The OP said “get airborne”. Controlled flight was not part of the discussion.

I am very certain that most animals can get airborne, even for prolonged periods of time,when reaching high enough speed. The trick lies in accelerating them to sufficient speed. Safe landing and deceleration can also pose a problem.

funnily enough I always found the tiles to be harder to read. For me ASCII is clearer on what the enemy is and how dangerous it is. Always been a huge ASCII fan so maybe that colors my opinion.

Firstly it’s a swan. Secondly the swan fucks you.

It is a variant of Leticia

I am gong to make a broad, sweeping statement that will ignore lots of individual cases.

Main reason is Improper Socialisation. Those dogs have learned to understand and trust humans but had limited, and in the cases where they quickly get aggressive, often negative contact to other dogs.

They have lived their whole life with humans. Humans are safe, predictable and understandable. They learned to read humans. This is in fact the main trait we bred dogs for this last ca. 40.000 years.

But because they have not really learned to interact with other dogs they get insecure, because these unpredictable things are running around. They are sometimes loud, oftentimes hectic. This insecurity can then change to aggression if the dogs see no other way out of the situation.

I am ignoring personality right now, as individual dogs will react differently under the same circumstances, but the first reaction of most dogs will be to get out of a perceived threat. First by signaling via posture, eyes, ears and tail then by running or warning it of. It takes a lot of training, known or unknown by the owner, to get a dog to the point where it reacts violently as a first choice.

Take a toothpicks and carefully break it in two halves. Ideally you are left with something about half as wide as the original pick. You want thin and sturdy pieces to get into the port. Now carefully scrape the lint and dirt out of the port. The dirt tends to compact on the bottom, so you have to scrape a bit to get it all out. I would recommend to do it in direct sunlight to better see the interior of the port. Torchlights usually are either to bright on the spot or to dim.

Works like a charm.

Did you try turn of the computer? Maybe by a power strip with an on-off switch for it?

but how can I achieve this smug feeling of superiority and self-satisfaction if I can not gatekeep stuff?

Saturday is for the chores that I didn’t do during the week, but Sunday I do absolutely nothing that even looks like chores, except cooking and cleaning up afterwards. One day per week is just free time and no one should feel bad about that.

Nah, he is just gaslighting overwhelming everyone. Tons of insane and insulting shit to occupy the media and people, so that he can pull all the stunts he he wants. Drowning everything in noise so that no one knows what to focus on anymore.

Don’t get me wrong, he is batshit insane bud there is a certain method to his madness.

Edit: Looks like I was using ‘gaslighting’ incorrectly.

That’s actually great. Now it can watch what it eats.

So you want to send those undesireable people somewhere else? Maybe to conserve your way of living?

Which means that OP used factoid correctly.

Concerning angels there is only one important rule.

DO. NOT. BLINK.

Grafiti can be art, but even when skillfully executed it is still vandalism if the owner of the facade did not aquiesce.

Great situation with the rising cost of food. Now we can just start cooking those giant rats.

Nah, but when an older, more experienced person empathically tells you that your idea is shit you might abandon it. After all when you try to keep an open mind and consider criticism of your ideas you are vulnerable to this kind of attack. Especially if you are low on self confidence.

Might be whoosh on my side, but the article was published on April 1st.

“Metallica are a boy band.” was not a take I expected to find today, but I think I know exactly the right people to annoy with this.
