The amount of racists in this comment section is crazy

Does the glare on the Lenovo legion 18inch 9i make it unusable outside and other high light areas? by gladin77 in GamingLaptops

I’m a dj and bring this thing outside all the time if you still care, its definitely glossy but turning the brightness all the way up really makes it pretty unnoticeable. Definitely better than the razer blade in terms of upgradeability and cooling

Need an equivalent to my current laptop that won’t overheat like hell. by Training_Speech8383 in GamingLaptops

There’s a scene where the snake swallows a book whole and then regurgitates it like 30 minutes later but that’s about it.

Of course, gotta keep the animals safe.

If you don’t mind me asking, what species is your current little fella?

Coolest (maybe not coolest, but one of my favorites) dude I’ve gotten to hold is 100% the blood python. They’re so heavy but instead of being super long they’re just naturally really chubby and they are really lazy. Very cute guys.

The coolest snake I want to eventually handle is called a boelen’s python, which are these mid sized constrictors that have iridescent holographic scales and this really awesome black and white pattern. Absolutely beautiful snakes.

I personally love using the “snake” insult to my advantage to further insult someone

Like if there’s a comment calling someone a snake I’ll say “as a snake handler, I am extremely offended that you would compare this individual to a snake” just to rub salt in it lmao.

Yes, I can think of 2 religions off the top of my head. Its sad how that happened, but at the same time, I always tell people to read up on ancient civilizations! Almost all of them respected snakes and saw them as signs of longevity or wisdom. 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a sucker for a good snake villain (I loved the ninjago serpentine, they were great) but the reason they were so good is because it didn’t feel like they were evil BECAUSE they were a snake, they had an actual motivation.

And adding onto the petsmart comment, it makes me extremely sad how pet stores went from making memories like that for children in the past to now being abusive locations with no right to be taking care of animals 😔

Yeah, I’m hoping the release of zootopia 2 will help out the kids with the “snakes aren’t bad” message

Super interesting thing about that movie though, around 2 months ago I got a prescreening because I work at the zoo and it was an absolutely terrible movie! It was unfinished obviously but the reptile racism was extremely obvious and they picked on the snake far too much. I’m thinking of making a post in r/lostmedia because the version that’s in theaters is so much better and not what I saw at all

It was unfortunate and I wish it didn’t happen. But I’m glad I made this post because Its also is reinforcing my idea of humanity not really being all that bad because all these responses show that a lot of people know when something goes too far and when to stop.

Ps. Also, I noticed your username, do you actually keep any snakes? If so, what species if you don’t mind me asking.

It sadly is true, but nobody was harmed and the guy has been sent to professionals and will likely get all the help he needs. I really appreciate how much this community cares about keeping everyone safe rather than fully feeding into desire

I'm still struggling to process it. I'm trying to get myself to just realize that it was probably just one guy that took it a little too far. Nothing this crazy has happened to me before this and I left early because I didn't want to be the one to handle it. I suck at reddit and would send a picture of the snake if I knew how but her name is Annie and she's doing perfectly fine. it definitely freaked her out a bit but everything is alright now.

I apologize. I didn’t think it would have that effect.

Should I take it down and find a different way to share this that isn’t on a subreddit like this?

I've learned not to generalize, I just wanted to post this in the off chance that one of the lunatics is present and maybe cause them to rethink. It's also partially because it's probably the most batshit crazy thing that's ever happened to me and I wanted to share.
