I'm thinking I worded my reply badly, making it sound like a counterpoint when it wasn't. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] MrPoletki@feddit.uk 1 point 4 months ago Oh, absolutely. Beating it to death is 'overkill' though if your intention was simply to 'make it sorry'. Tbh, reading this thread it seems like a lot of people don't feel able to pull their punch accurately enough to both make a seagull regret taking your food and not injure it in the process. I mean, if you're really angry, and you've physically caught it, what's wrong with screaming in it's face then throwing it into the air. It'll be off like a bat out of hell after that. But at the end of the day, it's a bit of food, not even worth doing the above either but I guess it depends on your anger management skills. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] MrPoletki@feddit.uk 0 points 4 months ago (1 child) I hate to be that guy but beating it to death is 'kill'. Beating it to death, then continuing to beat it some more... that is 'overkill' permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [โ] Wilco@lemmy.zip 1 point 4 months ago No, its a message to its friends. permalink fedilink source parent
