Check out the book Endless Forms. It’s an interesting exploration of types of wasps and hornets.

Also, the last house I lived in had wasps and yellow jackets all over the yard. I only got stung twice, both times by yellow jackets, because I once mowed their nest, and another time when my dog stuck his whole head in another nest.

Currently trying to get accepted to an electrical engineering program. But it’s tough after being away from school for so long

Big fan of the billionaire crushing machine

I hate the existing copyright system and would love to see it contested.

My brother in Christ, they’re literally contesting it

Guilty as charged. I’ve played hundreds of hours of souls games and all I know about the lore is that souls are money

Oh I see. When I said it, it’s because I thought that meant we were safe from this movement continuing to exist. But you’re right, it’s definitely more about being prepared for that death struggle

That is almost verbatim what I told myself leading up to 2016. And here we are.
