Here’s a study from Oklahoma State University specifically talking about the effects of mainland cats in contrast to island cats:

“Our review shows overwhelming evidence that, beyond causing island extinctions, where there were no native predators, and massive numbers of mainland wildlife deaths, cats can exert multiple types of harmful impacts on mainland wildlife species that are reflected at the population level,”

It’s so much simpler than that—it can be created now, so it will be. They will use narrative twists to post it on the clearnet, just like they do with anime (she’s really a 1000 year old vampire, etc.). Creating laws to allow it are simply setting the rules of the phenomenon that is already going to be happening.

The only question is whether or not politicians will stop mud slinging long enough to have an adult conversation, or will we just shove everything into the more obscure parts of the internet and let it police itself.

Never underestimate the mechanical eyes.

True, but that article says that over 350 of their prey species are at risk species, and that several of those are suspected to already be extinct.

I love cats—I think most people should have them—just be responsible with your furry murderers.

It does. Travel to a 3rd world country and look at the difference. Dogs and cats everywhere due to no cultural expectation to keep them indoors or neuter them.

Here is an article better clarifying the effect of our cute little killing machines:

It pulls a synonym—what’s the big deal?

Now WE’RE the ones who say sorry all the time.

What are you hiding? /s

I think you could do that, but you will be further bottlenecking your bandwidth, and you will be adding an extra layer of complexity that could lead to unforeseen issues down the road.

Personally, I would just enable the kill switch, or run the VPN client side, but not double it up with 2 VPN’s.

You are the ignorant one, unfortunately. It is a well known fact that GameStop cashiers just want to watch the world burn, and that is exactly what they did to that family Christmas.

They did the little man dirty for the lulz.
