Set up a security camera? Though they usually get in by eggs having been attached to corals/plants. Have you put any new plants in in the past few months?
Basically, I have a sci-fi world with intelligent animals. The story is that long after humans disappeared from the Earth, animals eventually become intelligent and made their own society to replace them. One major development in their history is that predators and prey agreed to live in harmony, signing treaties, making laws,...
I could imagine after a disaster they would be forced to eat each other to survive without all these supplements. A horrifying side-story perhaps? A town cutoff by rock slide has devolved into chaos…

“CRT has recently put out a series of announcements regarding their money issues, blaming everyone but themselves for the holes in their finances. However, a Freedom of Information request shows that as of 31 May 2023, the Trust has wasted anything up to £249,680.09* on the Water Safety Zones – much of it spent on outsourced enforcement contracts with companies like District Enforcement.”
Somebody with deep pockets cannot stand the poors living in “their” neighbourhood. Or an official has a connection for kickbacks from the enforcement companies. Hate to see this shit.
What you encountered was a sociopath projecting how they feel about every action they take onto you. Somehow you are the asshole for not complying with their selfishness.
They are tuned to agree with you in the first place. It would make sense that even if they can tell that the answer is wrong they will agree with you anyway.

I’ve been thinking about the PS1 game ‘Driver’ a lot recently. It’s a game I spent a lot of time on during my youth, and whilst I’m sure it doesn’t hold up some 20 years later, it was still a highlight from my ‘gaming youth’....
They’re all mediums. The content on them can be anything from mindless to informative.It’s all up to who’s curating it. Do you leave it up to the algos and advertisers or actually provide something to your kids? Up to a certain age letting them do whatever on the internet is idiotic like letting them run around a bookshop that carries porn and mein Kampf.
He was always going to claim that. That’s his position on everything. Caving to any demand will only give him cause to do it again and louder next time.
Quite a lot of Russian talking points with sources like “The Grayzone” and Glen Greenwald. You think Teixeira was doing the world a service by leaking documents to his friends? Of course! It’s the deep state media that’s evil because reasons (with no reasons given)
ECFR: with possible exception of France, whole of Europe “has almost completely renounced the idea of greater strategic autonomy.” “We are so vassalised that we can’t even admit to it. If we did, then people might figure it out and that would be terrible.”

Does it make sense for a world of animals trying to live in harmony to outlaw predation but still use the death penalty as punishment?
