I've reported hundreds of these stupid things because I use guides somewhat regularly. I think they've deleted like four? They do notify you when they take action, but it's incredibly uncommon.

I am as confused as you are by this comment section. She's also given statements that are anti-genocide as well. You can be opposed to multiple shitty things.

That paper is not really a source, it's a literature review. That's not inherently bad, but essentially all it does is pull things in from other (if you check, quite outdated by nearly 60 years, which is a lot, ESPECIALLY for biology) articles and say "... and therefore this other thing may be true." It's essentially philosophizing.

The paper neither invalidate nor proves anything, it simply makes a loose connection to a strange claim.

The author is correct that we do have characteristics of herbivores. However that is not something anyone was questioning; that's literally one of the requirements for being an omnivore. We also have characteristics of carnivores. And even obligate carnivores will often have some characteristics of herbivores due to evolutionary holdovers.

The paper is, essentially, saying nothing of value.

Definitely. When I did all of my forestry work, we were warned about brown bears extensively. Don't get on their territory. If you have to, don't take chances. Don't fuck with them.

I don't know where the idea comes from that these things will just leave you alone. They will not.

Nope. I'm in Canada and it happens here too.

Nope. Originally her party was elected when somebody else was at the helm, and then when Jason Kenney retired, she was just kind of put there.

Literally no one in the public voted for her originally.

I'm in Alberta but I vote NDP.

Before he left, Kenney was actually warning that the crazies were trying to take over. Hell, we thought Kenney was crazy. Turns out he was right about this one thing.

The songs you listen to when you are listening on random are often ads. Record companies will do "pay for placement" deals to get songs and artists they promote out there.

They used to call it payola when it was on the radio and it was illegal.

I truly don't mean to be pedantic here, but aren't these nearly word for word the same beliefs Left-leaning people here have about the Right in America?

Maybe if you're being generous and want to write out the other side of these beliefs you could leave out the descriptors "lazy and weak" and replace them with "psychotic and brainwashed", but other than that, is this meme not the same for Left and Right?

That's what I hoped but the FAQ doesn't say why. All it says is that it only accepts two clients, the S-tier ones on this list.

You're correct that it has been overblown in the past. That does not invalidate what is occurring, doubly so since we have scientific proof now.

You are equating "Old man yells at cloud" to "hundreds of nuclear scientists says cloud of radioactive gas is harmful and here are dozens of papers proving it."

They are not the same thing.

It's pretty common in Kickstarter circles to pledge a dollar to gain access to the pledge manager and decide if you actually want to make a purchase there.

I assume that's what those people are doing?
