The puppy was being trained for hunting. Meaning she killed her for doing exactly what she was being trained to do. Of course she wouldn’t know there are some animals she shouldn’t chase.
Oh, and this is not a one-off thing from Noem either. She also mentions shooting and killing a male goat for “chasing her kids”.
In any case, I worry when someone’s solution to completely fixable issues with other living beings is to just kill them.
Carnivores have just as much right to live as their prey, as unfortunate as the cost of life is.
We, as humans, are in a rather unique position, being omnivores with many of us in the developed world having easy access to food. And those of us can make a choice to not cause the death of other sentient beings in order to have food.
You can show a lot of differences, but the end result is always the same: Sentient beings dead way before their natural expiration.
Do note that this whole thing is based on the hypothetical of plants being capable of experiencing pain. In reality, they do not possess a nervous system to enable that.
Of course I’d choose to kill an animal if the alternative was getting injured or killed (or starving in some extreme survival situation), but in day-to-day life, I do not see the need to do that.
We, as omnivores, have a choice. The carnivores do not. I’d rather not cause more suffering than I have to (since I have that choice) even if there was the potential that it could possibly decrease overall suffering.
I will not go into other problems with fish specifically since it’s not on-topic.
I’d say eating plants would still be the lesser of two evils in that case. Animals we kill for food also eat plants, so from a pure quantity of suffering, it’s better to not have the middleman there.
From the article:
They found that there were roughly 58 more tubal ligations per 100,000 outpatient visits after Dobbs and 27 more vasectomies per 100,000 visits.
Now that I think about it, I’ve never seen anyone quote specific parts of challenged and banned books. They just say the content is this and that and leave it there.
Tried even searching for specific quotes just now but can’t find anything. So I guess it either has never happened, or happens so rarely that instances of it are difficult to find.
Trans athletes have definitely won some competitions. The news were sometimes difficult to miss.
But that’s really the thing. Sometimes it feels like there’s no problem before a trans athlete wins. Like how many competitions have transgender athletes taken part in throughout modern history? Thousands? And how many have they won? A handful?
I mean, almost nobody talked about this before the inevitable happened: A trans person happened to win a competition and it gained media attention. And when we consider that the Olympics has allowed transgender athletes to compete within their gender since 2003…
Thank you for your efforts, Peter Poopshit.
“Hands look fine so probably not AI, nothing weird in the reflection behind her… Why is there a picture of Hitler on the wall?”
You’re correct! Katakana is indeed used to write loan words. There are of course other use cases like names of animal species (e.g. you can write 狐 or キツネ for fox, and 兎 or ウサギ for rabbit) but generally that’s where you see them.
And yes, kanji was used prior to kana and the earlier versions of kana looked a lot more like kanji, but just got simplified as time went on.
Oh, and the word you were looking for is “radicals” for the components. c:
I just started playing it recently. I played around with those elevators way too long. :D
Yes, let’s outlaw a thing that barely happens at all. Because that’s the most important issue that needs to be focused on.
I make a meal plan for every week and only buy ingredients I need for those meals. Saves me money by having me buy only the things I definitely need, and time by having to make only a single trip to the grocery store each week.
No worries here. Just showing that alternative formats exist to anyone who doesn’t want to post Steven Crowder.
I saw this and One-Winged Angel started playing in my head.
I wonder what they think the smoke does. Does it magically make kids trans or something?
NewPipe app is a good one, or Tubular if you want sponsor block too (though you can’t comment or like videos etc. on either). But if you want to use the actual YT app, the solutions in the other comments are good. I assume that setting up a Pihole or some other ad-blocking DNS could also work.
