  • Ok so yes I was projecting onto the article creator. You are correct about that. However I stand by my point that was the writing and the choice of image are jaringly at odds. I.e.

    "Here's person A, look at this serious question they asked about a serious topic, oh and he's a non serious gif of them at the end" it subtly underminds the validity of what that person said. It is quite subtle, but that's also part of my point. Prejudices can be very subtle, and I was calling that out.

    As a standalone image, I am with you in that description. However, my description is me accentuating my point, not a subconscious outpouring, let alone a reading of that image.

    I'm not enraged, but I also wasn't in the mood to just scroll on by that time. If you read anything into that then all I can say is that you're mistaken. I get it, there's a lot of unhinged people out there (such as for the reason you described) but I am confident in my beliefs being overall soundly grounded (if not perfect).

  • That's ok - just thought it good to point out incase anyone had a solution to translate for myself and others easily. It's always good to read outside the western bubble where possible. I couldn't find a translation button in the opened link, though I'm not familiar with x. Thanks for sharing though.

  • No, very much not. Rather a fed-upness of seeimg woman (and other social groups) belittled in mainstream media). See my other reply re being a little ott, but that's a reflection of not being in the mood to tollerate more bs like that. Just treat people with some level respect and consistency regardless of who they are. If that was a man, there would'nt be a pic of them slurping a soft drink at the end.

  • Is that leadership or just breeding and/or social dominance though? Do they tell others where and when to hunt e.g.? I'm not so knowledgeable about seals of any species so a genuine question.

  • I'd argue that parents are different to a 'leader' as we perceive them, or as I read was suggested in the comment. Children will stick with their parents, up to the point at which they're ready to start their own family, like you say, but is that leadership in the same sense?

    But yes, I agree, pack = family is accurate.

  • That tabby looks like it is doing some marking!

    Also, what's with the head tabs?! Turns out they're electrodes to monitor brain activity... from Wikipedia: "Nine electrodes had previously been implanted on her skull: two in the front sinus, one in the somatic area, two in the ventral hippocampal, two in the reticular area, and two in the association cortex. Two electrodes were glued to a foreleg so electrical impulses could be used to stimulate them during the flight." lucky kitties!

    C431 was the cat's designation, named Felix then later Felicite. It survived sub orbital flight but was killed to study the impact on the brain afterwards. 9 of the 12 test cats were 'euthanized' afterwards... science can be such a polarised field of wonder and atrocity!

  • I'm sorry, is that gif at the bottom ms Grande? If so, that is misogyny at it's worse. "Look at all the serious thing she said and did, and now a cutsie pick of her sipping fizzy pop like a vacuous airhead!"

    We'll never make any progress whilst mainstream media continues like this.

  • Alas the link is not translated like the screenshot.

    But yes, which version of hell should be chosen? It's such an enduring parade of torture, extending back decades. The people of Gaza are so isolated and unsupported that there is little if any choice that can be made by them. Other's blood is on hands and other's blood is in hearts of so many. All for money.

  • Dogs don't need a leader - the whole alpha male wolf thing has long been disproven, by the original author none the less. Dogs are highly social and live in groups, yes, but there's no boss dog. Very few animals have a concept of a leader. In fact I'd argue that none do and it's a totally human idea.

    I like your cat/dog thinking idea though. Cats very much think 'me me me'!

  • Football is so popular and swollen with money it has been used as a political tool for a long time. Fifa, uefa, the FA & premiership in the UK (plus no doubt many if not all others worldwide) are more than happy to take more money for it.

    The US are involved as they support the Isreali state so are doing them a favour.

    Fucking sucks, to make an understatement.

  • They were migrating, it's not just birds that do it, but it still amazes me his such tiny creatures can travel so far. Even using the prevailing wind it's a hell of a feat for them all to not just ditch in the sea!

    They're travelling to and from Scandinavia by the way.

  • I suspect a surprising percentage of people just follow the crowd. No effort required to formulate any bigotry or predudice or whatever, just copy others and you're part of the gang. If there's nothing to copy they just shrink out of view.
