It’s incredible to me how little “papa” and “mama” have altered thorough the ages of human.

There are few theories as to why, but I’m not convinced by any of them yet.

Just for reference in Finland “pappa” is a word for father, but usually more for a grandfather. But like variations of “mama” and “dada” are pretty much universal.

Air drop in a bunch of LSD and it’ll solve itself in no time.

A lot of them look rather too sleek and modern to me.

Mines more rugged imo. I don’t even know what country the company is from tbh. I know a store that still sells it in a nearby mall though, just peeked in out of curiosity once. Not that I need a new bag, since this one is still fine.

Well aside from the straps I had changed a couple of years ago, and annoyingly the new material is more plasticky and has reflectors on it. (And I don’t like reflectors installed in my things without being asked. What if I wanted to run away from someone in dark woods and they’re chasing me with a torch in their hand?)

I have a Hedgren backpack and it’s lasted through the toughest of outdoor drinking trips and daily use for more than 30 years.

I’d suggest them, but I have no idea whether the company has the same values anymore and if the new backpacks are even comparable.

Wolf populations were functionally controlling deer population as late as 200years ago

In some places. In some places, they were functionally controlling it as late as 30 years ago.

but the same is true for any ethos/identity

And I oppose all of them which are inherently irrational.

No. Humans replaced wolves in these parts extremely slowly. So slowly in fact you can’t say the population was “devastated”. In roughly the same time for the population numbers to go from wildly plentiful to practically none, some of the wolves became dogs.

The wolves aren’t a tool for managing deer populations. Sure they would help, but if deer population and vegetation is the concern then they’re part of the overall management strategy. Wolves prey on many animals.

Yeah, obviously. Including domestic animals. Which is why the wolves have slowly disappeared as human populations have extended here.

But lots of vegans still make the argument that hunters only hunt for wanting to kill things, instead of any actually beneficial reason. Which is wildlife management, as overpopulation of deer would be devastating to the ecology.

Yet still you find vegans who moralise hunters while saying that we should just release packs of wolves into what are low-density population centers. I’m not too worried about them snatching kids or whatnot, but just the fact vegans do make the argument frequently is what gets me.

“devastated by”?

Please do give an example. Humans have been the apex predator around these parts for literally thousands of years. We manage the deer. We don’t devastate it. If you threw in a pack of wolves, never even mind about the social effects of throwing them into what is now a population center has, the wolves don’t have an understanding of how many deer are supposed to be killed and how many aren’t.

I would love more wolves around my area, I’m not afraid of them at all. But it’s just not feasible anymore.

Might be hard for you to understand but not all human actions destroy nature.

I’ve got mainly two things to say.

First I agree with your comment. The profile will sort of assume a general bodytype and diet and thus make wild assumptions. For one I have some sort of undiagnosed GI issue which causes in my opinion a bit of malabsorption. I’m literally half the mass of my younger brother even though he tries watching his weight and doesn’t eat candies or sugary or fatty treats whereas I actually try to get my weight up and have a pound of candy as a nightly snack and eat fatty burgers and meats, along with veggies ofc, but like as far as macros go my sugar, fat and protein intake are rather high and I still have trouble gaining weight.

So yeah it’s gonna be hard giving things a flat healthiness rating as what is healthy for one may not be for the other.

Secondly saw some video from Rory Sutherland, where he discusses how a company put “now with less fat/sugar” in a package and got less sales. Even after they’d done extensive research to make sure it still tasted just as good. If they had just changed the recipe but not told anyone, or marketed differently, they would’ve had more success.

Edit Oh yeah I found the short I meant

That they’re going about it in a potentially counterproductive way doesn’t mean I join the opposition.

Okay this is getting a bit off-topic I guess but I get what you mean but the logic when taken to the extreme is silly and non-functional and creates more animal- and human suffering.

For one hunting as a way to control deer populations as controlling the population is a must since one of our ancestors went and replaced wolves hereabouts and bringing them back (I wouldn’t mind it) wouldn’t be as good population control and also not good for the wolves. Also also a deer suffers more when run down by a wolf than when one-shot killed by a rifle.

I support vegan products all the time and don’t really consume non-game meats if at all possible.

But like I said, offtopic. I agree with you that I wouldn’t go and troll the vegans, I do like arguing with them, as their ideology, while kinda naive, is at its core trying to help animals. And that I do too. So I just want to make them better at it and thus point out the flaws in their worldview. Not to mock them, to help them.

I mean the video is from before 2016 (as that’s when Stephen left QI) and in the part where they’re saying that, they’re quoting something which was already a quote, and it begins with “many years ago…”

Yeah unfortunately for you I think the post is bullshit. People die on planes all the time. I mean, enough for airlines to have protocols for it.

They used to just put people in first class seats with shades and a newspaper but apparently that was “insensitive”.

You rewrote the beginning of your comment, I see. Having a tantrum and you wanted to write some childish insults, because you’re just shaking in your tightey-whiteys that I’m calling you pathetic and pitiful, because anyone who can’t stand behind his own words or even acknowledge them is utterly pathetic.

