  • Show us how the strongest and fittest do it with that esteemed advantage of “basic science”.

    Fuck the ecoologists. We await you and your cat’s venture into the realm of 5d natural selection chess. May all living things not deemed cute and cuddly disappear so the strongest and fittest live on, unhindered forever more.

    And you have had two scientific studies presented to you at this point, so, we’re sorry we failed in presenting arguments. Backhanded comments is all we have left now. It’s what plants need.



  • All of Oceania is this. There’s a lot of unique land animals that evolved with no threat. European colonisation really fucked that entire region and the ecosystems within.

    On average, each roaming, hunting pet cat kills more than three animals every week. The numbers add up. On average, over a year each roaming and hunting pet cat in Australia kills 186 animals. This number includes 110 native animals (40 reptiles, 38 birds and 32 mammals).

    That’s for Australia’s 3.7M pet cats that aren’t kept indoors 24/7. So that’s approx 407M native animals killed each year by cat lovers that don’t responsibly take care of their cat—71% of cat owners. Factor in other contamination and habitat destruction, you can expect that to be closer or even over half a billion native animals killed each year.

    So, yeah, Oceania countries will hunt and kill cats. And anyone that doesn’t keep their cat inside or at least bell it’s collar, is a real piece of shit. Certainly doesn’t give a fuck about animals and the environment. It’s a totally different part of the world to Eurasia where it’s fine to just have strays all over the countryside because they’re actually a part of the functioning ecosystem.

  • The article is only referring to per device keys and passkeys that lock them on that device. In other words, someone would need to be able to get your device’s key, decrypt it or brute your passkey, spoof or steal your device somehow, and send the key under it’s identity. I’m sorry, but I don’t think the few people that could do that would be wasting their time to do it to little old you. For most people, their insignificance is the best security they have.







  • That’s the thing. America’s majority “progressive” cohort are still a little right of centre by the standard of most other developed societies. But for many conservatives, I think “progressive” is synonymous with “the far-left” in their minds, when really it’s more just playing catch up with the world or trying to restore intended concepts of the US Constitution.

    Health, income protection, economic regulation, appropriately funded education, crisis/disaster/wellbeing support, etc. These are your “basics” by default. Common rights and protections for individuals. But if your country doesn’t have them, it would be seen as progress attaining them in the same way roads, voting, and sanitation were progress. It’s be foolish to stop evolving a society under the idea that there’s no benefit to new and proven advancements in society and culture. Your average American progressive just wants to roll that update in and get some nice new features and quality of living. When a conservative says “no!” they’re not realising they’re saying “yes” to continuing in their modern dark ages.
