I saw a guy get paid to shoot an entire wedding with one of these
He kept shooting the bride and groom over and over, up close, far away, everything in between
But it wasn’t just them, he shot everyone, no one was safe, old or young

Do those look like bloodstains to you? Really?
Blood doesn’t go like that or dry like that, this looks like someone slopped a whole wine bottle on someone else sitting in that seat

>I have been assured his last moments were not painful

So either this isn’t true, or he died under heavy sedation, or they euthanized him, and they wouldn’t sedate or euthanize for a brown recluse bite
Brown recluse necrotizes the flesh, it’s agonizing

How about we normalize sincerely being passionate about stuff and not just chasing trends for the sake of being seen participating in the trend
You know, this scene is kind of a fantastic example of what Star Wars was once able to do
It’s very funny, but doesn’t make Han look stupid — he’s stressed and making things up on the spot
It also doesn’t make the Empire look stupid — the squad is coming no matter what

Hasan underpays (or just straight up doesn’t pay) his editors, steals other people’s content, bans viewers for disagreeing with him even if they do so as nicely as possible, and people like you have made him fabulously wealthy for it.
He’s no socialist and neither are you.

Every adult was 14 once. The overwhelming majority of adults remember what it was like to be 14.
If the overwhelming majority of people who remember what it was like to be 14 think these things about 14 year olds, maybe — just maybe — they’re speaking from experience.
Just found out about the Greenland Shark, which apparently reaches sexual maturity at around 150 years of age

The US is not yet at war
War with Russia would mean war between nuclear powers
Depending on who strikes when and how, the stakes would range from nuclear annihilation of one of those two countries to complete human extinction
The ability to separate emotion from critical thought is vitally important because *emotions can be wrong and/or destructive*
You need to be able to step outside of your own feelings and think “am I being unreasonable in pursuit of emotional gratification?”

Philosopher’s Stone has a whimsical, Roald Dahl-esque tone that makes Hagrid’s explanation in the book — that muggles would be pestering wizards to solve all their problems and wizards just want to be left alone — easy enough to swallow at the time

Then here are some examples of female-led stories from just this decade alone, which had near-universal acclaim including from most of the same people who complain about Sues.
Compare the writing in these to the Star Wars sequels or Captain Marvel.
