My understanding of these trophy hunts is that they only allow people to shoot the animals that are no longer contributing to the gene pool.

They collect a ton of money to support conservation by allowing some rich guy to shoot an old lion or elephant or whatever that would have died soon of natural causes, whether a fight with a younger male, or disease, or a lifetime of accumulated injuries.

If that is accurate, I’m ok with this system. That said I have no interest in participating in it and have done little research outside of the information I’ve naturally encountered in everyday life.

Slowly playing through Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga for GBA. I wait too long between sessions and forget where I was supposed to be going.

Same for FFIX. Currently on disc 4.

We’re all here to talk about stuff. That’s what’s happening here.

Guess I’m just shocked that such a comment would be removed. Seems harmless. It changes how I think about that community.

I looked at many comments in that thread when the conversation was linked in a different post. Never noticed a rule violation.

Do you really think it’s against the rules to imply someone’s religion isn’t real? I would be much more concerned if comments like that were censored.

Was that comment really a rule violation? Would you want that comment to be removed if someone else had posted it?

I just don’t see the controversy here.

Do you think it’s against the rules to imply that someone’s religion isn’t real? Why should that be something we can’t say?

To add to this, the US already has a universal symbol for pharmacies. It’s a capital R with the slanted leg extended past the bottom of the R and crossed to make a X.

Old Millennial.

I grew up without cell phones or Internet until my teen years. Remember watching the OJ trial whenever I was home sick from school.

We were really worried about Y2K, which would have been a disaster if not fixed ahead of time.

Had to work on 9/11, and remember what airports were like before all the added security.

Also had to work - pushing groceries to people’s cars while the VA sniper was rolling around the area shooting people in parking lots.

I remember people smoking cigarettes fucking everywhere. There were cigarette vending machines.

Our 2 and 3 liter bottles had an extra plastic piece to make the bottom flat. I don’t think they were making them with feet like they do today. The bottoms were round, requiring a plastic shoe to create a flat bottom. Sometimes the bottles had a metal cap.

Hardly anybody wore seatbelts. Gas was under $1/gallon when I started driving.

You all may have other issues with this person, but saying you’re going to show embarrassing baby pictures to boyfriends/girlfriends has been standard parenting behavior for as long as there have been photos. Nothing about that makes flying squid a pedo. Stop trying to make fetch happen.
