Anyway... Poisonous bite leads German police to farm with 110 snakes "BERLIN (AP) — Police in Germany said Sunday they discovered more than 110 dangerous snakes on a farm after a woman who lived there sought medical treatment for a poisonous bite. The 35-year-old woman drove to a hospital in Salzgitter, near Hannover, early Sunday and told doctors there that one of her rattlesnakes bit her finger. While the woman’s condition deteriorated and authorities hastily ordered an antidote from a specialist institute in Hamburg, police visited the farm in central Germany and found dozens of snakes. In a statement, police said specialists determined the snake collection included both constrictors and poisonous varieties, which weren’t housed in appropriate terrariums. The reptiles were all impounded." That last sentence... Anyway, I just love the fact that she managed to collect a whopping 110 deadly snakes, which she let freely roam on her farm, before she was bitten. Uh-oh. Nobody saw that coming...

Poor eels 😞. Contrary to humans they did not actively choose to take cocaine. And many recreational drugs that have an at least superficially pleasurable effect on humans, have quite a bad effect on animals. IMHO the eels should have the same right for a safe and clean habitat as any other Londoner! Especially since they belong to the Thames like the Tower Bridge! 🌊🐟🌊 I also live next to one of Europe's largest rivers. Eels have returned here. And the pollution has declined so much that they're even "tasty" again... So what happened? Fishing was restarted. Oh dear, why just can't humans leave the eels alone for once.

"Handled the situation". A nice way to describe that he committed mass murder. IMHO a good explanation for Padmé's very relaxed reaction "to be angry is to be human" would've been warranted.

The romantic subplot in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was so extremely bad, I literally can't remember it - except that it involved Rey and Ben. It is a repressed memory. 😉

For a second I took this literally (I mean we had fried gator tail here), but I decided to look it up. Eww Just the looks of it... and the calories... I imagine that this dish was for members of the British underclass, who slogged away 14 hours a day in the steel mills of yore. But if you eat that regularly nowadays and work in a call center.. well... (I admit it, I have no idea, just my prejudices... sorry, sorry) Red Borscht?

wow, this is great 💚💚💚 didn't even know it existed

the one from National Geographic?

Very interesting topic, gonna read 'em all. Thanks to those who submitted!

I love cyberpunk settings. I love cats. I must try this.

I came across this anime just recently. For some reason I was completely oblivious to it. I also love the art style, characters and story. Especially the art style 💚 there really is nothing like it. The technical quality of the animations OTOH is uh-oh... bad. Every corner that could be cut was (budget constraints?). So I stopped watching. Maybe I give it another try.

It's the fear that this is going to be permanent. He hopes that frankness and laughter will break through (totally assumed) "self-denial". Of course this is completely inappropriate and counterproductive to say to an aro (and also to an alloromantic person who struggles to find a partner).

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

Since there's no obvious causal chain that starts with a squish on a child and ends with a serious crime, it's in my opinion not morally wrong. Of course, talking about such a squish is a very bad idea. It would be interpreted as sublimated pedophilia. It's not rare for parents to also abuse their power. Many at least fill their children's heads with nonsense, which can cause a lot of pain later on. No one cares. A close relationship where an adult acts like a "normal friend" of a minor, and that's it, is not ideal, but... but ... is it not worlds apart from a sexual relationship with a minor!?

False. TPBM owns a Nendoroid.

I wonder: how can a squish EVER be morally wrong?

The Great Bacon Bake Off

So did you finish it? I unlocked all the endings for this game: Age of Fracture Age of the Duskborn Age of Order Blessing of Despair Age of the Stars Age of Frenzy IMHO the Age of Stars ending is my favorite. Freedom from the outer gods! Ranni: "Well then. Shall we? My fair consort, eternal." Strangely, this scene did not feel romantic at all. I mean Ranni is a "witch", but as we know, she's just godlike. She doesn't care for gender. And when she said this to my female character, it felt more amicable and protective.

Elden Bacon

I right now ordered one from Amazon marketplace...

Most of my religion teachers were quite bad. It sucks to live in a country where religion is a proper school subject. Once we had to write an interpretation of the story of Cain and Abel. And I was just honest and wrote something like this: "Obviously, what Cain did in the end was very evil and inexcusable. But we have to remember that Cain, contrary to Abel, at first was peaceful and did not even kill animals as a profession. I don't think it was fair treat him worse just because of this. We don't think that God hates vegans / vegetarians, do we? But here in the Bible story it seems like if Cain did not even get a chance for rather superficial reasons." My teacher was not amused. I seriously got the equivalent of an F. The temptation to give a student a bad mark just because the teacher disagrees with their opinion must be irresistible.

Huge posters from my Australian uncle, about the wildlife of Australia. My favorite was "Australian Sharks". Zelda. Posters from Greenpeace, some were rather scary.

I like it too and think it works. But do I look at it like at the rainbow flag or the transgender flag and think: this is perfection, the best flag possible? No way. The aro spectrum is diverse, but queer simply is a collective term, while aro is not / much less so. I don't want to redesign it. It feels already bad to even argue about the poor old aro flag, since there are way more pressing issues right now (and I don't even live in the US). The history of the aro flag is still quite funny. As you see above in the post by @Apex, the first it looked similar to the Ethiopian flag (or Rastafari flag), and then it shared most colors with the Jamaican flag. Which was both considered problematic. Anyways, the yellow wasn't just replaced with white. Before that happened, the flag also got a very radical re-interpretation. It was originally all about the aromantic spectrum: So how can you look at the history of the flag and seriously think it's the result of careful, deliberate design? Of course now the flag is well-established and a beloved symbol for many aros. It's not going anywhere. But I'm just being honest: if hypothetically back then I had the choice, I absolutely would've chosen just the upper two or three stripes as the aro flag.
