I’m so tired of the brigadiers man. Hoped I could speak comfortably on this sub but still more kys stuff 🫩 I’m tired chief.

I know this seems obvious, but I’m hoping to go into either animal caretaking or environmental conservation for wildlife. I have a feeling ai can’t take either of this but my parents are pressuring me that careers with animals aren’t good enough income wise for this economy. Will they likely go up in wages since ai can’t take those?

I’m doing classes currently on zoology and conservation biology, and hoping to work with the panthera organization and some sanctuaries in the future. Anyone here going to work with lions?

I know there’s pro choicers in this sub too, but i genuinely get tired of arguing with them when they make the same types of responses that stray further and further away from reality just to seem in the right. I’m genuinely baffled by some of their reasoning, and sometimes it makes me so disgusted I have to stop arguing to keep my own peace. Not to mention, eventually they just star attacking you and calling you slurs instead of attacking your argument.

I have a feeling it would be a very different reaction, since they care more about puppies and kittens than babies (which is crazy).

Now before I say anything, I’ve only watched the first episode so far. Also, the lion king is my all time favorite movie.

All that aside: this documentary is genuinely stunning! the visuals, soundtrack, and narration are phenomenal. However…

Am I the only one that’s bothered by how much this documentary just feels like another nod to the Lion King? It feels like Disney can’t make something distinctly original about lions without it having to be connected to the lion king in one way or another. 

The story feels like a plot written out and “prophesied“ that Kio will be a king and inherit his pride’s territory. But in reality, a lion’s life is uncertain and a male lion will almost never stay in its birth pride and will eventually be chased off by the main male by himself or a coalition. Another thing is that the narration constantly refers to Kio and the other male lions as “kings” which is used far to often, a phrase that other lion documentaries hardly if ever use to describe the lions, which just makes it feel once again more of just a Disney thing to reference the lion king.

And not to mention, in that same scene they show the stars above the pride and the score plays music samples directly from the lion king. Very, very obvious.

 I could also point out that in the first episode they again call the pride’s territory as the “pridelands”, even though a male lion like Kito would leave this territory typically. In the promotional videos on social media as well, kids were shown talking about the documentary while holding plushies of Simba. And not to mention both Hans Zimmer on the score like in the original movie and Jon Favreau directing it like the 2019 lion king.

Maybe this is what Disney wanted, more lion king draw. And while obviously this story is from a real life lion and utterly different, it is very frustrating that Disney can’t seem to produce and sort of media revolving lions in Africa without having to make everything a nod to the lion king. Let lions exist as animals, not a reference to a movie.

Not sure if this is the right sub to post this in, but I used to be able to buy vinted uk items and theyd be able to ship to the us, but for some reason this month when I try to buy, it just says “item can’t be purchased: items of this type can’t be purchased from another country.” Is there a reason why?

So I’m a Catholic gen z woman. I also like a lot of nerdy/weird interests and enjoy drawing and making fanart for said things like anime’s, video games, animal fantasies, etc. The issue is… a lot of those people who like similar things? Utterly support abortions. I feel very outcast from people who like similar things as me, but would tell me I’m awful and deserve to die the minute I say I don’t support abortion. Does anyone feel similarly? It’s so hard to interact with anyone who likes the same things as me.

So I’ve been playing twst for over a year now, and I genuinely love the game. However, I feel like it’s the least generous of all the gacha games I’ve played. My other favorite gacha game is honkai stair rail, and every patch the game gives dozens of ways for f2ps to earn stellar jades (even though obviously the game has other issues with powercreep and such).

But twst? It is so dang hard to grind for gems, that besides weeklies and grinding through vignettes I really don’t know much of what to do. Grinding twistunes isnt very efficient at all even going afk, because you have to manually restart them so you can just walk away or do a different task. I’m really frustrated and never feel secure when saving for a card to get enough pulls. Does anyone have any tips??

(I hope this is the right sub to ask this question! Lmk!) So, I’m looking to go into a career where I can help with and research big cat conservation, since I’m very passionate about keeping these beautiful animals from going extinct in the wild, as well as build relationships with the cats. I’ve done lots of research on many of the different species of wild cats, and know a lot about how they act and their behaviors in the wild. I know these cats are dangerous, and I know nature is brutal and they are obviously dangerous predators. However when I say to people I’m more of a soft hearted person and don’t enjoy watching the cats brutally tear into live prey animals, I’m considered too innocent and I have a “Disney view” of wild animals that they all get along and sing songs or whatnot, and I’d never be able to work with the cats. So, because I don’t like watching things brutally die, even though I know why the cats consume them because they are carnivores, I’m not tough enough to work with cats? It’s conflicting, because I care for and want to help the cats, but I don’t have to love watching them kill animals in brutal ways. Does anyone else feel this way, or think I’m genuinely cut out to work with big cats?

I bought this pretty tiger off eBay but she’s missing her whiskers, which the seller said had fallen off and sent the whiskers with the plush. Only thing is I’m not sure how to put her whiskers back in 🥲 tips?
