Swedneck

a year in the horror dawns upon you
you have trained your partner to engage in small talk to get kissed

i've never understood the dislike for mopeds on bike paths (let's not talk about lanes, bike lanes should not exist), it's only a problem if they go too fast, which bikes can and will do as well.

i'd say the largest reason it won't happen is that ireland has a tiny population, compared to the channel tunnel linking london and france

what precisely does "tap my USB C" mean? USB isn't something that just permeates the air, and a charger can't magically access the internet unless you specifically have powerline adapters installed (and even then good luck)

actually extremely uncommon traits in humans, which is why it took hundreds of thousands of years for it to get this bad, and why our species is still alive despite it.

they're more existential dread than actively scary i feel, eldrich creatures emerging from the soil on a weird super long schedule only to screech for like a week or whatever it is and then promptly all die off

i somehow prefer the thought of eating roasted larvae over sugared beetle

i swear to god large insects specifically go out of their way to hit me on the nose while riding my bike, once it must have been a bee or something hitting me ass first because my nose swelled up right where the glasses rest on it.

it's borderline traumatizing

i mean that's largely how it works here, if someone's being an ass they get told to fuck off in varyingly polite terms

america dearly needs to unionize, it shouldn't be normal to have to accept verbal abuse while working for a wage that doesn't reliably let you pay rent and buy food

i'd say these days paleo art is more "okay so we know what related animals look like, and we know what animals in the same general niche look like, so let's use those to fill in the blanks from the skeleton and make something that looks like you could find it in the wild"

honestly i feel like many people are quite a bit too generous towards people of the past, people just really liked to write fanfiction with fossils as the base for a lot of the history of paleontology.. Basically like what jurassic park did but they passed it of as enlightened science, conveniently forgetting to tell people that they just went ahead and moved a bone found near the legs up to the nose..
Certainly there was genuine attempts to recreate dinosaurs, but good lord a lot of it is just obviously biased, lord forbid dinosaurs not be portrayed as sluggish obsolete monsters!

i don't think slop is a technology issue, it's people having dogshit taste

traditional artists have mercifully filtered out the worst of it, but now the floodgates are open

mixing cars and bikes works, but only under specific circumstances: you need to make sure the cars drive slowly, there's little car traffic in the first place, and ideally drivers should be used to cyclists and cyclists themselves, so they actually view them as humans and avoid making them feel like shit.
