Not in this post, true, but in pretty much all her other ones.

But they do? Along with any other animal that happens to be nearby.

That is the one insect I will go out of my way to kill.

I’d say yes… except he does it to smart and digital watches too.

My snake likes to wrap around and ‘strangle’ watches. Not bracelets, just watches.

I always thought the fact that turning our heads too fast can give us strokes was rather inconvenient.

Yeah, but at least most of those still have multiple toes to spread the weight around. Horses decided to get rid of that completely.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Simple: the people electing him are racist white southerners.

Those kids in the 60s treating their new black classmates like shit, the white teens pouring drinks over black teens doing soda-counter sit-ins, the young white couple that’s all smiles as they attend a lynching… they didn’t just poof out of existence when the Civil and Voting Rights Acts were passed. They grew up, had kids that they taught their racist bullshit to.

And all of them vote.

The scary thing is I think some of them (like Muskrat) do believe it… even though they have no idea how AI even works or how to build a robot like in the pic. They just come up with the idea and then hand off all the actual planning to others, and then strut around like roosters in a barnyard feeling oh-so-smart.

And these rich idiots want this stuff in order to keep all the money for themselves instead of paying an actual human for art/programming/writing (in the case of AI) or so they don’t have to deal with a real human being with their own needs and wants (in the case of a robot ‘wife’). They just don’t want other ‘inferior’ people around them, period.

Which just goes to show what they think of marriage, I suppose.

Or just walk through an old graveyard. There’s a pioneer cemetery near my old place with so many children’s graves. One family gravesite has the mother’s name, the father’s name, a couple of their kids, some young, some adults… and one is just titled ‘babies’.

Like, so many babies died for that mother and father they just put them all in one grave, not even names to remember them by…

Did you feel left out not getting one?

What a despicable crime. She stole them from needy school kids; they were intended to feed kids in low-income areas during lockdown.

You know, you’re always welcome to post your own, not-reposted content.

I love him rocking four hats at once!

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth.

This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.

It’s the lack of lignin (bamboo uses silica as a strengthener) that sets it apart.

But bamboo is a grass, anyways.

Well, given they think wearing tan suits should disqualify (people of certain skin color) from office…

And of course he adds in a picture of John Wayne, the draft-dodging, woman-beating, other wannabe cowboy poser.

Basically, yes.

In the books it was just that they would only answer to Isldur’s Heir. They also scared the Corsairs of Umbar away from their ships, but it was an army of Dunadain (along with a few elves, like Elrond’s sons) that actually ran them off permanently, so they could use the ships to bring some of the Gondorians in the south back north to join the main battle.
