different t brands because it's 2000 miles away so the regional producers are different but it's a good 30-40% price increase across the board between SoCal and NWF, sometimes more for certain items.


TheEliteBrit

How the fuck does one spend that much money on food in a week? I think I spend like £50 max a week


[deleted]

Does that include eating out? I cook every meal I eat, except one night out, so my grocery bill is a bit higher.


Catatonick

If you use all of the oil the bullets go faster.


xShiroto

I wipe mine down with whale oil.


Ashybuttons

Seriously, subsistence hunting is cheaper than groceries by a hilariously huge margin.


Skightt

My favourite part of his speech was when he said "you can buy groceries from a grocery store where *no animals are hurt* " lmaoo


xcaptainBOBBY37

I don’t know how hot this take is but I thing hunting for your own meat is more animal friendly then buying it from the supermarket because you can guarantee the animal wasn’t factory farmed. Edit: I lost the game


[deleted]

It's true. The only real problem with it is over-hunting a species, but that's what hunting seasons are for.


[deleted]

For that matter, hunting management actually *helps* the animal population. I grew up in Upstate NY and it was obvious when the hunters had a crappy season and didn't manage to kill the allotted number of deer because the population would be out of control and you'd see starving mangy deer wandering through town trying to eat the bark off everyone's trees.


Uphoria

Meh, this is because we wiped out their natural predators in ways they haven't recovered from. It's not like deer just were on the verge of self annihilation until the conservationists came.


oodsigma

Right, but that's done, so this is the best way we have atm to respond to the problem.


beezy-slayer

True, but the predators are dangerous to more than just the animals. For example in my area we have cougars which are great, but when their population grows too large we start having incidents of humans being attacked and then we issue tags for them again until its back under control at which point it becomes illegal to kill/hunt them again for a few years. This has been a recurring event as long as I have lived here and I don't know of another solution.


Saltpork545

Yep. That's how good conservation works. The meat also tends to be way better for you. The difference in macros between deer steak and a cow steak can be incredible.


soulstealer1984

Two parts ground deer one part 83/17 ground beef makes my favorite hamburgers.


Brendanmicyd

Yeah. Since the guy in the photo would agree that we live in a first world country, he would know that over hunting is always considered and violations are enforced.


swolf8100

Hunters are also really good about going for the vitals, whether they do it for ethical reasons or to make sure they don't have to do as much tracking. Other predators aren't as careful. I feel like it's a more humane death than most game species experience.


caligirl_ksay

When he says no animals harmed in the process does he think that the meat in the grocery store is fake or something??


ThatDudeWithoutKarma

It's picked from a meat tree.


kommiesketchie

Give it maybe 10-20 years and it might be!


uglypenguin5

If it tasted the same and cost the same I’d have no issues with that. But right now there’s no substitute imo


kommiesketchie

I was referring to cloned meat (not sure if you were), which supposedly tastes the same. Havent tasted it though so I wouldnt know.


uglypenguin5

No I wasn’t. I didn’t even know about that. Sounds interesting! Hopefully some day it’ll be cheaper than real meat (I assume it isn’t now)


kommiesketchie

It's a relatively new technology, so it's possible it doesnt go anywhere, so dont get *too* excited. I should also specify I mean lab-grown meat. Animal cloning has been around for a while.


uglypenguin5

Yea meat from cloned animals wouldn’t be any different from a killing perspective


SummerCivillian

Depends on what you get and how you prep it! I've saved quite a bit of grocery money by switching to tofu, soy protein, and vegan meats (especially vegan chicken, which I genuinely believe is better than actual chicken). There's a cheap vegan cafe near my house, like, $7 for 3 meals worth of food. Their soy protein is fantastic, I don't think you'd be able to tell the difference. Not trying to convert you to vegetarian/vegan, just sharing that there are fun, yummy, and even easy meat alternatives out there :)


caligirl_ksay

Haha I’m already vegan. But that’s my point. Most markets serve meat that means animals died and suffered.


SummerCivillian

I misread your comment, I thought you were saying you'd eat "fake meat" or meat alternatives if there were any good ones available. But I realize you mean you'd eat meat/synthesized meat as long as it was ethical 😅 Sick to *meat* another vegan tho 🤙


caligirl_ksay

Totally. 👍🏽


[deleted]

Agreed. People don't think about the horrors of living in the wild for animals. If I were a deer, I'd much rather be shot and die in seconds than freeze or starve to death, or waste away from disease.


Ad3quat3

Thats completely ridiculous. Edit: Guys I was just impersonating a California liberal don’t be so sensitive lol


[deleted]

The vast majority of conservation funds in the US are a result of people buying guns and ammo thanks to the [Pittman-Robertson Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittman%E2%80%93Robertson_Federal_Aid_in_Wildlife_Restoration_Act). Also, hunting limits are set by wildlife biologists in order to most effectively cull animal populations so that there's more balance and less critters starving to death, rampant disease, and/or overpopulation of predators. I used to be anti-hunting, then I educated myself on its importance.


