Keeps going? I've been avoiding it for decades and I can see it from my porch.

Last time I visited the customs office emptied out into a literal ghetto. Like, an entire 4 blocks of ought-to-be-condemned housing with rusted out patchwork wrecks abandoned in yards and on the street (or worse following behind you). The corner gas station had more security features than most prisons in Canada, and every street sign had numerous bullet holes. That was their welcome mat 2 decades ago. F that shithole country.

The word that was created to represent something that exists: misandry

OP: 'nuh uhh'

The operation, led by the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) in collaboration with Hanoi police, not only shuttered FMovies but also took down twelve related streaming sites including AniWave, Bflixz, Flixtorz, Movies7, Myflixer, and Vidsrc

Nah, her nose definitely moved. She does it twice in this clip and her nose moves both times. https://youtu.be/115T9BInGIc?t=198

Edit: To be clear I agree she's using her upper lip but it 'does' cause the nostrils to wobble side to side.

who never aim for the best

They aim for what is available. This is usually the weakest, but not necessarily. Particularly with pack hunters.

obviously doesn’t strengthen the herd

Obviously (eyerolls and gestures to all the prey animals clearly doing well due to their regulated hunting).

You need to really consider how significant the difference is between intention and action in this regard. A hunter 'intends' to get the best animal they encounter. In the wild, Prime animals will not give them the opportunity. Even getting the biggest animal they've ever heard of isn't necessarily the 'best' one out there. Being so large it is likely old, and past its prime. You're basically arguing against a definition. By being culled it is, by definition, not good enough.

This is first year ecology stuff. You are arguing with feelings instead of looking at the harsh realities involved. Audit a first year biology class if you want your concerns to be taken seriously.

Aiming for best, and actually getting it are 2 different things.

Unless they specifically hunt the weakest and sickest and oldest kangaroos

They do. IRL the animals that get culled are those that were too weak, slow, or careless to avoid getting got. Hunting in the wild (whether done by humans or animals) has this feature innately, like it or not.

Frankly OP's wall of text is deeply ignorant of the realities involved. The only argument that holds water without a simple 'citation needed' rebuttle is his first point regarding individual rights. Even then, we knowingly set aside that concern to prioritize the survival of the species.

Pics or it didn't happen.

It's important to remember the word 'ideal' that dictates the conditions needed. The gas cannot be mixing with an 'external' source, gaining or losing energy to it's surroundings beyond the changes being specifically examined, is not subject to any forces or conditions not considered, and so on...

You're literally asking 'at what point are perfect conditions, impossible to every truly achieve, implausible?'. The answer to that: as soon as any factor cannot be simply ignored for the sake of simplifying the math.

Sorry mate, but any first year biology student learns that the higher up the food chain the more concentrated the heavy metals are. Take Tuna. As free range as you can get but it is advised to minimize consumption, particularly when pregnant, due to the high mercury content.

While lifestyle does affect palatability of the meat (Bear near the dump always tastes 'off') it is more a question of 'what' is being bioaccumulated, not 'if'. In your example scavengers are bioaccumulating pesticides and preservatives, whereas the successful predator accumulates all the heavy metals its prey, and their prey, and their prey (repeat until the bottom of the tree) consumed.

You can't get around it. All high level predators have shitty meat, whether it tastes bad or not.

 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on the UN General Assembly to work together to stop Russia's war in his country, accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of seeking to expand the fighting beyond Ukraine.

Russia has moved to classify key demographic statistics following a dramatic collapse in its birth rate, which has plunged to levels not seen since the late 18th or early 19th century, according to a leading Russian demographer.

For decades, Russia has been experiencing a plunging birth rate and population decline, which appears to have worsened amid its ongoing invasion of Ukraine—with high casualty rates and men fleeing the country to avoid being conscripted to fight.

Projections estimate that Russia's population will fall to about 132 million in the next two decades. The United Nations has predicted that in a worst-case scenario, by the start of the next century, Russia's population could almost halve to 83 million.

 

Gross domestic product (GDP) only grew by 1.4% in the first quarter of 2025 – a notable decline from 4.5% growth in the previous quarter and 5.4% in the same period last year, the Moscow Times reported, citing Rosstat data.

The latest data from Rosstat came in below expectations: the Russian Economic Development Ministry estimated GDP growth at 1.7% and Bloomberg analysts predicted 1.8% growth.

 

The drone targeted a shuttle bus that was transporting civilians near the city of Bilopillia at 6:17 a.m. local time, the Sumy Regional Military Administration reported on Telegram.

Sumy Oblast is a northeastern region that borders Russia's Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk oblasts.

 

Ukraine lost an F-16 fighter jet on Friday morning after an incident on board, though the pilot ejected safely, the Ukrainian air force said in a statement.

"According to preliminary data... an unusual situation arose on board. The pilot moved the aircraft away from the settlement and successfully ejected," it said on the Telegram messenger.

 

A U.S. congressional official on May 9 announced that Washington had given the green light for Germany to transfer the weapons to Kyiv, the NYT reported. The shipment includes 125 long-range artillery rockets and 100 Patriot air defense missiles.

Tesla told Austin workers on its Model Y and Cybertruck lines to stay home for the week of Memorial Day, three workers told Business Insider.

The break is unusually long, the workers said. Production lines were up and running during the same period last year, they said.

The electric vehicle maker notified employees earlier this week. The workers, who are paid hourly, were told they could either take paid time off or come in for cleaning and training but would not be working on the production line.

Tesla deliveries dropped 13% year over year during the first quarter.

 

The European Union has pledged to supply over 1.35 million rounds in 2025 and plans to allocate nearly 1.9 billion euro ($2.1 billion) from Russian frozen assets in military support for Ukraine, Ukrainian officials announced on May 9.

 

The sanctions list includes 58 individuals and 74 companies, with 67 Russian enterprises related to military technology. The decree comes into force on May 9, the day of its publication.
