Extreme suffering should not be normalised
2025.01.21 03:20 Status_Guest_4074 Extreme suffering should not be normalised
Nature is cruel and causes extreme fear and pain for animals daily. Studies have found that there behavioural and physiological similarities in emotional expressions between humans and animals, indicating that it is extremely likely animals feel emotions. There have also been numerous studies, such as ones on domestic animals who have recently had surgery and are demonstrating behaviours reflective of pain which are alleviated after pain relief medications, strongly supporting the theory that animals can experience pain.
When an animal such as a rabbit is chased down and killed by wolves, it is considered part of nature, in other words “normal”, but when a human is chased down and killed by wolves, it is considered a tragedy and a horrible death. Both rabbit and human would have felt intense fear while being chased down, and after being caught, would have felt extreme pain from the wolves’ bites.
Deer are eaten alive by hyenas, wildebeest are pulled underwater by crocodiles and drowned, zebras’ necks are crushed by lions’ jaws, and many more animals suffer horrible deaths from carnivores.
Animals being eaten alive is a particularly terrible death due to the level of pain they experience and how long the experience lasts. Typically, hyenas will tear open their prey’s abdomen and begin pulling out intestines and other internal organs, and due to loss of vital organs and blood, the prey eventually dies. In medieval times, a torture method for humans was created which had similarities to an animal being eaten alive. This method was called “Rat Torture”, in which a person is restrained, often to a table or wall, with their abdomen exposed. A metal pot or cage containing hungry rats would then be placed on the person’s stomach and secured tightly, with the open end facing the stomach, and then the pot or cage would be gradually heated up from the outside using hot coals or fire. Driven by pain and discomfort, the rats would begin to chew and claw through the person’s flesh and internal organs in an attempt to escape. It is said that this torture method “inflicted profound physical and psychological damage”. When the pot or cage is placed on the person’s stomach, they would have experienced extreme fear and anxiety in anticipation for what’s to come, similar to how an injured prey would feel as they being swarmed by hyenas. The anticipation for what was to come as the pot or cage became increasingly hotter was so psychologically terrifying that prisoners, in a state of sheer desperation, would reveal everything they knew in hopes of avoiding further suffering. The pain a person would have experienced from rats chewing and clawing through their flesh and internal organs would have been excruciating, similar to how an animal would feel as hyenas tear open their abdomen and start pulling out their insides.
To further understand what the prey of lions experience when they are gripped by lions’ claws preventing them from escaping, imagine small sharp knives digging into your skin to the point where it is impossible to get away without causing agonising pain and extensive damage. To become more aware of what the prey of crocodiles experience as they are pulled underwater, simply fill up a sink and place your head in face down until you have no choice but to lift your head up and breathe. The prey of crocodiles go beyond this point. These are just a few of the many reasons why action must be taken.
In the future, I believe a world can be achieved in which animals do not have to suffer like they have for countless years. The source of their suffering stems from the existence of carnivores. Carnivores, whose diets consists of only meat, have no choice but to hunt down and kill animals to survive. A world with no carnivores is a world in which their prey do not have to experience intense fear and immense pain daily. To achieve this, all carnivores would have to be killed. Carnivores should not have to suffer painful deaths, so methods such as dart guns with darts that render them unconscious should be used, followed by a lethal injection giving them a painless death. As carnivores no longer exist, animal populations will grow significantly. To address the issue of animal overpopulation, a number of animals should be killed regularly to ensure population numbers are controlled. The method of death used for carnivores should also be used for these animals.
I am aware this seems extreme considering how may carnivores there are on Earth and the scale of what would need to happen, but what’s even more extreme is how much animals have suffered from carnivores in the past and how much more they are going to suffer if nothing is done.

2025.01.21 03:20 MacguffinDelorean Regional Difference Questions with save files
I played Persona 5 Royal ages ago when it was on Game Pass.
I live in the US to start. I decided after so long I would get back into it...I was in the mood after watching a friend play it for a couple of hours.
I wanted to continue from where I left off...only issue is when I bought it off of Amazon I got a pre-owned copy and it was weirdly still sealed but it's a European copy.
I have no clue how the regional differences work with game files and such. So I'm wondering if I started it up will it recognize my save file or will I have to start over?
If I have to start over I might just return it to Amazon under inaccurate description.

2025.01.21 03:20 K00ntastic can you help?
My name is John Angus but i go by Angus. I am 26 and live in wellington but from down south and I need a bit of help.
i had to leave my job as a baker of 6 years because my teeth had deteriorated to the point where they are too painful to work through, and too expensive for me to fix on my weekly wage (609 after tax and student loan).
following this, i was advised to seek help through winz who will only cover the cost of my dental in full if i was enrolled as a jobseeker. this jobseeker support gives me 354 per week, i am unsure if this is universal or just me. my rent includes a room and power which comes to $250 a week and after food, petrol and a bottle of coke im flat broke.
Heres the Kicker
I dropped my phone and now ot is unusable. this wouldn't be an issue except i am signed in under the "Phone only case manager" system. i have gone into the local center twice to try face to face for anything but they have all refused (apologetically, the staff are amazing at the center).
so here i am, unable to complete the steps to have dental done or contact any future jobs. my teeth are truly in so much pain the only thing i can do is cry.
the cheapest phone i can find is $30 at the Warehouse but i cant buy it without either being hungry, being stranded or being homeless.
If anyone helps me, i can promise to pay any extra foward however you decide it should be spent and i will provide recipts. please DM me and ill send a bank account.
also apologies for the terrible grammer, ive never been one for the written word,
Thank you for reading this and have a meke rest of the day
Angus

