There are abandoned pets in Scandianavia, too, but not as many to be noticable and most do end up turned in if they're suspected to be a stray (or lost). As a fellow Scandinavian I wonder if that is also because abandoned pets won't survive the winter here and don't become "proper strays" for as soon as winter sets in they starve, freeze or wildlife gets to them.
Wealthy? Sure. But he was the people's king, being warm, humorous and inclusive. And very much loved for being the county's grandfather, regardless of your age. One of his more memorable quotes: "Norwegians are girl who love girls, boys who love boys, and girls and boys who love each other. Norwegians believe in God, Allah, everything and nothing. Norwegians like Grieg and Kygo, Hellbillies and Kari Bremnes. In other words: Norway is you. Norway is us." - King Harald V
I'm being charitable that he means if somebody in the past acted like Trump they'd assume something medicinal or illness being behind it because it's so outrageous. As they do for various rulers, not that those were not narcissistic or cruel, but because said traits could also be due to illness-brought madness. Or a less wordy way of putting it: "I think they're just mocking what an absolute fucking loon Trump is, not excusing him."
But that's all about context. If I pick up a book that's marked as fiction, I'm content with it being a made-up story with fantastical elements. If I pick up non-fiction book I do not expect to be told stories, but to be given facts and reality. In these feel good dumps I do expect the stories within it to be real and not made-up composited stories or AI. In this context it's only "good content" when it's true.
That's all fine if you're upfront that it's a story told, but here it's (if unintentionally from the OPs side) presented as reality which makes it feels deceitful. I want real, wholesome content that shines through all the shit we usually see, not make-believe wholesome content. Whoever made that clip originally no doubt did it for money-making purposes and not to tell a story for" wholesome content" alone.
I didn't say YOU can't enjoy it or find it scary. The book/movie is/might be great, and you're welcome to enjoy it! It was more so to those who express fear and are terrified of going into the sea in case a spermwhale will snack them up, especially after seeing that movie trailer.
I know people find that trailer scary, to me it's too implausible to instill fear. A fully grown spermwhale is not likely to eat a human or swallow one whole (they also hunt at much deeper depths than we dive). Their throats are barely 2 feet/60 cm wide, so that makes it extremely unlikely to swallow a personwhole WITH with an airtank as in the movie. It would at the very least try to rip you into better bite-size pieces to avoid the risk of choking on our shoulders + airtank.
This made me do a good ol' witch's cackle. Thank you.
Is he... is he still trying to jump-form an X for promotion for Formerly Known As Twitter? Really?
They ruined the mood for me. Too much "what ifs" to those...
I think Dan Olsen made the best observation on it, though I don't remember it word-for-word. It along the lines that IF the earth is flat, then all the other weird or downright crazy conspiracies they ALSO believe in must be true, too. (He makes the point that a lot of flat earthers moved on to QANON, as example, when the hype died down.)
Only if you can also pick the people up and use them as skipping stones. My record was eight bounces. My brother could only do six. The scrub.
Bob of Silvermoon, I think.
"That's funny! Because he was a massmurdering fuckhead!" Is the following sentences if memory serves correct. If only the gif was longer.
Is the dolphin lady in the audience? :D That laugh is contagious.
My vet told me that they don't have one on their forehead, so a proper bull-head-on bump is just pure love/affection (or I'd like to think so as both of mine will do all variations depending on time of day/scenario).
I was about to link this! His reviewed was so... reasonable compared to the shock-horror of others reviewers, no doubt because gagging is more content-worthy.
You'd enjoy the Good Place.
Based on the reaction I can only conclude that was not the first call from actual police/jail.
Not sure if I intended it to be, I just got caught in a rabbit hole of relations where "it was thought bats and primate were closely related" often came up. I did find some article stating that bats are closer to humans than mice, but it wasn't to clear to me if that was by genome or immune system... Apparently bats closest relatives (or family groups) are those that include pangolin and whales, out of all things. Thought it was interesting to share as bats are delightfully strange.
And you're absolutely right that bats are not closely related to mice. I got sidetracked on wikipedia reading up on family group/order scientific classification in general. Phew, that is a complicated beauty to tackle before bed...
Don't think that's fully correct anymore, but I believe it used to be considered true as bats confused everybody. But our (primates) are in the superorder Euarchontoglires, which outside primates and their relatives includes Lagomorpha (hares, pikas, rabbits) and Rodentia (rodents). Bats are considered closer related to cats and dogs than to us as they're in the Laurasiatheria superorder, but we're still close related if not THE closest related!
I read an article yonks ago that men sending dick pics is also about getting a reaction, any reaction. Because (often rightfully so) their "nice" behaviour does not land them positive or even neutral feedback, so by their logic getting outrage back aka a bad reaction is at least some achknowledgement of their existance. That you say them/the dick. I'm NOT excusing dick pics, or even really piting the men that send them, just thought it was a curious behavioural bit for (some) of these men.
Knowing there's litterboxes that do this to cats, this add just made me feel ill (I'm guessing this add is older than those, but it crosses into reality). I guess my dark humour have a line where I "get it" as far as outrage goes, but I don't find it funny.
That feels a tad pedantic. I think MadnerKami only wanted to point out that evolution *does* in the sense that nobody is better planned than anything else alive currently, even if some looks stranger or "worse planned" to us than others. We're only the result of what evolution has done over time.
Seeing how they're mamals, shouldn't it be puppy-"goose"?
Hey now. Cats absolutely are aware and can care. (As I can't speak for all cats, just my own.) One of mine accidentally bit my finger as a kitten (very eager + very tasty treat) and I cried out as it bloody hurt with needle kitten teeth. After that he's refused to take anything from between my fingers. Preferably he wants the treat on the floor, occasionally accepted from the palm of my hand. He's a good boy. (And I'll admit I'm sad I spooked him so badly as a kitten that this is the result.)
Thanks for the comment. I was thinking her look wasn't all natural, but her face being so feminine confused me a little. So I'm glad it's pointed out that this isn't something any woman can achieve naturally with just lifting weights and exercising. It requires a little extra (same for how "perfect" male bodies also have some extra going on). But no shame on her for making an informed choice.
... yeah, I'm among those who's grown jaded by realising the videos of adorable rescues of pets are often cruelty in reverse. Film the animal healthy and fine, neglet/abuse it, then reverse those clips so it seemed like you saved them. Because some people are cruel to animals for clicks and views. And I do mean absolutely, terribly cruel to animals. The only way to stop that is to not give them clicks and views. Because people will do a lot for clicks and views and the cash that go with it.
... why is this so terrifying to me? *reluctant upvote*
