You just do whatever you want when you want without regard for whether it’s legal, so like, just letting your Eagle go at the dog park and not caring if he eats a terrier

It’s just because history only remebers the good songs and artists. The 70’s and 80’s were full of derivative crap too but most of it got forgotten. Theres also just more artists nowadays, so the repetitive shit is more prevalent

Yeah but i only see the British using Stone, americans just use pounds from what I’ve seen.

1 stone is 14lbs, the uk still like to use imperial for measuring weight and height

I have no expertise or evidence, but i just assumed this was from an old book (maybe 1920’s or earlier?).

I imagine ‘The gaming’ would refer to gambling.

That or maybe hunting game.

You’re just doing the ‘name fallacies at random and act superior’ thing though you hardly have any high ground to be standing on

Yeah exactly, that would be protesting against the actual problem not jsut disrupting random shit

You could as easily say israel would stop bombing palestine if hamas stopped doing terrorist attacks but then were just going back 100 years of back and forth tbh.

Point is that if israel did what you said today, the violence towards them would not stop. And just picking one side and unilaterally ignoring everything bad the other side has done is literally just feeding into this shit

Whose army is going to disarm them? You have a lot of faith in the U.N here to not fuck this up even worse than it is now

True, the issue of being bitten would not go away. Perhaps a gene that makes them not attracted to biting humans somehow, but that would be a lot harder to implement

It’s more like snapchat stories, they last for 24hrs usually

There is some promising research with gene drives, which are essentially genes that when passed on to offspring, overwrite the other copy of the gene from the other parent.

It may be possible to introduce non disease spreading mosquitoes with gene drives into the wild and within an extremely short time all mosquitoes in the population would be non disease carrying.

Of course, this is something that you may not be able to reverse once done, so it’s a pretty drastic step to take after very intense scrutiny.

Joke’s on you, i jumped ship a couple weeks ago.

Except Georgia and Chechnya didnt get any attention either.

It’s a bit reductive to boil the whole thing down to race. Geography has a lot to do with it too, Ukraine being right between the E.U and Russia, and being an absolutely massive country itself.

Politically, Ukraine has been aligning itself more towards western europe for a while, so again the west has a direct interest in supporting its ally.

There are a lot of factors that should be considered together, just picking out one and using that to prop up your own agenda is dishonest.

This btw doesnt mean that I’m absolving all in the west of racism, I’m sure there are many for whom that is the most important factor, but its definitely not the majority.

It also doesnt mean that I think we shouldnt care about Syria, Georgia or Chechnya, I’m simply pointing out that there are more factors at play than race, and i dont think race is as big a factor as this post makes out.

I got into 1 from GamePass, the skin creator and track builder make this game ridiculously fun.

I do wish they had just jept up development of the game that exists instead of making a second game.
