Treating a telescope like a jackhammer isn't going to work well.

They just haven't figured out your jackhammer just looks a lot like their telescope.

I recently watched a 3d video in a small theater about dinosaurs, and in the video we follow a T-Rex mother from her first eggs to death, including a fight with another dinosaur that ends up crippling a leg, and then the last few shots of her are limping toward carrion to survive a little longer, and then dead in a creek bed and I legitimately almost walked out of the little theater we were in.

I may have smoked a little before going in, so I may have been a little more emotional than usual. But still.

a spy chief saying something out loud is mainly a diplomatic message and not a secret plan.

Unless you're in the US, then they text secret plans directly to you.

But that's fair, it just seems like something a child would say when they're losing a game. "oh you're all right where I want you, this was all part of my plan"

They still aren't fully ready to fight Ukraine, in what universe are they ready to fight a NATO nation, let alone all of them minus the US?

The only way I see them being "ready to target NATO" is if the cheeto in chief is commanded to join in by his handlers.

Gaslight

Project

It definitely made me double-take at first because my brain tried to read "burners" at first until I realized that isn't what it said...

And I thought the torches were flags for a second, too.

Banners of books

People who exist to ban books from being read

That or there's a giant banner stretched out and made entirely of books just to the left.

Fight fire with napalm.

Works every time.

Every so often while working retail we would get an out-of-towner in the store while that happens.

They lose their shit and panic.

One time at a sports store, a guy heard the sirens at the checkout counter and just left the cart and booked it for his car. I guess he figured he would outrun anything coming at him...

The last two places I've lived choose a specific Wednesday of the month to test, and always at noon.

They still test in rain, so every so often you still feel that mild panic again until you look at the clock.

Don't judge until you try some ghost dick for yourself.

It's still weak, just like humans are still slow.

At least compared to other animals.

But like gravity, we just keep going. And going. And going.

And when the animals we hunted collapsed from exhaustion, we just kept coming. And then took it all the way back we came.

Just like gravity.

We can try to keep going until we just can't anymore, but gravity will just grab us and haul us back.

Compared to the other forces, gravity is a weak ass bitch.
