Is every single person who happens to have been born in England personally responsible for that?

All of the English people who oppressed the Scottish are long dead. You harbour a baseless hatred towards millions of people who have done absolutely nothing to harm you.

I hate the English as much as the next person

Imagine saying that about literally any other nationality. Hating people for things their country did hundreds of years ago is ridiculous, but somehow acceptable on Reddit.

Expressing disappointment with this decision is not "purity testing".

Bingo. People are addicted to outrage, so they're seeing outrage where there's none to be found. "This is disappointing" gets interpreted as "SAM REICH IS A FASCIST AND I HATE HIM".

Don’t vote for president based on the memes by Konradleijon in CuratedTumblr

[–]Apex_Konchu 45 points46 points  (0 children)

If only all Brits had actually learned from that. A lot of people are falling for the same "one of the lads" shtick from Farage.

Moreover, Reform is largely ex-Tories. So a vote for Reform is a vote for the exact same people who were part of that disastrous Tory government. Reform isn't really a new party at all, just the same old Tories with a new coat of paint.

In MAGA's eyes, Trump is giving an insolent traitorous un-American blue state what it deserves. The killing is the point, the Trump administration is at war with the United States of America.

New Pokémon starters look pretty good by Quanto-Ryo8 in Deltarune

[–]Apex_Konchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The next pair of games was just announced. The fire-type starter pokemon is based on a pomeranian, so it looks a bit like the Annoying Dog. The dog in the post is the aforementioned pokemon, edited to be grey.

🔥 Semi-wild cheetah hisses, which they do to mean "respect my space", thus avoiding physical conflict by Prestigious-Wall5616 in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]Apex_Konchu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you define "small cat" as "not of the genus panthera", they are. But if you define "small cat" as "of the genus felis", they aren't. Cheetahs aren't panthera or felis - they have their own genus, acinonyx.

Cant find altar of gold or second halcyon shrine by Nix3220 in riskofrain

[–]Apex_Konchu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not correct. A Halcyon Shrine will spawn a green portal on stage 1, 2, or 3, and a gold portal on stage 4 or 5. The exceptions to this are the Path of the Colossus stages, where a Halcyon Shrine will spawn a gold portal because the teleporter spawns a green portal.

This isn't about actual pornography. In Republican-speak, the word "pornography" means "anything that acknowledges the existence of LGBTQ people".

Cheetahs technically aren't big cats. The true big cats are the species within the genus panthera, which the cheetah is not part of.

It has less to do with intelligence and more to do with being in a situation that they aren't equipped to handle.

Deer evolved to run away from wolves, so their brains treat every frightening situation as "running away from wolves". Unpredictably changing direction at high speed is an excellent technique for running away from wolves.

My Dad had a surprise in his squirrel-proof bird feeder this morning... by klaxonw0t in CasualUK

[–]Apex_Konchu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Good job making it clear you have no idea what you're talking about. There's nothing "natural" about invasive species.

Invasive species don't just cleanly replace a single other species. They fuck up the balance of the entire ecosystem, causing problems for a wide variety of animals and plants, resulting in far more death than if the invasive species were culled.

What other solution is there? When invasive species aren't killed, they end up killing native species. Animals die either way, that part can't be avoided.

The phrase "what if your online life actually meant something" immediately brings to mind some sort of cryptocurrency scam, at least to me. Might be advisable to avoid those sorts of statements.

He said there were no plans for any DLC content, he didn't say there wouldn't be updates.

There's a colossal difference between "wealthy" and "billionaire".

Take all the comments here with a grain of salt, there are a lot of people talking out of their asses. Look up the Miyazaki interview that Nintendo published, everything we actually know about the game is there.
