Hell no. I don’t install any extensions for any reason other than uBlock and a pw manager. Just because you say “trust me, bro” doesn’t make your extension secure or privacy - focused.
I was!
I did this once with pickles. Ran out for a month, then made more pickles than anyone should ever eat.
You wouldn’t download a load
I ran a private rescue with my own money for over a decade
Ooooooh, wow. Thank you for your service. For real, I imagine the animals part was relatively easy compared to dealing with the humans.
Thanks, and in just glad I didn’t get down voted into oblivion.
There’s sociopaths on both sides. The insane animal people would rather suicide our species because they can’t think any other way. Then there’s definitely insane people on the hunting side that think being driven to shoot a sleeping lion is some fundamental human right to which they are entitled by virtue of penning a gun. Both are terrible.
Prefacing this with saying I’ve previously worked in wildlife conservation for years.
Limited hunting of big game in Africa is perfectly fine. Dipshits willing to pay $100K to shoot something fund entire villages, put kids through school, and define a value of the living animals that make it easier to define how much money anti-poaching efforts need, etc. Even if not well-managed, even with expected corruption, it ends up working out.
Absolutist conservation stances never take into account how ridiculously manipulated these ranges are already. There’s not much still natural about an ecosystem in a reserve. Predator/prey relationships are weird, tourism focuses only on charismatic megafauna, and tourist sites bring staff and place humans close to wildlife anyway. Absolutist stances end up being horrible for animals long term because the ecosystems are so messed up, so populations boom, then crash. Why would anyone want to watch hundreds of animals starve to death as a way to “manage” a population when someone is willing to pay to do the same thing in a specifically managed situation?
In most species, the most useless thing there is, is an older male. Humans let them run their counties, which is stupid. Elephants, rhinos, lions and hippos run them off because they get violent and kill their own kind. Humans haven’t recognized that’s what ours do, too. But when a rich dipshit wants to pay $100K to be brought 30 meters from an old lion and shoot it before it kills 3 cubs from a rival… I’m very OK with that.
Poaching is the real threat, and most people are too ignorant of stupid to know the difference because of an abstract fear of firearms, rather than logically looking at the whole problem.
Not all galaxies are flat, and the stars in galaxies are sperated by enormous distances.
It’s the difference between Saturn and its rings. Saturn the plantet collapsed into a spheroid. The rings are pieces of stuff, not solid. Of all the stuff in the rings were thrown together into one solid clump, it would be a spheroid, too.
Gotta, at this point
