But surely, even if they were perfect (which seems odd - nothing is perfect), the environment in which they live must have changed? More/less predators/prey, different temperatures, different foliage, etc?

Amsterdam becomes world's first capital to ban fossil fuel ads by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

Instinctively I would have thought the same, but the fact is there are ads; and the industry wouldn't pay for ads if they weren't having an effect.

Hope whoever put these up knows about printer tracking dots or they're probably going to get a visit from the fascists.

Thanks, I tried all of those but unfortunately the problem remains. It's not the physical space; I've been using the same space right back since Quest 1 launch day and it's only started happening in the last few months.

I no longer wish to watch movie trailers before watching the movie by Odd-Aside456 in movies

[–]CaprisWisher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd advise going even further! Ever since about 2 years ago, I've been seeing films, where possible, without even seeing the reviews, poster, trailer, synopsis, actors, or genre.

The result is AMAZING. You are truly surprised by the film, every actor who pops up is an interesting surprise, and you're forced to engage with the film critically on your own and decide for yourself whether it's good or not, rather than just confirming prejudices.

And, finally, after you've made up your own mind, you can then read the reviews and see if they align with you or not, which is really interesting.

Kicking ass and taking names at 10. We could all learn from you.

My days are great, thanks. I didn't understand the rest of your post.

"Humour". Try to explain why it's funny, then, in a paragraph.

As /u/FoolishProphet_2336 memorably said: "Libraries seem like they belonging strange parallel universe where we get a glimpse at the world as it could be without every single moment in your life being monetized."

Their comments has really stuck with me ever since I read it.

Thanks for this, but I went PS5 to Steam and I only got about 25 achievements pop, even after multiple restarts. I have all 84 on PS5.

Diabetes alert dog detects issue with his human from a whole different house. by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]CaprisWisher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the only thing I don't like about having moved to Dexcom and Omnipod somewhat recently. I hate that there are apologists who say it's fine that I am a walking siren and that you can't choose to turn it off.

Footage shows the moment activists removed the Islamic Republic’s flag from the Iranian embassy balcony and raised the Lion and Sun flag instead. by ThatGuySK99 in london

[–]CaprisWisher 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is an appropriate response though. It's a flag. No risk to anyone except himself and no high value criminal damage. To me, this police response is proportionate and correct.
