Amidst the backdrop of a world filled with war, disagreement over control of trade routes, international terrorism, perhaps there is a way we can understand ourselves better by studying those closest to us,
This is my review if Kasteel Rubus Raspberry Ale:
There has been a bloody war between various factions in Uganda that has been overlooked by the media until recently. It began in 2015 when international observers, who had been present for about 20 years at that point, noticed unusual behavior between what was normally peaceful settlements. Somehow nobody noticed this war occurring and just didn’t really report what was going on in Uganda. How is that possible you ask? Aren’t there a bunch of aid organizations and NGOs to raise awareness of this sort of thing, and put on infomercials on Sundays morning cable TV asking you to donate for war relief?
Its possible of course, because when you check the link to the Guardian this is a war between chimps.
Now other observers caution against calling this a chimp civil war for….reasons:
“What’s especially striking is that the chimpanzees are killing former group members,” said co-author Aaron Sandel, an anthropologist at the University of Texas, Austin. “The new group identities are overriding cooperative relationships that had existed for years. I would caution against anyone calling this a civil war. But the polarization and collective violence that we have observed with these chimpanzees may give us insight into our own species.”
The question of course is how this chimp war began. There are theories on that too:
Researchers think the split was not caused by one single dramatic event but by a convergence of pressures. The group’s huge size may have increased competition over food and mating opportunities. Several important older males died in 2014, potentially removing social “bridges” that had linked different parts of the community. Around the same time, the male dominance hierarchy shifted, including an alpha male turnover in 2015. A respiratory disease outbreak in 2017 added more disruption. Put together, those losses and stresses appear to have weakened the connective tissue of the group. What had once been a flexible, cohesive social system became polarized.
Sounds to me like they revolted against the chimp patriarchy, got COVID, and are now living with the consequences of refusing to accept there are very fine chimps on both sides.
…and I am not talking about the white supremacists, they should be condemned totally.
Where does one begin with this one? As I tend to do this time of year I switch from heavy stouts and porters to the available Belgian springs beers. This is not one of those. This is not one of those lovely farmhouse ales that give you the fragrant floral and fruity notes reminding you summer in Belgium is probably a much more temperate experience than it is here. Too bad, they made this one more of a lambic…The sweet kind. Plus its in a can, so it throws something off a bit since they don’t want it to continue fermenting in a can. Otherwise you might find exploding cans which may lead to misunderstandings and potential violence between various primate factions. I wasn’t a fan, maybe you’ll be.

I had some beer cans explode. It was stuff I bought from a place in central PA. A place that I like. I think it was just a fluke.
Anyways, there was no violence between primate factions though I was not very stoic as I cleaned the basement.
I wasn’t a fan, maybe you’ll be.
I think this is a Belgian beer I’d pass on.
Exploding beers cans is a common occurrence in the South, especially with the young kids who just got cars and turned 21. No leave beer in car in summer.
We had an exploding Dr Pepper incident once.
Don’t leave your soda pop in the suburban after the ski trip.
It was a bit sweeter than I anticipated. If I fine a cherry version I bet it might work.
Cherry could work.
I think you tried Ommegang’s Three Philosophers in a past installment. It is aged on cherries if I remember correctly. It is delicious.
I make a great raspberry Lambic. Wouldn’t want to drink one out of a can though.
I blame Charlton Heston for sowing dissension in Ape Society.
DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL
I would caution against anyone calling this a civil war.
Seriously. I bet they don’t even have flags.
I do not understand why chimps have not been exterminated by humanity.
They are stronger than us, with tough males and dangerous teeth.
Lineage competition should have lead humans to hunt them to extinction tens of thousands of years ago.
I bet we could fit it done in a month or two if we got our shit together.
Tough nails.
I’ve seen the movie and it doesn’t go well for us.
^^. This
Hey now, in 12 Monkeys, the monkeys had nothing to do with anything. It was all Brad Pitt on nicotine withdrawal.

Chimp gang war. Who run Monkeytown?
STEVE SMITH RUN MONKEY TOWN
I give it about 30 years before it’s illegal to brew beer in Belgium.
If not sooner.
It should be illegal now. Belgian beer sucks.
Slow clap.
