Everyone please behold this baby tree:

It's so much smaller than the support posts, they had to secure it with caution tape.

oh so you’re telling me the guy had a 3 page handwritten explanation of his motives and mindset and a gun and silencer that matches the description despite it being a week since the guy was shot? hmmmm interesting

I think we owe an apology to the Americans, looks like at least some of the issues with their healthcare system can be addressed with guns

recently when im tempted to say 'i'm gonna kill myself' i try to correct it into saying "im gonna walk into the river and become a trout" or some other form of that. this is my new thing

[molabuddy]

btw this has graduated into me just saying "the trout population will be affected" and then not elaborating

[prince-luffy]

I truly hate the word "unalive." There are so many other euphemisms that fictional Italian mobsters worked so hard to provide you with and you just ignore them.

"Joined the great majority" is a good one that I practically never hear.

Bro stop it this a poem

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

[atalana]

summary for those lacking energy/means to read the linked page:

firefox has very strong anti-tracking protections

advertisers keep trying to find ways around those protections

instead of wasting time and resources fighting all the ways these problems pop up, firefox is trying to remove the need for advertisers to track you at all

if you have this setting on, and you click on an ad (it's only when you click on an ad and interact with the ad's website - it's not counting misclicks), firefox will make a note of it (this is only stored in your browser, firefox is not selling this part)

firefox then encrypts all that data so it can't be traced back to you, before sending those notes to people who count them up

the advertisers will then periodically receive a report that says "hey, x amount of people clicked on your ad in this time frame. you can use this data to decide if this is the right place to put your ad"

hopefully this will get the advertisers the information they want without having to tell them anything about your specific browser history

if this still makes you uncomfortable, the way to opt out is very easy (go to settings -> privacy and security -> web advertising preferences, and uncheck all the boxes)

firefox is out here fighting the good fight guys. they're the only browser that even slightly manages to stand up to chromium, but it's a losing battle - spreading misinfo is just trying to sink the ship

I need everyone to know that 2 months after I made this post, Shinzo Abe was killed with the Splatoon weapon.

If we bring this back, maybe we can make the funniest possible outcome right before the US election.

this tiktok screenshot ruined my life i need to see the serbian pigeon movie so so badly but it doesn't exist it's so foul to make this bad of a point with something so cool and then take it away from me.

[deseretgear]

Tiktok marvel fans really will be out here like "movie fan SHOCKED because i'd rather watch superhero movie #54 in blue and not a sensual 1987 french horror film about a man discovering his wife may not exist set in what is gradually revealed to be a space station" as if you're supposed to agree that superhero movie #54 is the clear winner in this comparison

[kirbymongerr]

Love the idea of a story about a complex issue that's told from the perspective of something that cannot comprehend or care about the issue. The way the story would be sliced up and moments that a human would consider pointless would be focused on because the pigeon happened to be there would be hype as fuck

[beardedmrbean]

[silken-scarves]

Ok FINE I made the movie poster of it

Mališa, otherwise known as Little One, is a pet pigeon owned by a conservative butler of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. She is loved, and she is pampered— until her owner is murdered in cold blood, and she is left to fend for herself in Sarajevo.

In the wilds of the city, she feeds from the poor, working nationalist radicals, and the vieux riches alike.

To Mališa, there are no ethical concerns. No politics. No burgeoning nationalism.

There are only hands that feed her, and hands that do not.

[headspace-hotel]

This is compelling. Consider me fucking compelled.

Final shot is the bird hearing, but not seeing, the sound of a .32 ACP pistol, and flying away in shock

"From the studio that brought you Goncharov...."

[sailorbryant]

My God guys we can't do this again

[eversoslightlybitter]

Yes, we absolutely can

Who would stop to feed a pigeon in war time and what does that say about the state of society?

Who tries to lure the pigeon with a promise of food only to turn and try to make her into food? How does that first break of trust change her reactions to humans?

How long until she doesn't trust any of them?

How long until she's stealing food instead of waiting for it?

How long until she's not a tame pigeon anymore?

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

The pigeon who has always had a clean and freshly lined dove box trying to build her own nest to lay an egg

🤌 the METAPHORS 🤌

Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.

#what is this???#i need to know#im so invested

Oh, this? This is the 2000 masterpiece Titan A.E., the master animator Don Bluth's bold venture into the world of Science Fiction. Boasting script treatments by the increasingly-famous Joss Whedon and the voice talents of Matt Damon, Drew Barrymore, Bill Pullman, and Nathan Lane (among others), it was also one of the first ventures of a fresh new sub-studio at Fox called Blue Sky Studios!

It boasted a terrifying premise of a future where alien invaders not only overwhelmed, but physically destroyed the entire Planet Earth--dramatically depicted in a trailer that ran before every single screening of 1999's Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Boldly fusing 2D animation with 3D ships, environments, aliens, and camerawork, it was a tremendous fresh step in the world of animated cinema. Creed's "Higher" was the theme song for the trailers and TV spots.

It made negative seventy million dollars at the box office, bankrupted Fox Animation, and killed animated films forever

[coffeeandspentbrass]

And it’s a terrific movie
