Technically, they help where there isn’t year round flow by daming it and keeping it there longer…

Like, this is a real thing with real studies.

Surface level might only look like a small area, but that water seeps into the ground for much further.

Which helps vegation, and that causes more water to be retained, being back new creeks and rivers that more beavers than dam.

Like bro, the first beavers in 75 years were released last year in NorCal…

Give em a minute

If any GenZ want to know why I do uncool things even though you’ve attempted to educate me:

Unless you’re talking about your own kids, why are so many kids trying to “educate you”?

99% of the time with this shit no one’s heard of it because it’s not happening.

Not even an hour and almost a million views…

The video isn’t great, but whatever it was gonna be was gonna be huge.

Big fan of how he used the sound from the concert for some lines. Just thousands of people:

A minooooooooooooorrrrrrrrr

Apparently this place, where they released them less than a year ago for the first time in 75 years

Have we tried beavers yet?

They clear out dead trees and cut them down before they can burn.

Then soak that shit in water by building a dam, which causes water to retain in the ground that also helps prevent fires from spreading.

Even if it doesn’t work (it should work) we deployed the beavers by parachute last time. And that’s be pretty cool to see.

Lincoln outlawed slavery during the Civil War to stop Britain and France getting involved on the side of the CSA.

I think it was more to show Europe that if the North won (everyone knew they would) that the South wouldn’t be able to continue export, this dissuading them from supporting the South during the war.

Like obviously the South didn’t immediately stop using slaves. But it was to make foreign investors hesitant from putting money into the South and buying up plantations. Which would have been used to fund the South’s army

So I guess a pre-emptive economic sanction for political reasons?

I dunno, I’m going off of memory here and it’s been a minute

She also questioned why we would let Palestine have an election without first determining who the winner would be…

Regarding the election, in which Hamas beat Fatah by 74 to 45 seats, Clinton said “I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake. And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”

Hillary is/was a terrible candidate and person.

But she’s always claimed the only reason anyone wouldn’t like her is because of conservative propaganda.

She did a lot to get us to the current point where anything except 100% loyalty to the party leads to someone being accused of being a Republican.

Same road republicans went down.

And our standards for Dem candidates has nosedived just like Republicans did. They just have a head start

People forget in the first civil war Lincoln went out of his way immediately after his election to promise he wouldn’t try to outlaw slavery because he felt it would prevent civil war.

It didn’t. Because the South wanted to force northern states to return escaped slaves.

So he outlawed slavery during the war as an economic sanction.

Never trust fascist when they say “unless you do _____ then it’s civil war”.

They’ll keep saying it till it doesn’t work, then they’ll start a civil war anyways

The only thing I could think of reading OPs post

Oh no! My meow meow beans…

The only time I’ve agreed with trolling was when that game about making games leaked a pirate version of their game, where no matter what you did after a couple days in-game pirates would pirate all your games and your studio would go bankrupt.

They gave pirates just enough for a demo, while making a point.

But in 2000, the court enjoyed more robust legitimacy among the public than it does today. As a consequence, Florida officials ceased recounting disputed ballots. Vice President Al Gore conceded the election to Texas Gov. George W. Bush, specifically accepting the Supreme Court’s pivotal ruling.

No Democratic senator challenged the validity of Florida’s disputed Electoral College votes for Bush. Congress certified the Electoral College’s vote, and Bush was inaugurated.

Al Gore is the perfect example of why we can’t ig ore the importance of charisma in a candidate.

Dude would have been a great president, and having him at the helm instead of Bush would have drastically change global politics to this very day.

But he was a wet blanket, didn’t have the balls to challenge it, and too progressive for the DNC to defend.

People keep ignoring that presidential elections are basically just statewide popularity contests. At the end of the day nothing matters but the voters opinions.

Yeah, but their battle passes never expire, and you don’t have to spend real money to get one.

They never expected it to go viral, they budget to go at least a year of story driven campaign and they probably made enough to pay for that times 10 already.

They don’t need to nickel and dime the user base, if anything they can sell less premium shit.

So?

I hate how every game want to compete for current playtime.

I got way more than money’s worth out of this game, but I haven’t played in over a month. I hope that when I go back to it, there’s still a playerbase.

But like, the developers planned for at best to get 10% of what they did…

If they dropped that extra 90%, I don’t see why that should spell the end of the game. It’s the playerbase the game was designed for.

There’s just this weird “first or worst” mentality with a lot of studios. I hope this game is just given the room to stretch it legs over a decade or so. Something people might not always keep installed on their console, but still download once or twice a year to get some games in.

Games like that can be a success. Just because a lot of people burnt out doesn’t mean they’ll never play again.

It’s just games like that don’t maximize investor returns. They want to churn out hits that people play exclusively for 3 months then drop, only to buy the new one next year.

Fucking hell…

Everyone should read this article.

Like maybe it just hits close to home, but I feel like regardless of the subject matter this is just some of the best journalism I’ve read in a long time.

That weird Jupiter movie where all the heroes were old and past their prime, but refusing to hand off to the next generation till they were dead?

I dunno, I watched it once and didn’t pay much attention.

TLDR:

The dystopian hellscape set in the future isn’t as dystopian as current reality…

In his first presidential primary in 1988, Biden was the front runner despite his youth because he was wildly regarded as one of the best public speakers in the country and he was (at the time) charismatic.

Then he started yelling at reporters about how high his IQ was after they found out he plagiarized speeches plagiarized work in law school, and lied about his grades and class standing.

Because he got over his childhood stutter. In childhood.

What’s happening now isn’t a stutter. It’s 100% normal for an 82 year old.

That doesn’t mean an 82 year old is fit to be president, just that Biden acts how an 82 year old is expected to act. Because he’s 82 years old.

And it was also designed so that States would have most of the power, not the Federal government.

Yeah, but then we changed it because of the civil war…

The system was designed for the president to be a mostly performative figurehead. Then we gave the president real power, but left determination like the president didn’t matter.

So…

You don’t think it’s possible the DNC or Biden does the right thing to maximize our chances of beating trump?

The primary isn’t a real election. The DNC can just nominate someone else, they’ve been very open about it

And Biden can obviously just step aside.

Do you think they don’t care if trump wins? Or that they’d just rather that happen then a Dem candidate Dem voters want winning?
