My understanding of these trophy hunts is that they only allow people to shoot the animals that are no longer contributing to the gene pool.

They collect a ton of money to support conservation by allowing some rich guy to shoot an old lion or elephant or whatever that would have died soon of natural causes, whether a fight with a younger male, or disease, or a lifetime of accumulated injuries.

If that is accurate, I’m ok with this system. That said I have no interest in participating in it and have done little research outside of the information I’ve naturally encountered in everyday life.

Slowly playing through Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga for GBA. I wait too long between sessions and forget where I was supposed to be going.

Same for FFIX. Currently on disc 4.

There is a judge - Beryl Howell - who has given some (correctly) unfavorable rulings in Trump cases. Can’t help but think he’s talking about the name because of her.

Thank your plug

What discrepancy?

Are you implying that the presence of any homeless people in New England invalidates the idea that consistently favorable weather leads to a higher ratio of homeless people living in an area?

Probably also matters long term vs short term. When someone first becomes homeless, it usually happens where they were already living regardless of the weather. Over time, people may move to where it is more comfortable to sleep outside.

So, all cities have new homeless people plus some that just never leave. And then warm areas have new homeless people plus the long term homeless people who risked traveling to get to warmer temperatures.

Thank you

There are already rules. One of the rules is that the title of the post has to match the title of the article. This post follows that rule.

What do we call the Lemmy version of a subreddit?

Wait. Was it really weed that she was vaping? I assumed it was a tobacco product.

Don’t you fucking move

Already went under, so it’s either rotting in a warehouse, being sold at clearance prices, or already in a landfill.

Data Over Dogma*

Same thing we do with assistance for low income people - withhold it from everyone because a few people will abuse it.

Why not?

As someone who switches between Xbox and switch pro controllers, the struggle is real. And I’ve been playing video games my whole life.

It’s even worse than that. It’s boilerplate language that limits their use of force rather than expanding it.

I used to agree that people should be able to vote directly on issues. Not sure where I land anymore. We seem way more vulnerable to propaganda than one would have expected.

If the status quo somehow carries on for another decade I wouldn’t be surprised if the 20% to 30% of extremist nuts becomes 50% or higher.

Wish I had a solution.

Fully expecting to lose my career as a pricing analyst before having a chance to retire. Not sure what to do when it happens. Life of crime perhaps?

Man I thought for sure it was going to be a guy making allegations against Kanye
