What about the loss of habitat, anyone who knows even a little bit about birds, at least in the western hemisphere, know that thousands of species only mate in certain areas in certain times of years. The loss of habitats for mating, the loss of food sources in the remaining habitats from pesticides, and the fact that many pesticides and other pollutants LITERALLY DEGRADE BIRD SHELLS AND KILL THEM BEFORE THEY HATCH

House cats shouldn't be putting a fucking dent in bird populations and it's both absurd to think they're the real threat and disingenuous to the causes of ill that plague our ecology

I'm not shitting on you, OP, but in definitely shitting on the person who made this infographic and I'm shitting on the people who continue to push the myth that cats are the leading cause of loss in bird populations. They may kill many birds, but they're not the reason we're losing them. Not at all by far.

"God created Eve from ’aḥat miṣṣal‘otaiv (אַחַת מִצַּלְעֹתָיו‎), traditionally translated as "one of his ribs". The term can mean curve, limp, adversity and side.", per Wikipedia

Different sources somehow use different words, so I'm curious what the actual words were.

Not an actual argument from your point, as it can still be translated as side, but the video and all other instances I can find differ on the actual words used.

But this is why language context matters, a word being able to be used in multiple ways muddies the waters of intention when viewed from a perspective of 2500 years later.

The best thing to do is edit it to be just a period then delete. I can still sew deleted comments by hitting copy text

Naturally closed source for profit software is so much better and would never contain anything malicious.

We know this for certain because the PR department affirmed us that there is nothing malicious or illegal within their code. There internal investigations found no proof of hacking from external sources, All code changes where done with the full legal permission of our Ceo and Overlord Marz Kucherberg (tm)

The power companies in my area started installing fiber on the power lines and running their own ISPs.

No data caps or anything, I'm raw dogging these torrents at like 80 megabytes a second, I even started running my own home server

I like that th sandbox mode easily let's you change it. I respect the devs for having a vision but letting players play the game their own way.

I heard so much racism/making fun about black names growing up, but like, white people names are some of the absolute goofiest shit I've ever heard.

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.

Some of them are great, I've gotten a lot of help from Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress subs and the DRG sub is nice.

But yeah the majority of the subs get absolutely toxic

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.
