That's not what this is about

Why did the governor veto everything but this? It doesn't say her reasoning. She's vetoed a bunch of other anti LGBTQ laws, but let this one slip by?

The article says she did not comment, I'm super curious why this was allowed.

Edit: the OP has "big proponent of killing all cis men" in their bio, just a warning that this may be a bad faith troll account. They've banned me from other communities for participating in 196, which is apparently transphobic to them.

Is this about that time Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld) played the grim reaper in The Twilight Zone

Or is this a different reference about a different Geroge playing the grim reaper?

Why does a startup let people do this? Were people not able to do this before and now with a start up suddenly they can? How much does the start up get?

A reminder that the Confederate Constitution literally said black people would forever be property

Article I Section 9(4) No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed

You just keep that on hand?

While they physically kill the most birds by volume, the biggest decrease to bird populations is the ecological destruction of the environment. The pesticides we use actually make their egg shells non viable, but for some reason none of the studies count this figure in the "birds killed" category. It would double cats.

On top of that, we have deforestation wrecking their mating areas. People like to measure forestation in ground covered squared, while ignoring that the vast majority of migratory species only mate in specific areas.

Circling back to pesticides, the food supply has been wrecked. The food that is left avaliable is often filled with chemicals still that cause diseases, make their already fragile bones even weaker, cause feather malformation, blindness, organ failure, and cause outright sterilization.

But for some reason that's not listed in the "birds killed" figure.

Cats might kill a bunch of birds, but with a figure that's as broad as 1 to 4 billion, you need to question the validity of the argument and wonder why they leave so many other factors out of these figures.

It's the same kind of thing where they shame us for individual level consumption of pollutants and plastics, while corporations greatly outweigh consumers pollution. Both are a problem, yes cats do kill a shit load of birds, but this reddit level factoid keeps getting spread around and the reap threats aren't being educated on. You can't really say they're the "number one thing killing birds" unless you're using the figures that outright ignore other important information

I have a solid black cat that you can just do anything with. If he's laying there you can lay with him and he's happy or you can pick him up and carry him ti a whole other room and put him somewhere and as long as you give him a few pets he'll be happy.

Yes, it is. They don't have to vote that way, but free speech means I get to make a case for it.

That's literally democracy.

I actually managed to get mine done early this year, April 13th at 4 am.
