Y'all. I just saw a hawk catch (or was flying with, idk) a squirrel. And y'all.
It has simply never occurred to me
How fucking
BIG
A hawk is.
That is the size of a small dog out there!! Smedium, fr!!! It's huge!! Like I have never!!! That's a big ass bird!! This is crazy!! I figured turkeys were large, but that's the size of a turkey!! It's just out there sitting under a tree right now! Idk what it's waiting for, it didn't even eat the squirrel, just flipped it like a burger party and ran off! Staring! Menacingly!!!
HE FLEW IN THE TREE
NOT CONFIRMED GOLDEN EAGLE ANYMORE

boston driving advanced tech guide
you've probably already noticed that turn signals ("blinkahs") don't serve their usual function here - a common saying on the server is that using them as intended is just giving information to your enemies. you may be tempted to conclude that these "blinkahs" are useless. not so! they are exclusively used for parrying cars audacious enough to think they can just drive past you. the timing is a five-frame window beginning when you can first see the approaching car in your sideview mirrors. simply engage your blinkah and then immediately jump out in front of your opponent. if you get the timing right, you will build super meter. if you're too early, you've accidentally performed a safe traffic maneuver, resetting your meter to 0. if you're too late, you crash and may have to transition to direct PvP, which is outside the purview of this guide.
yellow lights can also be parried by running them, with the amount of super gained determined by how far you make it through the intersection before the light turns red. the ideal window you're aiming for here is between your front and back wheels crossing the white line
you can use your super meter to cast a variety of spells to hinder your opponents. popular meter-efficient spells include mainstays such as "Summon Double-Parked Uber Eats Driver", "Line-Skipping Merge", and "Greater Unmarked Cop". if you max out your meter, you can cast the legendary "Power Word: Storrow".
the super meter system works differently for bikes. obviously, since they lack blinkahs and run red lights anyways, they can't build super in any of the normal ways. instead, they build it up passively, since their very existence enrages every driver around them. to offset this, the spell list for bikes is a lot lower-power than the spell list for cars, mostly being focused on mobility or utility instead of offense (although there are some notable exceptions like "U-Lock Missile"). the capstone spell for bikes is, of course, "Post Misleadingly Edited GoPro Footage On Reddit".

Tried to vanquish my first technocyte coda, at least I made it to the last stage before N’Backstreet Direction kicked my ass
We learn and try again!
"Mario Mario" is an anachronism. He and his brother were only ever referred to by mononyms in their lifetime, like most residents of the Mushroom Kingdom at the time - multi-part names were typically reserved for members of the Toadstool dynasty, and even these were more like titles or Roman cognomina than what we would call a surname today. His putative ennoblement as founder of the "House of Mario" came centuries later as the collapsing feudal order sought additional sources of legitimacy
#mushroom kingdom folklore says that he sleeps beneath a warp pipe to arise in the time of the kingdom's greatest need #he's definitely shown up a few times but it's hard to tell if he has risen from the dead or is just in the middle of some time travel shit #historians hate him.
While the historical evidence for Mario having a younger brother is quite concrete, the name of said brother is less certain. "Luigi" is generally held to originate with a separate figure from a series of chthonic myths, who originally served as a sort of psychopomp charged with capturing spirits that escaped the underworld. The strongest case for a contemporary figure named Luigi comes from the Waffle Kingdom sagas; however, this Luigi's brother is a gladiator named Gonzales.
now I know that there's no way for me to respond to this without a bunch of fans of the modern adaptations ruining my inbox for the next week, but there's no evidence of Waluigi - or indeed Luigi - in any of the contemporary versions of the Mario-Wario sagas. The name "Wario" itself is a later invention, held to be a pun on warui that likely emerged after the adoption of Japanese scripts in the Koopa States.
The conflict between Mario and his "boyhood rival" was one over political influence on his home island and Mario's long absences - in particular his trip to Sarasaland. While later Sarasan sources would heavily reference Mario's brother, he is absent from both the preceding narrative and the unrest in Mario's homeland. The historical consensus is that the Sarasaland journey was one of Mario's earliest wanderings, with his brother attempting to manage affairs in his absence and proving unfit. The invention of a separate "Wario" character and its development into an explicit coup d'etat were later poetic creations, as is distancing of the "Wario" figure from the later depictions of Mario's brother as the more cowardly and reserved "Luigi".
(As an aside: "Mario Land" is a mistranslation. The original Mushroomer and Sarasan chronicles are better translated as "the land of Mario", without connotations of ownership. The modern scholastic consensus is that it refers to Yoshi's Island, where Mario and his brother spent their youth and later established a small manor, not, as commonly depicted, a "Mario Castle". The emphasis on Mario as king of "Mario Land" was a mostly successful political maneuver by the Yoshis to retain coequal status with the Mushroom Kingdom heartlands in the face of 18th-century expansionist pan-Mushroomism.)
The later emergence of "Waluigi" is an ironic recombination of two figures from the same historical source, and may have originated as a farce parodying the Mario stories. (The name "Waluigi" is also conflated with the early Norman figure Varr Yngwi, who is generally credited with the invention of tennis.)
Wrong: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because she was Lord Byron's daughter.
Right: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because that was the closest you could get in 1850 to being a Super Mario 64 speedrunner.
This is how I found out that Ada Lovelace was Lord Byrons daughter
Well, yeah. That's why she received the unusual education which laid the foundation for her later discoveries in the first place. Her mother, Lady Byron, firmly believed three things:
It was her responsibility as a mother to ensure that Ada didn't turn out like her father;
Fundamentally, the thing that was wrong with Lord Byron is that he was a poet; and
The opposite of poetry is math.
Ada Lovelace's biography handily illustrates how well this theory worked out in practice.

