The candidates may represent something closer to diplomacy vs brutality, but the problem with the election this year appears to be a major lack of engagement by Democratic voters. So when you’re asking the question of what causes people who previously voted to not vote, apathy is pretty high on the list of possible explanations.

I am Canadian, I will sigh and vote for the leftist party that slightly reduces the flow rate of bullshit, because lesser evil blah blah. But it’s extremely easy to understand why that apathy permeates, and when parties allow that to fester by choosing not to address issues their voters clearly care deeply about, they are also to blame.

No, for moose you are actually supposed to swerve and risk the ditch.

Literal raw produce gets recalled quite frequently too..

Both of those functions have been available via key fob for at least a decade, no internet required. Though yes the range on that can be limited.

I think one major difference is feathers - we have not had feathers show up in any mammalian mutations or evolutions that I know of. We went a different direction, with the fur and all. So even if fast tracking wings were possible I think that would involve some kind of fur covering and different adaptation for flight more akin to bats.

Another major hiccup is - fast tracked uncontrolled evolution, aka genetic mutation, without the controls/failsafes (such as non-viable mutated animals dying out and failing to breed) just equates to cancer…

We mammals are pretty far (~65 million years) diverged from birds, so you’d probably be looking at more of a bat style wing or flying squirrel gliding skin mechanism than anything feathered.

In the last few decades yes probably

I’m sure the conservatives will continue trying to figure out a way to push it to withering and crumbling… they definitely tried to sell off/privatize chunks of them in the past but the level of outrage they were met with has put those ideas to bed for the time being

Then subsidize the farmers by the amount you were paying them to not harvest the food ? They don’t make any money when they aren’t selling it at all either, without this intervention…

Is there no SPCA or other dog rescue in your area? Research them a bit and then notify one

They probably did that to try to learn more about their longevity and habits

 

The community !fossils was created over a month ago, no activity since. The creator/mod has had no activity on their account for the last month as well. I messaged them over a week ago to request to mod the community and got no response.

This user is also parking several other empty communities which I am not personally interested in moderating, but may be nice to free them up for someone who is?

Thanks!
