I was talking about the weird shift against mental healthcare and safe spaces that just came out of nowhere.

I think randomly having a stickied mental health thread in a video game forum is ridiculous. We have a health forum, that makes sense. A stickied thread imparts a huge level of endorsement and officialness to something that I’m pretty sure they haven’t earned.

I honestly have no problem with trigger warnings in general and adding one to my thread wasn't a big deal, I just figured anyone reading a gaming forum wouldn't need a warning to know to stay away from GTA if they're sensitive to the game's content.

On the one hand, I agree, on the other hand, once you start granting exceptions for one franchise you have to deal with people arguing that [their favourite game] shouldn't need content warnings either because it's totally well-known enough despite only being released in one county of rural Alberta in 1993. Easier to just say "warning labels on everything no matter how well known you think it is".

It was stupid because beekeepers might have paid him for the bees. Pretty sweet inferno bee holocaust pics though. Rocket fuel, insect corpses and a melted swing set. Also they through a trailer hitch at em too at one point.

Didn’t he literally put his grill under it and light it aflame? My memory is pretty lousy though after my misfire on the last page (although it derailed just about as I expected). Unrelated to that incident, goons balanced his act out by sending bees to folks via Heifer International one holiday.

I miss the annual charity GBS threads. Maybe they’re still done but I miss them because I don’t visit GBS these days. There are still a few orgs I donate to as a result of finding them via SA.

I think they put an old wheel rim underneath it and fulled it with fuel and set it ablaze. Tossed cups of high octane whatever into it for some latin kick.

E: What do baby bees eat if they dont make honey?

It's more a lacking of the social structure of honeybees rather than the not making honey. For instance, bumblebees still make 'honey' but they don't make stockpiles of it for winter because they are nihilists, so you don't want to beekeep them because all they do is turn into a box full of dead bees come winter. The stingless bees do collect honey, but not at a scale that makes keeping them anything more than a hobby, and other bee species don't even live in hives so they never make stores large enough to matter to humans.

Honeybees are the only ones paranoid enough to produce more honey than they need to stay alive for the winter and organised enough to put it all into nice wax packaging to make them worth anything to beekeepers.

"bumblebees still make 'honey' but they don't make stockpiles of it for winter because they are nihilists" is a great turn of phrase

Exploration is ill-advised.
Animal control would know how to deal with bees or be able to point you in the direction of a business that does, wouldn't they? Down under we have dedicated snake catching businesses that are pretty busy. They have a booth at the show with tons of snakes and lizards hanging out. (usually cuddling together in the smallest space they can find)
