Yet another crime amusing enough to make me question if we need to get the court involved.

If only. If only self scan was the only way this came up in my life I would be so much happier.

She is, without a doubt, the worst pirate I’ve ever heard of.

“Jews were already genocided once” Right, I forgot that gave them the right to commit one free genocide themselves.

(/s, in case that wasn’t clear)

Yes, that is the point, Tesla.

My favourite is the one with an extra filter in the middle.

I don't think you understand what makes for good entertainment. Hint: you tend to need a conflict in a story. I wonder if "controversial shit" might be a place to find interesting conflict for your stories?

Also inclusion is not the same thing as pushing an agenda. Gay people are just people. They're allowed to exist in a story without it necessarily having to mean something.

I think with your bikes example, one of the factors is also that riding a bike is considered one of those fundamental skills in our society. You learn it early and internalize the rules of the machine. When bikes were knew, we absolutely had more tolerance for risk, so we didn't really care that people were getting hurt learning the ropes, and now that it's a staple we take for granted that people will be guided early on by more experienced riders. That's just not the case for something new. There isn't the widespread understanding of the device or any early training. It also helps that a bike is mechanical, so it's a bit easier to predict than something electronic, and of course the difference in safety standards now vs when bikes were new. So yeah, if bikes were just becoming a thing, we probably would feel different about their level of safety.

But I agree that anyone who wouldn't wear a helmet on one of these probably doesn't have much to protect up there anyway or is a literal child.

Between the walruses and the orcas, nature might just manage to restore balance.

Venison has a similar linguistic history, originally being any wild game meat before narrowing to be specifically that of deer. I wouldn't be surprised to find out they did it in lock step. It would make sense, anyway.

I found it! I found the reddit post, and here is the other picture that was linked. It’s apparently a place called Carr Manor in Cripple Creek.

Edit: Here’s the site for Carr Manor, not sure which suite it is, though.

Another edit: Found it! Second from the bottom, the Governor Ralph Carr Suite. There’s even a third closer angle that confirms there is a door back there, but it doesn’t seem possible to isolate it so I can link to just it. Just follow the Carr Manor link above, scroll down to the suite and you’ll be able to flip through the photos, but it’s basically just the imgur photo taken from the other side of the couch.

Thank you for indirectly leading me to discover the book title “The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England”. Even if I never work my way to finding out anything further about this corner of literature, that title certainly tickled me.

I really want to see more angles of this room. It’s so weird, and I just want to understand how weird.

The boards she steals are real boards, I’m sure.

Null null null null null? Null.

And the infinity symbol is likely related to the analemma, the shape the sun traces out over the course of a year.
