A Russian man was teasing a fox somewhere on Sakhalin, offering his phone to the animal instead of food.
What happened next is hilarious and somehow very Russian!!!
😂😂😂
@SpreeUlaid@WingsScotland Tbh they aren't in charge of the budget - not a dept head or anything. Theyre on committees with others, people who are probably older (and you may think wiser).
Council decisions are made collectively. Its not like they can just decide spending unilaterally.
@SoNowUknow2@AndyRejoinEU If people don't want an 19 or 22 year old as a Councillor then they don't have to vote for them.
If it goes tips up they won't be voted in next time
100-years ago the British empire reached its peak. Stanley Baldwin's administration controlled 14m sq. miles, 1/4 of the world’s land mass, and governed 460m people, 1/5th of its population. Today, Rishi Sunak, Baldwin's successor, can't build a railway from London to Manchester
@mikew4EU@SimonCalder Then when it was pointed out it already exists they said they meant terminal 2.
400m of track to somewhere a five minute walk from the current terminus 🤣
Andy Burnham - "There's no way at all on God's earth, that if HS2 had started in Manchester & was going down the country, that the London leg would be scrapped... if HS2 ends in the Midlands... that would just be a permanent statement of the areas Whitehall cares about.."
@PhilosophyLines@mvaneerde@LHGH93186849 @TomboyLiberal @JamesEsses It's ludicrous. Let's make it really difficult to explain reproduction in our own species without using convoluted terminology.
It will be easier to literally explain the birds and the bees!
@mvaneerde@PhilosophyLines@LHGH93186849 @TomboyLiberal @JamesEsses Gender identity is unique to humans because it is just a belief that some humans have created.
There is no scientific evidence of GI, there is only the testimonials of the believers themselves and the missionaries going out to try and convince the rest of us.
@mvaneerde@PhilosophyLines@LHGH93186849 @TomboyLiberal @JamesEsses It would be better to use the same terminology for sex regardless of species and come up with some other way to describe gender identity.
Using an "unadorned" word to mean one thing in adult humans and to mean another thing in children and the rest of nature is bonkers mate.
@mvaneerde@PhilosophyLines@LHGH93186849 @TomboyLiberal @JamesEsses This is at odds with most who believe in Gender Identity. If they accept sex and gender as different concepts they accept male/female to refer to a person's sex and man/woman to refer to gender.
@mvaneerde@PhilosophyLines@LHGH93186849 @TomboyLiberal @JamesEsses Does the fact gender identity cannot be observed in animals not tell you that maybe it is a belief?
Many humans don't seem convinced they have a GI. Is it because they just dont have one - just like the animals?
@mvaneerde@PhilosophyLines@LHGH93186849 @TomboyLiberal @JamesEsses Instead of convoluted language like "that woman is a female person with a male assigned sex" you can just say there are male-women, or even that you believe there are females of the male sex.
And if you believe in female-males, you also believe a mother can impregnate a father?
@mvaneerde@PhilosophyLines@LHGH93186849 @TomboyLiberal @JamesEsses The word man come about to describe a male human at a time when the concept of gender identity didn't exist.
It's a word like ram, bull, mare, cockerel or sow. It describes an animal & its sex.
GI is a belief - like God, karma, ghosts & fairies.
That's why no animals have a GI
