      In this context it’s simply an earnest expression of how much admiration they have for the deeds of mortal man, and that’s all that’s really relevant to the comment thread.
      The placebo effect is real and shared delusions have created positive as well as negative effects on humanity, so why crap on their ideals just because you don’t believe?
      Personally I’m agnostic towards all belief, IDGAF about any of them as long as they DGAF about me.
      I’m atheist towards the institutional and powerful side of religious ‘corporate’ organisations as they are easily corrupted by the sins their own religion warns them about.
      God is just the manifestation of worshippers ideals, a clue to see the character they hope to aspire to.
      Rather than just opposing their whole system, perhaps it’s more beneficial to provide constructive criticism about the actual results of their actions?
      The problem I see with modern Christianity is that many groups seem to be confused about Jesus’s actual position on things like migrants, bankers, the wealthy and generally how we should treat each other.
      It’s the same as politics.
      The leaders are not representing the interests of the people, and division is creating profit for both groups.
      We are only humans, and if some need the aspirations of the celestial to be better people, why would you bother to stand in their way?
      I’m a cheerful nihilist, and I know not everyone’s comfortable with my world view, so I let them enjoy their own.
      Live and let live, different strokes for different blokes.
      The diversity of human opinion is so broad that there is always room for ignorance about others, and we respond emotionally more than with our reason.

      Seriously That took guts It’s a damn shame that man has left so much trash in the wild We leave tons of plastic to millions of feet of fishing lines, nets, strings, etc Animals inadvertently get caught in lines & unwittingly ensnared that can lead to cruel & prolonged painful deaths. Hats off to this guy. Somehow that wild bird sensed he wasn’t a threat & was helping him. He wasn’t wearing any gloves or anything. Gloves would have made the work that much harder though. That hawk was literally really tied up in some lines. That hawks talons & beak are no freaking joke. It is nice seeing someone do such a brave gesture to an animal in a difficult situation. Without him he might have hurt itself trying to get free or would have starved to death since it was ensnared by those lines. Good stuff.

      It is an osprey, not a hawk.
      They are somewhat related, but have unique adaptations for catching fish (their toes have tiny spines at the bottom to grab slippery prey, and each foot has two toes on each side).
      Many adults likely have a nest and chicks, so saving this adult possibly saved his/her offspring as well.

    At times this man was cutting the line against the hawks feet. Despite his shaking he trusted his familiarity and skill with his blade, and no doubt knew he may cause minor injury to the hawk. But he persisted, despite his nerves, despite those talons and that beak. He weighed the possibilities and set this lovely animal free. And the hawk! Such patience, right at the bleeding edge of trust between species. So happy I saw this video today, I needed it.

If they fold their wings, their weight centers into their torso and they sink. Then after getting out, they keep their wings spread for long periods of time (depending on how wet their feathers are and how exhausted they are) to try and dry them out so they can fly again because they can't fly with wet feathers. I think this one hasn't been in the water long enough to be exhuasted and wet to a point of being unable to fly. Then again, adrenalin is a helluva drug and can make people and animals do things they shouldn't be able to.

      Sadly, many animals give up once they are in a position where they can't move. It's an instinctual thing and actually pretty important to the ecosystem of this planet. It's pretty common for animals to give up until they are free of the "predator" or the wire in this case, which is the "predator".
      It is crazy, but it's always important that most animals can't think about this in a way that we can. BTW, whales and dolphins definitely can, so make sure you ask for legislation to help out ocean mammals.
