I have seen a raccoon untie a rope and lower a bag of garbage down a flag pole. It was impressive frankly.

Raccoon poo poo is also disease ridden, and its a good idea to to wear protective eye and mouth/nose wear so kicking up raccoon poo poo dust doesn't infect you with some godawful disease. Huh, so I guess all those silk screened T-Shirts at county fairs aren't just examples of 'native Americans' being really bad artists.

I assume you all saw the cable show with crows where the crows are talking to each other and solving like 4 step problems using tools and they pass on information to each other. Was that all bull poo poo.

Unburnables in the bag and up the pole. When backpacking rig up a rope in a tree to do something similar. Racoons/bears will tear into a tent or a bag to get at garbage or hidden snacks. Most people only hide food in a tent once.

Idgaf that it's a gawker article: http://gawker.com/easily-shocked-one-million-moms-upset-over-adult-swims-1617307365quote:Homophobic, censorious advocacy group and righteous bunch of trolls One Million Moms is back with another important cause. The group, which is run by the anti-gayAmerican Family Association, concerns itself primarily with waging "media campaigns" against evils like the Geico pig, whose commercials they claimed promoted bestiality, and protesting virtually every show on TV for being somehow blasphemous, lustful or something else fun. This week they're feeling salty about Black Jesus, Adult Swim's new show from theBoondocks creator about, you guessed it, a black Jesus who lives in Compton and doesn't mind a little weed now and again.

Nobody who cares enough to fly a flag would fly the Belgian flag, though. I was going to post the Flemish and Wallonian flags here but while looking for them in GIS I found this instead:

Be forewarned, the first ten pages or so are taken up with discussion of AI torture scenarios, which very quickly stops being interesting to read or funny that Less Wrongites would ever consider it plausible, and instead is just gruesome. You may want to skip ahead in that thread.

Shear Modulus posted:What is this poo poo, Axis and Allies cosplay? Hetalia: Axis Powers (Japanese: Axis Powers ヘタリア Hepburn: Akushisu Pawāzu Hetaria?) is a Japanese webcomic, later adapted as a manga and an anime series, by Hidekaz Himaruya. The series' main presentation is as an often over-the-top allegory of political and historic events as well as more general cultural comparisons. Characters are personifications of countries, regions such as Hong Kong, and micronations such as the Principality of Sealand, with little reference to other national personifications such as Uncle Sam or John Bull. Both positive and negative cultural stereotypes form part of each character's personality.

This is an educational public service announcement for DnD: "Stop and Frisk", when used in reference to a specific set of written and unwritten policies by NYC police that disproportionately targeted Hispanic and African-American individuals for Terry Stops, is probably not constitutional. It was ruled unconstitutional and appeals are ongoing but the basic constitutional outcome is likely to stick. The policies are supposedly getting revised. We'll see. "Terry Stops" are constitutional, and are likely to remain so. They are legal. Courts have not ruled against Terry Stops. Police can stop you and give you a patdown based on very little evidence, less than probable cause. The legal standard is usually articulated as "reasonable suspicion based on the totality of the circumstances", which in practice means virtually anything more than a baseless hunch or racial stereotype. "Stop and Frisk", when used in reference to "Terry Stops" that involve a patdown for weapons, is legal. The standard for a stop and frisk is different, and not well-defined, but involved "specific and articulable facts" that would justify a search- usually signs of an imminent or recent crime. The NYC laws were struck down because police weren't even meeting this very low standard, but the general practice of stopping people with little reason and patting them down is legal, and probably will remain so. If a policeman does this, surprise surprise, don't give them poo poo about it- they think you're armed and dangerous. I've been trying to explain it to a co-worker who told students that terry stops were illegal now, and I've seen it get mixed up elsewhere, so there it is. edit: Modified to reflect higher standard for stop and frisk versus Terry Stop Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Aug 8, 2014 |
