I can’t find any mention of the specific species of peafowl the man had. My personal guess is that it’s just a stock image of a peacock. None of the articles below mention the species, but one does have the same mugshot.

Quoting the AP article,
The 61-year-old man from Hudson, Florida, was arrested last week on a third-degree felony charge of aggravated animal cruelty, according to an affidavit from the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
The man told investigators that he had killed the two peacocks because his neighbor kept feeding them. He had written the neighbor a letter telling her that he would continue to kill his pet peacocks if she kept feeding them “to prove a point,” according to the affidavit, which didn’t say how many peacocks he kept.
The man “admitted to killing the bird by cutting the bird’s neck out of spite, then bleeding it out, and then later eating the bird after cooking it on a frying pan,” the affidavit said.
So it doesn’t seem so simple as him merely getting arrested for deciding to eat one of his peafowl.
Killing an endangered animal and cruelty to animals are separate statutes. So I think it’s safe to safe it’s not an endangered peafowl.

- www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=D… “level four violations” are also third degree felonies.
I don’t care enough to pull the man’s actual court records and see if he was also charged with Intentional killing or wounding of any species designated as endangered, threatened, or of special concern.

Might be meant to explain that folks say “American” to mean people from the United States more often than the American continents. Especially since it’s for teaching people a different language.

Unless I’m carrying something, holding a door open for me usually just messes up my rhythm and makes me more uncomfortable from the sudden need to acknowledge a favor rather than just spacing out and walking.

So go ahead, be a single grumpy bitch, because some men try to hit on you.
I dream that a woman would hit on me.
Probably could improve your chances by not using sexist language like bitch.

I disagree, but I could see it being difficult for some folks with thumb problems.
I had this cool PS2 controller that let you swap the positions of the d pad, analog sticks, and buttons. So you could make it like the Xbox layout, left analog on top left and dpad on bottom left. It’d be nice if more stuff like that was a thing. Though I think most consoles have pretty good accessibility settings now and let you do stuff like that (though not as dramatic as moving hardware of course). It could even adjust the tension in the sticks by twisting em.

- Comment on This is real. Big controversy regarding cheating in Olympic events because of the size of suit worn by jumpers 2 weeks ago:
I think all Olympic level sports are a lot about “finding ways to cheat the rules then it is about athleticism” because it’s the highest level of competition. Myself, I am not athletic. If I wanted to become a runner I’d get better by running more. But the best of the best are already training a ton. So to get advantages and milk those few teeny tiny advancements they have to turn to things like the suits. Remember those swim suits that they used to use? I think they’re banned now but they gave an advantage and I think they were single use too, which is crazy.

This is gonna make me want some. When I was a child and my parents would take me to my grandparents to visit my parents would always buy some on the way to Dahlonega.
I saw at least one comment saying they’ve never heard of them. I heavily associate them with the rural Southeast US and/or Appalachia. As suburban sprawl crept our further I saw them less. The area I’m in now I don’t ever really see them.
They’re very much one of those snacks where you can buy them from the store and convenience stores, but it just isn’t the same. Sometimes restaurants have them and they’re pretty good, but it just doesn’t feel the same.

Yeah a lot of people find stress to be a blocker for arousal. I imagine gender dysphoria very stressful. My first thought when reading that was how do they account for that?

The AI push right now is crazy. Where I’m working all teams have to show how much they’re using AI and where. Rather than being measured on their success they’re being measured on how they’re doing it.
