Benefits for cats: No FIV infections, no car injuries, safe temperatures, no fights, no parasites.

Benefits for wildlife: no murder, fewer vectors, no loss of habitat to cats

Benefits for community: no roaming cats triggering sensor lights/setting off other pets/damaging property with claws, no toxo transmission, no digging up poo while gardening/losing plants to cat piss

Cons to cats: Keepers must provide entertainment

Cons to keepers: Exercise the level of basic responsibility every other keeper of pets is expected to, or parent with children.

Issue: Controversial???

I guess you’re not able to care for cats then?

why is their mood worth more than all the wildlife they kill or terrorise?

naevaTheRat, 7 hours ago

Balls vs literally thousands of wildlife. What a hard decision?

Letting a desexed cat roam is literally hatred for this land. Do you want more feral cats? desex pets, it’s again basic responsibility.

naevaTheRat, 7 hours ago

well there you go, someone was wrong about what cats need to be happy.

You’d think a vet would be more worried about all the heal problems they pick up outside but I suppose it’s more work for them if mr fluffypaws needs surgery or whatever.

Fuck the fucking fuckers. Swearing as much a part of human communication as cadence is.

Puritans can fuck themselves with a pineapple. It’s as ridiculous as finding full stops offensive and insisting the rest of the world bow to them by using double commas or something.

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh this is all so despicably one sided and Pearl clutchy.

Children are dying, just fuck everything else come on children are fucking dying. It’s not fake, it’s not propaganda, it’s right fucking there.

Children are dying en masse from hunger and thirst, under rubble, torn apart by bombs in what can only at it’s most charitable be described as a campaign of terror and revenge.

Fuck all this reporting on such and such a sign or such and such a chant. Children are dying, it is fucking obvious to anyone with more than a shard of charcoal where a heart should be what the salient issue is here.

Nice to see some people still having morals.

Isn’t that an indictement of the leaching class haha. Can’t quite realise other people are human unless you can golf with them while discussing landlording or whatever haha.

It makes me think of the awful time when Australian news became obsessed with “shirtfronted”. Shit like this makes a little piece of my brain die every time I remember it.

it’s just such a pathetically juvenile way to describe politics. “mr big punches women in face man going to tackle mr hires assassins brutal dictator of maybe the third most powerful country in the world man”. Uh huh, I bet he is. As we all know politics is about how much testosterone you can smear from your glands on each other while wrestling and not a largely redundant performing into being of relationships between people orchestrated by thousands.

It’s not like he handed them to a stranger at a train station or sold them to the highest bidder. He carefully sought out a trustworthy investigative journalist from the most trustworthy and reputable broadcaster in the country. A public one mind you, without a pure profit motive and stringent ethical guidelines.

The military is not an impartial or objective body either. They are just as politically active as the police with their own self serving goals.

Yeah nah, the highest calling is ensuring integrity. Everything else must come second to that or there will be none, and if the military cannot conduct itself in a trustworthy manner then it cannot be trusted and loses the privilege of secrecy.

If individual soldiers are endangered then it is the military who endangered them, not the person blowing the whistle.

You’re one of the saner voices around these parts.

I think often when people think of other people dying they internalise it as a headline does. Such and such died, ok that’s sad I guess.

I think the correct way to interpret it is to take the death of the person you have been the closest to ever. All that pain and grief and rage, multiply that by the number of people expected to feel that per person, then by the number of people dead. you start to interpret pointless, preventable, or cruel deaths with the appropriate amount of madness-tinged grief then.

If we want militaries to be more than murderers for hire then murders by militaries must be taken at least equally as seriously as murders by random citizens.

I like to take every government act I think is a bit iffy and contextualise it as “north Korea does X” to see what my opinion of it really is.

Italian nationalism around food had fascit roots. It’s fictional and stupid. Grow up.

I feel like the licensing in Australia is in generally pretty good (sometimes it’s bonkers reactionary in terms of what gets banned).

Rifles you can get levers and bolt action. They fire plenty fast enough for whatever you want to do with them recreationally.

Handguns are licenceable but it’s strict as fuck. Expensive club membership, regular training/competing events (community + keeping skills and culture good), 6 month probationary period with only supervised shooting, another 6 months before you can buy your own, have to have a rock solid safe bolted to the floor inspected initially and randomly (every few years realistically). Seems completely reasonable, handguns exist to put holes in paper and kill humans, plus they’re highly concealable and much harder to use.

How often have you just read a headline? It’s not about creating cases that stand up to scrutiny, it’s about creating the impression of a movement.

Nudging people by making things appear more reasonable than they otherwise would be.

It’s kinda funny, I’m over here exercising for 1-2 hours every day, taking benzos about once a week, and ketamine infusions monthly just to not set myself on fire in a public square or something pointlessly melodramatic and people are like “Tut Tut, coffee is a serious vice”

There have been some experimental trials run. As someone with an absolutely winning smile and lifelong depression I got in the program at one point.

Ran out of money though, very expensive. Of course first hand experience is an invaluable way to learn anything if you ask questions and watch carefully.

Could you be a little less online about stuff. If you’re lile 15 and just coming out of indoctrination with limited support around I forgive you, otherwise Jesus christ mate get a grip.

Do you talk to people like this in real life?
