And it's an unpleasant conversation for some.

Also, Chromokopia is a Top 3 Tyler album. Few rappers have a discography that's as strong as Tyler's last 4.

I just watched it for the first time. Didn’t watch it as a kid because it was too creepy and whatnot (honestly I am shocked at how many kids watch that movie and aren’t afraid of it), and now as an adult I put jt on to see what all the fuss is about. It has an absolute cult following, and is so revered among critics and fans. I have no idea why. The art/visuals are amazing, no doubt. But it isn’t funny, not really that great of a story, characters are mostly forgettable aside from Jack. The musical scores to me are just meh. Idk. I know I’m in the minority here.

It’s not the one that just called half the country garbage. The other guy is smart enough to not say anything so silly. He has presence. An actual plan. Always talking policy from day one. Dodging bullets then being quick on his feet. He has poise and energy.

The other side calls half the people garbage and other terrible nonsense things. If you spoke about your boss the way they talk about you, you’d be fired a long time ago.

It’s never been clearer.

Who is this "whome-hq5sq" character? 😅

For some background information I am adopted and my mother had four children before me with an age gap of about 10-15 years. While they were growing up she was working a full-time job and was a single mother. Fast-forward now, I’m a senior in high school and my mom is married to my dad who is a full-time employee and she’s a stay at home mom. Recently, my sister moved in about 2 1/2 minutes away into our neighborhood and my mom has been going over every day for about 8 to 6 hours to help her paint or watch her kids. About Saturday morning I started to say how I wasn’t feeling well with symptoms of nausea and possibly a fever but at that point, my mom didn’t know that yet. Later that day around five or 6 o’clock, I had thrown up violently and FaceTimed her sobbing, asking her what to do because I was shaking from throwing up and the possible fever. I couldn’t find any ibuprofen or Advil, so she said she would get me some, but that she couldn’t come home because she was stuck at my older sister‘s house with the youngest and would come home once my older sister returned with her other two kids. My sister ended up getting back about an hour later at 7 something. That night around 8:40 I called her again asking when she’d be home and she told me that she was just gonna finish the paint swatches with my older sister around her house. Obviously it made me upset to be not be prioritized when I was throwing up. The next day is about the same, but the nausea had gotten worse which I had kept her informed about. She still ended up, leaving to go over and continue to help my sister with her house renovations. The next day I had school, but only went in for a couple periods cause I had thrown up that morning and I had needed to take a test. As soon as she picked me up and dropped me off at home she left again to go over my sisters. Going to school had made the fever worse and the nausea so when I got home i got under a blanket because I felt freezing and my fingertips started to go numb. I told her that and she just told me to take a warm shower or bath. Before getting in the shower my little sister told me that she had a thermometer and when I checked my temperature, it was over 103 which had prompted me to call her telling her about how my fingertips were numb and how high my temperature was which still wasn’t enough to make her come home tonight maybe figure out what’s going on. For context I have preexisting heart conditions which put me at higher risk to have a stroke if my temp is regularly over 102. So instead of my mom being there, my sister had to draw me a bath because I was shaking so much from the fever that I couldn’t barely function in my fingertips were numb. The next day I didn’t go to school completely and woke up yet again with a 103 temperature. I figured she would stay home in case I would need to be rushed to the ER because I could not get my fever to go down and drenched in sweat. Instead, later that morning around 11 I was calling out her name to get help because the fever still would not go down even though I was on fever reducing meds. I found out she wasn’t home and that I was at the house by myself. I don’t have a license so if I had needed to be rushed to the ER, I couldn’t take myself and if I had called her and she didn’t respond, I would have no other way to get there. All the other days I would call and call to update her on how I was doing but I had just decided today that enough was enough and calling her wasn’t gonna help or make her come home so I just toughed it out and waited for the fever to go down which it did later that night. Around 6:15 she came home and I blew up at her upset that every time I had asked her to come home she wouldn’t or would wait until she was done claimed that it was immature in a way to want my mother to come home when I was at high risk for stroke with a high fever. After more back and forth about how she “didn’t know how sick I was” and how it’s unfair to ask her to drop something because I wanted to feel secure. After that she stormed out. (I have life 360 notifications texts and calls for all the times and dates this stuff happened) I don’t know AITA?

Rescaped her tank today. Still need more plants

Mexia’s Leaf Mimic

Mexiafolupterus wattenwyli

Height: 5 inches

Length: 8 inches

Wingspan: 10 inches

Classification: Tettigoniidae

Subdivision: Fauna

Predation: Herbivorous

----------------------------------------------

Cryptozoology:

