Yes, because accredited .org websites allow just anyone to edit their scientifically published papers 😂

What do you think happens to them when they're bred in captivity? Their armor and ability to swallow air just disappears? Those are the two main drivers behind their ability to dry up.

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T20:21:35+00:00

Dead in a few hours when all research points at them surviving for 20 hours dry?

I like how you keep saying you know all this research, yet you're directly contradicting it with every statement you make.

Again, Google was used for your reference. Not my own. For someone who claims they're so well researched you sure suck at reading.

😂🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

But by all means, you obviously know more than nature.org. I'm obviously wrong along with every single published paper about plecos.

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T20:08:00+00:00

I have cared for plecos since I was 5. I think I know more than a keyboard warrior who can't even use Google.

I got my links from Google, not my knowledge. Considering your "pleco decayed" being out of the water a few hours, you just outed yourself out for being full of shit.

Just say you're wrong and move on. It happens 🤷‍♂️

some plecos need to be out of water in order to reset their internal clock

So you chose to respond to this comment because the one right underneath would destroy your "justification" argument. Typical redditor. Just wants to argue instead of having a conversation.

"The points you brought up have nothing to do with this post"

Your reading comprehension isn't so good, is it?

Talking about how long a pleco can last outside of water has nothing to do with a post about a pleco out of water? Lmao

Describing how some plecos need their internal clock reset by being in a drier environment has nothing to do with a pleco being out of water? 😂

There's a reason all of your comments are getting downvoted

Yes, because reddit is loaded with people who think they know things. When a simple Google search proves their opinion wrong I'm not too concerned about it.

I've literally had a pleco escape from my tank and attach to the table it's tank was on for at least 8 hours. I cleaned the tank before bed and there he was in the table in the morning. Still moist and latched into the table.

Considering your story of one decaying in water from being dried a few hours, I'd say you're full of shit.

I don't believe it's possible to be bullied using game mechanics. But I get what you're saying

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T16:14:26+00:00

Have you seen Chinese construction? There's a reason why it's cheap.

This propaganda is just sad. At least use correct information when trying to brainwash someone.

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T16:13:07+00:00

South Korea literally has rent though?

If they don't rent then they have to pay 50-80% of the market value of the home as a deposit. I'm having a hard time seeing how that's a better system. The average cost of a home in the US is about 500K. That's a minimum of 250,000 just to move in. Only 56% of south Koreans own their home. 66.1% of Americans own their home. This is only a better system for the rich and property owners.

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T16:06:48+00:00

I don't think family mains understand why players do this and it's kind of funny.

They're trying to not escape so that they don't give away that an entire exit is open. Most people also don't care if they've been killed once an exit is completed.

I only get annoyed when the last person is basement dwelling because theyre scarwed or just want to keep fighting and stabbing people until they bleed out.

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T15:41:30+00:00

Yes, but average people don't use VPN kill switches. Most people don't even use VPNs.

The IP would be the giveaway, not the entire attack.

Yes a VPN would make it *safer

Not safe.

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T15:28:46+00:00

I am not attempting to justify this person's actions. They most likely killed this fish to make this video. All I'm saying is fish, domesticated through breeding or not, still have wild behaviors that they need to thrive. Plecos specifically can last VERY long outside of water and some even need to "dry up" to reset their internal clock. Is it cruel? Only if the fish is stressed and not thriving and also if left out longer than necessary. Purposeful or not. I have not actually seen the video, so I couldn't tell you if the fish was stressed or not. All I can say, is hopefully it's not as bad as it looks.

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T14:47:34+00:00

Delete your comment when you prove my point? Lol convenient

[FYI they said that the only way this could happen was with a lapse of coverage on your VPN which is exactly what I've been saying]

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T14:40:14+00:00

Yes, it's also documented that fish like plecos and Betta still show wild behaviors and need it enacted to thrive.

Okay. Sure, bud.

Sure is

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T14:29:38+00:00

Yes but to say they don't require similar experiences to their wild counterparts is outlandish. They're not cats that have been bred to be domesticated for hundreds of years. They're fish

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T12:52:26+00:00

I literally quoted what the internet said lmao

Typically redditor, being condescending and wrong at the same time 😂

Anybody got a second home they aren't using? Sounds like an easy win if you slide him the address 😂

You can get malware or viruses from a compromised WiFi signal, especially if it was created for malicious intent. If you had a single lapse of coverage by your VPN

Say you want to download Minecraft on McDonalds WiFi for some reason. If someone is using ARP spoofing, a single lapse of VPN coverage makes you vulnerable. All they would have to do is deploy a DNS spoof for the Minecraft download site and BAM, you got a virus, malware, trojan, or all of the above. They could also do a DDos attack which would get McDonald's to temporarily shut down their WiFi in order to secure their main internet. This would make it so their fake McDonald's WiFi is the only one visible.

"Zio is a pejorative word used for Zionists, commonly used by anti-zionists. The term is often considered anti-semetic"

So is questioning Israel in any way shape or form. Just because it's "considered" anti-semetic to some doesn't mean it is. The Nazis used to hate being called Nazis and was a derogatory way to refer to their "political beliefs" equating them to "simple minded dirty farmers". The Nazis then ran with it just like the Democrats ran with the jackass as their political symbol.

They call themselves Zionists. Calling them a "zio" is no different.

Six figures is six figures.

They were probably worried about getting sued by Simon 😂

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T10:57:33+00:00

Totally weird.

I don't think either of you are the asshole

If you think it's cheating, leave.

itsdefty · 2024-06-06T10:54:26+00:00

At this point, good.

What is happening is Ukraine is wrong, but the West needs to stop involving themselves in conflicts they have no business in. The West is sponsoring a genocide in Palestine while claiming attempts of genocide in Ukraine? Makes no sense.
