"Lol Quaritch is such a hypocrite he fell for the native crazy lady!"

Guys... Do you not know the lore of what she did to his brain when she forcibly hooked herself up to him like that against his will, with him not even having bonded with another Na'vi before, not even a parent?

She got him biologically addicted to her through the neural rewirings native Na'vi usually encounter through infant connection to their mothers, and then as adults with their mates for life. To make them feel safe and secure and loved. The exact needs stolen from him by his very unstable, lonely and affection-starved existence.

He had no choice but to be enthralled and crave seeing Varang again, even if it might get him killed. She made him see her as both "mommy" and "soulmate" emotionally, totally bypassing logic and reason, and threw his already scrambled brains in a blender and set it to purée.

There is no hypocrisy in that. Deck was stacked against the poor identity-confused sod from the start.

It wasn't really his choice to be with her. She's a parasite in his mind.

I couldn't find/ wasn't aware of a character meme for Warframe so I decided to make one to my liking! Featuring my Operator Goss and his main frames, second image previews/explains the template. Hoping to get a Drifter put together at some point as well. CSP/PSD downloads here, feel free to edit or treat elements as optional. Arial font, colors/decorations lifted from game screenshots. Feel free to tag me if you use it, I'd love to see everyone's operators!

Shout out to the doctor who responded with complete sincerity when I (on anesthesia) uttered the phrase “chat are we cooked” in her medical professional vicinity. You’re such a real one for that fr fr

vegans make peace with honey

no shut up do it

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

Honey is literally murder but go off

kasaron

Prove it.

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.

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

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.