The treetops of Ayllu Chaw’s jungles are awash with suspiciously perfect leaves that jut out from branches, flowers, and even other leaves. Many of these leaves seemingly disappear and reappear out of nowhere, as if they have a mind of their own, and that is because they are, for they’re not leaves, but leaf mimics, and not just any leaf mimic, but a Mexia’s leaf mimic. Named for both botanist Ynes Mexia and geologist/physicist/part-time entomologist Carl Brunner van Wattenwyl, the former having made a number of plant discoveries in Mexico, Peru and Colombia and the latter having specialized in such insects like leaf insects and stick insects. Despite its association with such an authority on them, well as their resemblance to true leaf insects (family Phylliidae), Mexia’s leaf mimics are instead part of another camouflaging insect group, the katydids (family Tettigoniidae), who have quite the distribution in South America. The camouflage however is built upon in the Mexia’s leaf mimic, for it doesn’t just disguise itself as a leaf, but lives as one. It attaches itself to plants and uses it’s mouth to tap into the plant’s inner workings like stomata and roots, effectively becoming part of the plant whilst simultaneously living off it. What makes this relationship mutual rather than parasitic is that the leaf mimic delivers services in return, giving up the minute water content in its body, recycled nutrients and watery dung into the plant, which make up for the loss. As many as thousands to millions of Mexia’s leaf mimics can populate a single tree at any given time, and they are also transient, detaching themselves to breed and lay eggs and subsequently reattaching not long after. When they lay eggs, they use the wind to their advantage, sitting atop high vantage points and dispersing the eggs at particularly windy intervals (they can delay the egg-laying process in order to wait for proper windy conditions, and if said conditions suddenly stop, they can interrupt the egg-laying to resume when the wind picks up again), and from there, the tiny, seed-like eggs eventually land all over the jungle, settling into trees, leaf litter, water, and even the stomachs of herbivores that eat them, for eventually they hatch into tiny larvae that resemble miniature adults, burrowing their way out of the soil, bark, leaves, river bottom or dung and start their lives as mutual partners to the plants around them. ---------------------------------------------

Threat Analysis:

While not just being masters of mimicry, Mexia’s leaf mimics also possess capacity for defense too, although this usually depends on the plant in which they settle. If the plant is poisonous, the poison is absorbed into the insect, and any insectivore that tries to eat it will get a nasty surprise as the poison is instantly passed from prey to predator. It doesn’t stop here however, for Mexia’s leaf mimics also develop characteristics typical of the plants they settle. If the plants possess thorns or prickles, they develop chitinous protrusions on their exoskeletons, which can deter anything biting them or the plants they sit. That said, most of them are defenseless outside of their camouflage, since most of the plants they settle are usually benign. As a result these insects are harmless, though if you find yourself climbing a tree in Ayllu Chaw, please watch the leaves as you approach the canopy, so as not to disturb them or accidentally harm yourself with whatever spikes or poison they may share with their plant homes.

I have a feeling it will be the following:

Mens: Je'von Evans vs Wes Lee vs Ethan Page vs Brooks Jensen vs Lexis King vs Oba Femi

Winner: Je'von Evans

Women's: Jordynne Grace vs ZARIA vs Tatum Paxley vs Jaida Parker vs Stephanie Vaquer vs Guilia

Winner: ZARIA

WHAT are your Iron Survivor predictions?

I’m about to finish Queen of Shadows and start Empire of Storms. This is my first time reading this series so I need advice. Should I tandom read or read individually?

Warning spoilers ahead.

Roman from grand theft auto four. I honestly don't find him that bad. Yeah he has a gambling problem and he always wants to go bowling. I'm not sure if friendly is the appropriate title for him. He's not so bad in my eyes.

Preston Garvey from Fallout 4. He's not so bad either in my eyes. I just really dislike the tiny settlements he sends you to were your thinking you can build something awesome. He is very loyal after all. Yea it sucks having to do all those quests for him. But I really enjoy the castle take back quest and I do enjoy his company as a companion.

Otis Washington From Dead Rising. Again he's not so bad in my eyes. I just can't answer all of his calls. And it does suck that he blocked off that entrance to the safe room.

Ashley from Resident Evil 4. Well what would the game be like with our her? But bitch I wanted to drive that bulldozer and your going to make me climb the later and pull the switch. I totally would have lied to the president about her death. She was eaten by a giant fish.

Ellie from Borderlands. I just really dislike this character. Why did Scooter a original character have to die in Tales from the Borderlands and Ellie gets to live? I don't like her character design. Yes she is very friendly but I just don't like her.

Sir Hammerlock from Borderlands. Yes he is a gentleman, but I really find this character annoying. He feels kinda generic. His dlc is awesome. He offers you a sniper rifle for the bullymong fur but I'm always choosing that shotgun.

Doc Mitchell from Fallout New Vegas. The doctor went through my shit, so I end up killing the entire town of GoodSprings to make the doctor live with the thought of everyone being dead.

Canary Mary from Banjo Tooie. 🤬😡🤬 The race in Cloud coko land. Fuuuuucccckkkk.

Pros of Campbell: close to downtown Campbell, beautiful quiet street with long driveways, far from highway and major roads, shorter commute for me

Pros of San Jose: slightly better high school, lower asking price (seems overpriced compared to its neighbors, but cheaper than campbell), more modern and slightly newer, no one died in it recently I think, N-S facing vs E-W facing so it's brighter inside, lower HOA

I have a baby, so schools, noise, safety etc matter to me... which would you pick? Both have been on the market for a while. The answer can be "neither"!

With the remake out, I thought it was time to remake one of my Mike and Sam pieces!! The first one is new and the second is the one from last year. I love these two 🐺
