Apparently, the only way to get under their skin is to sink down to their level a bit. It's funny how much attention some of this stuff actually got. They are just so weird!

Why does he look like an alien?

Because in the film industry, actors are not the ones responsible when it comes to firearms. There are armourers/props, people, and even assistant directors who are responsible for on set safety, actors and crew trust other departments to do their job correctly and safely. There are so many rules and regulations for how guns are handled on set, on every set I have worked on guns were locked in a safe with the armourer being the only one with the key, they would have to have their eyes on the weapon at all times with no exceptions when it was outdside the safe. You don't hold an actor responsible if there is a stunt gone wrong or a piece of the set falls down because it isn't their job unless he was behaving recklessly or outrageously. Although he may hold some culpability due to his role as a producer and the financial stuff, i.e., budget cutting, hiring inexperienced crew, etc. I can't stand the man myself, but he is not the one who is most responsible for this incident

They are stunning, and we're the last thing to die last year. Once they get going, they are fantastic. Be sure to pinch the tops off the young plants to get even more growth as well

It was surprisingly easy and pain-free for me, I didn't do anything special other than dig them up and throw the clumps in a storage bin full of vermiculite in my basement. The only hard part is dividing them because I had no idea what I was doing this year. It would much less work of anyone who lived somewhere warmer, but I am in Alberta, and it's too cold to overwinter them

I would do my current job for free with people who need it but couldn't afford it (massage) think seniors, sick, disabled ect. Also, spend time working with animal rescue/shelters in some way

Dahlias, this is my second year growing them, and I have expanded my collection this year with some beauties. I swear they are addictive!

Try to limit how much news/social media I consume, especially the really dark stuff. Then I spend a lot of time finding good things that I love watching (cute animals, reno videos ect). It's a lot of self-preservation because a ton of news is super depressing and rage inducing, keeping a balance between not being totally ignorant but not wanting to ruin my mental health is key

If you are really interested, Cecelia Blomdhal (spelling may be slightly off) is a youtuber who lives there and shares all kinds of interesting stuff and gorgeous scenery. You can visit without having to brave the cold and polar bears that way

I follow a youtuber who lives there, and Svalbard is really pricey. Food and anything else consumer goods wise as anything has to be flown in or paid to ship via freight ship. Also, housing is extremely limited, and it's hard to find without a job already secured, which may or may not be easy to get depending on who is looking
