Is this about that time Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld) played the grim reaper in The Twilight Zone

Or is this a different reference about a different Geroge playing the grim reaper?

Why does a startup let people do this? Were people not able to do this before and now with a start up suddenly they can? How much does the start up get?

A reminder that the Confederate Constitution literally said black people would forever be property

Article I Section 9(4) No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed

While they physically kill the most birds by volume, the biggest decrease to bird populations is the ecological destruction of the environment. The pesticides we use actually make their egg shells non viable, but for some reason none of the studies count this figure in the “birds killed” category. It would double cats.

On top of that, we have deforestation wrecking their mating areas. People like to measure forestation in ground covered squared, while ignoring that the vast majority of migratory species only mate in specific areas.

Circling back to pesticides, the food supply has been wrecked. The food that is left avaliable is often filled with chemicals still that cause diseases, make their already fragile bones even weaker, cause feather malformation, blindness, organ failure, and cause outright sterilization.

But for some reason that’s not listed in the “birds killed” figure.

Cats might kill a bunch of birds, but with a figure that’s as broad as 1 to 4 billion, you need to question the validity of the argument and wonder why they leave so many other factors out of these figures.

It’s the same kind of thing where they shame us for individual level consumption of pollutants and plastics, while corporations greatly outweigh consumers pollution. Both are a problem, yes cats do kill a shit load of birds, but this reddit level factoid keeps getting spread around and the reap threats aren’t being educated on. You can’t really say they’re the “number one thing killing birds” unless you’re using the figures that outright ignore other important information

I have a solid black cat that you can just do anything with. If he’s laying there you can lay with him and he’s happy or you can pick him up and carry him ti a whole other room and put him somewhere and as long as you give him a few pets he’ll be happy.

Yes, it is. They don’t have to vote that way, but free speech means I get to make a case for it.

That’s literally democracy.

I actually managed to get mine done early this year, April 13th at 4 am.

This is actually facism. There is no other word that even fits. There is no way to misdirect this. It’s facism

This isn’t one of those “Everyone I don’t like is a Nazi” type accusations. This is just facism

You don’t know what you’re even defending, and then when called out for it you say I’m genocidal, lol. Really proved my point there for me, you think you know more than you do

Because it invalidates your opinion on everything, imo. Shows a lack of critical thinking and shows you think you know more than you actually do.

Don’t forget that the south was trying to force the north ro send back escaped slaves, depite the north using their states rights to say no. The south would also send Bounty hunters to go kidnap free born black people to sell into slavery. So yeah, states rights was an issue. The right to identify people as human.

But let’s not also forget that the confederate constitution had a passage that says that there will not be any laws capable of being passed that infringe on the right to own black people

Article I Section 9(4) No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed

That’s literally what he did, yes. You support Hamas so your opinions are invalid anyways.

Ah, so you liken people you deem less than you to inanimate objects, cool

Based bot

Realistically, though, that’s no different from blaming climate change on plastic straws.

This has always been my conundrum.

Do we give into the “sacrifice your liberty for safety” type thinking or do we see the actions of a man like Trump for what it really is: writing on the wall for something much worse to come.

One day it won’t be a buffoon like Trump, it will be a calculated and intelligent person. It’s not a conspiracy theory anymore, Trump showed us the cracks in the foundation, we can choose to ignore it whenever the guy in office wears a blue tie, or we can take note for whats to come.

But again, on one hand, kids dying isn’t cool, but on the other, setting ourselves up for a potential systematic oppression also sounds pretty bad. We have enough systematic oppression as it is

Not to say Trump is my sole factor for having these beliefs, I’ve always tangled with the issues of safety and liberty when it comes to gun laws.

Beacon of free speech? That’s not only a huge stretch, I’m gonnq say thats bullshit altogether, go look at the modlog and you might change your mind. They delete and ban people for having different opinions, even when they have sources and evidence.

My power company installed fiber on the power lines and started their own ISP. So my co-op is my ISP. Kinda nice

You should call yours and find out if they have any plans for it.

What about the loss of habitat, anyone who knows even a little bit about birds, at least in the western hemisphere, know that thousands of species only mate in certain areas in certain times of years. The loss of habitats for mating, the loss of food sources in the remaining habitats from pesticides, and the fact that many pesticides and other pollutants LITERALLY DEGRADE BIRD SHELLS AND KILL THEM BEFORE THEY HATCH

House cats shouldn’t be putting a fucking dent in bird populations and it’s both absurd to think they’re the real threat and disingenuous to the causes of ill that plague our ecology

I’m not shitting on you, OP, but in definitely shitting on the person who made this infographic and I’m shitting on the people who continue to push the myth that cats are the leading cause of loss in bird populations. They may kill many birds, but they’re not the reason we’re losing them. Not at all by far.
