Goddamn. Dropping a massive biodump.

If you put it in a spoiler you can make it so other comments can be seen easier in the post BTW.

Let’s try and turn this from a defeatist post into an actionability post.

Here is Hank Green talking about saving coral reefs with a rep of the Coral Reef Alliance.

Here is Mossy earth helping a coral reef recover by splicing in new coral snippings, which also gives the local aquafauna new shelter

Here is an Italian community dumping sculptures into the ocean to block illegal seafloor netting.

Work is being done to stop the destruction. I imagine the work needs much more manpower

Wait until I fill that box with quark-gluon plasma.

Yes, and literally every country that calls itself a democracy does so at times.

I can assure you i’m not a Russian propagandist. You can look through my post history if you don’t believe me. I’d argue right now it’s pretty clear that the comment I’m replying to is unapologetically the propaganda here. It’s not even that I disagree with the sentiment. It’s just a bad argument for winning over folks in the US, which is full of division, and diversity of culture and opinion.

Just, like, think for even a second about who you are trying to unite against billionaires. It includes black communities, and the police who have often terrorized and weakened those communities. It includes both those who are homeless and NIMBY communities who’ve constantly lobbied to deny those homeless any type of help. It includes immigrants, and blue collar workers who’ve constantly attacked immigrants.

Regardless of whether this violence was motivated by the oppression of the ruling class, these are still actively ongoing acts of violence between working class individuals and groups. That bad blood shouldn’t be ignored. The tagline " the ruling class is our only enemy" rings hollow for those actively being attacked by other groups within the working class. The solution should not be to hand-wavingly say “let’s all just get along and unite forces”. It needs to be actively engaging with these groups, and winning people over by actually stopping the violence they experience locally.

I understand what you’re trying to do with the ‘class is the only thing that matters’, but I don’t think that is going to fly well in the US, specifically and especially when trying to get groups with troubled histories between one another to work together.

Trying to unify people by ignoring or erasing their personal or communal identities and histories is not going to be effective at unification IMO.

Congrats on the community taking off now. Looks like it’ll have activity for at least a little while

Hmm. Tongue.

Electric meat is astoundingly efficient at making bullshit.

It is dependent on your cat. You need to know whether your cat is food-anxious or not before doing this kind of diet format.

Quite often cats have food anxiety, often from periods of food competition or just food scarcity. These food-anxious cats will eat all the dry-food in the bowl immediately. Some cats are so food-anxious, that they will eat to the point of vomiting, then continue eating after vomiting.

Grazer cats are not food-anxious, and will usually take small nibbles from the dry-food throughout the day. These cats are usually given one meal during the day to meet nutritional needs that their dry food may not provide. I’ve met these cats before, and they are able to stay a healthy weight without any negative health effects.

I don’t think that narrative survived what with how many people they’ve needed to draft for service. That illusion fell away pretty quickly I bet.

It is possible that this is a grazer cat that gets one meal a day ON TOP of constantly having open access to dry food. I’ve known several owners that do that.

Sick ass grind combo or you won’t have to worry about being cool ever again.

JFK, probably.

Can confirm, was 90s gamer. Captain Falcon on Smash Bros 64 had TITS on CRT.

There are riots, and their moral motivations and overall effect will vary

Looks like it might be mimicking a chameleon face?

This shows a paradox naturally resolving itself.

Are ya ready kids?

If you’re ever genuinely lost in the woods, stay put so a search party can find you easier. If you are going into the woods, it’s helpful to prep so you don’t get lost or get found fast. let someone know you’re going somewhere remote beforehand so authorities know to come find you. A radio can also help both with letting authorities know you’re lost, as well as with locating you via its signal. You can also now wear these special reflectors that help locate people under snow (many winter coats now come with them embedded on them). GPS are always very good to have, too.

Learning to read a map and having the local one with you (USGS for US folks, non-US idk) is very powerful but easily messed up if you don’t have practice. You can triangulate your exact position with a compass, map, and the local mountain peaks, which makes it much easier to know where you’re going. A good practice of way finding is to always be walking towards a specific thing a few hundred yards out or less. So: You orient yourself with the stars, compass, or gps; decide which direction you want to go; pick a specific thing in the direction you want to go, that you can see a ways away; and walk to it - not towards it. to it, so you are standing next to it when you finish.Then, pick another object in the same direction and do it again.

Of course, it’s much easier if you generally know which way town is, it’s also better to know the mountain peaks of your local terrain to orient yourself than the stars (the stars change throughout the year, the peaks don’t), and a compass and map beats the hell out of stars and a GPS beats the hell out of a compass.

Edit: I forgot some important ones, so I’m adding some details. I added more than just ‘wait where you are’ because it’s likely in time that folks might have to flee into the woods and can’t trust authorities to save them. These skills need to be known and practiced now before those situations begin occurring.
