Great point, maybe it’s more of a cultural difference in motivations behind the activity.

This is quite likely. And perhaps that recreational birding is a bit more “traveling” - people travel to spot lifers. Whereas rec fishing is perhaps more localized?

But I do really like the idea of using a set system and then referencing having done so!

I could certainly make up my own reasonable codes. But I’m trying to decipher someone else’s… and realizing that if we fish peeps took a page out of the bird peeps’ book, this could be incredibly easy instead of basically impossible. 😣

Or am I somehow missing an effort to do this…?

God damn it is infuriating to know and care so deeply about things other people can just shrug off.

I hate cars and roads. For this and many other reasons.

I bet the bigger goal has not have changed but the ways to get there (interim goals?) sure have.

Truly idk why this had to be said, but people seemed to forget… so it had to be said.

Baffling indeed. And utterly, incomprehensibly disgusting, unforgivable and amoral.

“Impossible” if all you care about is winning an election. Drop dead necessary to save the country from demise.

I choose the impossible.

Force need not be a uniform verb. Call out as propaganda directly. Name the war in G@z% the g-word it is. Stop catering to donors over people. Relentlessly force the Epstein files’ release by agreeing to nothing until they’re out. Foster a vision of the country, not just lame opposition. Need more?

When do we think the Dems will figure out they can’t tell a fascist admin what to do? They do. Not. Give. A. S*** about norms or the right thing to do. Dems have to figure out ways to force what’s right.

I’m with you here. For example, coconut milk ice cream is rich, and it’s yummy, but I do not think it is creamy. It hits very different from ice cream. And I do like it a lot! (Because lactose intolerant :)

Intertidal crabs are totally badass. (Checks credentials…) I may be biased but I stand behind this on all 10 legs.

(Not to mention a truly shitty and dehumanizing way to cause said missed opportunity)

One could truly think of endless ways. …and also not the most important obs here either, but man, what a missed opportunity for the oyster/coastal community.