I'm gonna be honest 'cowboys were a sort of itinerant warrior class common in meiji-era texas' always annoys me a bit because it's a funny post but also No They Weren't. They were an itinerant pastoralist class common in Meiji-era Texas. And indeed the wider western region of post-Risorgimento America
why are dudes in fanfic always getting hit with freight train orgasms. why not an orient express orgasm, classy and romantic. where are the shinkansen train orgasms? his orgasm hit him like the TGV atlantique breaking the passenger rail speed record. like the shanghai maglev, his orgasm was a feat of engineering but something of a commercial disappointment.
Don’t tell me delayed orgasms aren’t a thing
learning new things about the german rail system today
His orgasm was like Frecciarossa, supposed to be efficient and straight on point, and it was, many many times it was just like that, immaculately paced and getting you from one beautiful place to another. But there is always this lingering sense of upcoming disaster. You remember too well your first encounters with his orgasms: the stinky, too hot or too cold delivery, the insufferable delay, the orgasm that got stuck in the middle of nowhere cause it run over a wild boar, the orgasm that candidly left you stranded somewhere during high season 'cause hey, we replaced the orgasm with a bus, but dogs not allowed on board :D ... it is complicated, but deep down you know you kind of expect his orgasm to suck. So now that his orgasm is carrying you efficiently all the way through Padana Plane at 300 km/h, you ask yourself, is this expectation for disappointment ever going away? Or is it exactly what I look for every time we met, this dance around the possibility of disappointment? "Trenitalia apologizes for this orgasm". Mhh, say it again, babe ~~~

Hello, and welcome to my quick guide about how breasts-do in relation to arm + shoulder movement feat. scantily clad Jaheira. Who asked for this, you may ask? My conscience, mostly.
This is something I occasionally see misunderstood in artistic depictions of women - dreadfully leading to some core misconceptions about where breasts are supposed to sit at all times - and resulting in some truly head-scratching situations where the same woman's chest may seem droopier😱 depending on🤔 the way she's positioned🫨??? Well, fear no more! The mystery has been solved! You're welcome.
god firefly had it all. the soundtrack. the way every costume looks like it was pulled straight from a goodwill. zoe and mal's whole deal. the terrible chinese pronunciation. sex work being the most respectable and unionized profession of the lot. spaceship cargo hold full of cattle. "shiny." teenage girl with mysterious unexplained psychic powers. old traveling preacher with a mysterious unexplained past. chekov's compression coil. "pretty spry for a dead fella." wash's slutty little hawaiian shirts. kaylee and inarra's whole deal. mark sheppard is there.
once you notice the lack of Asian actors--not even background--you'll never be able to watch it ever again, tho.
(and this is coming from someone who was deeply involved in the fandom and wrote a genuinely stupid amount of fanfic, I can't even think about it without wanting to bang my head against the wall.)
And let us not forget the Reavers! The ones Joss Whedon straight-up compared to Apaches! (Or rather, as fulfilling the role that Indians filled in 1950s westerns.)
I saw that vid premiere at VividCon and you could hear a pin drop.
ETA: I really wish I had spellchecked my ElJay comment that ended up in the fanlore article that I just read in its entirety for the first time.
This happened when I told a friend you CAN parry Havel but he wouldn’t believe me. So he handed me the controller ITS LIKE HE KNEW I WAS THE ONE IN CONTROL T H E R O C K W A S A F R A I D
Havel really fucking sizing you up there he was calculating that shit like
if you're a pixel artist and never tried working with a reasonably accurate CRT filter I HIGHLY recommend it
i'm definitely reaching for colors and techniques that i otherwise wouldn't use
it feels a lot more sculptural
oh, and you can pull bullshit like this:
