Oddly enough I'd feel safer driving a motorcycle than riding a horse.  It's just a natural instinct to keep a safe distance from large, potentially dangerous animals.... I went to a horse farm in Kentucky once (this was Dad's idea; I never would've went on my own), and I just kept thinking there's no way; I'm just fine as long as they're on the other side of the fence there.  You can never be 100% sure what an animal is going to do in the next few seconds.... better to be safe than sorry.  No one wants to learn the Christopher Reeve lesson the hard way.
 
ha, that reminds me I used to record all those "When Animals Attack" shows on Fox back in the 90s...  it was always hilarious to see people "learning the hard way".  
That story of the legendary Travis the Chimp was a good one too--- there's no way I would've gone to a friend's house to help with their chimp that is currently off his meds...hell nah you're on your own with that problem, bruh.  Travis literally tore that woman's face off.  

only motorcycle i would ever ride.
is the tron legacy bike.

Zatalcon be jerking it to that titty 

No horses or motorcycles for me.
 
After what happened to Christopher Reeve and Darryl "Chill" Mitchell,   nah broseph.
 
I realize any mode of transportation can be deadly , but I'll take my chances with planes and cars.
 
An organic creature that can get scared at the most inopportune time is scarier.
I feel safer with 4 wheels and a roof over my noggin.

Has anyone here ever seen something that *might* have been an odd supernatural thing?  UFOs, or ghosts, etc. etc?  Unfortunately I've only seen 2 things in the sky that might have been something (not a plane or helicopter).  Unfortunate thing there is that now in the age of drones being a common, easily affordable thing... a lot of "UFO" sightings will just end up being people who didn't realize it was a random drone some dude got from Best Buy.
 
There's 1 time Mom told me we both saw something unusual (not a plane or helicopter, and quiet) in the night sky but I don't remember it....and she still jokes about how they must've erased your memory like the MIB guys with the memory-wipe tech.
 
*helicopters----such a death trap, imo...someone would have to pay me to even consider being on one of those contraptions.  If a helicopter trip goes wrong in any way, that's in you and the others on there are absolutely dead in the next few seconds.  Fuck THAT.
 
There was also that time when I was a little kid (probably just 3 or 4) and saw what I considered the "boogeyman"... it recently hit me that what if that was a real "entity", and since a kid gets told early on about the "boogeyman" it just gets labeled as that.  Of course it's likely it could've just been recurring nightmares at the time; it's fascinating to me that dreams can feel just like "reality" as they're happening.  I still remember how it looked (basically a glowing, ghostly humanoid apparition; a bit yellow in color); could be an interesting monster for a story if I ever stopped being lazy about creating and publishing something.  
 
Hotness Alert:
*NCIS New Orleans is on ION right now---and this episode [s4, ep. 3] has one of the classic CW smoke-shows ---Cassidy Freeman as Eva Azarova.  Cassidy was "Tess Mercer" from Smallville.

That reminds me of a great lifehack I discovered that I have been meaning to share with the world:
 
Always, always make the woman you are in a relationship with believe deep in her heart that she is much better at Tetris than you are.
 
It doesn't matter if it's true or not- the person who is better at Tetris is always on the hook for being the one who has to pack shit up when too much stuff is being brought on a trip.  You know, "because you're so much better at Tetris than I am".

WOMEN WEDNESDAY: height edition
 
 

I've never used an AirBnB, but from what I've heard, they USED to be way cheaper/more accessible than hotels. That's why the service blew up. But like everything, popularity ruined it. Nowadays I hear all the time about extra fees the renter imposes that make the Hotel a cheaper option, even if your pocket is hurting.

ah, more tasty footage of trashy attitudes and behavior... if this is for real, how did it not end in a fight though?  It seems like a person would quickly get their ass BEAT for some shit like this... show up at their house and just stay there?  
*It's also one of the reasons the whole "airbnb" concept is incredibly strange to me....from either side; as a guest I'd never want to stay at a random person's house when I could've had a nice hotel room instead like a normal person that can afford it....and I certainly wouldn't ever want a random stranger staying at my place, not even as a paying guest.
 
