Cats are a recent addition to Australia. Cats have been in the UK fir thousands of years.

I know this will be unpopular on this site, but outdoor cats are the nirm here. Most places wont even let you adopt a cat if you cant let it outside. They have been here for thousands of years aleady so any potential damage to wildlife would have happened long ago. Until recently the RSPB even posted research that argued cats dont have any meaningful impact on wildlife species here and their most commonly preyed on species are actually increasing in population. Cats also just like to roam, a house cats territory is on the order of acres of land and houses in the UK are too small to offer them enough space, and they tend to get depressed and agitated if kept inside a small area.

So while in North America its better to keep them indoors, generally in the UK its better to let them roam.

Have you seen girls?

A printed out picture? Not a picture on your phone?

The duplicate question:

Q: Im trying to cast chromatic orb on some goblins, but I dont have enough mana. Is there any way to make it use less?

A: You shouldnt be using chromatic orb on Goblins, you should be using eldrich blast.

"Op is saying eh doesnt have the mana to cast chromatic orb, eldritch blast uses 3x as much mana and is way more complicated to use"

"Well theres a reason no one uses chromatic orb, OP needs to learn best practices."

"What the fuck? why is this spell trying to access your Patron directly? Theres no reason it cant run off your local mana reserves"

"Wow I made the pact with the creature from the abyss to get my powers, and now it wants a monthly sacrifice in order to keep use them?"

"How does a simple "create water" spell have a 15 second cast time? Is it doing something else in the background or were the glyphs written by a first year apprentice?"

"Ah fuck how do I change the incantation for my spell again? Let me search the the orb real quick...."

Is the Sphinx Scottish?

That's the exact image I thought of when I took the picture.

You can deny it

No, you really cant. You can do what you're doing which is criticising the method and thats very fair, but the results are undeniable.

Police have quotas on how many “gang members” they have to arrest to make him look good so they arrest random people to fulfill the quotas.

Thats an unsubstantiated claim and the couple of reports thats based off claims its orders from specific regional police chiefs, not the government, you can argue his government should do a better job monitoring those things, but you cant pin that on him personally.

He has been arresting thousands of people with zero evidence they are involved in gangs.

This claim has more evidence but independent organisation (HRW and Cristosal) only had 200 complaints in the first couple months after 25,000 arrests (its difficult to find more recent figures). So even if we assume all those complaints are valid and those people were wrongfully arrested then thats <1% of arrests being innocent, which is pretty good honestly.

he gets so much support because he’s “arresting the criminals” with so little pushback is scary

Because you dont have the context. Its easy to think of it as scary when you live in a relatively peaceful developed country, but for the people actually from El Salvador that had to deal with extremely violent gangs that could murder you for basically any reason at any time with no consequence and a government that was making deals with those gangs to keep the citizens organised, its an incredible relief, and yes he is actually arresting criminals and massively reducing the homicide rate. The fact that any time he is brought up, even on that Youtube video you linked Salvadorian people come out universally in support of him and point out how your "journalist" can only go around the country making her documentary without being murdered is because his policies, just goes to show how much good his policies are doing.

and again, dont get me wrong, im opposed to a lot of right wing populist policies and im against undemocratic dictators (which I think he is only on the borderline of) but human lives are more important to me than political principles.
