Falconry in the US exists as an exclusion from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Both of these laws make it illegal to disrupt or possess native birds or their parts. Falconers successfully petitioned the government to let them take wild raptors from the wild as long as falconers themselves regulate the participants. If the falconers are not being respectful of the birds it would be incredibly easy to strip their privileges.

In the same sense RC flying is a privilege from the FAA after too many people flew drones into airports and HAM is a privilege from the FCC to keep people from jacking up the airwaves.

I think those only need 1 test to play with them, and that's because they are regulated by the government. They want people to follow the rules because if they don't it can come down on all of them.

The biggest one of these that I know of is falconry which requires 1 falconry test, 1 hunt test, 1 inspection, and finding a two year sponsor. Falconry is specifically set up to gatekeep as to protect the sport in the USA.

And DOTA2 has the worst matchmaking I've ever seen in casual too. My third game I was placed with the sweatiest sweats and it completely turned me off the game.

I abused the shit out of my loppers and cracked the blade. They sent me a new blade without much fuss.

Ah, trained off that body builder forum post about days of the week I see.

I imagine most of the actual professionals have left or been kicked out at this point.

I sometimes scoop tuna out of the can with saltines. Pretty good 0 effort snack.

We upgraded our network and had old as shit devices that now need a dumb switch hooked into our $80k or whatever cisco switches because they can't do 10Mb lol

This is going to break some conservatives who have made camouflage part of their identity. Can't wait.

Never forget 7/11 hulk slushie

Reddit has over 1,000,000,000 active users per month. Lemmy has about 50,000. The API fiasco was a big deal for lemmy, but it was not a big deal for reddit. Lemmy is a rounding error to them.

I would also bet that a lot of lemmy users still visit reddit for their niche communities. I know I do, even though I host a server for my own niche hobby, but I'm the only one who's ever posted anything to it.

Hmmm yes, the 10 commandments are so relevant to laws in the US. Let's go through them.

I am the LORD your God; you shall not have strange gods before me.

• explicitly allowed freedom of religion

You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.

• explicitly allowed freedom of speech

Remember to keep holy the LORD’s Day.

• nope

Honor your father and mother.

• don't have to, in fact the state will remove children from parents without honoring their wishes

You shall not kill.

• not really ground breaking stuff

You shall not commit adultery.

• shitty but not illegal

You shall not steal.

• wow, amazing

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

• good rule but seems like "don't lie maliciously" covers more.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.

• seems appropriate to teach to elementary kids

You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.

• coveting our neighbors goods is like 50% of the US economy. And also the basis of manifest destiny.

Might as well have made "Treat others the way you want to be treated" state mandated curriculum, that's more relevant than the 10 commandments.

What is HK?

At least he didn't have boneitis.

It was in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, or in the series at least. His scenario was two warring planets sending out armadas to fight each other, but while they were on their way faster ships were created and sent so when they got there the battle was already over.

I think they already tried that route a while ago. Dustin on Smarter Every Day did several videos about the Navy and I think Coast Guard. Idk who mr Linecrosser is but I don't think the military would ever approve normal YouTube content that is aimed at children. Like there's not going to be a "Last one to survive Mr. Beasts mine field wins 1 million dollars!!!" video sponsored by the Army.

You can do a similar thing if you see a bird with a wing tag. You get a little certificate but no little bird pin thing sadly.
