Crocodiles live in rivers and ocean. Most of Australia is a desert. Crocodiles are actually classified as a least concern. They don’t have a problem with global warming, they’re reptiles. They ruled the earth last time it was this hot.

Thylacines were too small to take down a kangaroo, and hunted alone. Thylacines were also extinct on the mainland when the white invaders arrived.

Australia doesn’t really have megafauna predation on the same scale as the other continents, except for humans. Invasive species have been so harmful to Australia because the indigenous species over there just aren’t as… competitive. They don’t have bears, or wolves, or moosen, or elephants, or big cats. It’s a chiller vibe. Rabbit plagues are such a problem because there are no large scale predators to deal with them like in europe and the americas. Australia’s ecosystem has been very fragile for tens of thousands of years. And humans have been managing it to keep it in balance for just as long. If you’re talking about the natural state of Australia, it’s one managed by humans, passing down conservation methods through oral histories over millenia. You’re underestimating the wisdom and importance of aboriginal australians.

In Afro-Eurasia, recorded history began around 5,000 years ago, with the rise of the written word in Egypt and Mesopotamia. In Australia, recorded history is ten times longer. Intentionally recorded, with the specific goal of preparing people for the future with lessons from the past.

The natural predators of kangaroos are parasites, and indigenous humans. Indigenous humans haven’t been eradicated, but colonisation and capitalism have harmed their ability to engage in traditional practices that maintain the land.

There was an old lady who swallowed a cane beetle

No, you’re right, I was being paranoid. Everyone on Lemmy accepts otherkin, xenogenders, and neopronouns.

Drought resistant crops, heat resistant corals, and rot resistant bamboo, please.

I wonder if the Lemmy liberals are going to call you a transphobic troll for this comment

This post isn’t about a ban. It’s about the rules being selectively enforced. It’s about the ban Cowbee didn’t get.

Well we’re not on .ml right now, so I’m fine with arguing

I’d be happy to have an argument without trolling, sealioning, and calling people liberals

I don’t want to argue, but I do want to get the last word in, and I also want to explain that my reason for not arguing is that I know Cowbee by reputation and I refuse to be sealioned and trolled by him. I’d be very happy to say my piece without any sealioning and trolling, which is what I tried to make happen, but alas, once again he used the old “Why won’t you talk to me :(”, just like my ex does when she’s been drinking.

I did? I can only see one post from my instance. Both from my profile and from the community. Might be a federation issue?

My comment was against instance rule 2. Which to me suggests an admin must have done the ban. I hate that the .ml admins just number rules and don’t say whether they’re community or instance rules. It’s not transparent to the people who are banned, unless they put in a bunch of work to figure it out.

I intentionally broke rule 2, because .ml users do it all the fucking time. Cowbee does it in this screenshot. We’re both accusing each other of not being leftists. He doesn’t get punished for it. Why? Because he’s an ML and I’m an anarchist. ML users always call anarchists liberals, and it’s never dealt with. So I treat them the same way, and take my knocks for it. This post isn’t about a ban. It’s about the rules being selectively enforced. It’s about the ban Cowbee didn’t get.

Sentinel Island

You’re a very valid bird and I’m proud of you for having the courage to come out.

Right, so we both agree someone who says “I’m not a man or a woman, I’m a cat” is nonbinary. So why force queer people to live in reality when they say it hurts them? Sadism?

Otherkin showed up 100,000 years ago when modern homo sapiens developed. I seriously doubt you can isolate a single decade of queer acceptance so long ago.

You’re just engaging in the time honoured trope of calling something new because you, personally, didn’t know about it when you were young, and now you think learning about new kinds of people is scary. People said it about gay. They said it about bi. They said it about trans.

Okay, I’ll tell you what I assumed when you said that.

You think all catgender people are the gender they were assigned at birth. Male to cat? That’s a man. Female to cat? That’s a woman.

This is a logical deduction. You said catgender people aren’t queer. That means they can’t be trans, and can’t be nonbinary. This is the consequence of you saying that.

And I am begging you to take it back and allow catgender people to identify as nonbinary.

But the helicopter pasta was written by a transphobe. The litter boxes never existed. Conservatives just made that shit up. It doesn’t matter if real people have those identities, transphobes are going to attack you anyway.

Do you think you can appease the fascists by excluding the people the fascists hate more than you?

Okay, so if someone says their gender is cat, you’re saying they’re not queer. Fine, which non queer identity do they have? For argument’s sake, let’s say they prefer cat/cats pronouns and object to being he/himed or she/hered. How are they not queer? Make a specific claim please.

If Americans are taught self esteem as a universal good, how come they hate people with NPD so much? They think every abuser is a “narcissist”.
