The policy on preservation of natural areas was not terrible. It was probably executed poorly and wasn’t intended to be anything but a bludgeon of the state to displace people, but nature preservation as a concept is a necessity.

Wild to me that the fox thought a street was a good napsite. Maybe it was raised in captivity, and has no concept of “prolly not a good place to crash”

Damn. We gotta close the missile gap eith the six-year-olds.

It’s true! When it’s dark out it isn’t because there’s no light, but because you’re trapped in the void!

Have you seen the state of the IT industry? Furries and trans girls all of them. Your acronym is entirely appropriate.

Now freeze the editor’s paycheck - no editor worth that much should be misspelling ‘suspicious’ in a headline.

You’ve got it reversed, I think. Our friend Don there is talking about people who want to broadcast their musical tastes to everyone else on the bus.

“A fitting and glorious end-”

Fitting, sure. I’d call it ignominious before glorious, though…

Do we have any fun infographics to help educate those that aren’t autodidacts?

Fair 'nuff. I hadn’t really considered an alt account.

It isn’t really that odd, considering you’ve only been here a couple of weeks. Mutual Aid is a foundational idea in most if not all anarchist projects and theory.

There may be many scammers, yes, but the goal remains the same - get help to those who need it from those in a position to give it.

As for being part of the problem, I must disagree. Scammers aren’t leeching just this, they’d be present in any system purporting to help others (in gov’t systems this is called fraud), the goal of these grassroots aid projects is to help those who fall through the cracks of more formalized systems and decentralize some aid in case the church/NGO/gov’t can’t or won’t help (see the Hurricane Helene/Katrina responses when FEMA is overwhelmed).

Means-testing recipients is kinda a dick move anyway: those who have demonstrable need will have a harder time getting aid and time/money that should be spent helping are now spent with verification.

Just so. The periphery of the parks may be visited- a shared border between worlds where the most intrepid of both may briefly meet, but just as bears and raccoons are driven out of suburbs, so too should people be driven from the deeper parks.

As for the sanctity of life, it’s more of a balancing in my eyes. No life should be valued so as to cause undue stress to survivors. But I suppose my rather callous attitude is anathema to most.

Absolutely not.

Alas, I am but a blue collar shmuck without the patience to slog through theory nor the oratory skills to convincingly pass on what theory others share.

Yes? I’m not so optimistic about humans becoming interplanetary, but if it were to happen, I’d make noise to try and limit any human settlement. I’d argue that if humans want so badly to be off this rock, they can make space arcologies designed around themselves rather than inserting themselves where they ought not be and fucking up wherever they land.

Lessee… I suppose my hottest take is that no lives are sacred. I believe that human expansion into more ‘wild’ domains is a mistake and that national and state parks’ availability should be limited (geographically - you may not venture into the Deep Parks). This probably borders on some vaguely eco-fascy beliefs, and I recognize human’s inexorable curiousity and desire to explore, but you will never find me mourning a human victim of a wild animal.

What would prevent the same happening in the next wave of rats jumping ship? They don’t know anything about the servers or their niches, so they pick whatever. Listing all the servers and their missions is a good start for those motivated to join, but for those more on the fence, how do we ease the transition?

What risks or other concerns come with eating blood instead of eggs?

Besides sourcing, I guess.

Woah, you can trust big corps!

But only to fuck you over.

I see a bunch of other Cool Zone Media shows, but not Molly Conger’s Weird Little Guys.

Her calm cadence and thorough exploration of specific American wingnuts is fun. And as far as I’ve seen, most of the stories end with the guy dead or in prison, so happy endings.

Lemmy is full of fucks and dicks. Sometimes they even have something to say!

But really, I believe any expletives should be used to further a message, not just because you can. Or filler words while talking.
