I remember being confused about how I was supposed to distinguish between my own thoughts and god trying to tell me something 🙃
The replacement rate isn't static. It depends on both how many people exist and how many people are having babies and how many babies they're having. If the total number of babies per year stays constant, then whether it's below or above the replacement rate depends on the size of the population. So for a hyper simplified example, if 100 babies are born per yer, that's below replacement for a population of 110, but above replacement for a population of 90, but overall the population size will trend towards 100. Obviously real life is way more complicated, but even if the birth rate is low now, it's far more likely we're just moving towards a different population size, not a population of zero

I know their lives are cut way short, but do you happen to have a source on this?
I wasn't demanding they educate me, I was curious if they had a source to back up their claim.
The ones being negative are the zoos keeping animals captive for entertainment. The good of conservation and rehabilitation work doesn't justify that
Edit: I educated myself, turns out my hunch was right and the point I was trying to make stands. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7380022/ "The 40 species of animals bred for release by zoos represented only 14% of all animal species for which conservation translocations were published and only 25% of all animal species that were bred for releases occurring in North America"
We don't even need zoos to do the conservation work.
Here's a more general overview https://sentientmedia.org/pros-and-cons-of-zoos/
You're welcome for the education 😊
I commented a similar sentiment on another thread on proton wallet and got mostly upvotes, people just get wacky with the votes lol https://slrpnk.net/comment/10012391
Depends on the person, why they're using it, how often they use it, whether they're addicted to it or not etc. Probably more acceptable within AA than NA, but idk.
Idk I've had pretty good experiences buying used ones (or new-in-box but cheaper on swappa) and using grapheneos
Do you happen to have any stats on the percentage of animals in zoos where the goal is to release them into the wild, and maybe the percentage of ones too injured to ever be able to release?
Some people need to hear reality without the sugar coating

Don't draw wallpaper behind/under bar in sway?
I have waybar set to be on the right side of my screen, but the wallpaper goes "under" it, such that if I have two windows open, the center of the wallpaper isn't in the center of the gaps between the windows, if that makes sense.
I'd like it so that the center of the wallpaper is in the center of the gaps between two windows. Or in other words, so that the wallpaper goes from the left edge of the screen to the left edge of the bar, so the bar just has a static color bg.
Does anyone know how to do that?

Device to scare fish away?
Is there anything you can bring kayaking, swimming, or really anywhere people are fishing that will scare the fish away from the fishers? Ideally something not very obvious, and for kayaking something you can easily turn on near fishers and off when you're not near them?

Why do christian apologists say the name of the person they're talking to so often? (crosspost from asklemmy)
I’m sure there are other groups that do it too, but I’ve noticed it most often from christian apologists, probably in part case I like listening to debates/discussions with them from atheist youtubers, but I’ve also noticed it talking to christians myself. It always feels super weird to me, but that...

It always feels super weird to me, but that's also coming from someone who feels weird with eye contact and saying other peoples names, so maybe it's just me. Has anybody else noticed it, or are there other people you've noticed that do that? Does it seem weird to you?
Vegan gym shirts?
Anybody know any good vegan themed gym shirts? I'm thinking something similar to dom mazzetis bro science shirts (yeah he's a shitty person but his shirts can be pretty creative), but obviously centered around lifting as a vegan. And sustainably and ethically sourced. Bonus if they have tall sizes
