That’s a great Fitzgerald quote. I had to look it up. Written after The Great Gatsby but published shortly before, The Rich Boy is a novelette. From 1926.
Sometimes a DIY icepick lobotomy doesn’t sound like a bad idea.
I’ll go with you.
I’m still going to want to have a hard talk with God about why She allows cancer babies and such…
Wow! That’s amazing, I’ve never heard of a blue bee. That’s just really cool. I bet it was confusing when you first saw it. I’ve heard of/seen solitary bees but didn’t think about it. Did a little beekeeping work as a kid.
We’ve got a couple weird ones on the other side of the pond that I’ve been around. (wasps, actually)
Cow killer/Red velvet ant it’s sting is in the top 10 for most painful. They’re beautiful.
Cicada Killers are huge, 5cm/2in long. I had one fall out of a tree with a cicada right next to me. I thought it was birds fighting.
Didn’t even think it about it not being a honey a bee. You’re right.
Drones don’t have stingers. Queens and workers have stingers. Queens are from worker larva that are fed royal jelly that transforms them into a queen that is capable of reproduction. Workers are technically female but they’re closer to asexual.
So, that badass enby ace bee gave that motherfucker what for.
Don’t they slightly increase rain and slightly decrease UV? The particulate in the exhaust acts as nucleation sites for water droplets and crystals.
I don’t think it matters to Putin. I think this is catastrophic for Russia and will be the end of Putin’s Russia. No telling what replaces him, but it will probably be another strong man.
However, barring dark horses, the collapse will take years and many Russians and Ukrainians will die.
Probably turn up the meat grinder dial. Russia’s history has shown it can always get worse and they have no problem with human wave attacks. They have a significantly larger population than Ukraine.
Lunchables! You gotta keep that. Wonder if his Mommy still packs his lunchables and lays out his clothes every morning.
The bat boy stuff always astounded me at the grocery store.
They’re not wrong. The deaths of Indians from the Americas and the aborigines from Australia far surpass the technical definition of genocide. Throw in banana republics and other nation building and it is totally arguable that the US has been complicit in many other genocides, for instance.
Damn skippy. Gaslighting and basic ass lying are different things. But hey, it’s trendy right now. Next, we’ll find out how he’s a malignant narcissist.
Dude posted a shill review. It’s called shilling. It’s a form of lying for profit. He likely did it to advance his career or because he was afraid not to. His employer likely encouraged the action without directly ordering it.
Steve-O would absolutely swim in a river of shit. He, however, would not allow children to follow him.
Hell of a thing, ain’t it? I remember the tail end of Regan as a child. I come from evangelicals, these are the sort of events I would expect them to freak out about, but instead, they’re willingly along for the ride.
AP telling the same story. Looked like Reuters was, as well, at a quick glance. So I guess this is confirmed.
What a terrible thing.
That’s been my experience with my trans homies. As long as you try and get the pronouns right, little slips ain’t a big deal. They usually seem shocked that a redneck like me would even make the effort. Which is real fucken sad cause I figure that means they deal with it maliciously, more often than not, from people that look and talk like me.
Mr. Rogers would have something to say about not treating people like they want to be treated. If Mr. Rogers would be disappointed in the way you treat others, you’re fucking up and should feel bad.
I have a dumb tongue and really struggle with non-english names, it’s the same thing, normal people don’t care as long you make an effort.
You know, it could be a little derringer. I’ve never fooled with one and don’t know a lot about them. They’re cute little toys, but they have such low utility that the danger inherent in loaded guns outweighs carrying one.
Take a look at double action semiautos like the Ruger LCP. I think it’s the best of both worlds.
There are older revolvers that can go off from a drop that’s just right. Modern revolvers have a safety gate that covers the pin the from the hammer except during trigger pull. IIRC, Taurus, S&W and Ruger have all had this problem in the past.
Edit. Called a transfer bar, and is pretty much standard on single and double actions.
That’s really fucking funny, if true. (black humor, dead baby funny)
You got a sauce on this?
