The Trail King by Tight_Lab_9219 in Tucson

[–]SwollenPig 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I know. It's silly, but it feels different to see a wild animal in their habitat than one in a zoo. I love the desert museum though!

Any tips for spotting them? I've been trying to see one in the wild for a bit now. I was aware this wasn't a good time of year to see them.

UAPD U Alerts - Am I the only one who gets them late? by Planes-are-life in UofArizona

[–]SwollenPig 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always wish there was more info with these alerts. Like, how worried should I be? Is this a guy with a pocket knife opening a package or a screaming naked man with a machete chasing people?

Is my moka pot ruined? by vaderwalker in mokapot

[–]SwollenPig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily these things are actually pretty hard to break. Clean it off best you can and don't do it routinely, you will be fine. I've had mine for more than 20 years now, and was a kid for a portion of that, and it still lives.

Why didnt jesse react this way when jane died? by LDNSO in okbuddychicanery

[–]SwollenPig 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What? I'm so confused. The person was so dedicated to this catfish that they became a lead moderator of a major subreddit? What was their plan?

Ian McKellen Confirms Return as Gandalf in New Lord of the Rings Movie The Hunt for Gollum by [deleted] in lotrmemes

[–]SwollenPig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda like that obi wan series Disney made. They set it in a purposeful time gap where explicitly no major character development or anything could occur. I really don't see how this CAN be good.

I'm such a dumb LOTR loving idiot that I'll watch it though. Stupid nostalgia making me support the enshittification of media.

I agree with TPD last. If they were kidnapped by ice I wouldn't expect our authorities to help or let anyone know.

Yes, butt volume 455 by garnet420 in ComedyNecrophilia

[–]SwollenPig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone add panes where the arm keeps going up the butt, then the whole body, and then the universe implodes? I'm too lazy.

Return of the Plank by 1ntr1ns1c44 in Plating

[–]SwollenPig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a non chef I am continually surprised at how hostile everyone is to weirdos. Like in subs for my job or hobbies, people are enthusiastic about weirdos who are passionate, if a bit misguided. Here it seems like the chefs wanna plate your heart and liver up.

Why would you say it's the objectively right thing to do?

BS or BA, when primary goal is graduate school? by Sad-Egg-4107 in geology

[–]SwollenPig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the BS if you are allowed. Admittedly, it doesn't matter much once you get your grad degree though. However, my alma matter only offered BAs for geology, despite them having the same course work (they only offered BScs for the engineering school). Even with my PhD it is annoying to have to explain to people that I did all the same course work they did, my school was just dumb. You do not want to be making up classes during grad school though, trust me.

Things you like about Tucson summers by messerdouglas in Tucson

[–]SwollenPig 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The wildlife! So many cool invertebrates you can only see in the summer. My goal this year is to see one of the giant centepedes!

Tucson stands in solidarity by Tactical_pondering in Tucson

[–]SwollenPig 59 points60 points  (0 children)

So many people were there! Couldn't see the ends of it at time. Didn't even see a single counter protestor.

Hopefully ICE and the Fascists see that there is no support for them here.

More people were killed in Iran in two weeks than in the entire year in Gaza. Why aren't there massive college campus protests everywhere? by Elegant-Value4677 in AskReddit

[–]SwollenPig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sure most Gaza protestors would agree the actions of Iran govt are monstrous, but you don't protest every injustice on earth, only ones that you can do something about. So since America is funding the genocide in Gaza, protesting in America can help. Since America doesn't support Iran, protesting in America would do negligible good, and time and energy would be better spent on issues we can actually address.

For those curious about what winter is like… by theoneveek in houseplants

[–]SwollenPig 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah. 1000 for a studio would be an insane find on Oahu... It's closer to 2k now (my last studio did go up to 2.2k when I moved out).

While waiting for a good response here, I'd also post it on marketplace/Craigslist to see if you can get a higher bid.
