No problem!
That’s very accurate. I don’t mind handling tarantulas or furry jumping spiders, but shiny spiders of any kind creep me out. Bonus point for terror if there’s webbing involved. Hobo spiders are probably the worst. They’re so fast and aggressive. I still catch them and take them outside, but it still feels awful. The only exception to the mercy rule is the shower. Shower spiders go down the drain immediately.
Just because they didn’t have modern technology doesn’t mean they didn’t have any technology. They could have used Skype for videoconferencing.
I think it’s just a WWE match at this point. They’ll have a dramatic fight with some fake blows, and then go pick up their paychecks. They might even go hang out if there’s not actually any bad blood between them. They’re pretty much coworkers at this point. They might have real personal conflicts, but I doubt they’ll actually air those grievances with their customers. Too many skeletons, as others have said.
I think so, too. They all seem to have eight legs, more than two eyes, which don’t look like compound eyes, a cephalothorax/two body segments rather than three, a lack of antennae, etc. It would probably be easier to tell looking at them head-on so we could see their chelicerae.
Edit: turns out the pedipalps are more of a giveaway.
Man, I wish spiders didn’t creep me out so much. They’re very cool, but my ancient lizard brain isn’t having it.
Yeah, that’s what I was trying to express. Taco Bell is vaguely Spanish, but doesn’t have anything to do with Spain (or Mexico, for that matter).
It would be like an O’Brien’s restaurant that primarily sells sushi.
Still, that’s really cool! There’s something particularly funny about a McDonald’s in Scotland. It feels like a Taco Bell in Spain.

Just dropping back in to say you were right. I saw that Mamdani won the primary. Fingers crossed that this goes all the way.
The focus on Russia and Iran here is really weird from an ideological standpoint. Neither of those countries is going to support anything remotely resembling democratic socialism, much less communism. Is this just a multilateral geopolitics thing? Like an “enemy of my enemy is my ally” thing? If Russia were to achieve its goals, it wouldn’t solve anything. We’d just have a new imperialist, fascist, oligarchy controlling the world order. The only benefit I can see here is that the conflict might be a distraction that allows a third party an opportunity to implement constructive change. Am I missing something here?
Not me. I only post shit shitposts so no matter why people hate it, they’re right.
I have to know where this is. What resources do you require to find it?
Love your imagination. Tell me what the McDonald’s employees are doing to the customer’s arms.

We transitioned from the war on crime to the war on terrorism.
I don’t like the sound of that. Can we call it a “freedom launcher?”
Respectfully, I must disagree. I feel like children need a place where they can be free to unwind after their 16-hour factory shifts and maybe grab a beer.
Dystopian? The flag that waved over this?
Or worse, a McDonald’s in 1860s Mississippi.
For me, it was just a silly metaphor, but you might be onto something:
“Fasting is eating. Refusing is ordering. Salad is burger.” ~ George Orwell
“I have very vivid dreams and nightmares, and my biggest fear is of some kind of dystopian future where we’re advanced in every way except in our burgers.” ~ Bryce Dallas Howard
“Dystopian novels help people process their fears about what the future burger might look like; further, they usually show that there is always hope, even in the bleakest future burger.” ~ Lauren Oliver
“Who controls the past controls the burger. Who controls the present controls the past.” ~ George Orwell
[Angry ferret noises] as it sails through the air to its unfortunate target: the enemy’s unprotected pant leg opening. The devastation will be swift and severe. Many humanitarians argue it should be considered a war crime, but few if any superpowers are willing to risk total ferret weapon disarmament fearing it may upset the tenuous balance of power established by mutually assured nethers destruction.
Yeah, they could’ve done a lot better. I probably would have gone with a straightaway, leading to a wide turn with a steep bank, a hairpin turn, and then some chicanes.
