They probably did that to try to learn more about their longevity and habits

Invade, really?

“Apex predator that rarely approaches humans spends time in its natural habitat which it occupied for millions of years prior to the existence of humans”

Yeah

The liberal party in Canada campaigned on election reform and then when they got elected said ah actually nah that doesn’t really benefit us sorry

But captive axolotls are not really true axolotls, they are different from the near extinct wild ones (they have a bit of tiger salamander mixed in). And this really only holds true if people breed their wild-caught aquatic animals - otherwise you are just grabbing a living being from its home and putting it in a tiny cage. There is a place for wild caught fish, but it doesn’t seem very kind to remove them from their habitat to languish in an aquarium for a fraction of their normal lifespan, which is undoubtedly what happens a lot…

I often just fail until it gets embarrassingly or super inconveniently bad. My only strategy that was ever even a little helpful was breaking the task into tiny micro 5 minute tasks and writing them all down, and doing a few of those at a time. I had adhd though, and am hoping medication will help with that (so far it has a bit).

I’m pretty sure you would go very crazy alone in a chair for 4 billion years

As others have said, you need to take your cat not peeing very very seriously, it can quickly become a several thousand dollar surgery or ICU stay, and it can even be fatal, if your cat is that stressed I think you need to temporarily remove the kitten at least and try again more gradually and with the advice others have given. But for now you need to take your cat to the vet asap.

Atoms in a stable state are very strong and it would take incredible amounts of energy to pull them apart

You weren’t an asshole

Whooshed

That’s not how any of that works

And I do agree with that, fast fashion is a big plastic pollutiony problem. Not to mention the carbon to ship garbage across the world. But when charities say “hey donate your clothes please we are going to help needy people :)” I feel they are obligated to make that donation something beneficial. I mean they are literally asking for this stuff, they have no reason not to be prepared to deal with it properly. The landfill may well be a better option, but there are also some clothes recyclers that shred it up into fiber for things

To me it seems like this is something that should be stopped at the level of the charities accepting these clothes for donation. If the people they are donating them to, do not want them, or too much trash is being shipped with good clothes, that should be sorted out by the companies facilitating this supposed gift. I didn’t see much about these organizations in the article, or their response, but they are clearly the ones in the best position and with the responsibility to address this?

Yeah from my brief reading it seems they can adapt to food salinity by altering their urine concentrations so I don’t think that’s a huge factor, at least it’s not something that comes into play before the other factors begin to harm them. But if you could fix their skin and buoyancy, diet may start to matter. But their prey is also a different salinity than the water it lives in a lot of the time, and sometimes they eat land animals like birds and such ofc.

There is still a bit of the Finless Porpoise left there, but not dolphins specifically no.

There are types of freshwater river dolphins in the Yangtze (well, one of these species probably is extinct there as of recently but still) and the Amazon, for example. Sea dolphins can survive in freshwater for awhile but their skin isn’t adapted to it, and it will get damaged eventually. That and the difference in buoyancy in sea water vs freshwater leads to the sea dolphins eventually getting exhausted in freshwater.

Another question - you said things are going backwards. When do you feel that things were better, and what made that time practically better in terms of not objectifying people?

Is it? Or is it to allow people to indulge in and express sexuality outside of a relationship? I don’t think it has a singular purpose of objectifying people. If people take it that way I think it’s more indicative of a problem with their attitude that they may need help to reframe.

Do violent shows or horror movies make you feel human life is worth less because it shows people getting hurt or murdered?