2025.01.21 03:20 partywivmarty 12V Caravan Set-Up
Looking for some advice on our battery set up in our caravan, hoping to change over to lithium without spending big.
We’ve currently got: - 2 x 120ah AGM batteries - AC/DC = Projecta IDC3500 - 12V 35A 7 stage (our model does not have a battery option for lithium) - DC/DC = Projecta IDC25-9-32V 25A 3 stage + 50A Anderson Plug (no option for lithium settings either) - 2 x 175w solar panels, showing 9V input each
We’re wanting to put 2 x 120ah LIFePO4’s, 50A DC to DC, 50A solar charger (so we can charge simultaneously) and 30/35A AC to DC, and 3 new solar panels.
Seems like most of it will be a direct swap over, anything we should consider or suggestions to make the change?
Cheers!

2025.01.21 03:20 Dry_Maybe_7265 Which generation of humor do Anil Ravipudi and other directors use?
 | I think most are in the boomer category. Anil Ravipudi literally writes “men are from mars women are from Venus” type jokes. I feel like he has some pretty outdated takes on women and marriage. Mathu Vadalara came closest to being more gen z. Bommarillu I think has some millennial sentiment. submitted by Dry_Maybe_7265 to tollywood [link] [comments] |
2025.01.21 03:20 gavergaver “danger force is bad” (no it isn’t)
Danger force was made when the actors were younger, they were trying to remake Henry danger, but with a bunch of kids who loved the show. But, since their kids in our time, they have to like, stay with today’s terms. And yes it seems crappy, but it feels like the kids made it, and I love that, because it feels like they were into it, they experience something not many people get to experience

2025.01.21 03:20 in_da_tr33z We are at a juncture
Following the inauguration today, and Elon's intentional and vigorous Nazi salutes, we need to talk about the juncture we're at - openly.
A 30-time convicted felon operates the United States of America. The Oligarchs who kissed the ring were at the front of the ceremony—ahead of all members of Congress—alongside Trump's family. The richest man in the world, who is a member of these miscreants, and is Trump's right-hand-man, gave two vigorous and intentional Nazi salutes in the same event. Trump has openly stated the harm he will bring to millions of people - that is you, if you are: an immigrant, a person of colour, a person who happens to not like the sex/gender that they think you should, or you're poor, or pregnant, or think there's actually something wrong with the climate.
We cannot let history repeat itself. We must be the break in the chain and actively fight against this.
Whenever you see headlines that are attempting to make this gesture anything other than a Nazi salute you must be actively vocal and call it out exactly as it is. Rollling Stone, Politico, and The New Republic are examples of major outlets that are already beginning this narrative.
They have sides to be on, and consider us not to have one. I am calling us together here to have one because I must, and I think that you likely feel that you must too. We can all stand in front of this together at the early stages, or wait and face a much harder future where that might not be possible.
So this is where we start. And we will have active discussions here: WhatIsOurPlan for what we must continue to do. And I hope to see you there.

2025.01.21 03:20 chin_wizard_ It's the little things.
Some peculiar or little things I really enjoyed about our beloved Veilguard.
I enjoy the opening chest animation that does the slow motion kick and grabs the loot. So much so, the ones that are booby trapped made me quite angry.
I love that you can pause the game dang near any time. As a parent that was so rad.
This next one is near and dear to my love for this game... I get so much enjoyment out of the dashing into and breaking barrels or other assortments of thingamajigs.I laughed so hard at doing this while a handsomely and quaint dwarves family ate dinner down in the Lyrium Caves, LOL. "Don't mind me, I won't be long."
I love it so much I could have tolerated a mini game to earn some skill points or plus stats whatever. And my apologies if this seems too kiddish in respect to the previous game's style or history/culture. I would understand that offense and offer you my pain about what they did the show, "Teen Titans"...
Cheers to everybody. Be easy on yourselves, be safe out there. I can smell the Blight.

2025.01.21 03:20 AtomsFromTheStars Stupid Razor Rash 🙄
Hello, Everyone!
What do you all to do avoid razor rash? I’m luckily not a very hairy person, but I get the worst razor rash in my bikini zone. Every. Single. Time. And as y’all know, it’s very uncomfortable and it isn’t cute either.
I don’t shave often, so should I just shave over the razor rash and make a habit out of always shaving the area? Are there creams or products that actually work? Tricks? Tips? Any advice is welcome!
I know laxer hair removal and waxing are more efficient choices, but neither of those options are within my budget.
Thank you all!
