Sometimes I lament how boring the wildlife is in the Midwest, but Australians and Floridians always make me feel much better about it. Worst we ever get are house centipedes, and I rarely run into those.

The Supreme Court rejected my state's rear end in a top hat governor's request to reinstate our restrictive, racist voting laws:

I am dancing with glee at the prospect of this dickfaced jerk and his cronies getting voted out in November.

lol if you think mccrorys going anywhere. the only people who don't like his idiot views are in a jerry rigged district. sadly I live in richmond county and know people who support all of his stupid poo poo even when it costs the state huge sums of money that could go into infrastructure or the economy. When you try to point out that these laws are from out of state religious groups trying to find any state dumb enough to pass the law they just stare at you blankly then say something about how we as a country need more morals.

The only thing that makes living here bearable is there is a bojangles with in walking distance of where I live and I can drown my woes in bo sauce covered chicken.

I like how this goes to child-like wonder to rapid-aging process in seconds. It's like he's partially made of wax.

There is nothing not brilliant about this.

I thought I would be awesome at flying a fighter plane because I can do it in video games with ease. When I saw Flight Simulator X had a F 18 I decided why not, I can do it. Unfortunately I got like 8 Over-G alarms over the course of 6 minutes which essentially means I would have passed out and crashed each time. Also at the end of the 6 minutes I ran out of fuel while flying 1400 MPH at like 13000 feet. I'm at least convinced now that I can't fly a plane like that because in order to prevent G-LOC I would most likely poo poo and piss myself.

The eastern brown snake is the second most venomous land snake in the world and those fuckers will chase you down to prove it. Are there really places where people don't just get away when they see or hear a snake?

Out of the handful of Australians I've known in real life, every single one of the them are freaked out by American opossums. This is hilarious to me because they're totally harmless.

In Denmark we literally only have two kinds of snake species. One that is harmless and one that is kind of endangered and so mildly poisonous that it has only killed one weak-hearted sickly tourist in 50years. The only animal I was afraid of when I was younger was badgers because I was told that they would bite and break your ankles if you stepped in one of their holes.

Denmark is like the opposite of Australia when it comes to dangerous animals is what I'm trying to say.

People are playing pranks and openly sabotaging some of the Burning Man rich people camps:

Radical Inclusion
Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.

Participation
Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.

quote:

I remember before the wealthy silicone valley snobs took over the Black Rock Desert with all their commercialism the Burning Man was a FREE event. Now tickets disappear within 45 minutes of offering at around $850.00 each. The whole Burning Man event should be burned to the ground it is so elitist and exclusionary. But that's just my opinion.

...

What's black rock like in June? Why can't we just have another burn before the burn ? It's possible.

...

ya'll get together in the desert to pollute the environment by burning a bunch of wood for no good reason, but vandalism is against your morals? All of you are vandalizing the desert and air with your stupid idea of fun

...

All you people that "stand for something" go up to the Dakotas and camp out for the Native Americans trying to stop the pipeline of oil! Your all a bunch of self indulgent ego warriors!

Your username is accurate then, my friend. But seriously, people who can do that deserve a lot of respect because that must be hell. Still, watching the pilot smile as that kid dissolves into a bitter old man without lip control is utter fantastic. "Hey, little Billy, here's how hosed your generation is!" *joy turns to blank horror, dread, and immediate old age*

In the entire history of post-European colonization Australia, something like 120 people have been whacked by dangerous wildlife here. About as many Americans get shot in the average weekend. Turns out the real most dangerous animal...is u

Well not you since you're Danish, but Americans
