I looked into this and the complete truth is:
No films were shown in cinema during the time of lce Age’s release, as cinemas were banned as a whole between 1983 and 2018. - Comment on 1 week ago:

I have news for you:
3D printing is very common in the aviation industry by now.
They don’t exactly use TPU and Bambulab printers, though… ;-) - Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 1 week ago:

lt depends on which side of the pond you are on.
Duracell lost its trademark rights in the US and Energizer grapped the opportunity to majorly troll them:When the Duracell Bunny debuted in North America in 1973, it was slated to be just a one-shot character in the “Drumming Bunny” advertisement. Duracell purportedly trademarked their bunny, but by 1988, that trademark had lapsed.[4] Sensing an opportunity, Duracell’s North American rival Energizer created a parody of the “Drumming Bunny” in 1988. Energizer’s parody ad began much as Duracell’s original 1973 ad did, except that midway through the discussion of which drumming rabbit would last longest, it was interrupted by the Energizer Bunny, a different pink rabbit wearing sunglasses, flip-flops, and beating a bass drum.[5] Energizer created a multi-year campaign around the Energizer Bunny.

Thanks for the detailed description how it is handled in your area, it’s actually interesting.
Land protection in the US seems to be a bit more convoluted than here in Germany.
And regulations surprisingly seem to be a bit more relaxed for the public (except for special protection zones, which are typically of limited size). - Comment on Snitches get switches 2 weeks ago:
That definition fits what the Al told me when I asked it about the topic before.
Seems to be similar to what many farmers here in the EU are doing: reserving some of their land for enviromental purposes in exchange for subsidies. - Comment on energizing 2 weeks ago:
You should also wear the accompanying pink rabbit costume to be on the safe side!
- Comment on Snitches get switches 2 weeks ago:
Same here.
Meme is imho somewhat crappy and certainly to un-scientific to be under “science memes”. - Comment on Snitches get switches 2 weeks ago:
randos shouldn’t (ordinarily) be messing with the plants
But the meme doesn’t talk about randos.
It specifically mentions the meme creator seeing someone “cleaning invasives”, implying that all people involved have some level of competence and know what’s going and that there isn’t any reason to pretend to be a blind pirate.
- Comment on Snitches get switches 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I guessed that much myself by now.
So there is no deeper meaning but the meme is just crappily ill-defined and because of this actually doesn’t make sense.
- Comment on Snitches get switches 2 weeks ago:
I did, even did some additional research trying to clear up ambiguous terms (what’s a “conversation area”?) and looked up rules in another country (US) that was referenced by a less confused person.
Meme still doesn’t make sense.
Should even be the complete opposite.
If you recognize it, report invasive species!If there are hidden context clues I missed, please point them out to me, so that I will learn why I am the moron and not some of the others here that post stuff that just don’t make sense given the facts.
Is the original post perhaps satire?
- Comment on Snitches get switches 2 weeks ago:
You are probably confusing it with “reservation”.
- Comment on Snitches get switches 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t see it.
Why?
- Comment on Snitches get switches 2 weeks ago:
But in that case, pretending to be a blind prirate makes even less sense!
From the National Park Service website:
Report invasive species. Locating invasive species just as they are beginning to invade an area and treating new infestations quickly is a management approach called Early Detection Rapid Response (EDRR). In a national park, let a ranger know when you spot invasive species. They will want to know the location (GPS coordinates if possible), the name of the invasive species, when you saw it, and photos of the species.
Thoroughly note it and report that stuff!

ls “conservation land” something special, then?
English Wikipedia seems not to know it, and dictionary translated it to “Landschaftsschutzgebiet” in my language, which is like the most unprotective “protection” category there is. - Comment on Snitches get switches 2 weeks ago:
OK…
But would it be a problem if I did?Or are there areas to protect invasive species? I don’t think that’s a thing?
So, still don’t get it.
- Comment on Snitches get switches 2 weeks ago:
Why would you become a blind pirate?
I don’t get it.
- Comment on Should leftists who are anti-authoritarian use the term "comrade"? 2 weeks ago:
Never thought about that, probably because my language has a special word, that is different from “Kamerad” (comrade):
“Genosse”.
Much better, no military and hierarchical connotations.
I wonder if there exists an English equivalent…?
Dictionary gives me compeer, consorter or confrère as possible translations.

Home Bargains is British, isn’t it?
So maybe region-dependent custom.
Here in Germany I would judge it to be equally uncommon both in cities and the more rural areas. - Comment on I support this 1 month ago:
That’s one of the exceptions I was thinking about. Looking at someone and deciding to do something beneficial specifically for that person.
- Comment on I support this 1 month ago:
Which is totally ok!
Although I would either be slighty confused by it or more likely wouldn’t even register it at all, as not expecting thanks to be directed at me.
In the end, placing the divider is somewhat of a selfish action on my part, omitting later stress…
