  • Resolved by diplomacy is just a thin veil on Ukraine needs to capitulate and give Russia whatever it wants.

    This isn’t Ukraine being caught in an inter imperial crossfire, they are being directly invaded.

    Like imagine if someone made this same point about one of dozens of countries the US invaded. Like saying the Vietnamese should have just immediately surrendered to the US, or saying Iran should have just surrendered and given them whatever they want. You’d be out here calling the person a boot licker and rightly so.









  • This reminds me when I was doing ubdergrad comp sci and the professor told us to make a script that does a bunch of stuff in a very particular way using an API he provided for us and then the entire class got flagged for plagiarism because we all made basically the exact same script, because there was literally only one reasonable way to do what he asked us to do.

    I had to keep my cat indoors for several months after a surgery and he got severely depressed, even despite me spending all my free time trying to play with him and even taking time off work to look after him properly.

    Then when he was finally allowed outside again he completely changed basically overnight and was so incredibly happy and playful.

    I would take a slightly increased risk of them going outdoors rather than keeping them “safe” but with a lower quality of lifem

  • Yes, so untill a couple of years ago, the RSPB even said there was no evidence outdoor cats had any affect on bird populations as cats would mostly kill injured, sick or weak birds that wouldn’t make it to a mating season anyway and noted that all the most commonly preyed on soceis of birds were actually seeing an upwards trend in population (until a couple of Karen’s literally harrased and bullied them into taking it down)

    The outdoor cats discourse is my absolute least favourite, it’s such forced virtue signaling bullshit, and everyone that’s takes a stance on it is the most smug, houlier-than-thou mother fucker on the entire planet with absolutely no concept of nuance.

    And almost always they are Americans that are physically incapable of comprehending that different countries exist.
