Very possible, and probably even likely. Very few “herbivorous” animals today DON’T eat some meat (beyond carrion, even – deer will kill and eat fish and birds!), and there’s no reason to think dinosaurs were any exception.
I consider “villains” to be Halloween and Halloween II site material whether spooky or otherwise. Of course, more than half of these are pretty spooky.
Even Wario was spooky, once!
I cover everything I’d consider a main villain and secondary villain from a game actually starring Mario and/or Luigi, skipping a couple I covered in other articles.
“Imagine a woman in the long skirts and high collar of the early 20th century standing in front of the painting she created. It is a massive piece—about 10 feet tall by 8 feet wide—and it is not a landscape, a portrait, a still life, nor a scene from myth or history. Dominating the composition is a bold yellow form reminiscent of a plant or sea creature, glowing amid colorful, biomorphic shapes and vigorous lines. This is just one of 10 such works that she has created almost entirely alone—sometimes walking on her work as she lays down the paint—and one of 193 radically abstract paintings that she has made in a few short years, between 1906 and 1915. None of these details fit with the story told in museums and art history courses. We know the first abstract painters so well that we often refer to them by last names alone: Kandinsky, Malevich, Mondrian. We know who is celebrated for doing “action painting” on giant canvases laid on the floor—Pollock. Each of these men has been lauded for opening a way into new territory. As it turns out, that territory had already been explored by another artist. Her name was Hilma af Klint.”
I LOOOVE Hilma af Klint her work is the only abstract work I’ve seen that I really cared about and I’ve seen all the ‘supposed’ abstract greats. Hilma af Klint was a visionary artist.
I kinda woul love Kyle &Rogelio and Mermista& Seahawk in a couples therapy group post-epilogue.
You know, to point out how even good relationships can benefit working on them and how therapy isn’t shameeful
Mermista has self-esteem issues abot iving up to legacy while simultaneously feeling abandoned by her parents going to some sort of retirement resort rather than helping her advise the kingdom.
Kyle and Rogelio grew up in the horde, enough said.
Seahawk states in his premier episode he actually comes from a very different cututre than the rest of Etheria and its been causing him problems relating to others.
fuck if it’s this easy why do they close the goddamn road for like five months shit
all outta soub 😦
I work for the road crew in the summer. Crack sealing (the process you see above) is fairly quick and simple. (Though holding a hose that pumps literal tons of 350F tar into the road in the middle of the summer is NOT easy)
I think what a lot of people underestimate is just how much road there is in your city. And just how many directions the crew gets pulled.
For our city of around 50k people there are 8 of us.
Also, crack sealing is a wholly temporary measure, meant to slow the break-up of the roads, it’s not a permanent fix.
Roads tend to get closed for months on end because we have to tear the whole thing up, then, depending on the class of road, we either have to hammer-drill into concrete to lay rebar and the pour concrete, or we can get straight to paving. If it’s a road requiring concrete we’re required to wait at least 24 hours for it to set.
So after 2 days we’re finally able to pave. But the city allocates one (two if we’re lucky) 5 ton truck to transport material.
A relatively short paving job requires at a minimum of 60 tons. So that’s 12 trips to the asphalt factory and back. Each ton is around $80.
TL;DR
There’s a lot of road, not many of us, and soup is expensive.
Leave the soup men alone.
Leave the soup men alone, and go vote for people who will pay for more soup and more soup people
it’s almost that time of the year again, so you know what that means
You know, that’s fair
O.o …. What?
This is an American Christmas commercial with really weird undertones. It’s supposed to be a cute little tale of a brother coming home to see his sister and parents after being away for a very long time, but the way the actors eye each other and the general tone makes it feel like it should be romantic. It’s been dubbed the Folger’s Christmas Incest Commercial.
The actors didn’t know eachother until the day of filming apparently, and had too much chemistry immediately hitting it off.
I feel there’s an important lesson in this somewhere
hot take: ‘chivalry’ is fine as long as it’s adapted to 21st century values. if you are a male, you SHOULD be aware that your female friends face certain issues that you as a male dont. acting on that awareness in a way that keeps your female friends safe, isn’t a bad thing.
like… opening doors isn’t rly chivalrous when it’s just a thing you ought to do for everyone. but real 21st century chivalry might be, like, standing between your female friend and the guy that’s trying to get her drunk, or offering to walk her home when it’s late.
if the ‘chivalry’ inconveniences everyone involved and you’re just doing it for your over-inflated male ego — ie, “no you’re the girl here, you HAVE to let me hold this door for you and do all these things for you even when you can do it yourself and im just slowing you down” — then it’s just outdated misogyny.
Chivalry was literally designed to make nobles aware of their power and influence so they don’t unintentionally harm people when trying to do their job of leading and protecting people. Modern chivalry should carry on that sentiment of men and white people becoming aware of their own power of privilege and influence to help and protect the lives of their peers.
*Not to inflate their egos, but because it’s the good thing to do and makes the world a better place to be.
Chivalry, at its core, involves being helpful to people who don’t have your advantages.
It involved generosity and protecting those weaker than oneself: including opening doors when doors were made of badly fit heavy wood and often got stuck,and women, especially undernourished exhausted-from-childcare women, had a harder time opening them. It involved not lying, and following through on your promises. (A guy who is consistently late with the accounting reports, which delays the whole team, is not dedicated to chivalry, no matter how polite he is on a date.)
Chivalry is a code of ethics that involves dedicating one’s strength and skills in service to others; it’s not based on gender roles.

I remember hearing a lot of chivalry code actually being about keeping your horse from accidentally trampling people.
While most school districts across the country are cutting back on recess time and ramping up the Ritalin, one Texas school has kindergartners and first graders sitting still and “incredibly attentive.”
What’s their secret? Their recess time has tripled.
Instead of 20 minutes of recess per day, Eagle Mountain Elementary kindergartners and first graders now get an hour, broken up into four 15-minute breaks, in addition to lunchtime.
Their teachers say it’s totally transformed them.
The kids are less fidgety, less distracted, more engaged in learning and make more eye contact.
Eagle Mountain is one of dozens of schools in Texas, Oklahoma and California testing out extra recess time as part of a three-year trial. The pilot program is modeled after the Finnish school system, whose students get some of the best scores in the world in reading, math and science.
Hey kids! I’m glad that these students are less distracted and have more time to play BUT ADHD IS A GENETIC PROBLEM AND NOT ONE THAT CAN BE FIXED JUST BY MORE PLAY TIME
This is actually not a description of how you can stop ADHD, the disorder, but how you can prevent neurotypical children from exhibiting similar symptoms to ADHD by not putting them under wholly unnatural stresses. While this might also be helpful for ADHD kids, it would not “cure” them.
