Neo-Nazis and Other Trump Fans Accuse Microsoft of Rigging the Iowa Caucuses

@ Alan- Another cool thing about zoos is that they help with species conservation efforts by breeding endangered animals. If things get really bad and all of a species natural environment gets wrecked, zoos can help prevent extinction. I saw axolotls at my local zoo and it’s good to know they’re still around even if their native lakes are too polluted for them to live in. The zoo also has some white rhinos, Przewalski’s horses, gorillas, tigers, and a polar bear. All of the enclosures are in good shape, although the penguins seem a bit crowded. :/ They’re making a new penguin area, though.

I also went to this one place called Binder Zoo and it has these huge enclosures for African prairie animals and giraffes.

Most zoos are good and the animals who live there live healthy, long lives. The history of zoos is ugly, though, and I agree there is no perfect replica for a wild habitat and lifestyle.

It’s clear that Microsoft was not behind Trump’s loss. No, it was behind Sanders’ “loss.” Microsoft used its terrifying black box program to rig the coin tosses.

That was just me joking. I don’t actually think that Microsoft rigged the coin tosses.

Smartypants Goose Duarte tweeted this:

They literally let money decide the election.

That was just me joking. I don’t actually think that Microsoft rigged the coin tosses.

Sorry. This election has left me literally unable to tell when anyone is joking about anything.

Yeah, I think I mentioned the conservation work; I’m still not convinced any zoo can be cool though. The mere fact that by comparison, some zoos aren’t (visibly) as shitty as others, doesn’t necessarily make them acceptable.

I personally don’t have a problem with some of the smaller animals being kept in captivity. It might be possible to design a habitat that an axolotol doesn’t notice differs from nature. For the bigger animals though, even the nicest seeming set up is a problem. They’re used to much larger environments and there are lots of subtle features that can’t be replicated. The animals can seem fine to the layperson but they can show signs of stress when monitored closely by experts.

We have to be careful not to fall into an attitude of “well, we need their homes for our purposes so it’s ok to preserve a few in a replica environment”. Was horrible when we did it to humans, still horrible when we do it to other creatures.

Hello.

Hmm, i guess they are the kind of person who curse the dices or the cards, the car or the bike, the horse or the weather, when they loose.
But this is ludicrous : as the great Tsoukalos reminds it so often, when you can not explain something, even a defeat, it is just because Aliens. You do not understand why Trump has lost ? Aliens. Pure and simple.

Have a nice day.

JB dug up an old andreahardie account.

And Judgy B is busy playing Daesh female enforcer, on Twitter, pushing that women shouldn’t vote.

Judgy B thinks women aren’t fit to vote — we can’t think our way out of a paper bag.

By extension, we also shouldn’t express our opinions on Twitter or in op-ed pieces or in videos. We should leave that sort of thing to men, who do know how to think.

Maybe Judgy B doesn’t vote. Maybe. But she tweets and writes op-ed pieces and creates videos.

Judgy B: Logic much?

katz:

Even if every penny of it had been his money, that would just mean “I’m really really really rich.” Only a GOP candidate could think that in and of itself was a selling point.

Well, there’s a certain efficiency to it. Money corrupts the political process, but Trump comes pre-corrupted.

Vaguely related to the zoo/animal rights thing

Thought this might be a good space to share this. Last night I made some comments on Facebook about hunting big game (against it). Didn’t really get much response. A few people raising the issue of local economy, conservation etc. Not unreasonable counter points I suppose.

This morning a friend who’s a woman has made the identical comments I did. Anyone here care to guess how people have responded to her?

Bonus points if you can guess the most common word used :-/

@dhag85

Same mental gymnastics we see in all feMRAs. When they say women shouldn’t vote, they make exceptions for women who aren’t “like other women”. JB thinks if women level up to let’s say level 28, they’ll mentally evolve into men, at which point they can have the same rights as men.

So different rights for different groups of women?

Women must pass certain tests before they can vote?

In the USA, at least, so-called literacy tests administered to potential voters have been banned.

@Kat

That’s how I interpret all their claims of “REAL equality”.

Women can have the same rights as men, as long as they “behave like men”.

Black people can have the same rights as whites, as long as they “behave like whites”.

Etc.
