He’s had some incorrect stances, but on average, Chomsky is extremely based, actually.

I edited one word of my comment because I had another reply from someone who misunderstood what I was referring to, so i clarified so there wouldnt be further confusion, not to give myself an excuse to be snarky.

• I’ve read the article you’ve provided a number of times previously and while yes, it does indicate that there is no scientific evidence for my claim, it is limited to the UK.

• I don’t see what interbreed-ability has to do with invasiveness?

I don’t care about some American publication talking about cats

• I provided 3 sources, one was American, the others were from Oxford (also in the UK last I checked) and Tillburg (Netherlands), both discussing the EU broadly

• Here is another study from the checks notes British Ecological Society which concludes in part

“…It is also well established that free-ranging cats pose a significant threat to biodiversity conservation and restoration worldwide, and that remedying this threat is relatively easy when compared to other drivers of biodiversity loss…”

If you’re not going to read the evidence I’m providing, while saying I’m only providing americentric evidence, then I’m going to respectfully abandon this thread. I apologize for the snark, that was uncalled for.

Edit: formatting only

I was specifically referring to domesticated cats not being native to these regions since that was what is being discussed.

Fantastically, a wild cat isn’t a domestic cat! Wow! Who knew!

• I’m not american

• The discussion involved housecats, I assumed it would be obvious that I was referring to housecats, not fucking wildcats

• Housecats are native to Egypt and are descendants of the African wildcat

Stop thinking that things that make you feel bad about your world view are “patently false information based on an amero-centric worldview”. Please and fucking thank you

Except plastic straws aren’t actively hunting marine creatures.

Domesticated cats are not native to north america and western Europe, and people should be more responsible in how they care for their pets, especially the ones that are invasive fucking species.

Also, 2 things can be true. It’s possible that bird populations are being decimated by ecological destruction as well as the mass breeding and free roaming of invasive predators introduced by humans.

Edit: clarified that I meant domesticated cats

I… Where are you buying Caesars that you’re getting them with fried pickles/onion rings/etc?

Or am I misunderstanding and you meant that those are on the side?

The point of the puberty blockers is to allow the child to explore the identity they have chosen without locking them in either way.

Its not like kids say theyre trans and they get hormones the same day.

• come out to their parents or guardian
• go to therapy for months to get diagnosed with dysphoria
• start puberty blockers for months to literal years, doing counselling/therapy the whole time
• reach the age that further intervention is allowed,(usually 16-18) they either go forwards with further transition, or
• stop the puberty blockers and go through a late but otherwise normal puberty.

I unironically have thefuck installed in a few of my more frequently logged VMs. Incredibly convenient.

I was pretty happy with tuta, but I just switched to proton for the IMAP/SMTP support.

Firefox with ublock origin and you will unironically have an near identical experience

Worth noting that RE:4 was cracked day of release.

Doomerism is bad in all forms, do not give up

What exactly do you mean by this?

This is true, but my comment was for the average user. I run Linux on a couple systems (not including my servers), but if I put my partner infront of it, I’d be providing support every day for a year. It’s far better than it used to be but outside of steamos, I don’t think it’s “average user” ready yet

It may, but it would still require the driver for the device to be allowed to install on windows.

First example that comes to mind is a bit older but the unauthorized replicas of the Xbox 360 wireless adapters can no longer be used with Windows 10+ without the following steps

1. unpacking the driver
2. modifying the signature and device version it reports
3. disabling driver signing
4. Installing the newly modified driver
5. Re-enabling driver signing

I had to really try my best not to

They’ve already nuked driver support for certain “unauthorized” 3rd party Xbox accessories out of windows 10 and higher, so this isn’t necessarily a solution for the average user either

Narrowing to 3 is always difficult but these tend to shuffle around in the top spot

• The Outer Wilds

• Disco Elysium

• Legend of Zelda, Majora’s mask

It’s called that because moles are a tunnelling animal… Like a VPN tunnel…

FWIW, “failing” or fucking up is meant to be part of the point of disco elysium. It all progresses the story.

You know, I did misinterpret the study data pretty hard. Hazards of rushing a comment I suppose.

Though, the same article I shared does highlight that the major EV manufacturers do warranty for 30-40% degregation within a 8-10 year period depending on the manufacturer, which even taking the best combination of those 2 values (30%/10 years) does mean that the manufacturers have decided that they could, in their worst case scenario lose up to 3% capacity per year before they’ll honour a warranty. So… take that how you will I suppose.

As for the cherry picking, I’ll admit that was disingenuous, but not intentional. Again, rushing research causes sloppy mistakes.
