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 still have a lot of de-googling to do. However at this point, I only use google as a search engine maybe once/month, and it’s frankly usually for the google business info…thing. For everything else, I use Kagi and quite frankly have not looked back. Probably one of the few services that I happily pay for.

I’m going to very sincerely disagree. You can see it as misinterpretation if you like, but I believe there’s functionally no difference between the two statements you’ve provided and as long as the right is trying to come up with any excuse to outlaw our existence, its optically beneficial to come up with ways of educating people who may be “eggs” about being trans/enby that are informative, but are less likely to fuel a deranged groomer witchhunt. I’m glad it helped you and your friends, but given the political climate, I believe we should avoid terms that endanger us more than needed.

Continue using it, I certainly won’t stop you. But I’m not going to start.

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?

Frankly idgaf about the prime directive (edit: this is perhaps an exaggeration, I meant I wasn’t necessarily referring to the prime directive) , but as an enby person, I think going around saying “doing this makes you an egg” is pretty antithetical to people not wanting to be judged for not complying with the gender roles that correspond with their assigned gender.

I don’t think egg jokes are healthy for the trans community homie

This is no longer true.

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.

I’d be asking you to take the headset off

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

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

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

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

Imagine having a raging hard-on for another corporation that doesn’t give two fucks about you

My point is that people like you stating “she’s only coming out about this now” are failing to see that she did before, just anonymously. She is under no obligation to publicly denounce the company.
