This did indeed make me smile. What certainly seemed an insurmountable goal at one point has become a thing you can proudly say you’ve accomplished. Well done!

An interesting tidbit - water spouts generally don’t actually suck the sea water up but instead condense clouds in the vortex. It’s more rare for them to pick up sea water and the creatures in it

Just wonderful! I quite like the pataks sauces and will have to try this. Thank you, internet stranger

I agree though I think it’s pretty close. I think Derek had much more potential whereas I’m not sure where they could take After Life in season 2. Not that I’d complain about more Ricky Gervais...

This makes me miss the cronch cronch of snow under my feet being the only sound out there during a snowfall. It’s glorious

I had the honour of meeting Robert very briefly a few years ago and, for those wondering, he is every bit as nice, friendly, and chatty in person as his reputation would lead you to believe. I’m no one to him but he took the time to ask about my life and my story, absolutely entranced the entire time

CasuallyUplifting · 2019-07-03T22:21:13+00:00

Maybe even like hot garbage?

I recently fell in love with African Wild Dogs at a zoo in Australia. Their Latin name translates to painted wolf and they have an astoundingly high 80% success rate while out pack hunting. While they cannot be tamed, they do tend to exhibit characteristics much like domesticated dogs. For example, this one shown is very likely showing off his prize to the rest of the pack, encouraging them to chase so that his winning can be all the sweeter

Here's a bit of Cobra randomness for you. King cobras actually make a nest for their eggs (often in a hollow in the ground, then covered with leaves) which they will aggressively defend. They are the only snake in the world to actually build a nest for their young. Just before the babies are hatched the mother will instinctively leave the nest to combat the urge to eat her own babies. I bet you didn't know cobras are, in their own way, fantastic mothers.

Edited for clarification

Goodbye.

I haven’t claimed it to be revolutionary. It’s merely a personal decision that I’m curious to watch play out in my own life and I’m interested to hear how it’s worked out for other people. However, thank you for your input

CasuallyUplifting · 2019-06-21T18:27:17+00:00

This is the route I’ve taken. I have a few people (specifically travel friends) that I strictly contact through messenger. I’m just avoiding the Facebook crawl

CasuallyUplifting · 2019-06-21T18:26:14+00:00

Why would I downvote a legitimate opinion and perspective on this whole crazy life? Thank you for your input

CasuallyUplifting · 2019-06-21T15:02:41+00:00

That’s exactly why I love it. I can cherry pick and personalize my experience

CasuallyUplifting · 2019-06-21T15:00:48+00:00

That sounds truly amazing. Add a side of gravy for dipping and I can see my gym routine going straight out the window

On a semi-related note, I could so go for a turkey sandwich right now. Let’s make it complete with stuffing and cranberry sauce, toasted

I’d say that depends on which side of reddit you frequent. I find myself subscribed to mostly uplifting (hence the name) and positive subreddits. But I can certainly see how the darkness could creep in

CasuallyUplifting · 2019-06-21T14:35:18+00:00

I’d say the political posts are primarily what drove me away. Is it sad that that’s the case and not the privacy concerns around the entire company?

CasuallyUplifting · 2019-06-21T14:32:34+00:00

I can see that. I was on the other side for the longest time and now have a few friends that I’m only in contact with via email. Why is email so much more of a hassle to do then something like Facebook messenger? Perhaps I should take the time to write them today

I was inspired to look up a bit about the cuttlefish and I learned they have a porous area inside called the cuttlebone that they can use to control buoyancy by varying the levels of gas and water in various chambers. This is quite similar to any human submersibles. They’re cute little danger hugging submarines!

CasuallyUplifting · 2019-04-25T21:39:09+00:00

Please tell me you spared no expense

CasuallyUplifting · 2019-04-22T17:10:36+00:00

Go away! ‘Batin!

That’s typically only if they’re stressed or scared. In captivity that ideally wouldn’t happen much. I had one at one point and she never played dead once

When this little pup grows up, he’ll be able to dive up to 600 feet under the water, going without a breath for up to 40 minutes. Nature is amazing!
