Whhhhhat? That’s awesome!

A rare polar bear that was spotted in a remote village in Iceland was shot by police after being considered a threat, authorities have said.
The bear was killed in the north-west tip of the country after police consulted the national environment agency, which declined to have the animal relocated, according to the Westfjords police chief, Helgi Jensson.
“It’s not something we like to do,” Jensson said. “In this case … the bear was very close to a summer house. There was an old woman in there.”
The owner, who was alone, was frightened and locked herself upstairs as the bear rummaged through her garbage, Jensson said. She contacted her daughter in Reykjavik, the capital, by satellite link, and called for help.
“She stayed there,” Jensson said, adding that other summer residents in the area had gone home. “She knew the danger.”
Do you seriously lack reading comprehension skills? The section of my comment you’ve pointed out says that I value them equally, not that polar bears are more valuable than humans, and not that humans are more valuable than polar bears. This is why I knew it was pointless to argue with you, because you aren’t doing it in good faith. Go protect your imaginary school from the polar bears massing an imminent attack if you want to act like this.
Just feed them to the polar bears.
I never said I didn’t care.
The difference between the two of us is that you think humans are more important than other animals and I don’t. If this polar bear killed a few humans in Iceland, I’m not saying those particular humans would deserve it, but we as a species do. This polar bear didn’t do anything wrong. It has no capacity to, it was just trying to survive. Maybe instead of destroying anything that may potentially be a threat to humans, we should protect the planet we live on and the habitats of our fellow plants and animals. It’s in our own best interests too. No sense arguing about it though, I doubt either of us will change our minds.
So what about humans posing a threat to them? If it’s so rare to have them show up in Iceland, what drove a polar bear to do this? From what I understand, with less ice at the poles it has made it harder for polar bears to hunt seals, leaving many of them starving. As we head towards winter, polar bears have to put on fat stores to survive and feed newborn cubs. It’s really a shame that so many people talk about “animals” as if we aren’t animals too. By your logic, there would be nothing wrong with polar bears rolling into town and eating the species threatening their survival.
Please tell me they fixed the resolution!
So, I was curious and did some digging on the old LLV. Apparently it has a 13.5 gallon tank, and the vehicle is rated at 17mpg, but in actual use it gets more like 8-10mpg. So taking the worst case of 8, that’s about 100 mile range, so the NGDV isn’t really all that much worse. I’m guessing that’s going to cover the majority of routes, with the few outliers being covered by the gas powered versions.
Atomicrops. It’s a solid rogue-lite farming game that is a lot of fun to just pop into and make a run.
No, neither of them are. Senate terms are for 6 years, and Warnock came in on a special election to finish a term, then ran again to get a full term which he won, so those seats are safe a little longer. Still, our state house is dominated by Republicans, so it would be nice to have some better representation in the state.
As a Georgian, I hope he loses again because the motivation for that might go down ballot too. Fuck em.
He’s a terrible person, but apparently a very good attorney.
The $upreme Court: No they didn’t!
Oh damn, didn’t realize it was on mobile. Great game!
Man, I would love it if these assholes didn’t shop there. So many times I’ve run into one when shopping there and they are spouting their bullshit while buying almost nothing. I’m like, uhhh, can you leave the cashier alone so I can spend several hundred dollars here?
I was pretty upset that my grandma got me a Genesis instead of a Super Nintendo, but I played the hell out of Sonic 2, Sonic and Knuckles, and Mortal Kombat. No Super Mario World though. :(
