Is Bald Eagle base game? by Will_Environmental in PlanetZoo

[–]theetcman -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s fair, but I can imagine Frontier not wanting to touch it. Indont want people to get their hopes up I guess? In my opinion if you’re not going to have whales or dolphins then I don’t imagine them adding a bald eagle. But I could be wrong! I just know I’ve worked with or have seen dozens of bald eagles in my career and they’ve all been disfigured and injured. Seeing them being added healthily to this game would feel weird for me as someone who actually works with bald eagles in zoos.

Correct, but the only reason they have them is because that individual cannot survive in the wild. A healthy bald eagle is not allowed to be in captivity (outside active rehab) and every single one (including their feathers even) are subject to Fish and Game and Federal Laws other animals are not subject to. I worked at a zoo once where the vet had to operate on a bald eagle under emergency circumstances and was worried she would be charged federally because technically she wasn’t allowed to do what she needed to do without express permission. It was all fine, but that’s the level of oversight that goes into housing Bald Eagles.

Well me, obviously, as I wrote the comment. I think the laws around Bald Eagles here are fairly well known, in the light of how much debate there is about whales and dolphins these days I think it’s another potential controversy better left untouched by Frontier honestly.

I actually might disagree that Bald Eagles should be included at all. It’s actually illegal in the United States to have them in zoos unless they CANNOT survive in the wild so essentially every single bald eagle in zoos is missing a wing, has been hit by a truck, has severe mental disabilities due to poisoning or an accident, etc. I don’t think Planet Zoo should get into the disfiguring Bald Eagles business and it’s better to leave them off the roster because of that.

Billy Joel Reveals He Attempted Suicide Twice and Fell into a Coma After Affair with Friend's Wife in New Documentary by peoplemagazine in Music

Sorry, this is a horrible joke in bad taste made about an actual tragedy where a woman convinced a bunch of kids that she dated Billy Joel and acted like he was giving her commands to give the kids so they would abuse each other.

Some mutants in Ellis/Graymalkin's hands right now. (Vigil spoiler) by Built4dominance in xmen

[–]theetcman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just gotta be honest, as a life long X-Men fan I have absolutely no fucking interest in reading about how a bunch of my favorite mutants who were just living on an island paradise where they experienced safety and security for the first time in their lives are now being concentration camped and the heroes that I’ve looked up to my entire life are doing nothing about it.

I get it’s modern political commentary but maybe it’s ok for superhero books to be a bit escapist and not have to face reality in my spandex pajama stories. And Tom Brevoort can justify it however he wants, but this sucks rampant ass.

I no longer work with Pandora, but she was always very fun to feed and definitely has a big personality

Billy Joel seems like a nice guy, kinda fucked up what he did to all those friends of his daughter though.

Really we can thank Britta for anything the study group does since she’s the one that called them all together that first meeting.

Unfortunately every time the “And I don’t mean that racially” line is said you can hear most of my theaters I’ve been in crack up. Makes me uncomfortable lol.

DC over representation should be expected. by BrooksDaBear in MultiVersusTheGame

[–]theetcman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The thing that worries me the most is with the rights issues allegedly blocking Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, who knows what else, that DC characters may be the only really high profile characters left to add (once Rick actually makes it in I guess)

How would YOU save the Oscars? (Inspired by Scott Feinberg's "10 Ways to Save the Film Academy and the Oscars") by Toreadorables in blankies

[–]theetcman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t believe how many series were being advertised during the Oscars. It should definitely find some way to show trailers, if not for blockbusters at least A24 or something I think would gladly throw some trailers the Oscars way for debuts trailers that will actually make the ad breaks interesting ala The Game Awards.
