I ate it because I kept reading “aquariums” and thinking the author meant protected wildlife areas, and it didn’t click until I got to “marine exhibit”

And now I can honestly imagine them allowing rich fucks to literally fish inside national aquariums for a price.

I recently watched a 3d video in a small theater about dinosaurs, and in the video we follow a T-Rex mother from her first eggs to death, including a fight with another dinosaur that ends up crippling a leg, and then the last few shots of her are limping toward carrion to survive a little longer, and then dead in a creek bed and I legitimately almost walked out of the little theater we were in.

I may have smoked a little before going in, so I may have been a little more emotional than usual. But still.

Fight fire with napalm.

Works every time.

It’s still weak, just like humans are still slow.

At least compared to other animals.

But like gravity, we just keep going. And going. And going.

And when the animals we hunted collapsed from exhaustion, we just kept coming. And then took it all the way back we came.

Just like gravity.

We can try to keep going until we just can’t anymore, but gravity will just grab us and haul us back.

Compared to the other forces, gravity is a weak ass bitch.

To answer the titular question: NO THE FUCK IT IS NOT and I have at least a few calibers reasons why.

I absolutely like pests!

I like them to stay out of my house, mostly.

But you know, all the other stuff that helps keep us alive is a big bonus, too.

Damn, I’ve heard jokes about quebecios being snobby with their French but that seems excessive.

Which makes it all the more hilarious that the French people I know have joked about Quebec speaking “garbage French”

Planes over Toblerone?

Serious answer: not sure but I’d guess “bumps ahead” or something like that.

Not great.

Last night my house flooded and I’m still cleaning up water and nasty shit. Everything smells like piss.

It triggered a fight over the fact that I still don’t have a full time job despite months of looking, and we are stuck in this place until I find something better than 3rd party labor.

My vehicle is leaking gasoline while running and the shocks are fucked but I can’t afford to fix it. My wife’s vehicle needs transmission work.

Also… gestures wildly around the US

Depression is a bitch and I don’t have insurance to go to a therapist or get my broken tooth fixed.

So yeah. Not great.

If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.

Goodbye florida airports, I guess.

Hey, so all the people who told me they need their guns “to fight tyranny”… They’re gearing up, right?

No, that’s a jpeg representation on your screen of a photo of a rock.

My favorite group I have ever DMd for was at a convention, it was 2am, and nobody had ever met before except the two couples in the mix of 9. I just ran part of a campaign I was working on for a different group.

I barely had to interact with them for RP stuff unless it was to drive the plot, or play a character they convinced to join them.

It was great seeing a large muscular guy dressed like a Dwarven blacksmith role play a halfling, and the smallest person there was playing as a half-orc barbarian from the plains of icewind dale.

And of course since it was a convention, and some of them had LARP gear with them, a friendly competitive sword fight broke out during a rest and instead of rolling, they just went ahead and used foam swords and stepped away from the tables. And borrowed dialogue from the princess bride.

Most groups definitely prefer combat, and to be honest so do I unless I’m running the game. Maybe I just haven’t played with the right group or character, or more likely I just suck at it. Either way…

I think everyone has “that one group” they wish they could play with forever and never have scheduling conflicts…

I’ve had more conversations than I can count with people I would never be able to talk to in person, all using our own native languages.

The original posts are in English, people comment in their native language, and I use a translator, then respond in my own language. Is the translator perfect? No! Neither is theirs.

With the way most translators I’ve used work, it’s easier for the non-native speaker to try translating, since the translator might try and use different words that entirely change the meaning, but likely list possible alternatives. A native e speaker will understand the alternatives while a non-native speaker probably won’t.

That’s my thought process anyway.

Never had anyone who wasn’t pearl-clutching or virtue-signaling complain about it. And I’ve had tons of conversations with people I’d never have talked to otherwise.

hider to wear all black clothing and be small.

Now I’m imagining a chibi style anthropomorphic plane wearing all black clothes trying to be sneaky.

You did this to me.

Fellas, is it gay to have empathy, show genuine emotion, and actually care about another being other than yourself?

African, or European?

Slightly harder to get in and out undetected, but the targets sure are a lot bigger.

I want to believe

Someone IN MY STATE decided just the THOUGHT of his neighbor voting Democrat was enough to execute the neighbor while he mowed the lawn.

Anecdotally, I’ve seen firsthand the fights and beatings and fucking arson from the MAGAt crowd over the last decade over clothing or hairstyle or bumper stickers at the grocery store to ever listen to dipshits like this.

A few years ago I purged my face book profile with a script that edited every post with lorem ipsum, and then deleted the content.

It was embarrassing seeing posts from 10-15 years ago. Jesus christ I was an idiot. I still am, but I was then too. (thanks mitch)

In 2022 I did the same to my reddit account.

Same reaction.

Although it was interesting to see my comments go backwards from “burn the system to the ground” to “we need to make a compromise and reach across the aisle” and then from “all religions should be allowed to die” to “Yay Jesus”

Like I said, I was a big dum

Oh god I would hate to see my YouTube comment history from my first account…
