Hey!my boyfriend is thinking of voting for trump but he’s the kind of person that if you explain something with facts he’ll change his view on it. I’m really bad at processing/ explaining things. Do you think you could like give me a run down on why he shouldn’t be re-elected

And an article for your pleasure

got any cursed facts about falcons?? 🥺👉👈

compared to hawks, falcons have shorter and weaker talons and shorter beaks! this, combined with a lighter overall build, means that falconkind is really badly unsuited to do the hawk/eagle/owl thing where they just plunge out of the sky and stab a rabbit to death with their feet.

so what they do instead is fly really high in the air, keeping an eye out for unwary birds they could get the drop on, and then they DROP. and as they drop, they curl their talon into a fist, which they use to strike their unwary prey at speeds well in excess of a hundred miles per hour. (this either stuns or outright kills the unlucky target) 

and this method works so well that they can even take down birds much larger than themselves, like ducks!

so basically,

FALCON

PUNCH

[raptorsandpoultry]

If I may add, the fastest known speed of a peregrine falcon during a stoop dive (that’s what the “drops” are called) on record is 242 mph! This technically makes them the fastest animal on the planet (if you ignore the fact that they’re getting a bit of help from gravity). Keep in mind though that air rushing into you at 242 mph is no joke. In fact, all that pressure might obliterate any other animal’s respiratory tract, but falcons have bony tubercles (lil nubbins) inside their nostrils that are thought to direct the passage of air in such a way that they can still breathe during their dives and withstand the pressure.

This picture also points out another cool anatomic feature of falcons - the tomial tooth! This small but deadly notch evolved to quickly and efficiently severe the spine of, or cervically dislocate prey. Sounds gruesome, but works really well.

You’ll also notice that many falcon species also have dark feathers around their eyes - in peregrine falcons, they cover more of the face/head to form a “moustache”, but in many other species they form thinner stripes under and/or behind the eyes. These are called malar stripes, and just like the black stripes football and baseball players paint under their eyes, they “absorb” sunlight to prevent it from glaring in the falcons’ eyes when they’re out hunting during the day.

In conclusion, falcons are the coolest carnivorous dinosaurs that are still around to grace our planet today.

with all the trafficking going on y’all better stay safe!!

[plethodoncinereus]

It’s a good idea to practice this so you know how to do it in an emergency! You don’t even have to be strong (this guy is pretty muscular) to do it, it’s the force of the swing that makes them break.

Alternatively, if you’re being zip tied or tied up in general it’s a good idea to present your fists to the person instead of having them grab and force them. That way, you can present them in an easier to escape position.

Like these:

The tutorials I followed on this website were super helpful and show a few methods of breaking out of zip ties. It take ten minutes to learn and could quite literally save your life!

How to Escape from Zip Ties | ITS Tactical

Zip ties are a common method of illegal restraint. To defeat zip ties, you can break them, shim them, or slip right out of them. Learn more

While this technique is worth knowing in the event of kidnapping or human trafficking, and so forth, it will not work on police issue flex-cuffs, which happen to be far thicker than standard zip-ties, are double cuffed, and have a reinforced centre.

Attempting this technique with flex-cuffs will firstly cut off circulation to your hands due to the proposed need to tighten them, which is dangerous for many reasons when detained in them for a prolonged period of time, as once on, they will not be loosened until they are removed entirely. And secondly, will likely lead to you breaking your wrists as the force required to break free of them exceeds what can be generated by the over-average male, regardless of how strong they may believe themselves to be. Your best bet, if you can get to relative safety first, is to use the corner of a wall to wear the plastic center-piece down enough to break free.

Please read the last comment before you permanently fuck your wrist.

[walks-the-ages]

TL;DR : This method will work for normal zipties, but WILL NOT WORK ON POLICE-ISSUE ZIPTIE CUFFS

Do NOT tighten police-issue ziptie cuffs, as they are much stronger than household use zipties, and you will only cut your circulation off. Get somewhere safe first, and try to saw through them instead by running them over whatever is on hand

You heroes hurt your own families just to help complete strangers! You heroes pretend to be society’s guardians. For generations you pretended not to see those you couldn’t protect and swept their pain under the rug. It’s tainted everything you’ve built, that means your system is all rotten from the inside with maggots crawling out, it all builds up, little by little, over time. You’ve got the common trash, all too dependent on being protected and the brave guardians who created the trash that need coddling. It’s a corrupt, vicious cycle. Everything i’ve witnessed…this whole system you’ve built has always rejected me, now i’m ready to reject it, that’s why i destroy, that’s why i took this power for myself. Simple enough, yeah? I don’t care if you don’t understand, that’s what makes us Heroes and Villains.

Japanese tea bag maker Ocean-Teabag has been making waves by creating little parcels of aroma in the shape of marine animals. Luckily for us, their wide range of tea bags are available at online Japanese novelty retailer Village Vanguard, maker of such fine products as Space Tea and cat-shaped kitchen utensils.

Ocean-Teabag’s earliest designs included beautiful dolphin tea bags filled with blue mallow tea leaves. Steeping them turns your otherwise normal pot of water into a tranquil ocean. Proving to be a hit among tea lovers, Ocean-Teabag expanded their repertoire to many other sea creatures including the sea turtle (butterfly pea jasmine tea)…

the distinctive ocean sunfish (Japanese hojicha — roasted green tea)…

the graceful manta ray (tropical mango tea)…

and even a blood-thirsty shark (blended herb tea).

The newest addition to their robust series of marine creatures is a tea bag shaped like an innocuous sea cucumber. This little parcel is filled with jasmine tea, as well as a smidgen of sea cucumber powder to lend some authenticity. Ocean-Teabag warns that some people who have a sensitive tongue may find it tasting a little fishy.

The company also crafted a deep sea series that will satisfy even the most adventurous of tea drinkers out there. A few such examples are the anglerfish (earl grey tea)…

the creepy giant isopod (Eastern Beauty oolong tea)…

the horseshoe crab (white apricot tea)…

…and lastly the king of them all, the enormous giant oarfish. ( Delicious Assam tea of epic proportions! ) Just like its namesake, it measures a whopping 19 centimeters (7.5 inches). Drinking tea becomes an art when half of your tea bag hangs out of your cup.

 While the notion of turning your cup of tea into fish-inhabiting waters is not new, these tea bags will hopefully conjure up images of gentle ocean waves in your mind. 

WHERE TO FIND THE TEA

[lesbianshepard]

the funniest hp lovecraft story is the one where some guy’s family offended an evil wizard who then cursed his entire family saying that all the men would die before they hit like 30. the protagonist is going crazy trying to find a spell to break the curse and then the big reveal was that the wizard was literally just breaking into their house and killing them himself. 

[firstborn-of-akatosh-deactivate]

This is missing my favorite detail, namely that the evil wizard is named ‘Charles Le Sorcerer’.