So you’re spreading Russian propaganda on purpose, got it. Because I refuse to believe that anyone could be so stupid as to not understand that when they can’t stand behind their own words, they’re engaging in bad faith. Even someone with as poor English as you can’t be that stupid.

So you’re just pathetic, because you can’t say what I’m supposedly living in fear of?

Oh and to your “I’m threatening to go away”? I already told you several messages back you definitely should to avoid further embarrassment. But you won’t. Because you think a reply (without answering anything or being able to address anything in the thread) will somehow erase your stupidity and you’ll “get the last word” and thus “win”. Come on, Vanja, everyone can see you can’t back up your own words. And actual bots have already archived this, so your tantrum is recorded permanently. :)

This you? :Dddd

I remember someone talking about “deluding themselves.”

What was that about? Were you talking to me, or deluding yourself, like you are now?

You just have these pathetic one liners and a compulsion to reply. Just like I’ve said a half a dozen times. You’re acting literally exactly as I’ve said you would, from the start.

You can’t even explain what you’re on about. You said I’m living in fear. In fear of what? You can’t address anything in your previous replies. You’re ashamed of your own words. How pathetic is that?

So, are you spreading Russian propaganda on purpose or are you just too dumb to realise you’re doing it?

“It’s not Israel, it’s not Zionism. It’s just some undefined racists. Stop criticising Israel!”

You’ll never do that. No matter how clear it is to everyone.

But exactly like I’ve said, you keep replying, while saying things like “I’m not capable of reading a comment that long but I’ll continue my tantrum anyway”. I’m paraphrasing ofc, because your English just doesn’t do sentences like that. Nor does your psyche.

The proof is in the pudding, lil’ buddy.

The fact that you can’t answer what I’m supposedly living in fear of shows eveyone that you’re so pathetic you can’t stand behind your own words. What sort of a person would be so disingenuous? Oh wait, I think I might know. :D

Troubles answering, Vanja? Getting flustered? Angrier with every single reply, as you just can’t address anything in the thre thread, but you have no control of your ego so you just can’t let this go, despite not being able to say anyhting. Like I’ve said, I’ve seen this literally thousands of times. Every time you dance exactly to my tune. You could just stop replying. But you won’t, because you’re so annoyed that I’m right in that you’re a pitiful pitiful little kiddo who can’t stand behind his own words. <333 oh look i found a picture of you

This is exactly what I mean. Your ego forces you to reply. You can’t accept that you took a massive L.

(also “meant to be” doesn’t mean it succeeded, which you’d know if you weren’t so terrible at using language)

What am I living in fear of? Weird how you can’t address anything in the thread you said because you can’t back up your own words. Pathetic, pitiful. I really hope your life improves because living in perpetual terror, shaking like the small dog you are, must be just a pain in the ass. But you don’t have the balls to do anything about it.

Not even the courage to stand behind your own words. I know toddlers who aren’t as afraid as you.

Yes, they did. They tipped me off that it was your (not you’re) attempt at functioning English. It failed quite spectacularly.

So. You can’t address anything in the thread just like I said you wouldnt, because I’ve been down this path a million times with kids like you.

What am I living in fear of? Weird how you can’t address anything in the thread you said because you can’t back up your own words, isn’t it? Pathetic, honestly. Pitiful. You deserve my pity. And you have it. Whatever your problems, you are clearly living in fear.

Never even been trained for war, have you? Poor little kiddo, getting so mad he just has to reply but can’t actually do anything except childish oneliners. :((((

That’s a very shit sentence if it’s supposed to be English.

So are you spreading Russian propaganda on purpose or are you just too dumb to realise you’re doing it?

Because bot accounts just configure themselves and when you’re using bots to push out shit, you can never control what they push or use the account to make a comment?

So Russians definitely have nothing to do with spreading Russian propaganda that the bots have decided for themselves they post?

See the kind of convoluted bullshit “arguments” you have to invent.

Russian disinfo is everywhere. It’s beyond ridiculous to say Russians and/or Russian bots aren’t on Lemmy. It’s so ridiculous, that one really starts suspecting anyone even implying it, because it either means you have a room temperature IQ or that you’re doing it on purpose.

Oh and I don’t really need to beg for anything when I can see that your just getting mad. Remember your blood pressure.

“I keep replying to comments I don’t read, that’s you how you know I’m right.”

This is a forum. Are you gonna try replying without being able to address that you were in fact wrong to think “I deluded myself into thinking”.

Like I said, you’re shit at this. Most of them at least keep up the pretense for a day or two before succumbing to the “wyaah I can’t read two paragraphs”. Although that might just mean you’re a subliterate American who’s bought into all the Russian disinfo due to being severely cognitively limited.

So again, are you spreading propaganda on purpose or are you just too dumb to realise you’re doing it?

What do I “live in fear of”? Not the Russian military. That’s an international JOKE.