Shall we negotiate a cease fire?
That looks more like “
What’sWho’s for dinner?”Threedoor-
After The Boys, anything from Amazon is on the Do Not Watch list.
There were a couple of other things I thought sucked, as well,
The Boys had a fun premise and I watched two seasons hoping it would get better but it’s crap.
Yeah. Most streaming service’s homebrew stuff is just poop.
Patriot was phenomenal.
So, of course, they cut it short.
I have enjoyed Invincible even though I’m not big into the spandex genre.
I was hoping that The Boys would be a fun take on the genre.
Are the silverback gorillas the white supremacists in this formulation?
“Raspberry Ale”
No.
If it was blue Raspberry I may try it.
First break at Meijer! Much more chill and talkative, it seems. System is remarkably similar, though the staging are is more compressed.
No contracted drivers! Only customers. Also! WOW; Only 26 orders for today. “Saturday’s pretty dead,” my Trainer said.
Haven’t been picking and don’t really mind if I don’t, tho I imagine I will, but perhaps not today. I’m really good w strangers IF I’M AT WORK. Odd how a lanyard and professional purpose flips that switch in the brain.
Highly doubt we have this brew, but I’ve not explored that realm, here.
Happy Sat to y’all. Consistentcy: Time goes swiftly. Hard to think I’ve been here for 3+ hours. Damn. Will miss Cubs game but hopefully can rewatch w/o spoiling it for myself.
CA is up by 21 at the half… In the. That. Competition. So there!
She’s just wondering if we’re worth saving
Kamala Harris just gave the Democratic Party the most explicit sign yet she’ll run for president in 2028.
“Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it,” Harris told the Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network convention on Friday, when he asked her whether she will run again in 2028. “I’ll keep you posted,” she said as she walked off the stage, concluding a roughly 40-minute appearance that was peppered with cheers and a standing ovation from attendees.
The former vice president has toyed with the idea before, but her comments Friday took on a new meaning in front of an audience full of Black lawmakers, influential power brokers and voters at what amounted to the first major cattle-call for the potential 2028 Democratic field.
“I know what the job is and what it requires,” she told Sharpton.
Naps. Lots of naps.
The Dems have another $2+ billion to squander?
Do you mean white supremacists, or white supremacists?
He means White supremacists.
I thought that ment guys like George Zimmerman.
The white supremacists, of course.
Uganda…chimps…I don’t like where this is going. Not one bit.
On that note, because I like to laugh at this. As a member of the American military I was not allowed to have a loaded weapon in Iraq on the FOB. Interior positions were guarded by Ugandan mercenaries who were fully armed at all times. One stuck an AK one of my supervisors face for the grave sin of trying to enter the DFAC without a PT built a little before night time.
I need someone to square the circle for me and explain why the American military is more concerned with its own people going postal on base than a Ugandan mercenary.
I once got chewed the fuck out because I put a mag in my M-9 when we were loading up for a mission. Like, I was driving and didn’t want to fuck around with having to load two weapons at the same time while doing that so I said fuck it and just put it in. Some little twat who fancied himself a tough guy despite being all of 5’5 lost his shit and snitched on me decrying how unsafe this supposedly was.
I try not to be completely dismissive of the idea of safety, but it’s really tough when you look at:
1. How irrational and contradictory so many safety rules actually are, particularly in an already retarded environment such as the military.
2. How big of cunts so many of the people who cry the loudest about it actually are.
Interior positions were guarded by Ugandan mercenaries who were fully armed at all times. One stuck an AK one of my supervisors face for the grave sin of trying to enter the DFAC without a PT built a little before night time.
I had the same experience the first day I arrived at Talil. Nobody bothered to tell me he needed to see my ID until he stuck an AK in my face.
Sounds like BIAP.
The U.S. military likes the joes disarmed because the know the leadership is largely terrible and they fear they will get fraged.
Having guys that didn’t grow up with firearms try to tell me how to sight in a rifle and teach me ‘safety’ was infuriating.
I was a much better shot prior to their ‘training’ than afterwards.
I also had to teach my platoon seargent, 16 years at motor T how to properly use a chain and binder.
The military rarely promotes based on merit and skill. It’s looks and compliance.