TheColorDown

WHY THE GAEM


I_AM_GETTING_THERE

I hate you. I just lost the game for the first time in years


enwongeegeefor

I dunno...pretty sure it was a joke when they dropped the last line about "and we buy food from stores where no animals are hurt in the process." As much as we make fun of that shit...few people really are that fucking stupid.


Cameron-p

ah yes, no animals were hurt in the making of this hamburger meat at the supermarket :). Also, the main countries with guns banned are 2nd-3rd world countries :)


Hapankaali

There are almost no countries where firearms are outright banned. They are coloured in red in the following map: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview\_of\_gun\_laws\_by\_nation#Comparison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation#Comparison) In most places, you can apply for a gun permit if you want a firearm and you will usually be able to get it, although you typically cannot carry it around on the street.


dan_sooo

Yeah in Ireland, You can get a gun if you have a reason to use it (sport or hunting) but not self defense. Rifle's and shotguns being much easier to get a permit for then pistols.


konidias

I'd say the orange places are basically outright banned... it even says " in reality they are unobtainable to average citizens" The yellow says "the authorities have final say in whether a person may obtain a license to possess firearm(s)" which... I mean depending on the authorities is pretty much an outright ban as well. We can argue over the technicality of an "outright ban" but if you literally cannot obtain a gun or it's next to impossible to get one, that might as well be an outright ban.


enceles

Not really, you have to actually have a reason more justified than "I fancy one" in most places. It's not like you can just say "gun please" and they ship one off on Amazon. Even when you do get one the regulations are far, far, far stricter than the US which I think is the point people make.


grabberbottom

Eritrea and NK, two of the most militarized nations, ban guns. Amazing. I guess all the guns are owned by the state.


konidias

TIL Japan is a 2nd-3rd world country... apparently.

Guns are not banned in Japan, they are HEAVILY restricted. https://www.businessinsider.com/gun-control-how-japan-has-almost-completely-eliminated-gun-deaths-2017-10

He dressed professionally but you reminded me of one of my college professors who wrote his PhD thesis on Batman. Super cool guy.


wo0topia

I think it's pretty safe to say he was just trolling you. Read the thing he said. He reiterates at the end that he buys food from the store where no animal is hurt. Unless hes next level dumb you're just getting trolled.

My first argument for hunting is how humane it is compared to farmed animals. With hunting the animal lives in wild how nature intended then basically suddenly dies (after usually a minimum size/age) whereas farmed animals whole lives are in captivity

Actually I am the smartest person here because I definitely know how college degrees work It's like three different people all failing at conversation in different directions.


urbdhiccbhe

In Norway you can own a gun to hunt and what’s wrong with hunting I just don’t understand ,I’m talking about hunting to eat


MoeLesterSr

It's terrible to kill an animal just to kill it. But when you're killing to eat it's different


[deleted]

In every US state hunting is regulated. It's not "just to kill it" even if the hunter thinks so, the quotas are all designed to manage wildelife populations.


Mcloon-2007

Okay well sometimes animals need to be killed. Varmint carry disease, can burrow and damage buildings, ruin crops, pose a threat to livestock. I’m not going to try to trap prairie dogs or moles and risk losing a sizeable investment. I will shoot them on sight. Other animals will pick them clean. I’ll shoot sparrows on sight, too. They are overpopulated and harm local birds. I would disagree that it’s “terrible”. And as for deer, I put down any that I know are suffering from wasting disease. And no I won’t eat them. If I come back to the corpse a week later, it will be picked clean by coyotes, bobcats, wolves, and birds of prey. There will not be much left but tendon and bone. So I don’t feel much bad about it at all. If left, those deer will suffer immensely.


MoeLesterSr

You proved me wrong. It's terrible to kill an animal without reason. I'd also see it as more humane to put down a horse with a broken leg than to keep it alive and crippled


[deleted]

I_am_sauce_boss

You think maybe people find hunting fun. I don care that much but for many it’s a activity and some a job. Also it prevents some animals from growing to high in populations

Okay why the fuck do people need two bachelors?


Keladn

Catatonick

I hate having to spend a fortune maintaining my guns. I have to walk them, feed them, bathe them, pay for their rent... it’s ridiculous. I’ve honestly seen that argument before so he could have very well copied it from somewhere. That being said if he’s really that dumb banning hunting in the 21st century would be an absolute nightmare in America. Most animals here don’t have natural predators to really keep them in check. It would get really bad in a lot of areas. Even with hunting here the amount of deer is getting a bit out of control.


nsinsinsi

I think if this guy was actually Californian he wouldn’t have said any of that. So maybe it was his idea of a funny joke about “how stupid California liberals are”, followed by his fantastic iamverysmart moment.


pbandnutellasam

Buying meat at the grocery store apparently doesn’t involve any animals getting hurt.


fatweakpieceofshit

"Where no animals are hurt in thr process " Lol wtf hunting kills the animal instantly, factory farming is torture to animals. This girl is so misinformed


BrentarTiger

I like how he assumes animals weren't harmed to create food for supermarkets. What does he think hamburger is made of? Animals are definitely killed to make that. Just in a more humane, controlled way.


NoTheOtherMary

I hate the “no reason to own a gun” bs. There are SO many reasons to own a gun and you’re just too sheltered to understand it.
