I think that people being in overly light polluted areas for their entire lives is or at least is a major part of what’s wrong with society these days.

When you go out at night and look at a sky completely filled with stars it makes you feel a certain way. Full of wonder, small, curious. Conversations always go in the “what if” or “what do you think about” sort of direction. It really puts you in your place in a strangely calm, thoughtful , and healthy way. And the more you can see, the better. If the Milky Way is visible it just puts you in awe.

People don’t get to experience that very often, if at all, when they live in a populated area.

I think that is by design.

If you cannot just go outside and get that huge feeling of idk existential wonder, you’re going to get hard coded into your personal fears and beliefs and all that whatnot. This drives the population apart. Meanwhile, all forms of light pollution measures are either deemed too expensive or just not enforced. At least in my area. And large amounts of the population live somewhat close to an airport. Never really gets dark at night near an airport…

Anyways that’s my ted talk about how light bulbs are ripping society apart by its very fibers. Next up is how ceilings are a conspiracy to keep the poors underfoot if anyone wants to hear it.

Might not fit in this thread but here goes.

My family used to have a cabin that was at a lake several hours out in the mountains and pretty isolated except for a few rich people who lived up there. Place was, and I shit you not, infested with Sasquatches.

Every 4th of July I would go up there to watch the rich people light off their fireworks and immediately after, I had found a logging trail that a large group of them would gather with their babies and all. I think to watch the fireworks. They’d let me get a little bit closer every year until my family sold the cabin. The last time I went there I took a couple friends and they chased us out of the forest until a car’s headlights scared them off… That’s also the most scared I’ve ever been.

For obvious reasons I don’t want to share the location of this lake…

I highly recommend giving it a watch!

Velocipastor.

It is a goddamn masterpiece and the perfect movie for all occasions.

My friends were the people injecting glow sticks… Arguably a pretty stupid way to die but this happened at an underage night club in the 00s. My friends who died were homeless children with abusive drug addicted families who either ran from the absolute failure of a foster care system that we have here, or just went straight to the streets knowing that they would end up in a worse situation if they were to seek help. Literally nowhere to go and willing to risk death for a little bit of approval.

My friends absolutely knew what they were doing was dangerous and could kill them… We all had known someone who died from doing exactly that… But when you’ve lived a life completely devoid of anything that resembles support the smallest positive reactions are like concentrated heroin.

It was fucked up seeing these kids who’s desperate attempt to just be liked being turned into an entertainment piece. It’s been a while but if I remember correctly the show left out that the people were minors so they could embellish on how dumb of a way to die it was… Or that children were being allowed to run around in a nightclub with glowing veins…

The whole thing was fucked, I never watched the show again. I realized that the whole thing is essentially just laughing at other people’s trauma and that’s not for me.

I had a group of friends that were featured in 1000 ways to die. Kinda broke my heart seeing them being made fun of…

You keep it up and you’re going to have to sit there for longer!

Go sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done.

I mean I can see the resemblance but if someone hadn’t pointed it out I would have never noticed.

No, someone else posted a link to the actual leggings here. They just have a seam that looks quite similar.

It’s when a thong sticks up past the pants. It resembles a whale’s tail.

I got a really cheap one off Amazon for about $35 and my dad loves playing with it and is quite capable even with his Parkinson’s. Just make sure you get one that comes with a tuning hammer.

The kalimba is super easy to play. Basically anyone can just pick one up and make something that sounds good!

And then you have every right to sue the beejezus outta whoever unleashed a robot into public that has super fast spinning knives but no obstacle avoidance programming.

I mean to be fair these are more intrusive thought type things. I definitely probably would never actually do anything like that…

Seeing this picture, my first instinct was to tell op to stand in front of it. Worst that happens is an easy paycheck.

Run and grab a package of hotdogs and we can finally get the answer to an age old question.

Put a pile of sticks halfway between a mowed area and an area that hasn’t been cut.

Draw a line right in the middle of the camera lense? If that doesn’t do anything then a stick person?

I grew up in a very ghetto area so sometimes I drink 211, cheap 40s, or hobo wine and it reminds me of my childhood. Bonus points if I can find the glass 40oz bottles but they’re super rare nowadays.

Yes I can absolutely afford actually good beer and I actually have a pretty good taste in beer (at least I think so)

I think it’s a kind of cake?

Yeah this just further solidifies my belief that birds aren’t real

This is the best, most comprehensive review on Taco Bell this planet has ever seen.
