You just keep that on hand?

While they physically kill the most birds by volume, the biggest decrease to bird populations is the ecological destruction of the environment. The pesticides we use actually make their egg shells non viable, but for some reason none of the studies count this figure in the “birds killed” category. It would double cats.
On top of that, we have deforestation wrecking their mating areas. People like to measure forestation in ground covered squared, while ignoring that the vast majority of migratory species only mate in specific areas.
Circling back to pesticides, the food supply has been wrecked. The food that is left avaliable is often filled with chemicals still that cause diseases, make their already fragile bones even weaker, cause feather malformation, blindness, organ failure, and cause outright sterilization.
But for some reason that’s not listed in the “birds killed” figure.
Cats might kill a bunch of birds, but with a figure that’s as broad as 1 to 4 billion, you need to question the validity of the argument and wonder why they leave so many other factors out of these figures.
It’s the same kind of thing where they shame us for individual level consumption of pollutants and plastics, while corporations greatly outweigh consumers pollution. Both are a problem, yes cats do kill a shit load of birds, but this reddit level factoid keeps getting spread around and the reap threats aren’t being educated on. You can’t really say they’re the “number one thing killing birds” unless you’re using the figures that outright ignore other important information
Oh you mean the god level genocide episode

This is actually facism. There is no other word that even fits. There is no way to misdirect this. It’s facism
This isn’t one of those “Everyone I don’t like is a Nazi” type accusations. This is just facism
I got a job and started helping with the light bill and food
And by got a job, I mean I was told I was going to work on a tree crew as well as run lawn mowers in 95 degree weather
Now this is irony, actually, you’re so wrapped up in your own idea of pseudo intellectualism that when you’re challenged at all by anything you shit yourself. You talk about maturity, but at the first sign of a challenge you think I’m trying to assert myself intellectually and throw around highschool like an insult, which highlights that this is both projection and an insecurity
You need a nap? Maybe a time out?
I’m gonna scree shot this, btw, this reads like what a teenager who got mogged in front of his crush writes out and posts onto his Facebook wall
I know for a fact some mods remove and ban for it, but I’ve been on reddit a long time and I remember seeing mods ban people over linking similar subs.
It seems like each new version of Android locks down the file system in some new way that breaks a core part of something I do, so I actively don’t want to upgrade.
I can’t root my phone because I need my banking apps readily avaliable right now.
Why does a startup let people do this? Were people not able to do this before and now with a start up suddenly they can? How much does the start up get?
