I mean, some people enjoy going out into energetic crowds.

You’re absolutely right that this exists. Thing is, most defendents explicitly waive their right to a speedy trial. It’s to their advantage to drag things out, generally.

Major cases moving forward this slowly is not unusual at all. It’s usually to the defendant’s advantage to draw things out.

Yeah I just think it’s kind of neat how the names of English pokemon are formed in a similar way to how they are in Japanese.

I think these are the same root? Pika pika is used to mean clean but it’s onomatopoeia for sparkling. That double word onomatopoeia construction in japanese doesn’t really have a direct analogue in English I don’t think.

Usually directly feeding animals is looked down upon because decreasing their fear of humans tends to be a negative for their survival, and it might impact their ability to forage for their own food. With birds specifically, though, putting up feeders is more mixed. Migration takes an enormous amount of energy and and human sprawl has removed a lot of natural food sources. And especially in wintertime, food can be quite scarce for birds. But at the same time bird feeders can actually be big spreaders of disease and I know that there was guidance that people should take down feeders at the height of bird flu.

Now when it comes to mallards, they’re honestly a species that is incredibly urbanized already, so I don’t think directly feeding them is doing a great deal of harm.

Pika is pronounced “pie-kuh” generally. Pikachu comes from pika pika (japanese onomatopoeia for “sparking/sparkling” usually with the connotation of clean) + chuu (sound a mouse makes/squeak).

Yes, I’m pretty sure this is a fake gift box that The Onion used to sell.

Same as the first picture but fatter.

They were all pretty solidly MAGA when I looked.

Hm, I can’t remember the name of it, but I do recall some discussion about why smiles look fake with regard to “hide the pain harold”. The conclusion seemed to be that it’s just how his face is.

Yeah I agree, way too little detail in this article.

The comments on that article gave me cancer.

She basically said “schumer is a symptom, the real problem is the party itself, we need to primary people and get them out.” Not sure how that’s spineless.

Crazy that words have meanings.

No? I don’t like Megyn Kelly but that’s not how logic works. You’ve neither shown that she’s engaged in intercourse with minors nor shown that she has any attraction to minors.

If it makes you feel better, I have no idea who that is because I was already an adult when it came out and had no desire to see it.

Doesn’t take a lot of observation to see that small rodents are in fear of just about every encounter, largely because that’s what keeps them alive.

and let the birds, mice, etc… live without fear.

LOL, that’s not really how mice and small birds work.

Was he eating the cheezits or the box though?
