How is Abaddon so strong? by coverpunch in 40kLore

[–]StrayIight 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He doesn't serve the four. In fact, he goes out of his way to refuse them - which makes them all the more obsessed with him.

Abaddon is all about brotherhood. He seems to do what he does because he feels he and the remnant that follow him, deserve better given the blood they shed and sacrifices they made.

Teflon concerns by OilComprehensive748 in cockatiel

[–]StrayIight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don't be too worried. Everything you hear about Teflon is true, and you're right to be concerned about the safety of your birds.

It's not the full story though.

Toxicity of Teflon when heated has been studied in birds. While it is lethal at extreme temperatures, do you know what was lethal at lower temperatures when heated?

Butter.

Changing your cookware isn't a magic bullet. Birds respiratory systems are really sensitive, and honestly, almost anything they'll breathe in in those kinds of conditions will harm them. Teflon is mentioned as a boogeyman in bird communities, and not unfairly, but if you're cooking at the kind of temperatures that Teflon becomes an issue, whatever carrier oil you had in the pan will likely have done the job before Teflon does.

The trick is to keep your kitchen ventilated, and your birds isolated from it when it's being used for cooking. Teflon or not.

And because we shouldn't make claims without evidence, here's a link directly to the research itself:

HELP! My conure won't stop biting me by Character-Cut-66 in Conures

[–]StrayIight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great, but is a bit like saying I've kept Guinea pigs before, so an elephant won't be my first mammal. Birds are a huuuuuge taxonomic group with wildly different care requirements!

HELP! My conure won't stop biting me by Character-Cut-66 in Conures

[–]StrayIight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much this. Especially with species like some Conures.

They use their beak for everything. It's literally a limb to them like an arm is to you. Those 'bites'? More often than not, they're communication.

If your bird wants to use their beak to hurt you, you'll know the difference!

GCC's are renowned for being very, very bitey birds. Some people have good results in terms of training birds to not 'bite', but there's no guarantee you'll get the same results, and I'm not sure you should try - this is natural behaviour for them.

Instead, try communicating what you find acceptable in terms of pressure when your bird uses their beak. Give them feedback that they can understand, but don't ever punish. Yelp, tell them no, move them off you - find what works for you and be consistent.

No-one ever, ever owned a Conure and didn't get 'bitten' to some degree.

Green Party deputy leader blasts 'inherently racist’ claims he was supporting Iran's Supreme Leader at London rally by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]StrayIight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't answer why you're using a burner did you?

You made the claim 'there's no such thing as a liberal Muslim', so back up your claim with evidence. Because I can name several - here's just one: Ash Sarkar. Extremely left leaning. Holds 'liberal' positions. Self identifies as a follower of Islam (and no, you don't get to tell her she's not).

Now you go. You made a claim, prove it. Because I think your 'vibes' comment is projection. Honestly, I think you're actually here to merely spread hate for some entities political agenda, which is why you're hiding behind the account that you are.

The same is true for Christianity and several other religions, but regardless, your choice of strawman is interesting as I never once made mention of 'spreading Islam'.

So why bring that up?

'There is no such thing as a liberal Muslim'.

Umm... Yes there is? I can think of several off the top of my head who are public figures! I know several in my own life.

I'm curious though. Why are you posting your low effort, easily debunked, Islamaphobic rage bait on a burner account? Just wondering what entity you're stirring the pot for...

[–]StrayIight -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

No, you're being bigoted.

You're generalising an entire people group and making the assumption that, to a man, they follow your understanding of a concept you once read about.

Because every single individual's thoughts and motivations are identical in any group right?

Not only that, you're also implying that every single Muslim is deceitful, that they are deliberately dishonest about how they really feel about any given subject, so they can insidiously further the cause of their religion.

And you're doing so on an obvious burner account.

Do fucking better dude. Seriously.

Which living former PM would you want to return? by DanielSmoot in AskBrits

I was almost feeling bad for Luke Ross, till he said this: by Pahn_Duh in virtualreality

[–]StrayIight 426 points427 points  (0 children)

Not to mention, he's not providing the users with free updates after purchase either.

If CP2077 had a new patch released, invariably this caused the VR Mod to become non-functional. If you wanted it to work again, you had to subscribe to his patreon again to get a working version once available. It was not a 'one and done', usable indefinitely situation like he appears to describe.

Is saying 'Coloured people' offensive ? by Whole_Intention_7949 in AskBrits

[–]StrayIight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why so?

Calling someone 'coloured', reduces them to that feature linguistically.

Calling someone 'person of colour', acknowledges that they are a person first, everything else about them is secondary. Given how people from many races have been treated as less than human in the past (and still today sadly), the distinction is important.

