fair points! ty for your thoughts

So it’s the GOP’s dossier from before they pulled him for VP? Huh…not sure what to do with that, exactly. Definitely some meme potential, though.

The number of users to have voiced their disagreement already exceeds that of the admins.

Seems like it’s kind of a moot point then, no? If even a majority of Ukrainian users are aware of the issues with the list, I would expect most would just leave and the list would fade into obscurity.

What does “witch hunt” even mean anymore? I feel like it has been overused to the point of losing all meaning. In this case, by “witch hunt”, the writer means “they have started going too far and making some bad calls”. They aren’t calling for people to mount heads on spikes or review bomb, as far as I can tell.

It’s a strange case, though. Who do we think follows these curators? The title of the list is in Ukrainian, so I’d guess it’s mostly Ukrainians. On the one hand, I don’t want to tell Ukrainian folks how to spend their money with respect to Russia. Maybe for some, even the slightest whiff of Russia will turn them off from the game, regardless of how logical it is. It’s not my busieness to question the mostly-harmless emotional reaction of a people under siege. For those, these curation lists might still be useful. Of course, people that care this much would probably research another way if the curator lists didn’t exist.

For others, I’m sure they would prefer a curator list that actually does the research and doesn’t list a game unless the purchase would very clearly benefit Russia in tax dollars. For those, this turn of events is unfortunate. On the other hand, those people are probably level-headed enough to do their own research on a game-by-game basis.

My point is: the impact of these curator lists existing is probably minimal. But maybe i’m wrong, idk. What do y’all think?

My partner likes to adorn their backpacks and jackets with them. I haven’t found a good use for them. Finally figured out what to do with all my misc stickers once i got a water bottle. lol

hooray for titty sprinkles!

read the study yourself. The most commonly preyed-upon species by cats is birds. It’s a global problem. I will grant you that perhaps cats fit slightly better into the urban ecosystems of Europe, but this is a minor point. They still have an outsized population due to human influence, so they will always be massively disruptive to local ecology. And none of this is considering the danger posed to the cats themselves, whom we all love.

even if they are native animals, the SIZE of their population is caused by humans, and so they are disruptive to their local ecology. and bell or no bell, letting your cat outside unsupervised is leaving them to get hit by a car, or tortured by mean kids, or scooped up by a predator, or stealth-adopted by someone who cares about the well-being of cats more than you do. I’m assuming you wouldn’t be happy with any of those things happening to your cat.

i guess, but it would be weird to call all of Congress a “conspiracy” because they all conspire together in front of the public eye to debate on and pass legislation.

but that wasn’t hard evidence with multiple data points. It was one, single data point, blown out into a full conspiracy. EDIT: If I am misrepresenting that conspiracy, please let me know. I didn’t really pay that much attention to it, for obvious reasons.

But animals tend to enjoy the outside

Maybe yours do. If that is the case, take them for a walk on a leash or in a covered stroller. Build a covered patio. You could even play with them in your yard and bring them inside once you can no longer supervise them. There are many, many, many ways to provide this enrichment without leaving them to get hit by a car or scooped up by a predator.

Nobody thrives in an exclusively indoor environment. They go crazy. Sterilization can help a bit, but they still need to go out sniffing stuff and at least play at hunting daily.

Skill issue. My cats haven’t been outside since they were adopted, and they live happy, fulfilling lives full of enrichment. That’s what cat toys and puzzle feeders are for.

yep all those thousands of people that walk their cats on harnesses are just imagining it.

You are also obviously very highly prejudiced

That’s a funny way to spell “educated”. Nothing I am putting out here is my opinion - these are objective facts. All cats can get enough enrichment without being let outdoors, and there are plenty of ways to give a cat outdoors enrichment without just leaving them unsupervised to go and get run over by a car. If you disagree with me, you’re gonna have to provide hard evidence to change my mind. Like actual scientific studies or the medical opinion of at least a few vets. Because that is what my stance is rooted in.

they DID add those crossover decks recently, and the dev has indicated that there is more additional content coming. Idk, I think having the cards in HD wouldn’t look right, because the entire game has a specific kind of pixel art. Even the smooth, swirly background has a pixel art filter on it, bc that’s the vibe that the dev really wants the game to have. Mixing them would be like when pixel art rpgs have super hi-res fonts. It just doesn’t fit right.

i like that this landed at exactly 69 upvotes. nobody ruin it!

sure, that is fair. it’s not my favorite cartoon ever, i will admit. but it makes a point that i don’t think needs a lot of subtlety.

i forgot, political cartoons are only valuable if they are highly clever and subtle.
