I do love that Aotearoa has incredible avian diversity.

On one hand, we have Kea parrots who are smarter than most of the human tourists they like pranking and stealing from.

And on the other side of the spectrum we have the kakapo: literally the dumbest bird in existence.

Such amazing biodiversity lol

I’m a mechanical engineering student with a math minor and I’m a switch so yeah, I’d take either side of this

I just started learning rust like two days ago and I haven’t had too many issues with OOP so far… is it going to get considerably worse as the complexity of my projects increases?

Disclaimer because I’m about to start defending his intelligence: Light is a horrible person regardless.

Light’s first slip up is his temper, causing him to act without thinking to kill Lind L Taylor on live TV. In all fairness, until that point he had killed hundreds of people already with zero resistance and if you want people to “know of my existence” what better way to do so than to kill someone on live TV and get away with it.

The next “mistakes” he makes are in focusing on killing L instead of hiding from him. But really he would rather play a deadly game with L than anything else, and he does play that game intelligently and win despite many unforeseen obstacles.

Point is, light doesn’t get caught because he isn’t intelligent, he gets caught because he’s more obsessed with power and domination than not getting caught or actually saving the world.

I mean that’s literally why he’s evil: he’s not trying to fix the world.

He himself mentions that society just tends to decay and—knowing that he won’t live forever—he must know that killing evil people and trying to keep people in line with fear will not work and will not last. However, he does it anyway because fixing the world is just the excuse he uses to justify his god complex.

He’s not stupid, he’s just more entertained playing with death than he is doing anything else.
