I strongly agree! They have such delicate grey pattern, plus these iridescent feathers, and these orange eyes… I’ve been trying to tell people that and I was appalled to see they didn’t seem to undertsand what I was saying. In one specific instance, I was pointing at the pigelon and saying “Look, isn’t it beautiful? See these patterns? See this rainvow on its collar?” and the guy just said “I don’t know, it’s just a pigeon” . I’m starting to think many people don’t actually look at pigeons. They don’t see their shape their feathers or their colors. They quickly identify it as a pigeon, and immediately attach to them all the ideas they’ve been learning to attach to them : Dirty, invasive, pests… It’s like their not seeing an image, just a whiteboard with a bunch of words, attached to more words. Like these overly labelled comics, but only the labels. They look at things and identity them, but don’t see them.
There’s a big difference between wanting self-determination on a territory where you’re already the majority and wanting to colonize a territory and displace it’s current inhabitants under the pretext that your ancestors once lived there…
I was gonna comment to explain why you should use UBlock origins instead, but I see the people have already spoken so I’ll just confirm.
Inreresting, I used to think they were Lebanese since most places that have them where I live are.
If we’re gonna be a Lemmy instance, might as well be a big one!
Bruh, a simple variation in temperature might cause a bigger difference than that…
I wouldn’t say the current regime is really left wing, unlike the USSR. Yeltsin really leaned into the “free market” stuff (with disastrous consequences), and while Putin may have added more elements of planning and protectionism compared to that, he isn’t and doesn’t claim to be any kind of socialist.
Is something wrong with me if I first red “White Mouse” instead of “White House” on the pics and for a split second I thought it was gonna be about Stuart Little?