...and this reminds me... that's also why I'd avoid that scenario of a deadbeat friend at all cost---y'know, when they're like "aye man, can I stay with ya until I get back on my feet!?" ----Nah.  The problem there is that it could easily lead to a similar situation like what we see here---where the "it's just for maybe a few days or weeks" turns into months and years.  Nah, fuck that.  

heh, sometimes the greed just takes over.... that extra power....it is just too delicious.  The temptation is strong. 😆
 
That thrill adds a little extra for the experience too... like "will our hero make it!?  Let's see what happens, folks!"
 
Next time I get into Dracula's castle I'm NOT taking the cursed chest though, so I can actually get through the place.  The last 2 times, I died because of the curse.
ah, if only I had tomorrow off as well... I could get a few more runs in; this wonderful game has been one of the most addictive I've ever played.
 
*man, this reminds me of something I miss from the pre-pandemic days....taking Switch with me to work on a daily basis; so most of the time on breaks and lunch (or at my desk if the system went down) I was at it yet again with Dead Cells, in the lounge area or the general break room; always a good time.  
 
whoah----so on Caverns I just saw a amulet that is level XII with 4 points! ....but it was on Brutality while I have a Tactics build, of course.  I've never even seen an amulet like that before with 4 stat points on one thing like that...mannnn if only that could've been on Tactics just now...
 
HOLY SHIT I did it!!! This was insane...
I made it to the Giant on 4 cell...but all potion charges were gone. I got hit by one of the big ox looking enemies in the level so I was down to less than half health. Just before the Giant fight, I switched passives to include "disengagement" for that 5-second shield if I got hit and went down to 15% or so health... which indeed happened so that shield saved me....as I was also hit into the lava area so with the invincible barrier I was able to get back to the platform....and I went on to actually kill him with 761 hp out of 5067 total. 🤣  I can't believe this shit, man.... I was already thinking like "nah this is a wrap here...there's no way..."  So, just like that, the 5th boss cell is now mine.  
I was in such a panic there; disengagement shield had activated and I had nothing left; 1 more hit and obviously it would have been over....I was scrambling to do as much damage as quickly as I could before the fight got even more ridiculous, because that battle definitely gets worse as time goes on.  I had a killer synergy with 2 of my weapons/items doing 80% bonus damage to poisoned enemies, and another thing was causing poison for him.

I went back to my pc version of Dead Cells on Steam Deck...currently on a Brutality build for this run and it's going well so far, surprisingly on 4bc.  ...heh, one room I went into had an elite version of that enemy that shoots the energy ball and teleports....in a small area....right next to a golem and other enemies.  I backed out of that room SO fast.

 
**edit---and yet I still take risks anyway----I found a room with a cursed chest here in Slumbering Sanctuary... yes I could not resist and took the curse....
 
...annnd yep, a golem who didn't even see me at all did the magical long-distance grab to engage in battle with me, so there was no escape.  I knew as soon as he did the ground slam it would be over (that move comes out super fast) and that's what the deal was.
 
so close---I should've just kept going without taking the curse, obviously....because Sanctuary is one step away from the area that leads to the fight with the Giant, and I probably could've killed him with that setup, which would've earned me the 5th boss cell.

Double post, but fuck it 🤣
 
Why would you commit yourself to camera saying this shit? Oh my god. 🤣 Letting bitches know you're broke in two countries.

Uh, well, ackshually maybe if you'd read more Foucault instead of your systemically created dictionary that is grounded in classism and white supremacy, you would know the REAL definition. But I won't tell you what it is. 
 

The past tense of wake.

What's your definition of it?
 
It's bait because an in-group member asking someone they view as an out-group member to define in-group language, especially language that has roots in postmodernism and doesn't have an agreed-upon definition is always a trap.
 
Granted, Mandel fucked up by not having something good to say locked loaded and ready to go, but I think she'd have gotten similar treatment no matter how she defined it, because the word "woke" is a lot like the word "Marxist" in that you can ask 10 different people what it means and you'll get 10 different answers as the meanings are often vague on purpose, but especially so as more people glom onto it.
 
 
 

Bruh...when that that memoriam hit...

Looking back on this is both hilarious and sad.
 
I have never seen delusion like this.
 

I don't know if I need to respond with the WTF or LOL reaction to that MLK tweet.
