Well I have hope. It might be unlikely but that doesn’t make it impossible. And if it ever happens that one is officially captured or whatever I want you to remember me.

Sister you might want to sit down for this surprising info: Bigfoot isn’t real. The thylacine is. And extinct animals are rediscovered regularly. Like the Galapagos tortoise that was officially extinct for 113 years and the Voeltzkows Chameleon was extinct for 107. The University of Queensland considers it “highly probable” that the thylacine was still alive at least until the 90s based on video and photograph evidence, which again- Bigfoot isn’t real. The thylacine is. So it’s apples and oranges to try and make that comparison between them. Even the ivory billed woodpecker has just last year been likely photographed again. Like am I crazy here? Thylacine isn’t a cryptid. It just hasn’t been seen in a long time

Same here. But make it with like jute and bamboo with a thin gold trim and she would buy 2
- Comment on This is a meme about beans 5 months ago:
This is my understanding too. After the plant dies it can release that nitrogen. While the legume grows, the benefit of nitrogen is negligible and negated by the fact that the legume is competing in the ground for water and other nutrients. The Three Sisters is a nice idea but there is a reason it’s not common practice. See also ‘companion planting’, the astrology of gardening. What plants want most is room to grow roots.
The best thing to do with legumes is till them under before they go to seed, or add them to compost.
- Comment on do humans shed more skin when sunbathing? 5 months ago:
That’s never happened to me unless I had maybe some dirt on my hands or on my body where I rubbed lotion on. Could that be what happened? Maybe some small dirt particles collected lotion and made little bits ?

- Comment on "Select a size" when it's just standard paper towel roll. Literally the same way it's always been. 6 months ago:
For reference, this is Brawny paper towels where the sheets are perforated the other direction, allowing you to actually tear a half sheet. This is what “select a size” should mean.

Here are two friends chatting Right friend tries to tell a story about “showing” something Left friend (annoying friend in this meme) interrupts the story to label right friend as “showerrr”, meaning someone who shows.
In the second frame left friend is in a shower, a play on the word from the first frame.
Do you like having memes explained for you? We at NataliePortland work hard to deliver meaning to memes. Please consider making a monthly contribution to keep meme explaining alive. As we near the premier of The Boys season 4 on Amazon Prime, meme explaining is more important than ever.

- Comment on California minimum wage shocks fast food workers as restaurant closes: 'Only the beginning,' ex-manager warns 8 months ago:
This reminds me of a few years back when Seattle announced $15 minimum wage. The highest in the nation at the time. Conservatives were terrified but had they looked at the data they might have felt different. After all, “facts don’t care about feelings.” We don’t have to speculate about what would happen if minimum wages went up. Every single state in country, along with the Fed has raised min. wage multiple times. We can look at history to see that every time it leads to an improved economy.
So what happened in Seattle? Are all the restuaurants closed? Are low wage workers out of jobs? Has Seattle failed? No quite the opposite. Washington, like all ‘blue’ states has a stronger economy than most other states. That’s why Fox doesn’t talk about it anymore. There was a ‘Foster Freeze’ in Seattle too that conservatives loved to trot out at the time. Forced to close because the mean old government demanded that people pay living wages. Of course we later learned that the owner wasn’t able to retain employees due to poor scheduling, wasn’t paying taxes and wasn’t paying vendors all long before the wage increase. Fox for some reason didn’t provide that update.
And now they have found a new martyr to trot out. Of course this one even admits up front that the restaurant is EXEMPT from the law, and laments that she wasn’t given any warning! Somehow the rest of the nation knew this was happening. It seems the real issue is this: Why on Earth would anybody continue working at Foster Freeze when the Mcdonald’s next door is paying a living wage?

The restaurant across the street just doubled their business. That’s capitalism.

I’ve found the Electrify America chargers to be the best bet. They’re almost always at Walmarts so they’re plentiful and easy to find. All the ones I’ve seen have been operating well so far

I like to mix some fruit juice into seltzer. It’s nice to have something bubbly and it’s more refreshing than just drinking straight juice. Juice is too strong! I can’t do full strength!
