- Comment on Japan cancels cherry blossom festival over complaints of tourists littering and ‘defecating’ in yards 1 day ago:
I had the absolute fortune to make my way through there at the end of last year. It was so bizarre to me that for the most part people are left alone to follow the rules with no oversight
And for the most part I saw everyone behaving well and not doing anything stupid; except the group of people trying to take pictures of a bison who was clearly unhappy about how close they were getting. He was grazing and would walk away a couple steps and they would follow. The boi was swishing his tail and showing what I saw were “leave me the fuck alone” signs and I had to at least shout to the people to leave him alone and they were fucking idiots. I was HOPING that they got charged and had some sense knocked into them
My partner and I had had discussions previously about what we’d do if something like that was about to happen and the kiddo in the car. If it’s just us adults then we’ll stay and watch the carnage but we’ll take off if they’re with us

It’s the same sentiment with The Onion and Black Mirror. Having to take a step back because reality is too absurd
- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 6 days ago:
Bigger yes, dumber no. It’s like saying dogs are dumber than cats. They’re just different and “smart” at different things. I don’t see packs of tracking cats going out on search and rescue missions
- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 6 days ago:
Awww I loved that! The horse was weirded out but mostly ok. His body language was calm and he followed her when she walked away, which is a sign it respects you and sees you as someone to trust and follow

Wait , WHAT?? that’s one of my favorite movies and I’ve seen it a million times. I know exactly what scene and pirate you’re referring to
From screenrant.com/hook-movie-glenn-close-cameo-pirat…
“Glenn Close isn’t the only famous face that can list a cameo in Hook on her résumé. Musicians David Crosby and Jimmy Buffett also appear as members of Hook’s crew, as does boxer and Rocky star Tony Burton. Elsewhere in Hook, stars including actress Carrie Fisher, director George Lucas and musician Phil Collins also make brief cameos.”
I had no idea!! I’ll have to give it another watch when I get home!

Here’s a long video of her using the broom to brush different parts of her body
She’s using it to reach parts of her body otherwise unreachable, even delicate places like under her tail and around her udder

Ooooh this is something I don’t know about! I’m guessing c3, c4 are classes and how things photosynthesize differently. Can you direct me to some reading materials?
Does it have anything to do with how some succulents turn red with sun stress?

As a kid I’d 100% dilute half and half or cream and use that
Only reason I don’t anymore is because I can’t do dairy

What I imagine is besties; driver is indeed a gay guy but there’s a scrappy chick who’s down for anything riding along
I don’t know where to find it, but it gives me the vibes of this clip I saw: chick getting regular voice comms harassment in a game and she replied (as close as I can remember)

This is a great read; it posits that nautilus did have a mucous layer that is no longer present, but other cephalopods’ complex eyes may have evolved from that
I love these little guys! I may have known before, but I learned the eye thing from this video yesterday actually (just to give credit where it’s due):

I’ve been meaning to reply sooner, but I kept your comment up so I could get back to you
You did mostly answer my question! I looked him up and was delighted by what I read. My first wh40k army was the necrons. I have their symbol hanging from my rear view mirror, even! It’s been there in my cars for the last 20ish years? I have the first necron codex
[Insert image of codex here] I can’t find it atm, or else I’d share
But I haven’t been active in a very long time and I was blown away by the changes to the units when I looked them up a few weeks ago
Ultimately I was wondering what the artwork was from but I was still glad to learn about some new lore
- Comment on Who needs ice anyway 1 month ago:
You’re not dumb, you’re just not educated in this field. It’s basically an inside joke and you’re not in on it
But I do agree. I’d love a blurb from the poster, just a sentence even, as to what it refers to. Also like the artefact pictures are amazing and beautiful but I want to know the significance, no matter how small it is
- Comment on THIS is an inventive idea 1 month ago:
I guarantee you that’s a tree farm. I’d gladly be proved wrong
The uniform height, spacing, and lush branches are a key clue. I wish I took pictures on my last trip so I could show you what I’m talking about, but I was traveling through a place undergoing logging. In the forest, like you’re thinking, the lower branches are dead because the crowns are crowding out the light. In the understory, lower light plants thrive, ones who can’t really take full sun all day
I say this to hopefully assuage your feelings about the picture. The tree did what it was meant to do, and in a spectacular way

- Comment on Bring bathroom doors back to hotels 2 months ago:
Went with my partner to a really cute cabin for a vacation. It was a yurt, and really nice except the partition to the bathroom was just a curtain and the wall didn’t go to the ceiling. It was at least behind a wall so there was a small modicum of privacy
So waaaaaaay too much cheese on both our parts lead to some very unpleasant bathroom trips and a resulting overload of senses. There was a window, fortunately, though it was fairly ineffective but we learned to excuse ourselves from the cabin when the other had to shit their brains out
- Comment on Bring bathroom doors back to hotels 2 months ago:
I haven’t had too many issues lately with hotels and obnoxious lights. And I think it’s because manufacturers have changed something. But every once in a while there’s some device that has a pinprick hole with a blue led behind it that acts like a damn flashlight and sends a faint blue beam across the room, or if it’s aimed at you:

I understand what you’re saying. I lived in a place that has all 4 seasons. I understand the hassles of snow in winter and unbearable heat in summer without ac
I’ve since moved somewhere more temperate and I miss the 4 seasons. It’s wet, cold and wet, warm and wet, or hot and dry, interspersed with short periods of really nice weather. It’s not warm and pleasant all the time, but I’d be hard pressed to give up storms. Here, no thunderstorms. And if we get them they’re completely obfuscated by clouds (our clouds sit really low)
I was visiting family recently and got to experience an absolutely magnificent storm and I was so incredibly happy. The last storm I saw like that was from when I visited Disney World a while ago

I’m not against bros blowing bros,
But if that were to happen I’m pretty sure it would not be consensual on Mamdani’s part
Cuomo? 100% wouldn’t have given a 2nd thought and assumed it’s true

That was still a very heartfelt reply and I appreciated it. I don’t think you came off any way at all other than passionate
Please don’t talk down to yourself. Learning new things is inspiring!
Your comment made me realize

Definitely, but they did well for themselves and their family. They moved between big name studios but have found a comfortable career not tied to any big name studio
I haven’t kept in close contact with them but it’s pretty fun hearing about, or even playing, games they’ve worked on (every once in a while I check up on what they’ve done)
They eventually got into the sound side of things and occasionally would do recordings when family got together. One time in particular I remember, we went on a walk and they brought recording equipment. Recorded the ambient sounds while we were on the trail. Sometimes we’d be talking and other times we were walking in silence. Recording us approaching and departing; the sounds of our footsteps on different terrain: gravel, dirt, grass, pavement. Got some closeups of a small creek that ran next to the trail. Would record the sounds of a field of wild grass, or a stand of trees. I wonder if anything they recorded ended up in some game… That would be pretty dope
Tl;Dr What I can say is, they genuinely loved their job no matter which shitty big name they worked under. And they got to do some genuinely fun things in the pursuit of bettering their work
Sorry for the wall of text, idk I just haven’t really had somewhere to share that. I’ve never heard someone mention infinity ward , like literally ever. Any time I’ve said the name I’ve been met with blanks stares until I say “Call of Duty”

I have a family member who worked for IW on CoD but left shortly after the merger when they saw the writing on the wall. Granted they left for a company just as bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They like moisture. They’re crustaceans like crabs and shrimp so they need high humidity at the very least to survive. Bugs also like to find shelter in shade so a big shady place that also happens to be damp is paradise

Nope, it’s still flashing yellow, like it has been, and has been after the last couple resets of everything between me and the wall
