the staying power of outdoor cats is remarkable
Gummo (1997)
Lmfao I am seriously crying at work
I know what must be done but that doesnt make it any easier.
If you wanna start an old strugglesession, post about the Falklands
scrolling through island nations or provinces trying to find the best one to start struggle sessions over
Falklands, already done… Hawaii, we all agree… Taiwan also… how about… uh… Corsica?
Goddammit I thought I was gonna just scroll through Wikipedia to come up with some random bizarre historical claim about this peaceful little island, like saying we should re-establish Genoa and return it to them, but now you’ve got me actually going down a rabbit hole investigating the history of the FLNC.
I had no idea there was such a spicy group over there, or that there was even any conflict.
1200 hours of EU4 have prepared me for this moment.
Corsica obviously belongs to the Prusso-Mughal empire, and I’m backing it up with my total war CB.
Give it to Niger as part of reparations. Aim some missiles at France and get Europe to stop fucking with Africa. Create the African Union and have some Soviet/Chinese-style turnaround.
it seems like it would be more helpful to give them agriculture equipment and money than an island they never had and probably don’t even want full of people who don’t think they’re nigerien
Now Niger is getting Mayotte, Clipperton, Guiana, Polynesia, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Caledonia, Réunion, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Wallis and Futuna. Keep pushing and they’re getting more islands.
Bold plan to give a landlocked country with no navy an overseas territory. At least consider Tunisia or Algeria first.
Exactly. They’ll never see it coming. Keeps them on their toes.
Giving Long Island to Mali next.
Pray the deal isn’t altered further.
Dokdo/Takeshima struggle lets goo!
Dokdo is DPRK, get both those US vassal states outta there.
I feel like there’s a good one available about the Soviet occupation of Bornholm maybe.
who cares it happened to natoids
It was before NATO existing tho
NATO taints you retroactively
You wanted a struggle session, you can’t regret your choices now.
just new american internet fads

It’s cruel to kill all the outdoor cats, you’re depriving the coyotes of a valuable food source.
la chew-tha-cat-bruh :kelly:
In all seriousness, cruelty and environmental damage could both be minimized given proper funding and management. As it is it feels like a lot of places have the worst of both worlds (poison to cruelly kill feral cats, that probably makes its way through the food chain, and doesn’t really make a dent in the problem).
Porque no los dos?
Cats act like they own the place.
Therefore outdoor cats act like they own the outdoors.
The outdoors is the commons and belong to everyone.
Trying to own common property is bourgeois.
Outdoor cats are landlords.
QED.
Eradicate outdoor cats by adopting them and turning them into indoor cats
They’ve been a plague driving native birds here to extinction. Even controlling pollution doesn’t remove the threat they pose. If thats what it takes, its what has to be done.
call in the owls
what if instead of exterminating the outdoor cats we rounded them all up and kept them indoors from then on
that’s just a cat gulag
we need to respect the bird’s agency in their own struggle and arm them against the cats
There’s birds of prey that eat cats, but I think that’d be even worse for small bird populations.
I hope this doesn’t cause a struggle session. But animals shouldn’t be bred for profit or a posh hobby when heaps of homeless cats and dogs exist.
individuals adopting troubled animals isn’t a good enough solution a lot of those animals have additional care requirements outside the capabilities of the average pet owner. What should be done is establish shelters with people actually trained to care for abused animals and make those shelters nice places.
You’re misunderstanding me. When people buy pets, they support an industry that creates homeless animals and destroys the pets once they’re no longer young and cute.
