It’s a mountain lion. They are native to California. I have a female mountain lion who lives in my area and feeds on the deer population. Every once in a while, we’ll see her on game cameras, sometimes with a cub.

It’s weird that this one is in town and I’m sure it doesn’t want to be. I hope they can relocate it without it needing to be euthanized.

Back East we’d call that rabies

Nah, this is common. Even I’ve seen mountain lion paw prints on the side walk outside my place before. Florida has gators, we have mountain lions

There was even a celebrity mountain lion in LA that’s known for killing zoo animals but the public refused to let the thing be killed until it was hit by a car

News was saying the protections on mountian islands are so strong they would possibly let an interfering human die before they would shoot the lion



Its safe, knocked out, wrapped up in a poncho in the back of a ford ranger.

Now that Trump Bucks are back on the table what's the funniest beneficial thing Trump is gonna do that liberals will piss and moan about?

I predict when the black lady astronaught first steps foot on Mars the liberals will complain that she's not gay.

He will increase their life expectancy by 2 years and they will spend 2.5 years complaining that he didn't do it consensually.

President Trump is expected to sign an EO restoring us to the Star Trek: Enterprise timeline.

There should probably be a civilian space agency separate from the military for science and exploration. Maybe with private space companies that is outdated thinking.

Yeah, at this point, between SpaceX and the space force, you have to wonder how much of a niche is left and what the inefficiencies are.

I think a space force that has consumed NASA can still broadcast ISS experiments and fulfill that kind of role where we’re interacting with other governments. Might even help with recruitment, and once you take your ASVAB, everyone has a shot to give you the pitch even if you aren’t a space force level big brain.

It would be interesting to have the Space Force or Air Force regulate civilian air traffic. I'd almost rather have the military secure our airports than the faggot TSA. One less department to pay for and helps secure our borders through air travel.

You could also rotate troops through that assignment so nobody gets too comfortable and has the time to develop crime infrastructure. I feel like prison guards ought to rotate also

Early pioneers bullied the shit out of every big cat in North America. Outside of defending their cubs, mountain lions don't want to be within a mile of any human.

(Yes I know that's a panther, not a mountain lion.)

 

[StudMccool]

you might by cool, son, but you will never be riding in the back of a pickup, down the highway, with a police escort with a gosh dang mountain lion at your feet cool.

Prison guards are usually low paid people who live in the surrounding county/state and it's not viewed as a particularly desireable job. There are probably not enough to rotate regularly unless either pay is raised or standards are lowered.

Ok I got to call out the populist Trump types here and ask some questions.

1: You say that Elon's comment about giving every American 5000 dollars would not cause inflation and would not be a big deal, but republicans kept saying how the war in Ukraine was costing America to much money even though giving every American 5000 would cost more then America has spent on Ukraine the entire war.

2: How does America giving up on Ukraine benefit America ? ?Ukraine talked about a 500 billion dollar mineral deal meanwhile giving up would on America nothing and make all the previous money spent a waste.

3: Be honest why do you hate European countries so much ? The majority of Americans are European and even if you are not as an American Europe is your spiritual motherland. If you want to be able to keep up with China at a time when China is making inroads with other countries for deals you can't alienate your base, if you want to support Israel (I don't know why you would but the majority of Trump voters do) then you shouldn't alienate Europe t a time when more and more are getting stick of Israel and recognizing Palestinian state hood.

Lookit, faggot. The free mustache rides from Uncle Simp are OVER. It's cash, grass or ass time my little nigger

Yeah cause in yet another blow to my childhood, it’s now illegal for regular people to ride in the bed of a truck

 

[marvlouslie]

I mean, I literally miss being eligible for food stamps by one fucking dollar per hour, so if I’m paying taxes and shit to fund people who make one fucking dollar an hour less than me, yeah, I’d ask that they at least go to the supermarket and get a reasonable value with my money instead of blowing it on toxic shit

No one will be able to afford anything until we get a lot of pricing under control. Where I live, a lot of meat is still insanely expensive. If we could make things more affordable, discussions about what should / shouldn't be spent on would probably take place. I want them to get inflation under control first. I'm not completely opposed to the discussion, but let's do one thing at a time, eh?

