Mecklenburg-Vorpommern suddenly gained some very steep inclines, but this double-decker is bravely climbing the slope.

related to prev ask abt whether you were from scotland/northern uk where you said you're southern usa: you said "lord knows" in the tags and now im curious if that phrase is widespread or regional. like.. am i giving myself away when i say it? 😆

i fear we may be tattling on ourselves, anon.

hi, i was just wondering if there is a train that runs from burlington up to maine

I am thinking about visiting friends there in the summer and don't want to drive (gas money, eck).

It is possible to get from Burlington to Maine, but you need to transfer in New York and Boston. The route would be: Ethan Allen Express to NYC then Northeast Regional to Boston then take the T (Boston Metro) from the South Station to North Station where you can take the Downeastern to Portland Maine

I desperately need the Thrawn stans (specifically novel Thrawn Stans) to remember that Thrawns whole deal is rebuilding the Empire and fighting the New Republic.

I am watching all the Link Click endorsed CMs, Part 2 : Link Click X 小茗同学 Xiao Ming Tong Xue (bottled tea beverage) This CM is way shorter than the first one, but considering they have the LC characters printed on their bottles during this promo I'm guessing a chunk of the budget went there (the other brand is just a full CM, no fancy alternative packaging afaik).

Native English speakers, reblog/comment with some local slang from your area! Could be something from your state/county, your region or a country that just doesn't spring to mind when a lot *cough, cough* of the world think of the words 'English Speaking Countries!'

personally i imagine slugs are crow-smart while scavengers are closer to early humans. and crows are plenty smart!

Yeah thats a fine way to see it (and works well in game) When I say scav-smart I'm not talking one-to-one though, one of the big pitfalls we see with animal intelligence is really shortcutting animals based on if their intelligence reflects what we 'expect' intelligence to look like. A good example of these is tendencies to write insects off as 'dumber' animals when things like bees are fully capable of communicating complex information and wasps can do social assessments on 'much lower brainpower' than vertebrates. So for me slugcats are very smart little creatures and under the right conditions you can train or teach very complex topics but by and large their actual, natural behaviors and social dynamics are primitive looking! Which is how you get slugcats like gourmand who completely shift their behavior into something more scavenger-like for the sake of personal enjoyment, Artificer who not only has their mutation but can learn how to utilize it for custom weapon making, and then everyone else is pretty fine with comparatively simple tool use like batgrass or spears. Intelligence much less flashy than scavengers who enjoy decor, complex building and strong social dynamics.

Magikarp is one of the best Pokémon and doesn’t deserve all the hate it gets!

Okay I'm checking the gallery for peppino sprites and i gotta say I'm utterly enamored w the fact most of the idle animations are Italian gestures, even the one where he's biting his hand! Like that's so fucking cute I'm giggling and kicking my feet rn.

you know as someone from the southern US I am fully in favor of kiwi authors using the slang they want to use in their writing. I do say y'all on a regular basis and I hope everyone imagines my ocs with texas accents forever. all that said. to my dear friend carl who stopped "rustled your jimmies" from being a thing. I am sending you a bouquet and a fruit basket

Damn thought the scoundrel was german for a sec before i looked at the tags, because küche is also the german word for kitchen

apparently every time I don't know what to say on a conversation with my girlfriend I just go through the entire steamed hams skit how was I not diagnosed sooner. now that I think about this I've done it in the last 5 phone calls in a row?

i have to say the posts about 'artists NEED likes and reblogs :( theyll get discouraged from making art :(' are the least relatable thing to me personally. like if someone doesnt reblog my shit thats their prerogative and i need to deal w it
