How many bacteria have you caused to go extinct?

Literally none.

Stacking rocks is cool and fun, actually.

I love the logic there. Allowing an entire species to go extinct due to the invasion of another species, potentially fucking up the local ecosystem? Perfectly fine, let nature run its course. Moving a few rocks, having negligible impact on the environment around them? Horrible, nature will never recover from this.

Documents released by the agency show a maximum of about 450,000 barred owls would be shot over three decades after the birds from the eastern U.S. encroached into the West Coast territory of two owls: northern spotted owls and California spotted owls. The smaller spotted owls have been unable to compete for food and habitat with the invaders.

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Conservation isn’t about getting all animals to live together in harmony or some shit. An invasive species is threatening to cause the extinction of another, so the former needs to be curbed to save the latter.

Maybe if they could be picked up and moved somewhere else that would be better. But how exactly are you going to mass migrate half a million owls?

No details has been given on how many warplanes are going to be shipped or how soon "soon" is.

Or how fast they’ll be destroyed.

There’s no official category 6, but last time I checked if you extrapolate from the wind speeds used for the first 5, you could say we’ve already had a few “category 6s”.

They really should get on officially defining categories 6 and 7 so we can really know how fucked we are.

Some random study proposes 192 mph, which is only slightly higher than the highest on record at 190.

Biden drops in favor of Kamala, libs let out an enormous sigh of relief, then Kamala loses worse than Biden would have.

I think that’s currently the funniest possible scenario.

Was checking 538 for the poll aggregates, but I saw this lmao

There is a 48-in-100 chance that Biden wins at least one state he didn't win in 2020

What fucking state Nate Bronze? What red state does Joe Biden have an almost 50% chance of winning? North Carolina, Texas, Florida? Where did you get that number from?

I know 538 is bad, but that’s just a complete joke. Now compare that to their 49% chance of Biden winning the electoral college. All I see is there’s actually a 0% chance of either of those happening.

Apparently he has looked like the debate in private about 15-20 times

Per week I assume.

If he actually [redacted] Trump (and maybe the Supreme Court as a bonus) he'd win in a landslide. I'd vote for him.

One of the strongest voices imploring Mr. Biden to resist pressure to drop out was his son Hunter Biden

He needs that pardon.

It’s a parody of 8values and LeftValues. No idea what the ideology of the person who made this is (probably centrist I think), but it’s funny either way, in different ways. Some of the intended jokes hit though, but maybe not in the intended way. Either way this post is a dunk on centrists.

Shown is a man, woman, girl family, but every 2 adult 1 child family now shows the same, with similar icons for the other numbers of each.

Actually it looks like Google still represents women and girls in the new ugly icons, but man and person (gender neutral) show up the same as do boy and child (gender neutral).

This is literally no steps forward, many steps back. Especially for Apple, wiping out both sexual orientation and gender representation. And Google conflating male and gender neutral is pretty bad too. I see no good reason for this change, not even a profit-motivated reason. I think it might have something to do with representing race. i.e. a silhouette is more race neutral than yellow. But they could just support mixed race families instead.

Microsoft on the other hand supports all the possible family combinations of both gender and skin tone, which Apple and Google never supported. Here's the built in Windows 11 tool to make a family. Each person's gender and skin tone can be changed.

Tangent: on the other hand, Microsoft refuses to support country flag emojis for some reason which is annoying.

It’s actually from a couple years ago but hilarious how apt it is.

If you can’t see itthe crossed out text is “no human is illegal”.
