I feel like I have to clarify that I'm not American before making comments so there's enough wiggle room for potential ignorance.

I think it probably is a tactic he is using so that when it's time for consequences, there's plenty of leeway given to trump to show that he wasn't acting biased, it's just that trump is a fucking moron that can't shut up, when the lunatics decide to shout about it.

Im looking forward to finding time to watch the rest of that link but those first ~8ish minutes are very interesting.

Are these wild birds captured for surveying or captive birds? I'm just imagining a wild owl experiencing its own version of alien abduction via can.

Edit: do you even use the can technique for banding on its own?

At first glance I actually thought you were cutting that owls foot off. Worth noting I know nothing about birds or owls.

I agree, I'm not really sure myself. I took it as reassuring him that they were focussing on arms but you could be right that he was tipping off his arms-dealing mate.

I just read the article and I missed that somehow. I thought she tipped off her mate who was selling weed and said that they were focussing on arms deals for now but be careful.

I'm not that young and optimistic tbh, it sounds like you've just been dealt a tough hand in life and hope you can get through it one day. Truly.

I'm 30 and do this easily enough when I drink.

It's definitely killing me though and the next 3 days are hell.

That's fair, I'm sorry that you've been through what you have, but you made a heavy generalisation that people don't change, my experience is that they can and do.

6am on a Saturday? They've done a really good job on cleaning it from the night before.

Strong disagree on people not changing, my partners brother was a heavy alcoholic at 30 and he's now 5 years sober and has children and hasn't touched a drop. He relapsed in his first week and nearly died.

People can change, they just have to want to. Of course this isn't applicable to all but generalising your situation to everyone isn't helpful to people in these positions.

On the flip side so show that I understand people not changing, her uncle has currently lost his family and maybe soon his job. Every time the kids are due to be with him he's completely shitfaced and the adult dropping them off refuses to give them to him in that condition and that still isn't enough for him to want to change. I bet he has seen his own children for over a year. He is constantly lying and we think he owes money to people because he's usually in a bit of a roughed up state. It's sad but until he wants it there's nothing anyone can do.

Her brother is still a testament to the way people can better themselves though.

Shit, you can buy a phone for £15 and I bet it's got snake on it
