Ya, tons of people don't really see fish as animals. It's akin to foot hold trapping squirrels or rabbits or something for fun. I don't have a problem if someone fishes to eat the fish, but to just toss it back is kinda messed up.

It is comparable.

I implore you to look up videos of working dog puppies. Duck hunters don't get retrievers because they like how they look, they get them because they have been selected over generations on their inherent retrieving drive, which is a natural trait of dogs. You are objectively wrong about these traits not being inheritable. These dogs need to be trained what to retrieve, or what to point, not how to do these things. My sister's pointer would point piles of shit, she had to train it to point birds.

I'm sorry but you are completely wrong about this topic.

A bird can naturally know how to build a nest but a dog can't naturally know how to follow an animal?

? You don't think animals naturally know how to do things?

Have you ever seen a puppy of a working dog? Pointers will point. The training they receive is what to point, not how. Retrievers will retrieve, herders will herd, trackers will track. But when someone suggests that a dog that has been specifically bred to fight and kill, oh, they were just trained that way. No, they have been specifically selected for aggression and prey drive. It is at best naive and at worst deadly to think that a working dog comes as a blank slate and will only perform actions it has been trained on.

Bro, I had just reinstalled windows and I moved my backup folder straight to my desktop, then left. I get an alert like two hours later saying my onedrive is full. What? Go back and the copy failed. I can excuse it automatically backing stuff up because people don't understand anything, but to cancel my local transfer is insane. I was livid. OneDrive is cancer.

Have you watched The Expanse? I've seen some physicists talk it up for realism. At least as real as a show like that can be.

Ya, I enjoyed the treasure planet reskin also known as Skeleton Crew. I really really wish they would just leave that whole timeline though. I don't care about anyone Skywalker adjacent, that horse has been atomized. And let's stop going to tatooine or "totally not tatooine guys trust me." There are a trillion people and a billion planets, let's move on.

I wonder if you could get some kind of IRS tax fraud bounty on Walmart for that, but I'm guessing the odds are pretty low especially with the current administration.

I still use an HP laserjet 1320n from 2001 so. Works instantly for the probably 10-15 pages I print a year. I haven't put toner in it for about a decade. The hp print app even works with it so I can print from my phone.

Minecraft isn't exactly new though, and he's barely even a character let alone a hero.
