Nope I’m not.

And the Americans are still here because he ran a clown show last time too. Palestine might not make it through the next 4 years though, but that’s what the abstainers and 3rd party voters were pushing for.

No. There were two ways the trump admin was going to go. He was either going to run an effective fascist regime, or become the ringmaster of the largest dipshit fucknugget circus. Seeing how things are going so far (and he isn’t even the president yet) it’s going to be the latter.
Sure, there will be long term damage that is going to take years, if not lifetimes of hard work and good policy to undo, but it can be undone. Assuming 2024 was a wake up call and people vote more effectively instead of throwing their voice away at propped up Russian disinfo candidates.

No, the reproduce pretty quickly. Wipe out 50 % of the bacteria in your body, an they will recover in a few hours. Wipeout 50% of all the grass in Africa, and you’re gonna have a lot of starving gazelle, and even more starving lions.

Still waiting for that ACA replacement promised on week 1 of trump’s presidency. It was supposed to be so easy. Now we’re 8 years out and they have “concepts of a plan”.

Even worse than that. 50% of all life dies, right? That’s 50% of the plants too. If you know anything about food chains, taking 50% of everything leaves the top of the chain massively overloaded.

I thought it was just an instantaneous, every living thing has a 50/50 chance of living or dying. No rounding, no species specific exceptions.

Just give Facebook a permaban. Them banning you is like your boss writing you up for having the best attendance.

No, you can have non-removeable magazines. The tube in a pump-action shotgun is the magazine, but it’s definitely not a clip.

Pffff. Look at this conspiracy bullshit.
Everyone know that the universe will actually be created tomorrow. What you are experiencing now is a flashback from tomorrow of what you did yesterday. Prove me wrong.
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 weeks ago:
I’m pro-choice, but mostly anti-death penalty, isn’t that a contradiction?
I don’t really think so. A person’s bodily autonomy and the state’s power to execute citizens should not overlap.
- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 4 weeks ago:
Never heard this before…
As a sit pisser, I have no trouble pissing all my pee. That being said, I have heard that problems pissing while sitting is a sign of a swollen prostate and possible cancer. So my stand pissers should pop the occasional squat piss just to check their P-spot health.

Glass lizards have external ears. Easier to spot those right behind the jaw. Their body/head segment is pretty distinctive once you’ve seen a bunch side by side. At first it’s difficult, but with a little practice they become easy to distinguish, like Alligator vs Crocodile.

Take him to a cave.
Caves are the best.
Your child certainly won’t regret experiencing true darkness at a young age.

Did you miss the whole “childless cat ladies” thing the GOP has been doing lately?

You should try reading your source…
“Experts say the American alligator’s top running speed clocks in at 11mph.”
I a fat outta shape slouch, but I think in a life or death situation I could manage 11mph for a few minutes.
Sure they can burst a good bit of speed, but that 20-30 ft sprint mostly comes from them lunging with all 4 legs and their tail as hard as they can and then maybe 1 or 2 more lunges and some scrabbling.
It’s mainly a matter of weight and gait. They got stubby little side protruding legs and they weight a ton incomparison to their leg musculature. They can high walk for a good distance, and they can gallop, but only for a few steps.

Flat solid land? Nah, person wins on any distance over a few feet.
Through brush and marsh? Nobody beats the gator.
- Comment on Cheeky 1 month ago:
Same for rabbits. The are basically as much lean muscle that can fit on the lighest possible skeleton.
If you pick up a rabbit wrong, they can snap their own back with the momentum from kicking their back legs.
- Comment on I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at? 1 month ago:
At least get WPA2
- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 1 month ago:
The whole point of the USSS protecting former Presidents is to prevent this exact thing from happening. The USSS would do everything in their power to prevent him from fleeing or to get him back.
- Comment on How do I know if a medical issue should be addressed by a Clinic Visit, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room? 1 month ago:
My general hierarchy…
Something chronic, or changing, go to a Dr.
Something rashy, uncomfortable or parasitic, got to clinic.
If you call an ambulance, go to the ER.
- Comment on Home Depot 1 month ago:
Rented the biggest truck the had at home Depot.
American trucks are so shit that it still wouldn’t fit the small length of lino I had cut for my bunny room.
Shoulda just tied it to my little car and saved the 70 bucks.

They all racist AF, except for Bosmer. They think everyone is equally tasty.

I don’t know what it is, but it’s weird and pissed off.
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 1 month ago:
Unless you got a really cheap, or really old phone, it’s rated to handle that water and dirt exposure.
