  I know they typically don’t bite, and that their bites aren’t dangerous.

  Fair warning, they may not be “dangerous”, but from the tarantula breeders I’ve talked to, some can “pack a whallop” which to me means painful as all fuck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spidey Senses⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair warning, they have the same problem as rats… They live just long enough for you to get really attached to them. Lifespans are about 1 year for males, and up to 3 for females.

  But, if you like them, you can always get a tarantula, which can live much longer.

  Email not in all caps. Clearly fake.

  Burning it in a discarded toilet next to a truck stop is less disrespectful than this.

  I’ve never had a flag out front of my house.

  The day that orange fucker kicks the bucket, I’m putting in a flagpole and flying that bitch at full mast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spidey Senses⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Get a pet jumping spider. They don’t eat much, don’t need a large enclosure, you can handle them, and their venom is not significantly to humans (they don’t really bite anyway).

  My partner has two of them on her desk, and catching them exploring or sunning themselves is a little happiness boost every time. Image

  Here is one chilling out.

  I think you are required to make deflation porn a thing now. It’s like a rule.

  I’m imagining some dude getting sucked off so hard he turns into dust or a raisin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber Eats or something idk⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Biggest reason why I started paying an extra 1k for housing per month… In 5 years, my crappy “luxury” apartment will cost more per month than my house. In 10 years, people will think it’s insane how cheap my house is per month.

  Or the country could collapse and my property will be worthless, but at that point I got bigger problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm doing my part⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  …knee high thistles…

  That all you got? Mine literally block the sun.

  I’ve got Pine Warblers and Goldfinches up in that shit, and the flowers are absolutely covered in bees right now.

  Also my yard sparkles at night. I’ll probably take the thistle down when it looks like its going to seed, since it’s not native, but while it’s providing useful habitat and not spreading, I’m going to let it be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, this is what people did back then⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Play with hot wheels and Transformers. Maybe take the afternoon and fold an entire ream of paper into airplanes, one design only, looking for small improvements on every crease, corner and pleat to create the perfect expression of that design.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much when the US was the only super power to survive WWII unscathed.

  Also, having developed atomic hellfire, and the will to use it (twice), kinda makes you the big kid on the playground.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. Not at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had about 9 boosters at this point, and my nuts are so swollen from spike proteins that when I go to Walmart, they accuse me of trying to steal basketballs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the noise something makes when it goes over your head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no way right⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are 1.765 million registered voters in Utah. Trump got 883k votes. Kamala could have carried the state by 200k people if they bothered to vote.

  Unlikely, but still possible. If people in deep red states decided it was worth it to still got out and vote blue, even if they were going to lose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The rare double woosh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Woosh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How bad is it that Israel has attacked Iran? ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s glossing over the many times he tells people to kill each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ads when you’re pumping gas⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m scared because I have a huge iPad for a center console.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ads when you’re pumping gas⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say this is a point for electric cars, but it’s only a matter of time until those start playing ads… And you’re gonna be there for 10-30 minutes…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Does is keep better time than my 15 dollar digital Casio? Is it sturdier? Will it last longer? Is it more comfortable? No? So you spent a ridiculous amount of money to buy a less functional watch made out of precious essential materials just to try to impress people like me?”

  Honestly though, if you want to piss watch people off, just say “Oh, it looks just like a regular watch, thanks for pointing it out”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Jordan Peterson both a Christian and not a Christian?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, after watching his Jubilee session, Jordan’s debate strategy boils down to…“I’d like to nitpick the definition of every word and supplant it with my own”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They do keep records, but rarely share them.

  If your prospective employer says that they didn’t hire you because of what a previous employer said about you, and that previous employer doesn’t have rock solid evidence, then you can sue for lost wages, defamation, and get a nice chunk of policy.

  When people called the store I was managing to get info on past employees, the only thing we would confirm was the time range they worked for us,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This fell off my car, can I just rip it off and not care?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Zipties, thread, scrap wire… I would try to put it back on, even badly if necessary.

  No it is not necessary for your car to work. However…

  It helps improve the fuel economy of your vehicle, which will save you money. It will reduce rust and wear on your vehicle, which will save you money. It costs a ridiculous amount of money to replace that piece of plastic. Typically, those pieces are layered on, and the the piece behind it may rely on the one in front to stay attached correctly.

  If you plan to have the car for more than a year or two, I would recommend finding a way to remove it properly, or re-fasten it to the car.

  Ice-Cube is now stuck in my ceiling fan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon visits a guy's house⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re assuming that all the contamination is on the surface, but there is hair, lint, and other particles under your fridge that will stick to the ice.

  Also, your example of motor oil was a poor choice. Oil is probably not going to stick to your ice, unless it is in contact long enough to freeze, or get viscous enough to cling to it, and oil will not rinse away cleanly.

  Tremors 2 is peak cinema IMHO. I only wish they had spent a little more on the CGI, or replaced it all with practical effects.
