A BEAR ATE MY BEST HUMMINGBIRD FEEDER.
Rude.
Someone tell that bear he's not supposed to eat that with the skin on.
I live in South Africa. And if you live in South Africa and you have any contact with people from the US or Canada you might have run into a question about wildlife like lions and elephants roaming our streets. Most South Africans get pretty offended by questions like this. We are a civilized country, our large and dangerous wildlife gets contained in properly fenced parks.
I use to get offended by this until I visited a few places in Canada and realized that the reason why you ask is that some of your large and dangerous wildlife does simply roam the countryside and sometimes make excursions into town.
This honestly blew my mind. What do you mean, you have bears just walking around? What the hell?
north americans don't all encounter deadly megafauna on our porches and front lawns but it happens often enough that we all think this is a reasonable amount of gigantic animal to happen to your house. so when we think of africa we kinda imagine it like this:
like. if we had elephants here. this is what we would be putting up with on the regular. what do you mean you guys are more sensible than us.
Few weeks ago there was a black bear casually roaming the suburbs with local news casually reporting on it, while surrounding cities were like "Hang on, there's bears that close to DC?" Bear was caught and relocated. Casually.
The ones that really freak me out isn’t listed above: alligators and crocodiles.
There’s tons of them along significant stretches of the US and they just kinda... wander around sometimes. And I mean, what are you going to do to stop them? Put up a fence?
Good luck!
game companies should be fucking EMBARRASSED about being inaccessible. it should be mortifying to ship a game with shit captions or no UI scaling options or no option to disable flashing / strobing effects. games lauding their character customization should be laughingstocks for not including hearing aids or congenital disorders or prosthetic limbs. EA should be publicly fucking humiliated for the sims series being 23 goddamn years old and include cats and dogs and horses and werewolves and zombies and mermaids and star wars and not FUCKING WHEELCHAIRS.
visual novel games should be screen reader compatible and controls should be fully re-mappable by fucking default also.
Give me a map of the midwest how you imagine it, and don't just use state lines, show me how you think the cultural area of the midwest actually exists in the US
Chicago
There is more to the Midwest than the Chicago Metropolitan Area
Source? TBH, I’d like a source on this “Chicago” thing as well…
The existence of Saint Louis and Minneapolis
I think those are just different spellings of chicago. Like Byzantium/Istanbul/Constantinople
God, 1453 worst year of my life. But no they are actually both over 200 miles from Chicago
nah bro, Chicago’s just that big
I don't think this is an accurate map of the Chicago Metro
I've spent my whole life trying to convince/explain to people I meet that there's more to Illinois than Chicago/Chicagoland (I'm from Champaign).
You can imagine that I might be deeply distressed by the idea I might need to convince/explain to people I meet that there's more to the ENTIRE MIDWEST than Chicago 😭
where the hell did that map above come from? This is what I see on my map...
remember when an sfx team spent four hours making 3/4ths of mcr look as horrific and decrepit as possible and ray toro still managed to look inexplicably gorgeous against all odds
this gets me every time. like woman how the fuck do you look this beautiful you are slathered in passive aggressive latex
it is literally her kind and loving eyes
Neither femme nor masc but a third more wicked thing....... Boring
What's weird is I'm usually a horribly awkward person in 1to1 conversations, buthe moment I get any sort of stage or crowd attention I'm in my element. And then the moment I get off the stage I sit in a room and read for 16 hours.

You hate me for my news of the goings on in the neighboring dutchies and dales.
its called the D: drive because you look at how much space is left on it and you go "D:"
my dads recently been jokin a lot about “mystic runes” like i asked what we were gonna do when we took a rest stop in santa barbara and he said “look for mystic runes” and then i asked if we were gonna eat or just walk around while my mom shopped and he said “the runes will tell us”
you all hate the position i sleep in because you haven’t advanced to my level and you’re jealous of my mental acuity and caustic wit as well as being extremely good at sleeping
My brother's girlfriend had HPV, so he went to get himself the HPV vaccine. There is a fee to pay (nothing much, something like €87) but it's completely free if you're in one of the "at risk" groups.
"What does that mean," he asks.
"It's free if you're gay," he's told.
"Ah. Would I have to like, prove it, or...?"
"Just put in a check mark here."
My brother is in no way, shape or form attracted to men, but also he's stingy as it gets. So now he's officially gay. Congrats bro.
"Doctor, give it to me straight"
"You sure, there's a fee"
"… Give it to me gay"

Fascinated by the fact that his first question was about if he'd have to prove it. I wanna know how far that man would go to save less than a dollar
Sorry, do you think 87 euros is less than a dollar
when the power went out i heard an explosion and my boyfriend was like “a transformer probably busted” and i deadass thought he meant Optimus Prime was out there nutting
