    The common peacock, also called Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus), seen in the pic above, is not endangered. Least concern in fact.

    The Green peafowl (pavo muticus) is endangered, but I highly doubt the Florida man had/ate that species. Much harder to acquire—I’ve never even seen it at a zoo.





  • “Small communities of like minded individuals form and cooperate to solve food, safety, water and shelter concerns” - you literally described government. At its core, that is exactly what a government is.

    Do “anarchists” hear themselves? I don’t know if OP is an anarchist, but this is why I don’t take them seriously. Their ‘ideal society’ always leads back to what is—in its most fundamental form—a government.

    The books/movies make quite clear that Bella has a special power which makes her immune to Edward’s telepathy. It was a huge plot point of the second book.

    To imply that she was like somehow cognitively disabled is both wrong and really weird…






  • Nope—that’s how all language work. Like go study Japanese and see how many words they “stole” from English 🤣

    And linguistic purism is generally associated with nationalism. See the GOP’s recent English-only policies as an example. No bueno.

    Languages mixing and ‘stealing’ from each other is a good thing. One human race. ✌️
