  • so Ibexes are european “mountain goats”, and are true goats, but “mountain goats”, are american mountain goats and not goats. Okay. Fuck your english. All my mountain goats are goats.

    So yall basically decided that since your fake goat was already named “mountain goat”, all the actual mountain goats in europe couldn’t be names as such and used a weird ass name for them. Goooot it.

    Looking it up, the “ibex” name comes from them being from the iberian peninsula, which is true for some of them but there’s goats in every mountain, not only in the iberian peninsula… Shame… Shame.






  • It’s originally a Spaniard drink, done with something called Chufa. The Mexican variant apparently is an imitation using rice as a replacement. Being in Europe I’d go for the real thing tbh.

    It tastes like sweet almond milk, kinda, probably because chufa is called ground almond in english. You might get a similar taste if you mix rice and almond milk but don’t tell any Valencian I said that.











  • It’s more nuanced though. Here’s how rich people use charities to gain wealth:

    Rich person has tons of money that would be taxed if bill Y passes. Rich person creates a charity and donated 20% of what they would had to pay to the IRS to the charity, with that money the charity uses half for good causes and half is given to X lobby company, which then lobbies politicians to avoid passing that bill.

    In the end, the rich person saved 80% of what they would had to pay.

    Yeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.

    This is a very rough outline of how they do it, but the summary is that they use charities to donate to lobbies while skipping taxes on the donation itself.
