Yup. I noticed I was seeing "recommended" posts from pages I never subscribed to that were sometimes days old but my friends would make posts only a few hours old that I'd never have seen without manually checking their page.

At that point I realized the feed was worthless and just stopped logging in.

Already met an idiot on this site trying to push that a draft wouldn't be a bad idea.

Fucking authoritarian cuck.

How blissful it must be to be so confident at being an uneducated idiot.

I just did. Anyone can read my comment explaining it. If it's too hard to understand then you need to go back to school.

It's also that the black foot is deadliest in the context of being compared to other cats. Bats aren't involved in the scope of the argument being made, so that comparison doesn't even work.

"highest successful hunt rate" is equivalent to saying "deadliest". It isn't exaggerating anything. It's using "deadliest" in the context of "causing a greater number of deaths" instead of the alternative context of "causing a greater amount of harm".

It has the highest kill rate, thus it is the deadliest, even if its capabilities at taking down prey are limited to smaller creatures.

Bats are deadly and play a large role in controlling insect populations. They are a top level insectivore.

The prey that they eat exists in far greater numbers, as well as reproduce in greater quantities, than the prey of other wildcats, so it balances out in the grand scheme.

That's exactly what it is saying though?

Nothing about this is talking about it being an apex predator just that they have a high (in fact one of the highest) success rates of their hunts compared to other wildcats.

And bats are major predators, specifically top-level insectivores. They aren't apex though, as "apex predator" is specifically one that isn't itself prey to other animals.

Millions of years. In other words: the time it takes for evolution to do its thing and allow for genetic adaptation of the new threat, assuming they survive the filter that is having a considerable threat introduced to their ecosystem which they currently have no adaptations against.

For the business class, spiking prices is a good thing because then they make more profit. People need gas, because that's how they have influenced our infrastructure. Yea, some people won't afford it but that's less money lost than the amount they gain from the price spike, so they don't care.

All by design.

China did a great deal with recycling. The issue with it ending up in landfills is the US routinely breaking trade agreements and shipping materials that aren't actually recyclable mixed in.

In 2018, China actually stopped importing plastics because of this because it was becoming a huge environmental concern.

The US now just ships it to other poor nations.

Everyone remember how the first design for Sonic in these movies almost put the nail in the coffin before they even released?

Absolutely wild how one design change and the franchise was able to have wings.

Mexican is all about the peppers and spices and how it pairs with the meat.

If using cheese, omit the meat and just go veggie, much better flavor experience that way.

I vaguely remember him saying a while back he wanted to do something like this with the events depicted in the Silmarillion.

Knowing he is behind it I'm actually pretty intrigued at how it's gonna turn out. Dude is a mega LotR fan.

Probably has drainage built in at the bottom with a slight incline to direct runoff and prevent pooling. This is an urban city center after all. I'm sure the city already has drainage systems in place.

Probably because people are waking up to the decades of "China bad" propaganda being pushed by the US and its allies.

Oh piss off with the blind "China bad" bullshit.

China has realized the flaw of car-centric urbanism and has been endeavoring for the last decade or so to restructure their urban areas to be more pedestrian friendly, sustainable, and ecologically friendly.

Modern Chinese urban design is not the same as it was decades ago. They actually did this thing called "learning and adapting to new information".

The system was specifically designed to enslave us while enabling the owning class. What's wild is that we continue to respect this system as if it has any legitimacy.

Yea, this is a shitty Japanese/Chinese zoo. Nothing about this is cute. This is horrible for all creatures involved.

Just look at the concrete "barrier". It's fucking crumbling.
