You would think so, right? But funnily enough, whenever we find a new type of hominid that existed around us (neanderthals, denisovans, homo florensiensis), we find out that humans interbred with them and they are a part of our modern human DNA.

I bet humans learned to “other” things that look like humans so they could do things like avoid the sick and dead, dehuminize other tribes to kill them in war. All the very human things we do now.

I mean, you’re getting the message, clicking reply, and typing out your reply, I’m genuinely amazed at you ability to both interact with this text but but ignore it. It just seems like so much more work than blocking.

Did you cover the text with your thumb when the notification popped up, or are you just really good at ignoring things?

If it was me, I probably would have noticed the LMFAO just by reflex.

You did all this just because you were so ego hurt over being smugly wrong in a meme thread!

LMFAO, but you were right, people didn’t like my opinion, this was fun!

Wow, you are really butthurt by being wrong about the Google AI…

Oh my God, I see, you are conflating the fact that I confirmed that people will call you a transphobe for buying the Harry Potter game by calling me a transphobe. Then I think went back and forth with a terminally online twatter (was that you?) who really wanted me to engage in a debate I wasn’t having.

I think, and correct me if I’m wrong, clearly this made much more of an impact on you than it did on me (I think this was like months ago). Yes, I don’t agree with performative boycotts that have no true impact beyond preaching to the choir, that includes all the fucking incel stellar blade shit. I think I also pointed out that by engaging in these performative boycotts, you just encourage other people you don’t agree with to also engage in performative boycotts.

Again, so crazy you got so butthurt that you had to drag a discussion we must have a quarter ago that didn’t impact me at all.

Uuuuum ok, JK Rowling is a shitty person who does her best to be on Twitter 24/7 with the other animals. Bigot, competly enamored with her own creation, and totally believing everyone who’s ever said she’s a genius. Ego driven nightmare.

What does that have do to with you being objectively wrong and kind of an asshole in this thread? You know it all, terminally online jackasses never fail to out yourselves with your goal post moving.

Oh I get it… Your ego is a problem for you personally as well, right?

Oh man yes, video game content aside, the flavor of the month posting and hot take machine from a dude who is incredibly insulated and wealthy now. It’s a drag.

The machine trys to feed it to you when you are trying to get good video game commentary now too. Practically have to block him and analogues of him.

LMAO, I love it when you show your ass like that in front of all these people!

I just need to assure you sir, you were actually the prick in this exchange. Have a great day!

They would! Poorly trained hunting dogs nipping or biting while in prey-drive is also incredibly common. I have seen this exact story play it with a Brittany Spaniel, rescue and no kills would take this 2 year old, put it in a very brief bite quarantine, then train it.

Like it’s a story that rescues and shelters hear all the time! Especially in heavy hunting areas

Naw, just give the dog to a rescue, even a no kill shelter would have been fine, that’s likely a pure breed GWP (German wirehair pointer). There aren’t GWPs just running around loose on the streets, not hard to re-home.

Just an fyi on no-kill shelters, they are no-kill because they are incredibly selective on animals they take in, they are specifically looking for adoptable animals, this would be one they would take on a heartbeat. Hunting dogs killing chickens is an INCREDIBLY common problem.

Bruh it can be so dangerous, I search for poisonous mimics of (mushroom). And honestly if a mushroom has too many poisonous mimics or toxic species of the same family, I just won’t try to harvest it.

So far Oyster mushrooms are just about the safest to spot and harvest, I don’t live in an area with chicken or hen of the woods, which is also pretty easy to identify.

Morels do have a few toxic cousins, so be careful.

Yeah… It’s not exactly an auspicious group of people with an excellent humanitarian record. Who’s next? Erdogan, Lukashenko, the Kim’s… the zombie of Mussolini?

You’re not wrong, just maybe purposefully missing the point? Actually, the majority of gun violence is suicides, have to be careful looking at the data to separate violent crime and suicide. But yeah I would agree with you except almost every other City is experiencing drops in crime and gun violence rates, even New York! Places like Florida have 20% increases in violent crime year over year in their largest cities.

https://time.com/6294021/ron-desantis-crime-florida-data/

You see Orlando catching up with Chicago there, that’s wild! So yeah, a lot of that violent crime is gang activity, but gangs use guns more in “blue cities” in “red states” then their “blue state” counterparts. Data is old though and Florida is currently attempting to go through a data collection sea change to match FBI recommendations.

*Need to note, the pandemic crime levels went absolutely insane everywhere, and just about the entire country saw general crime rate increases in the 30-50% range, this is specifically a discussion of gun violence.

If you read it, you’ll actually notice there’s a specifically different flavor of gun violence in both urban and sub urban areas in states with more restrictive gun laws (generally but not always blue states) and states with less restrictive gun laws (generally but not always red states).

The casual gun violence in red states is also very high, road rage, bars, in addition to areas where the crime is already high, like areas with gang violence. The amount of people dying per capita is higher in red states.

https://www.axios.com/2023/10/16/america-gun-deaths-crime-south

It’s actually both a huge and growing issue in red states specifically. Plus the guns people are using in crimes in states with more restrictive gun laws are coming from the states with less restrictive gun laws.

Basically, the more people who have guns, the more likely those people are to use those guns. Go figure.

Those figures are per capita however. So while there are more gun deaths in California, you are significantly more likely to be killed in New Mexico to gun violence.

You are totally ignorant to how odd and out of place your comments seem to people reading them. You came in with a strange non sequitur that wasn’t really relevant to the discussion at all, then got all weird when people engaged you on it, like your version of whatever was going on here didn’t happen.

You are the odd one out here! It was fun to read tho.

It’s just such a fucking shitty false equivalency to relate the physical to the meta physical.

Look at Christianity for example, the biggest factor in your choice of religion is where you were born first and who you were born to a close second.

You see a great amount of similarity, especially inter discipline, but you can find huge differences between states, even cities and counties. People will shop for churches when they move to find a version of the same religion that fits with their preferred style and interpretation.

That’s inside of a body like the SBC, Roman Catholicism and the SBC are even more different fundamentally. Same books, same dudes tho.

Scientific models update with research, even if things are difficult to change, they change based on new info. Religion needs to constantly fit it’s ever dwindling influence into the same scripture, you just get to think the words mean different things now.

This is not the cheapest, you can get better pricing than this with a Costco business account. Your friend is probably not serving the lowest price bulk bread available, they probably have some self respect.

Right, like who do you think is providing the other side of this opinion? The fucking media. What is this magic “other” media that needs to step in?

Media outlets have been either totally co-opted by the types of organizations they are supposed to blow the whistle on or they are nakedly partisan in order to have a reliable audience.

The call is coming from inside the fucking house, lady!