This ancient fed nigger wants more time to *carefully* go through federal spending...

You had DECADES and did nothing. Cope and seethe feds

EDIT: NOVA classification needs to be fixed. If I remember right it classified fucking ground beef as an ultraprocessed food. fuck off with that retarded bullshit.

Ground beef with additives would be NOVA 4, Just ground beef with nothing would be NOVA 3.

 

[The Mighty Banth]

The first peoples in north America were also globally among the last to develop agriculture and didn't have access to beasts of burden the same way the old world did
South Americans had llamas at least, but even so most everything to do with labor in the new world revolved entirely around human labor. Another big reason for their lack of development is the continent being isolated from the rest of the world, meaning much like sub-Saharan Africa ideas and technologies couldn't spread through trade or contact with other cultures.

Really for all talk of having a baller 'spawn point'

I know there's a lot of talk about wanting to ban junk food and soda from being able to be purchased on EBT. The problem with regulating what the peasant class can and can't do is that when does it stop? First they'll say you can't buy shit with EBT. Then they'll start regulating what you can and can't use Social Security funds for.

Look. I get the idea of wanting to make food and other shit healthy again, but shotgunning and going all militant about it is a good way to get the people (who were initially on your side) pissed off all over again. In the end, no one will do shit. You need to give people a choice. You can give them the information, it's up to them exercising their own free will over it. You can't just force someone into a new way of living and expect it to go well. See what happened with Prohibition?

They can still have cookies and other treats, they will just have to make them with the ingredients they can buy.

Oof, the pay IS kinda shit.

This is an area where investment would yield dividends. Imagine if prisoners actually had to detox and prison wasn’t cool for them.

Fuck, imagine if we just went back to stigmatizing people who did time in prison instead of acting like it’s cool

 

[George Lucas]

With all these government closures there are going to be a lot of people out of work. That means deflation. Trump may be considering sending checks to people to curb that.

Very minor, not really relevant to anything but a little funny. Baki - Japanese manga - released a new chapter featuring Trump and Musk. It's kind of a running gag to have Yujiro threaten the president and have said president kiss his ring, since he is the strongest man in the world. The author did the same for Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden. Potentially Islamic content within.

Mountain lions and panthers are the same animal.

life taught me the feds were incompetent, covid taught me they were malicious. fire as many of them as possible. gut every agency. no mercy

 

[UnidentifiedFlyingOrchid]

Honestly, I'm more tolerant of soda being prevented from being purchased on EBT, but "JUNK FOOD" is such a subjective term that could apply to literally anything. After all, someone could consider Bologna as "junk food".

I mean, I literally miss being eligible for food stamps by one fucking dollar per hour, so if I’m paying taxes and shit to fund people who make one fucking dollar an hour less than me, yeah, I’d ask that they at least go to the supermarket and get a reasonable value with my money instead of blowing it on toxic shit

The welfare system in the US is retarded, like many of the systems in the US government.

"Welfare Cliffs" are some of the most obvious retardation. Example:


Earning more money from a wage shouldn't result in having less money.

After DOGE is done auditing, there should be work done optimizing the incentive structures of government programs. The Democrats shouldn't be allowed to amass an army of welfare slaves. But, corporations shouldn't control people's lives either.

We need Behavioral Scientists/Psychologists to stop developing video game "Skinner boxes" and instead help motivate productive citizens. I know you could get niggers to "side-hussle" up a storm if given the right "rat maze" to hussle in.

But, there is always that big lurking problem of psychopaths building a parasitic cabal. Dealing with that is like trying to cure societal cancer.

One thing I know. Remaining positive and optimistic (not delusional) really does improve the odds of success. It was hard to imagine the second Trump administration would look like how it current is, but here we are.
