Hmmm the Fui brand.

I instantly thought of home brew, smoked brisket and the colour green
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

That is exactly what the Fui brand is. One of my mates told me he walked by a clothes store the other day and saw the neon green sneakers. Said I was the first thing that came to his mind, because I’m always rocking green.

Turns out I have those shoes.

Got some new toys as part of Fui’s Brewies. Goodbye extracts, hello brewing from scratch.

Fui Brew.

Sounds inappropriate.

Yeah that’s a little sus.

I’ve registered IDBE Brewing on Untappd, so if you ever get to try one of my concoctions, you can at least check it in and rate it. Got a couple of beers on there.

I have some firewood to give away to anyone who wants it. Iron bark, unsplit and was cut 2yrs ago now.

They are huge logs. I have no access down the side of my house for a car/trailer so anybody that wants this wood will need barrows and some muscle. There’s 30-40 logs to go.

Monster- I have someone interested in the firewood.
PJ- That’s nice, I hope you reminded the interested persons they’ll need help, they are heavy.
Monster- It’s Colleen. (my sister in-law)
PJ- And how’s Colleen going to get these heavy logs from the backyard to the front yard and into her vehicle ?
Monster- I thought you could split them and stack them for her and she’ll come and get them when she wants them.
PJ- You thought wrong, if I’m splitting them I’m burning them.You need a new plan that doesn’t involve me.

Anyway, I have a massive amount of timber here, seasoned ready to go. Bring a few boys and a few barrows. And it needs splitting..

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.
