  • You need to really consider how significant the difference is between intention and action in this regard. A hunter ‘intends’ to get the best animal they encounter. In the wild, Prime animals will not give them the opportunity. Even getting the biggest animal they’ve ever heard of isn’t necessarily the ‘best’ one out there. Being so large it is likely old, and past its prime. You’re basically arguing against a definition. By being culled it is, by definition, not good enough.

    This is first year ecology stuff. You are arguing with feelings instead of looking at the harsh realities involved. Audit a first year biology class if you want your concerns to be taken seriously.



  • Unless they specifically hunt the weakest and sickest and oldest kangaroos

    They do. IRL the animals that get culled are those that were too weak, slow, or careless to avoid getting got. Hunting in the wild (whether done by humans or animals) has this feature innately, like it or not.

    Frankly OP’s wall of text is deeply ignorant of the realities involved. The only argument that holds water without a simple ‘citation needed’ rebuttle is his first point regarding individual rights. Even then, we knowingly set aside that concern to prioritize the survival of the species.






  • Techies in Europe – who obviously have a vested interest in unsettling Microsoft stronghold on the market as AWS, Microsoft, and Google have upwards of a 70 percent share of the public cloud sector in the region – previously highlighted the potential dangers of US legislation.

    I’ve mentioned this before as a criticism for Canadian boycotts of the US. Every large Canadian website, even Government and News use US cloud services. Every. One.

    Frank Karlitschek, CEO of Nextcloud, told us in March, “The Cloud Act grants US authorities access to cloud data hosted by US companies. It does not matter if that data is located in the US, Europe, or anywhere else.”

    How was this allowed to happen? The minute that law was passed all sites that use them should have discontinued their contracts. JFC.
