This man was specifically not gooning, gooning is about lasting as long as you can.

It says LITRPG, not RPG. LITRPG is a story genre.

(Edit: this is meant to be informative, not condescending. I hadn’t heard of that genre until semi recently.)

This is why we should use things like GPL.

I guess this is more of a fraction times a fraction equals a smaller fraction than a negative times a negative equals a positive sort of thing then.

At this point y’all aren’t disagreeing about what happened or if it was good/bad, just about how terms like “normal” and “nothing burger” should be used.

I can’t find any mention of the specific species of peafowl the man had. My personal guess is that it’s just a stock image of a peacock. None of the articles below mention the species, but one does have the same mugshot.

Quoting the AP article,

The 61-year-old man from Hudson, Florida, was arrested last week on a third-degree felony charge of aggravated animal cruelty, according to an affidavit from the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.

The man told investigators that he had killed the two peacocks because his neighbor kept feeding them. He had written the neighbor a letter telling her that he would continue to kill his pet peacocks if she kept feeding them “to prove a point,” according to the affidavit, which didn’t say how many peacocks he kept.

The man “admitted to killing the bird by cutting the bird’s neck out of spite, then bleeding it out, and then later eating the bird after cooking it on a frying pan,” the affidavit said.

So it doesn’t seem so simple as him merely getting arrested for deciding to eat one of his peafowl.

Killing an endangered animal and cruelty to animals are separate statutes. So I think it’s safe to safe it’s not an endangered peafowl.

I don’t care enough to pull the man’s actual court records and see if he was also charged with Intentional killing or wounding of any species designated as endangered, threatened, or of special concern.

If anyone wants to sleuth on this further, feel free.

I like em. But I also don’t have to walk near them or where they poo, so take my opinion as you will.

Democracy manifest!

Why do you think solar has to be local?

You can double check it but I think solar is cheaper now. I was shocked as well, I thought nuclear was the cheapest still.

Let’s be realistic. Not everyone is going to move to Codeberg. Godot moving to Codeberg would be decentralizing.

You can always checkout the branch and run it yourself.

What’s the inverse Dunning-Kruger where you’re asking for help as a novice but someone thinks you’re implying you know more than you do? That shit happened to me once and I’m still salty. I literally said I was a novice looking for help and they had the audacity to imply I was on mount stupid. Like my brother in Christ I would not be saying I am a beginner looking for help if I was over estimating my abilities and thinking I was an expert.

We should get ahead of the curve by making Markcoin then. Let’s do halfsies on an ICO.

Yeah, in the book of Revelation in the Bible as a sign of the end times followers of Satan will have a visible mark on them. Many evangelical Christian conspiracy theorists believe that in a literal sense. Paired with many conservatives also not wanting the government to be able to track them, a national ID system (as opposed to state IDs) has never really gain traction.

You can read more about this here if you’re interested. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_beast#Mark_of_the_beast

Some fundamentalist Christian groups, as well as various Christian writers in other traditions, interpret the mark as a requirement for all commerce to mean that the mark might actually be an object in the right hand or forehead with the function of a credit card, such as RFID microchip implants.[73] Some of these groups believe the implantation of chips may be the imprinting of the mark of the beast, prophesied to be a requirement for all trade and a precursor to God’s wrath.[74][75] Similar objections were raised about barcodes upon their introduction.[76]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, some groups associated COVID-19 vaccines and mask wearing with the mark of the beast, or that it was a microchip in the vaccine.[77] Some religious leaders spoke out against this as a misinterpretation of Revelation 13:16-18.[78] Medical institutions such as Hennepin County Medical Center noted this in their fact sheets about the vaccine.[79] A similar version was spread by Marjorie Taylor Greene, who referred to vaccine passports as being the mark of the beast.[80]

The same group that pushes for voter ID laws refuses to implement a national ID system because they’re afraid of the mark of the beast.

Well obviously the propaganda I grew up with is better and clearly didn’t affect me at all…

There’s a big difference between “hey kids, use this machine, it has Internet access and Brand products” and “hey kids, ask me anything you’d like, and I’ll give you the Brand approved answer.”

They’re putting AI in children’s school laptops? Not only teaching them to think less, but letting a corporation directly influence them?

Might be meant to explain that folks say “American” to mean people from the United States more often than the American continents. Especially since it’s for teaching people a different language.
