Even good intentions can suffocate if there’s no balance. Too much of anything even love can overwhelm. Care without awareness can turn into harm. Love needs space to breathe. Nurturing isn’t just giving more it’s giving wisely. Love isn’t violence but unbalanced love can feel like pressure, control, or suffocation. The goal isn’t to love less. It’s to love with awareness, boundaries, and space. Healthy love doesn’t drown. It nourishes and allows growth.

[goldenagegemini]

You can’t force forgetting any more than you can force memory. Some people don’t fade they just stay differently. Love doesn’t erase easily. Forgetting isn’t an effort it’s a process. Some memories refuse to leave quietly. You don’t really “delete” people from your mind you just learn how to live without reaching for them anymore.

In case you've missed the most HILARIOUS trial ever So this singer Afroman (remember the great song Because I got High?) got basically swatted. Someone said he got pounds of drugs and a sex dungeon with kidnapped victims and the cops somehow got a warrant to fuck up his house and traumatize his family. Cause america. They found nothing, cut his cameras, stole some money and told him to go fuck himself when he asked for compensation for at least the damages. So he did what he does, he made songs. They're SO GOOD. About the one who cut his cameras, about the one who wanted to take the lemon pound cake, about the dude stealing his money, etc. THE COPS SUED HIM FOR DEFAMATION because they suffered greatly from the songs. Because people were sending lemon pound cakes to their station so you know it was rough for them. They had to sit their ass in a courtroom and listen to the full diss tracks in front a vibing jury and an Afroman in a psychedelic USA flag suit and glasses. One of the officers had to admit he wasn't sure Afroman fucked his wife or not. They had one of the cop's ex to come and testify that no, the songs didn't destroy their marriage, he did. It was a shitshow. And they lost. Some coverings of it, pick one:

vegans make peace with honey

no shut up do it

[calder]

vegans will pretend not to hear when natives tell them their agave products are unsustainable because they have whimsical feelings about, and i cannot stress this enough, the freedom of hive insects

[blackwashedmax]

Honey is literally murder but go off

[kasaron]

Prove it.

[blackwashedmax]

They literally puke their guts up to make your honey

[kasaron]

I have not seen any evidence tonsugges they are harmed or die in the process of production. They do regurgitate the nectar as part of the process to concentrate it into honey (an interesting process) but they do not suffer any injury during this process. If they did, the cost to produce honey, which is done naturally as a measure to survive over winter and through times of lower availability, would outweigh the benefits. If you kill several bees to produce enough honey to make one more bee, It makes no sense. Any animal that did that would die, even with human intervention.

Do you have any sources which suggest otherwise? I’d be interested to hear of this (relatively publicly available) information was false or misunderstood.

[blackwashedmax]

Bee farmers use whats called a honey maker. It’s a crude devices. It similar to a meat grinder. They force the bees in and grind them up. What comes out is a paste. That paste is later filtered into what we know as honey

[hematite2]

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read

[leonardo-nierman]

@zoologicallyobsessed please show us pics of your bee grinder

[gemstone-gynoid]

they might be falsely thinking about a honey extractor machine. but all these do is you place the beehive frames inside and a motor rotates it at a speed that removes the honey, which is then tapped through a tap at the bottom. 

[darkenedyeastextract]

…do they think they put bees in that and spin them around until they vomit…?

bad and naughty bees get put into the b e e c e n t r i f u g e to extract their honey

[bastlynn]

Vegans coming after beekeepers is one of my major teeth grinding annoyances. For many reasons, because there’s so many lies. And to go one step further because it’s such a waste. You see, the strongest vegan argument is that they don’t want to exploit animals or take from them without their consent.

… but… Bees consent. NO. I’M NOT KIDDING.

How? Bee hives aren’t kept on leashes. They’re outside, the bees can travel miles every day. They follow their queen. Who is also outside, not on a leash, and can travel miles every day. If she doesn’t like the hive for any reason - for example: it got too hot, too cold, too messy, too filled with sugary stuff and they need more space… then the queen leaves. And with her the hive.

The queen stays in the hive because the hive is the best place to live. Period. Done. End of. If the hive is staying with the beekeeper it’s because the keeper is doing their job correctly and keeping them happy because the bees can, and do, leave bad beekeepers.

Of all the animals we have domesticated as livestock, bees are the ones you can most easily argue are consenting participants in their keeping.

[night-dragon937]

bees will straight up leave if the conditions with the beekeeper are worse than conditions in the wild

[nevercure]

Always reblog because someone people are stupid and need to be reminded they’re stupid

[shadowoflightt]

The essence of veganism is something aspirational. I truly respect vegans because half the time, they’re trying to live up to a standard that’s higher than most people are willing to deal with.

The application of it however, is half filled by ignorance.

Like, this thread is great. Nobody is making fun of vegans, I suspect everybody here so far really respect them, but man the ignorance they sometimes display is like.. why… lol

[miscellaneousjo]

And so many vegans are depicted as trying to shove veganism down our throats (think ‘ThatVeganTeacher’), when in reality, majority of them are super chill about it. Like, “Yeah, I’m vegan. Want some vegan recipes?”

No scolding, no yelling, no judgment. Nada. They see it as a personal choice, and they don’t judge.

