Ron Perlman beating the sweet jesus shit out of Alex Jones would be the pay per view event of the year and we've had McGregor/Mayweather and Canelo/GGG just in the past 31 days.

Like, grown adults have asked me if I had electricity growing up or if I grew up in a teepee (it's not the 1700s. I played Nintendo in a house with electricity like everyone else).

I get this all the time as an Inuit person. I grew up playing NES and watching Ninja Turtles like everyone else in the late 80's and early 90's, but we also ate a lot of wild meat like caribou and seal that my Dad hunted, because we couldn't afford a lot of groceries. We had one foot in the past and one foot in the modern world.

That's a very hard question to answer, because it's a very unique, acquired taste. If I had to compare it to anything, I'd say it tastes generally like liver. I didn't like it growing up, but it was necessary nutrition for our diet and a certified super food in the arctic for survival. I grew to enjoy it as I got older, but it's not my most ideal wild meat, that would be caribou (it's like a big deer).

However, don't listen to PETA, we hunt adult seals, those who aren't taking care of young anymore (we know their patterns after centuries of hunting them) and those who are very capable of defending themselves. You get into the territory of an adult seal and you better be ready to run or defend yourself. You can outrun them, but it won't be a casual jog, you will be running for your life.

In secluded communities they still live a mostly subsistence lifestyle, because getting groceries and stuff to them year round is expensive.They still have power and internet up in these places, however slow and unreliable, so they don't need to completely live off the land anymore, but hunting is still a necessity to eat with bare store shelves for months at a time (not that you can make a good living in these small places with conventional jobs).

That and "I have to go lay down for 45 minutes...No! an hour...a full hour!" are some of my favorite P&R moments.
