Hmm, I don’t think that’s true either. You as well, stranger.
Just a shiny male toy…

Quite a long, pedantic response.
I didn’t in fact read your other links, nice to see you’re unable to imagine others having lives and limited time. At no point did I say you ate meat, but that you are using similar tactics.
Curious, how much writing you do when all I ask is whether you think animals experience curiosity, and how much of it doesn’t have anything to do with that question.
Rolling back through your overly elaborate discussions here, you’ll note that I never said humans and animals had the same emotions, nor to the same level we as a species do. But I do say what they have is analogous, and that the line between anthropomorphism and observation can itself be a fuzzy concept.
Do you understand that, or will you resort to ad hominem again?
Unfortunately I’ve got to disagree with you from the outset, they do in fact express emotions, having witnessed one of my pets feel less inclined to partake in activities he very much normally enjoyed when his compatriot of a different species eventually passed away due to age. That is one clear example I’ve observed on my own, several times in a couple of different species over the years (unfortunately).
It’s a bit pedantic, in truth, to state that these animals don’t feel human emotions. Do all of us experience ennui for that matter? Envy, to the same level as one another? Which leads to a paradox of how one defines a conscious, human mind at all, if it were indeed based only on what emotions are present when presented with a similar stimulus.
Further, I’m noticing that you’re focused on dancing around “are they human”, not “are they conscious”, a more interesting & insightful question. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed this tactic among people who don’t want to feel bad about eating other conscious beings. If you eat other passengers on this ship called earth, so be it, but avoid the cowardice that comes with assigning them lower value in a pseudo-intellectual manner.
Do you think animals are capable of being curious, even when there’s no impetus for them to be? I certainly do.
How do you know?
My pets express themselves pretty clearly, despite having much more limited ability to communicate across species lines.
I feel reasonably confident in stating that I believe animals are conscious, just to varying depths.
We all know they do. It just makes compartmentalizing other… activities easier for some people.
… None of us were confused by the saying. You obviously are confused about where you stand cognitively, in comparison.
Yep, and a good way to make acquaintances in class if you let everyone know you can be the PDF kid. 🤓
Pretty great actually, the drivers are kind of annoying but whatevs. I like the nightlife and all the natural beauty, turns out you can have both in the city.
Unknown, I don’t want to run Google apps more than I have to. I only run photos and keyboard, both with network access completely blocked by the built-in firewall.
Late one night, zooming home on my motorcycle on a toll road in California after working late on the job, sun had fully set.
There was a 15ft ladder diagonal on the road across one and a half lanes. I was in the half lane it wasn’t, simply zoomed past. I later called CHP about it, guess it got taken care of, but i doubt I was fast enough to prevent an accident.
I never forget that when it’s dark and the urge to crank it kicks in.
CalyxOS just works, is completely deGoogled and has better battery life because less shit is running by itself in the background. If you need any Google apps, you can install them voluntarily via the Aurora store (a version of the play store that strips serial numbers etc from communications with Google’s play store servers).
All my banking apps and work apps function, though I couldn’t get Pokemon go to work.
The article says the city built a water processing plant to help remove stuff including PCBs from the river flow in 2014, before the suit started in 2016.
It’s not enough, but let’s consider the $160 million as repaying the city for that initial capital expenditure.
The ones I met at my current job are both laid back, the journey(wo)man is a kind older church-going lady who likes pink work gloves while working on 3ph 480 lines, the apprentice is my age and speaks softly but has a lot of excellent tattoos and probably dirt bikes.
So iunno. Other than being good and reliable electricians, they may be crazy in different ways, but I like em both.
I’ve met a few, and they were/are damned good electricians. Quality was A1, as a former electrician.
Thanks for this, new to the area and this helps with finding events (and actually getting there)
A poor joke, at best. But that’s on brand for you, eh?
Oh snap, just moved up here. This is awesome!
Same same, cdot is nice and clear
I so love the diversity of life here on this planet, it is truly magnificent.
I’d like to add on, just for shits and giggles you ought to change brake lines regardless of whether they seem ok.