#a lot of pro-lifers fail to understand that late term abortions happens to women who wanted the child#but are forced to terminate the pregnancy because of issues like these or malformations or are life-threatening to the mother#and this behaviour is just causing pain on more pain#pro-life is just being sadistic and cruel 99% of the time for the sake of it

[teaboot]

and she COULD have chosen death. She COULD have chosen not to abort. She COULD have let her baby die slowly and followed after. You could choose that, too, if you had the choice. It’s not about forcing abortions on people. It’s not about making them do it. It’s about having a choice, and protecting that choice. So that people can choose.

Everyone should have the ability to choose.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW HOBBY!

STEP AWAY FROM THE TEXTILES!

YOU DON'T NEED MORE YARN!

THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!

[boyrot]

boy it's me the textiles speaking to you inside your head. you need the yarn. you need thread. your soul hungers to participate in the act of creation. you must feed it. you must buy so many beads.

[miaotronome]

Ok but seeing this post ten minutes after I started looking for miniature brocade fabric that I have no use for is kinda hilarious.

[annoyingchocolatebar]

Saw this not even 20 minutes after buying 4 skeins of yarn for a project that doesn’t need 4 more skeins of yarn

How come semi trucks in Europe look like “toot toot :)” and in North America they look like “HONK HOOOOOOOONK >:|”

@trainwreckgenerator why did you hide these in the tags

[digitaldiscipline]

This suggests that Maximum Overdrive was Jurassic Park for motor vehicles.

[cheesedemon]

I’m sorry, but that is misleading as hell. American and European trucks are bred for different purposes.

American trucks are bred for long hauls on largely straight roads. They can go for hours without a break. A European truck needs more breaks and a lighter load, and they would indeed take great internal damage if they tried to keep up with the Longsnout.

The European Shortsnout is not bred for looks, but for agility! They navigate the windy roads of Europe in a way that would be way too risky for the powerful, but more clumsy American truck. It is true that the European overheats faster at high speeds, that is the very reason that breaks every 4,5 hours are mandatory for both the truck and the handler and a day of driving can never be longer then 9 hours.

So, all in all, appreciate all of our trucks and our shared history, and be the responsible owner that gets the right breed for the right job.

[kedreeva]

To be fair, the US does have shortnose trucks as well, they’re just a breed kept mainly for very local work where, like the above says, they are working in places with lots of turns, shorter drives, and plenty of stops. I see them used for garbage pickup a lot, where a longnosed Mack wouldn’t be able to fit much less maneuver, and the short nose prevents them from getting rubs (raw skin or even open sores) on their snouts.

I would also like to point out that the tags have got it backwards. The wild trucks (which I’m pretty sure are extinct in the wild now) that all modern breeds stemmed from were shortnose trucks. We had known about automobiles and domesticated several species, but the truck species was not discovered until close to the start of the 1900’s, in Germany, which I BELIEVE was the first country to breed them in captivity, although England was the first country to really start using them for work. I managed to find a photo of taxidermied specimen

As you can see, it resembles both long and short nosed breeds, as well as the far more common house truck used by individuals instead of for commercial work.

As to the aggression, while the mack longnose LOOKS aggressive, they’re generally gentle giants (although please do give them space on the road! not seeing you in their blind spot is NOT the same as aggression!), it is actually the smaller house truck that is often trained by their handler to be aggressive: the keyword being TRAINED, they are also not naturally aggressive. The only time I have seen a mack be commonly aggressive is when they are pulling 2 gravel trailers, and I would be cranky if I was being overworked, too. If you see them hauling that kind of load, just give them space, and you’ll be fine.

[ub-sessed]

I feel like somebody should add something about the Australian variants.

[nudityandnerdery]

From my understanding of Australian wildlife:

[dreorzen]

Does anyone know if/how American School Busses are related to trucks? 

Pics for reference:

The classic long-nose schoolbus

But short-nose varieties exist, I remember when they first started appearing in my district!

[kedreeva]

@dreorzen While school buses ARE in the automobile order, they are actually part of the Van family, not the Truck family, due to their passenger capacity. As you can see in the photos, they have no cargo bed or hookup, and are not really built for object transport. But they DO excel at carrying passengers, particularly children (although certainly not limited to just children)

They’re known to be exceptionally protective of any passengers, and if you look closely on that second image you can actually see a specialized appendage that is (I think) unique to school buses- a small, red, octagonal fan, which they extend when there are small creatures around them that they are acquiring or releasing. Much like an angler fish’s bioluminescent bulb appendage, this fan (along with several bioluminescent patches on top of their faces and on their hindquarters) works to mesmerize any other vehicles in close proximity, to where those vehicles will cease movement until the bus lowers the fan. It’s super fascinating behavior, and little wonder why we trust our children to these gentle, protective giants.

[dirtydragonthoughts]

Don’t forget about the bus trucks.

While these vehicles can sometimes be bred by accident (after all, who hasn’t accidentally left the gate open when your school bus is in season), they are usually bred for specific purposes.

These hybrids are bred for both their cargo capacity and their gentle temperments. Especially in a farm setting, there’s a need for many different kinds of vehicles, some of which sometimes don’t get along. Having a vehicle with both the strength and capacity of a large work truck with the amiable nature of a school bus can be a real benefit.

It’s a little unfortunate that these hybrids tend to be sterile, though, since it would be easier if they’d breed true. Also, something to keep in mind… bus trucks are bred from a bus.

Truck buses are bred from a truck and… tend to not be quite as useful as bus trucks, although some people do like keeping truck buses for companionship and as show vehicles.
