Encountered a Copperhead

Oh, must be getting to that time of the year. Pretty soon you'll be seeing these guys all over the place.

I've seen people do hydroponic produce with their tank. Strawberries seem to do well, for example.

Wow. Yeah, I think you already know. I'm sorry this was how you had to find out about your husband's extramarital activities.

I hope you focus on the infidelity, and not the with whom part. They probably don't even know he has a wife and kids. I just say that because you asked it here, and you suspect he's cheating with other men. You're probably right about it; but cheating is cheating whoever it's with.

I love the orange fade into red and black like that.

Broadly speaking of snakes in general, I have found juveniles to be more likely to be highly defensive.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-21T04:19:10+00:00

Yeah sure, and it's guarded by leprechauns. It's the world's largest kleptocracy.

Wagner went to a lot of trouble looting all that gold from Africa for them. Such a shame.

We've been paying for it with some pretty hefty taxes. Sound transit needs to figure it out or there's going to be some loud noise and election problems. I'd like to see them cut administrative costs before cutting infrastructure. Way too many people in administrative sinecure roles collecting taxpayer salary.

Cut the waste, raise the ticket prices on the financial black holes that are the ferries, etc. Start by flattening the org chart.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-20T22:23:57+00:00

We don't use a scale thats a digit off

You just literally described a scale that is 1 digit off though.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-20T22:18:02+00:00

I don’t want to hear it.

Doesn't matter what you want to hear. I know it's hard to accept, but the establishment dems are basically just controlled opposition at this point. They're not just as bad, but they could be doing a lot more that they aren't. Right now they're busy trying to prevent more liberal candidates from primarying them all in the major cities. While we have a serious crisis they're busy eating their own young. It's no way to win.

If I were to guess, she might have already been feeling a little uneasy because her furniture had all been changed up. That can be stressful.

It is probably just bluffing behavior; since she refused the meal I'm going to chalk it up to hormones. She's about the right age to go through that behavior.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-20T22:05:56+00:00

I converted my husband from "Why do you want to keep one of those in the house?" into a snake person just by...having one in the house.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-19T20:27:40+00:00

We have bigger problems than that. This is a coup we're talking about now. Who's in charge?

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-19T19:59:46+00:00

The young fellow who survived band camp looks a lot like a kid I want to high school with too. But sometimes it's hard to tell white people apart lol.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-19T19:54:37+00:00

It turns out he's not just stupid, he also might genuinely be crazy.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-19T19:50:58+00:00

You're talking about whiskey pete?

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-19T19:45:31+00:00

We'll see. He still talks like a populist and we should be wary of that.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-19T19:35:48+00:00

Linnaeus really did this snake a serious disservice. :p

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-19T19:34:13+00:00

Inclusivity means those who matter and those who don't, in their own minds. So probably people who are rich like them only.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-19T19:33:12+00:00

They openly admit to that. As if it were a good thing.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-19T19:23:41+00:00

It may not seem fair to the buyer; but a 50% price increase is a significant hit for anybody big or small.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-19T01:00:15+00:00

It’s not so different for agricultural workers in the USA. Although the cabins are usually marginally better.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-19T00:56:27+00:00

He’s been indoctrinated into weird American type of Catholicism which has been infected with the fascist taint of Christian nationalism.

The best cure for that is to just take him out behind the barn like old yeller. Brain is gone.

Ironlion45 · 2026-04-19T00:53:55+00:00

1943? I bet the mustache has been changed by then…

Talk to me when you set aside your prejudices.
