    As a professional photographer and tourguide I'm traveling to Greenland frequently since 10 years. In this decade I've been hiking and kayaking hundreds of kilometers on the in search of the perfect photograph. I've seen thousands of icebergs and glaciers, whales and musk ox and of course wild polar fox, but never a white one. But in September 2018 after a sunrise shot at the disco bay I've seen something pure white standing on the top of a small mountain and looking at me. A few seconds later the white thing began to move and disappeared behind the small mountain. So I took my camera with me and began running towards the mountain. After about 20 minutes I reached the top and of course the pure white fox vanished. So I walked further to the shoreline of Disko Bay. Then while climbing down to a gap in the rocks I saw the fox looking down to me just 2 meters over me. During the next 20min we did make friends and the distance became smaller. Then the unthinkable happened. The fox bit into my lens hood and stayed with me.

      By all rights it is a separate country, separate governments too, sort of a "not quite colony, not quite independent nation state" and thus, sometimes Greenland is acting as Denmark, and sometimes Denmark is acting as Denmark.
      BUT Greenland is part of the KINGDOM of Denmark, which is not the Country of Denmark! :D
      I know, Feudalism and Nation states in the same overarching state makes for a pretty weird system...

      @@foxi13x It's a bunch of borrowed behaviors and physical characteristics due to convergent evolution (Which I fucking looove)- A bit of cat software running on Canid hardware(With some extra feline bonus features such as the vertical slit pupils and hooked, retractable claws, even with spined, raspy tongues!). Foxes are generally solitary like many cats, preferring to hunt ambush-style rather than the endurance chase favored by wolves and dogs, sometimes even playing with their prey. Likewise, they tend to kill their prey like cats, biting to kill instead of grabbing and shaking them.
      So, they're kiiinda 'Cat-dogs', whereas Hyenas are Dog-cats: Canid traits and behaviors in a Feliform.

      uncletigger honestly, unless a person had some kind of a traumatic experience with a dog like being bitten, I just plain don't trust someone who dislikes dogs. The few people I have met on sever continents who hated dogs were very deficient in goodness and character. That's not to imply everyone who likes dogs is a great person. Also, while women can certainly be maternal, men also strongly bond with animals, especially dogs.

      @spitefulraven 4 роки тому +40

      ​@uncletigger Yes! A lot of books I've read say that generally domestication came about with hungry wolves lingering nearby as humans ate around their fires, and...well, eventually the humans decided to feed them scraps, which I'm sure the wolves enjoyed! And eventually some semblance of trust must've formed...the seeds of an undying eons-long bond were planted.
      Its so interesting & oddly humorous to imagine it, lol.

      @@aleksandr8493 evolution does not have _millions of years_ of time. That is a myth. Theoretcially humans themselves have had only 6,000,000/~30 = 200,000 cycles at most which puts to it doubt. (200,000 iterations is the time for a simple amino acid chain to form from scratch I would think). If I had to make a guess or if my very life were at stake I would do at least a one hundred billion iterations for a complex being such as a human to evolve (3000 billion years)
      Now you might talk at me but not with me if only you were present with your heart. When formal, Aethists have "professional" and scientific reasons for denying God, when alone however, most of them deny due to having a personal bias against a being that they cannot overpower or control much like democracy.
      God is perhaps the most self evident entity ever, denying whom causes existential crisis understandably. It's like 2 people were alone on an island and had a bet that if the sun were visible tommorow, the weather is good i.e I get your part of the fish catch. Tomorrow comes and the losing person denies ever calling the sun "sun". He cannot be disproven at all given the circumstances.
      Richard Dawkins has wasted all his life "disproving" God. I wouldn't waste my life if I were him, just move on from the flat earthers.... However his "addiction" itself is a proof that he is disproving something that exists (due to personal reasons again)
      It is a _very_ simple equation. The universe had a start sometime. It didn't start by itself. It was caused by something which in turn was caused by something which in turn was caused by something. But there was a 1st start sometime by something that was above time, dimensions and comprehension.
      About a few hundred years ago I imagine there was an aethist somewhere and his friend asked him "since when do you think that mountain has stood over there". The aethist didn't blink an eye and said "since forever, what is for dinner btw?"
