Ants are fuckin cool. I wish the egg layers weren't referred to as "queens" because it gives the wrong implication that ant nests are a monarchy and that the queen somehow rules them.

In reality no decision-making comes from the queens since ants will continue to dig nests, find food, and care for each other even without a queen. The nest just doesn't have eggs to replace them.

Ants are really closer to being socialist collectives than anything. Food is divided evenly (although queens do get fed more, but only for the biomass needed to produce eggs) even the tiniest bit that is found is shared among as many as possible.

There are still cars that come with incandescent bulbs. I own a 3 year old base model Civic and it still has regular light bulbs in the headlights and tail lights.

"You will become more conservative when you get a job."

Me after being steadily employed for 22 years: hammer-sickle

"You will become more conservative when you own a house."

Me after owning a house for 5 years: hammer-sickle

Unless by "conservative" they mean conserving against liberal and chud mindset.

And he dies in a painful, humiliating way (eaten to death by little dinosaurs).

Dieter's death in the second film (CW: cinematic blood) almost mirrors how Hammond died in the novel.

The only ASMR I can stand is the sound of food cooking/sizzling, only because it triggers an appetite for me.

Shit like whispering, fingernails clacking on hard surfaces, or plastic bags being crinkled... no thanks.

My city has a rail station right in front of the stadium and barely anyone uses it, not even during big games/events.

When I was 13 I shat on Backstreet Boys and Nsync after I discovered The Eagles.

I grew beyond The Eagles though and now I lump them in with boy bands.

 

When Trump brought the cat and dog thing up at the debate, I thought he was cooked and that nobody in the right frame of mind, not even the average chud, would believe it, but the next day people at my work were talking about how true it is and that it needs to be stopped. It's amazing and scary how easily people are quick to believe something without a shred of evidence.

Even my mom texted me a mugshot of a woman who was arrested for killing and trying to eat a cat. But when I replied that it happened in a completely different city and the suspect was a US born citizen with mental issues, she said that the suspect was actually Haitian, it happened in Springfield and the police are pretending it happened somewhere else to make their town look good.

I don't even know how to respond to a take like that. Just a year or so ago she was happy to see Alex Jones getting canceled for threatening families of the kids who died at Sandy Hook. Now she's believing and forwarding Jones-grade conspiracy shit, and she couldn't care less about school shootings anymore. It's depressing as fuck.

Not only would it take a long time, I imagine the results would be extremely random to the point it would be unreliable as an execution method. Carcinogens, and the way each person's body reacts to them, are highly unpredictable. That's why health disclaimers on carcinogenic products say "may cause cancer" and not "will cause cancer."

It would be far easier to just shoot or stab the target and make it look like a robbery gone bad or something.

Reminds me of that scene from Austin Powers where they parody those intricate death traps in James Bond films...

Dr. Evil: I'm going to kill Mr. Powers by putting him in an overly elaborate and easily escapable contraption and assume it all went according to plan.

Scott: Why don't you just get a gun and shoot him? He's right there!

"This bridge can't accommodate your ridiculous treat-truck and we will fine you if you break it."

Pickup owners: "tHiS iS a ScAm"

I bet these same people post comments like "fuck around, find out" and "should have listened" on videos of people getting shot by the cops for not following their orders one hundred percent.

 
 
 

I guess Carano's post-Disney movie career with Ben Shapiro wasn't paying the bills. With Musk having skin in the game this shitshow is gonna be so fun to watch, but the better part of me knows Disney is just gonna settle out of court for some undisclosed amount and the chuds will say they "won."

 

More often than not, the plots are a variation of "woman in the big city gives up her job, leaves her (admittedly bougie and shitty) boyfriend, and moves back to the small town she grew up in where she hooks up with her old boyfriend who, in spite of his working class salt-of-the-earth appearance, has money."
