  It is theoretically possible that we are basal in such away that mice are derived given a certain ailment, that a treatment doesn’t work on mice. However we are so damn closely related to mice that probability is vanishingly small, and in such cases where it is known about, they actually genetically modify the mouse to account for it.

  They used to do fertility tests on hamster ovum to see if a human male’s sperm was viable. We are fucking close enough to hamsters a human sperm can cause a hamster ovum to start to divide.

  Granted, I will agree with you: much animal testing is fucking horrific and deplorable. But it is generally reliable.

  This is basically my strategy too. Though, I tend to buy from Bandcamp first and foremost. I like that most of the time if I buy physical media (either vinyl or CD) on Bandcamp it comes with a digital download.

  I was disappointed that Bandcamp was bought by a company a few years back, but nothing has changed… Yet.

  Doritos. And a gas station hotdog.

  I use to give people shit that the default ls command was from 2002. They finally fucking upgraded it in like 2020. But yeah. That’s some old fucking software.
