This lot is impossible to reason with, but I applaud your effort.

Those cats already exist, you dipshit. Adopt, don’t buy. Spay/neuter. Let them have an enjoyable life and move the fuck on.

I don’t understand people like you. Can you not accept that there are shades of gray, and exceptions to every rule? I’m simply arguing that not all cats MUST be kept indoors no ifs ands or buts. I concede that many cats, young ones in particular, will kill small animals. My (rescue) cat was an indoor cat for most of his 15 years and only when I moved from a major urban city apartment building to a slightly less-urban city single family house did I let him outside under controlled circumstances. I straight up know he isn’t going around killing things. I didn’t go out and BUY this cat, I’m not actively contributing to breeding or anything. I have an animal that deserves to enjoy his old age.

I should probably not engage with you people and just keep my truth to myself.

I have cameras, and I work from home. He literally does not leave a fenced-in rectangle. I know for a fact he doesn’t kill anything.

Yeah I always found the argument absurd as I live on a paved over rectangle with a few square feet of grass my cat likes to poop on while he hangs out with the local squirrels. He is far too lazy to hunt anything, he killed a mouse that was actually inside the house many many years ago but has been a pacifist since. He is 15 he literally wants to sit in the sun and do nothing.

Of course there are some cats who will hunt, and their owners should not allow that. But the blanket statements about environmental impacts, while they cool their house with AC, burn fossil fuels to heat food and go to work, order crap on Amazon…just lacks perspective.

Yes. That’s the very definition of a protection racket.

Did Germany make him persona non grata or something? Or is there a standing arrest on sight order for Nazis in general

It’s the people who love to talk about strict types that tend to be the problem

Whoosh

I may be wrong and lack any historical knowledge on the subject, but I think author is sarcastically self-identifying as a tankie?

Author is one step away from the realization that Capitalism is the culprit, and technology is just the vector.

The further you look in the sky, the further back in time you are looking as well – there is no way to see what far way looks like “right now”. This image shows the visible universe as it appears from our perspective in spacetime, which necessarily smears together the “where”, “what”, and “when” of it all, but also shows the evolution through time of some of the larger structures.

The tendril things that converge into single celestial objects are clouds of gas condensing to form galaxies and clusters over billions of years.

I’m not familiar with this interface, but it looks to me like it is saying Google was doing the tracking. Could this be tracking attempts made from a web view opened while using Sync, and not the actual Sync app itself? I want so badly to believe they are more privacy conscious than that. Love the app, been using it since it first came out for Reddit. Solo dev IIRC.

There’s a native restaurant near me that is kinda like the equivalent of Chipotle for American Indian cuisine, and it’s fantastic. The owners are members of the Osage Nation and have had a few restaurants since the 90s. Really happy for them that they recently expanded to also have a food truck and catering business, as well as a little satellite location at a nearby ski mountain.

I can’t do much to help undo the genocide and cultural erasure, but I damn well take everybody I know to that restaurant.

I mean, having one in ten of your fellow soldiers murdered by their own commander is pretty horrific, and I think that’s the spirit of its modern usage.

Don’t fall into their trap. It is important to point out that it isn’t antisemitic either way, because your assertion had absolutely nothing to do with her religious or ethnic background.

Lol idk why but I find it so funny that you are speaking English with French nouns.

It’s a handy way to convert any value to a Boolean. If window.chrome is defined and done non-empty value, double negation turns it into just true.

Does it? It’s not a brag, I don’t think it’s particularly cool or interesting. It just means I heard it from the horse’s mouth and it is absolutely happening barring new legal action.
