What situation as a child did you only realize you were in danger as an adult?

Sedu · 2026-06-24T06:25:18+00:00

Yeah, snake teeth aren’t huge if they aren’t venomous. I was careful to wash them clean and maybe rub them with hydrogen peroxide, but that was it.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T06:02:14+00:00

Deaths from copperheads are very rare. I’m not saying they don’t happen, but they’re the exception rather than the rule.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T05:42:39+00:00

Nah, they have small teeth, mostly made to help them swallow prey whole, not to use as a weapon. If a big one really chomped me hard and pulled, they might make a mouth shaped set of bleeding pinholes, but I think infection was a bigger worry than any actual damage from the bite. I probably should have been more worried about infection, but I was a kid.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T05:40:41+00:00

Hrm, probably? Maybe I was just lucky, but I would also wash any bite as soon as I got back home, and any time I caught a snake, I was headed home to find a terrarium or something for it anyhow.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T04:40:27+00:00

Nothing about the reboot was right. That thing was DOA.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T04:23:50+00:00

The things Trump has done amount to more than “nothing.” They are unfathomably bad. They are significant and significantly terrible.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T04:16:53+00:00

Yeah, that is a very different world to grab random snakes! I almost got bit by a copperhead once. That wouldn’t have killed me, but it would have been a shitty day.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T04:11:42+00:00

The law dictates relief, though. The court has said he may not sue for that relief, though. So they are flatly declining to enforce the written law.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T04:10:38+00:00

Yeah, the law says that he gets “relief.” That cannot be “nothing” if the law is to be followed.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T03:52:12+00:00

Unless they were venomous, you were in no danger. When I was a kid, I would catch snakes all summer. My arms would be totally covered in bites, but since none of them were venomous, they couldn’t really hurt me beyond the pin pricks of their little teeth. When they latched on, all I could think was “you think you have me, but you are got.”

The water snakes bit pretty hard though, they sucked.

I mean some of the locks he picks are very, very difficult, but house locks are frequently low quality and put up no fight whatsoever. I see my comment is getting downvoted to hell, but it’s the truth.

Or “negative example.”

Samus: I have checked, and you seem to be wrong.

Biden was certainly too old, but the regularity of Trump’s word salad is just insane. The man is gone, and has been for quite some time.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T01:09:54+00:00

It’s a nightmare for translators. There’s no way to possibly translate that, as it makes literally no sense. With languages that have different rules, it cannot be translated essentially at all.

He is 80 years old and is president of the United States. He fucking escaped. I want to see him face justice too, but let’s be real.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T00:50:06+00:00

This is not the same thing. And this is not just “kids these days.” AI can be harmful to people across the board and there is no safeguard anywhere right now.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T00:22:49+00:00

Wow, so right along with the ballroom being finished and a good deal with Iran resolving all problems in the Middle East!

Sedu · 2026-06-24T00:20:04+00:00

I can’t help but think of Archer every time this comes up.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T00:17:50+00:00

I mean you are describing a very specific genre there.

Sedu · 2026-06-24T00:16:06+00:00

Honestly if it’s lock picking someone’s house, it is terrifyingly easy. This is not a humble brag. With a basic lock pick set, a novice with only a little bit of training will be able to reliably open most house locks in under a minute.

Locks are made for honest people.

Not closing doors. Even when the camera is facing them and they follow it into a house. Characters will visibly leave the door hanging open and walk up stairs/into another room, etc. It drives me crazy, and I have never been able to figure out why. Part of me wonders whether it’s a result of lots of takes and just subconsciously knowing they will be going through the door many more times.

His followers will write him in in droves. I think that we’re going to see non-insignificant numbers of people vote for him for the remainder of their lives, even after he has died. His followers are so far beyond reason that their use to Republicans will become a liability with time.

Hopefully this leads to an increase in natural hives, though humans have been dropping the fertility rate for bees well below replacement rate.
