Oh hell yeah he has like 4 raven videos that are variations on “what’s it like to have a raven” and the videos are almost all him berating people to never have ravens as pets, that they’re feathered asshole aliens, and that you have to be a masochist to want one. They’re pretty funny actually.

Yeah was not expecting to see him on here. He’s an amusing, and odd, duck. I found him 7 years ago when I was trying to learn up about training my puppy.

Dude I don’t think even the democrats would float this sort of plan. It’s one of those weird moments between planning the three stooges reich where he just glomms onto some idea that is actually super progressive without knowing it. Ultimately trump is apolitical personally I think—he acts based on narcissistic self interest, which is why it’s possible for weird shit like this to happen. He also just takes notes from whatever whackos are around that day, so you can be sure that any actual good or progressive ideas will get removed from the platform by one of the far right grifters he has in perpetual orbit, but still amusing to see.

The democrats would say they wanted to do this, then complain they’re not allowed to, and then produce a plan that provides green cards to foreign grads if they agree to live in an underserved neighborhood for 5 years, have a specific blood type, and complete a post-secondary degree within 5 years with the intention of working in green energy development after. Like some caveated-to-hell means tested crap that lets them say they tried, while effectively making it near-impossible.

That’s uhhh, a very specific and weird number. Since it’s likely totally fake/ballparked anyway, why not just round it up?

I have a semi-joke that Costco is the closest thing the American middle class gets to communism.

Alternate hypothesis: you know how ceos and “master of the universe” always seem to like doing diaper play or being whipped… maybe this owl, who is a badass killer by night, just loves being flipped over and immobilized by pink human meat-sack generalists. Like he’s a king by night, sub by day.

I mean being an apex predator means you’re just really specialized and good at killing some other animals. Makes sense that there’d be weird glitches and blind spots in their abilities for other things, they didn’t evolve to lie in bowls, they evolved to be super light, quiet, nocturnal predators that can see small prey at great distances in the dark. There has to be some sort of compromise or they’d be too OP and have to be nerfed for balance.

I wasn’t expecting much, but that was legit good.

My experience mirrors yours. Back in the day I used to have to do clean installs all the time, but I haven’t for years now, and I’ve swapped lots of hardware and disks, etc. it’s fairly problem free for the most part, except for the creeping sense of doom I feel with each new piece of adware they cram into the user interface. I am definitely planning on switching to Linux, I have an Ubuntu server and have installed a flash drive version of arch on my laptop before, but I just haven’t hit a wall yet that makes all the work of completely switching necessary yet.

I mean I hear ya, but most of those folks look pretty old. A lot of cultures have elder traditions that don’t exactly include looking hot. No idea, but given how old the photo is, might be they’re important village elders, or people like priests/spiritual leaders, and they’re wearing ceremonial stuff also.

Oh yeah, I’ll bet. It hasn’t happened as far as I know, but that’s the kind of situation where things like really strong storm surge or tsunamis would be pretty rough to evacuate from. I assume there are some ferry’s, maybe the region could mobilize a personal craft flotilla for a evac rescue, like dunkirk…

“It’d be a real shame if something happened to your work file. If you pay us monthly, we can make sure your work is protected”

Yeah absolutely. This is one of the things that movies seem to get right. Also in post apocalyptic disaster type movies, you often see freeways with just huge empty traffic pileups.

I was leaving on a car trip a few years back, and unbeknownst to me, about 20miles up the road, a huge thunderstorm had brought down some trees and power lines, blocking one part of the northbound highway, during early rush hour. We got stuck for 3 hours trying to get past it. No matter which side road, turn, whatever we took, it was jammed. We waited for an hour on one small side road only to get sent back because a line was down at an intersection. This wasn’t a major natural disaster, things went back to normal in a couple hours. But it really drove home to me how pointless it would be relying on escaping/evacuating from a real disaster if you didn’t get out early. I don’t say this to suggest that people shouldn’t follow evacuation orders, they absolutely should; an evacuation order is early warning. I’m saying this to suggest that none of us should assume that we’ll just be able to get out in an emergency, particularly in a car. It just doesn’t take that many people on the road to completely seize the system.

Exactly right.

lol, first thing I saw too.

Given that half of them were enthusiastically taking horse de-wormer a few years back… this is not impossible

You nailed it. Been trying to resolve this in my head and it’s been a challenge, but the way you framed it exactly describes what I’ve been trying to get to.
