26 (80°F for the Americabrained) today here in Ohio. The trees outside my window always took up brilliant yellows and reds these past few years, but this year they too went straight from green to brown and/or gone.

We've been in a D1 "moderate" drought since August, so between that and the abnormally hot temps (it should be around 7 to 10 degrees by now), the trees are just flat out dying this year.

Usually around this time of year we would have had our first snow, but we haven't even had our first frost yet. It's been like this for over a decade now.

I know climate change has much, much worse consequences, but the fact that people are ignoring these very obvious signs happening right in their own cities worries me a bit.

Ohio repealed Sodomy laws and decriminalized same-sex relations 30 years before a very large part of the rest of the country did. It's sad how the chuds took over since then.

Ants are fuckin cool. I wish the egg layers weren't referred to as "queens" because it gives the wrong implication that ant nests are a monarchy and that the queen somehow rules them.

In reality no decision-making comes from the queens since ants will continue to dig nests, find food, and care for each other even without a queen. The nest just doesn't have eggs to replace them.

Ants are really closer to being socialist collectives than anything. Food is divided evenly (although queens do get fed more, but only for the biomass needed to produce eggs) even the tiniest bit that is found is shared among as many as possible.

There are still cars that come with incandescent bulbs. I own a 3 year old base model Civic and it still has regular light bulbs in the headlights and tail lights.

"You will become more conservative when you get a job."

Me after being steadily employed for 22 years: hammer-sickle

"You will become more conservative when you own a house."

Me after owning a house for 5 years: hammer-sickle

Unless by "conservative" they mean conserving against liberal and chud mindset.

And he dies in a painful, humiliating way (eaten to death by little dinosaurs).

Dieter's death in the second film (CW: cinematic blood) almost mirrors how Hammond died in the novel.

The only ASMR I can stand is the sound of food cooking/sizzling, only because it triggers an appetite for me.

Shit like whispering, fingernails clacking on hard surfaces, or plastic bags being crinkled... no thanks.

My city has a rail station right in front of the stadium and barely anyone uses it, not even during big games/events.

When I was 13 I shat on Backstreet Boys and Nsync after I discovered The Eagles.

I grew beyond The Eagles though and now I lump them in with boy bands.
