The candidates may represent something closer to diplomacy vs brutality, but the problem with the election this year appears to be a major lack of engagement by Democratic voters. So when you’re asking the question of what causes people who previously voted to not vote, apathy is pretty high on the list of possible explanations.

I am Canadian, I will sigh and vote for the leftist party that slightly reduces the flow rate of bullshit, because lesser evil blah blah. But it’s extremely easy to understand why that apathy permeates, and when parties allow that to fester by choosing not to address issues their voters clearly care deeply about, they are also to blame.

No, for moose you are actually supposed to swerve and risk the ditch.

Literal raw produce gets recalled quite frequently too…

Both of those functions have been available via key fob for at least a decade, no internet required. Though yes the range on that can be limited.

I think one major difference is feathers - we have not had feathers show up in any mammalian mutations or evolutions that I know of. We went a different direction, with the fur and all. So even if fast tracking wings were possible I think that would involve some kind of fur covering and different adaptation for flight more akin to bats.

Another major hiccup is - fast tracked uncontrolled evolution, aka genetic mutation, without the controls/failsafes (such as non-viable mutated animals dying out and failing to breed) just equates to cancer…

We mammals are pretty far (~65 million years) diverged from birds, so you’d probably be looking at more of a bat style wing or flying squirrel gliding skin mechanism than anything feathered.

In the last few decades yes probably

I’m sure the conservatives will continue trying to figure out a way to push it to withering and crumbling… they definitely tried to sell off/privatize chunks of them in the past but the level of outrage they were met with has put those ideas to bed for the time being

Then subsidize the farmers by the amount you were paying them to not harvest the food ? They don’t make any money when they aren’t selling it at all either, without this intervention…

Is there no SPCA or other dog rescue in your area? Research them a bit and then notify one

They probably did that to try to learn more about their longevity and habits

Also pugs, or Scottish fold cats… and those are creatures we love and keep as pets, not even livestock, and we still do it

Invade, really?

“Apex predator that rarely approaches humans spends time in its natural habitat which it occupied for millions of years prior to the existence of humans”

Yeah

I have not thought that I may be the only one to notice intentional human made instances of forgotten beauty, though it is an interesting idea. I do often think the beauty of certain aspects of nature is frequently overlooked, though… not your basic flowers or classically beautiful things, but the beauty of death and resilience and futility.

The liberal party in Canada campaigned on election reform and then when they got elected said ah actually nah that doesn’t really benefit us sorry

So you don’t like anything new? Yea that’s weird, there are objectively beneficial new things like technological and medical advancements, social things like being accepting of gay people, etc…

But captive axolotls are not really true axolotls, they are different from the near extinct wild ones (they have a bit of tiger salamander mixed in). And this really only holds true if people breed their wild-caught aquatic animals - otherwise you are just grabbing a living being from its home and putting it in a tiny cage. There is a place for wild caught fish, but it doesn’t seem very kind to remove them from their habitat to languish in an aquarium for a fraction of their normal lifespan, which is undoubtedly what happens a lot…

I often just fail until it gets embarrassingly or super inconveniently bad. My only strategy that was ever even a little helpful was breaking the task into tiny micro 5 minute tasks and writing them all down, and doing a few of those at a time. I had adhd though, and am hoping medication will help with that (so far it has a bit).