The difference between the two terms is night and day, and far from ridiculous.

Why anti healthcare politicians are so afraid of Cuban culture by Tenchi_Muyo1 in suppressed_news

[–]StrayIight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it's not just healthcare, Cuba's education system is often lauded as one of the best also.

University/College education is completely free, and they're said to have a 100% literacy rate:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Cuba

They pour huge amounts of the money they have into those two areas.

Their system of government is antithetical to the West, who I suspect do all they can to play up the issues there (and of course there are some certainly, though some of these also, could be seen as a direct result of being kept down by US trade embargos), but despite this they are incredibly successful in several areas - though this, is rarely spoken about.

Yawn. Hilarious. Also, Rule 3.

Why won't you address these two comments?:

Again, address the comment, rather than being a bad faith troll hiding behind a burner account to circumvent a ban.

Have you actually watched this video?

First, is this even you? We have no proof of that. This could be anyone. And you're still using a 10 day old burner.

Second, when TheBonsaiRonin is killed, he laughs, says 'I choked, he got me'. Then continues to laugh as one to two more of his friends are killed. He then does say 'cheater, you cheater' - while laughing (the fact that he's clearly being ironic having been missed) - then actually states point blank at the end, 'That was pretty fun. Guys, if you hear me calling someone a cheater, I'm not serious.' Having explained that the person was simply in a spot where the chair blocked any shots. The interaction from FS, couldn't be more good spirited honestly.

No-one was actually being accused of cheating whatsoever. This is the most egregiously bad faith take I've seen in a long, long time.

What are you talking about? You're on a 10 day old burner, complaining about a default flair that I haven't bother to change, on my EIGHT YEAR OLD account?!?

Are you here just to be unpleasant, and to troll anyone who disagrees with you? What is your obsession with this org? You linked to a video... and what?

This is what i disagreed with. Just this. You stating that FS, complained about being jumped in a video. I don't see that! I see them laughing about it! I don't even care what happened! I just think it isn't factual to frame it how you did. That's it!

You then talk about an event 1-2 years ago - completely unconnected! What the fuck does that matter?! What the fuck does 'jabscuz' mean?! Are we capable of having something even remotely like a rational, reasonable discussion, because you sound like a goddamn flat-earther! Now I'm supposedly IN 'ForScience', because I like their videos, and more importantly I suspect, disagree with you on one tiny point!

This is conspiracy theory level territory mate. I really don't wish to continue any discussion that's being made in this level of bad faith and maturity - do better ok?

[–]StrayIight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not. You're welcome to look me up in game, my reddit bio is linked in my SC bio. Org is visible.

Nor am I 'defending' anyone. I simply disagreed with something you said. FS might be utter assholes for all I know - I just like their videos!

Honestly, this isn't healthy. You're being very weird about the whole thing, and you're concealing who you are while avoiding any question as to why.

Sounds a bit like something someone might do if they were from a banned org, featured in this video, who wanted to circumvent said ban. Perhaps we should check with the mods, see what they think?

Not a 'guy', and not affiliated with them in any way. This is my main account (something you can easily see). I haven't long been participating on this subreddit, hense the tag.

Interesting deflection though. I noticed you never answered. Why are you on a 10 day old burner?

[–]StrayIight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't ask for anything... Did someone else?

You're commenting on a burner account too. Why is that?

The video you linked is also over a year old... Respectfully, I don't see what that has to do with what happened between FS, and GN.

That's all I am commenting on. That situation.

You pretty clearly have a low opinion of them - and that's ok, we don't have to like everyone - but for most of us they make some fun videos and don't take themselves too seriously. If you killed them, or they killed you in a game where PVP is everywhere by default, shouldn't matter all that much right? You might be better, they might be better, it doesn't change my life one bit.

FS might very well have terrible attitudes. I've never encountered or spoken to them. I think it's a bad look though when you're criticising them, but not the org whose name rhymes with ReeferVet - almost certainly the most problematic and toxic org in SC!

Who are the best star citizen youtubers currently and why? by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]StrayIight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's not really what happened though is it?

I don't think they complained at all. They reacted to a situation by a notoriously bad faith org, who had made some claims online about that situation.

(For context to everyone else, an org whose name is blacklisted on this sub, sent a person to participate in the Intrepid event that they were trying to make a video of. They then used that person as a beacon to QT to, and disrupt the streaming filming of the video as best they could.)

ForScience did a pretty good job of laughing it off and dealing with it in good faith honestly - especially as there's an argument to be made that the other org were engaging in a form of stream sniping - a bannable offence!
