We absolutely could help by not fucking spreading an invasive predator to every corner of this globe just because we find them cute. That’s morally reprehensible considering how dangerous cats are to local fauna:

https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.1602480113

“Introduced rodents and cats are major agents of extinction, collectively being listed as causal factors in 44% of modern bird, mammal, and reptile species extinctions.”

That’s honestly an awful comparison. Wild predators don’t consume more than the environment can sustain, domestic cats represent either an artificial demand for farmed meat, which is bad for the environment, or they hunt themselves which is awful for the environment as well as they’re an invasive species everywhere and already the cause of dozens of extinctions.

Everyone obviously already gets that

The first comment of this chain literally says:

easily prevent all the damage to the local environment by just keeping your cat inside.

So no, mybe it’s not obvious for everyone and maybe even obvious things need to be said occasionally for oblivious folks.

With scorpions its the size of the parts that counts.

Big pinchers: Probably hunts without venom -> probably safe

Big tail (like this fella here): Probably hunts with venom -> probably unsafe

But even venomous scorpions are pretty chill tbh, they spook me way less than spiders

At this point I just want Ubi to go under and sell the IPs to literally anyone else

“Intended game experience” = “We can’t milk the FOMO as effectively now”

Ublock on firefox mobile seems to work well for youtube, never had that break

Telemetry is usually non-identifiable (by law if your country follows GDPR).

This form if ID is also pretty circumstantial. That might fly for advertisers but in a court of law I have my doubts.

If you allow everything and all cookies most things are possible in theory. In practice most distros are secure enough and most users savvy enough to not accept everything blindly that it probably doesn’t happen.

Aspie checking in, emotional control is important but that does not mean we have to suffer everything in silence. Part of emotional control is recognising when things become overwhelming and communicating that, ideally to find a solution that works for all.

Ironically, in your story you were the more emotionally regulated one. Your parents should have communicated their emotional stress (from making people wait) in a better manner.

As opposed to 2001 I understood Interstellar, which means it must be worse

Enlightened take

Rocky Horror “so bad it’s good”!?

I’ve never been this offended by xkcd

Republicans and establishment dems are all bought by AIPAC but at least the dems are waking up to that and voting out establishment candidates. Republicans are never going to “wake up” and start fighting against the money because conservatism is inherently beholden to status and power.

You’re right but Zohan is a bad example because it’s more Israeli propaganda than art

GNOME visually reminds me of iPadOS (not good) and just hasn’t been as intuitive as KDE. Both are usable, KDE just came easier to me.

The best thing about this comment is we all know which is which

They’ve been a band with a trademarked name for 25 years.

They trademarked “Demon Hunters” in 2022…

Their case is shit, its frankly a miracle they were even able to trademark “Demon Hunters” because it’s so generic. I see this going nowhere.
