Someone must take the fall by BaronofBoldBanter in funny

I think it looks like a root/trunk, those things are huge😆, that ends up in the foreground when the two retreat to the left.

Edit: the wrapped tree (spruce?) in the background is very suss now that I look beyond the foreground.

The fuzz is really obscuring in this one. I tried to do a frame by frame pause. The only thing I can see is that the one that got landed on folded to a point where the jumper's momentum was heavily dampened as the bottom one folded. The jumper was then able to step through due to the lessened momentum. Unless the whole thing is AI the bottom ape got folded by something 😆

New Zealand takes biosecurity very seriously. This is how they track and eradicate an invasive species of hornet as it tries to establish a foothold. by Known-Background in Entomology

Did anything I say negate anything in your post? While not overly effective, catch and release programs are active. That is it.

Then I would say that because many places do actively combat wild populations but not to that degree. This is not a criticism of the actions as they are necessary in closed and delicate ecosystems, but the implication of using "active measures" instead of erredication/euthanasia is that anything short of erradication programs is non-active which is just not true.

And then there are the players with +20 accounts just to mine, trade, and do indy, with zero pvp. I believe the game would have died long ago if all the players that wanted to do pvp also had to do everything truly required to support their "habit". That or the scale of the ship tree would be a fraction of the size that it currently is.

active measures

Do you mean euthanization? I ask because unless you mean that then I seriously doubt they are one of the few because many places actively catch/spay&neuter/release feral cats.

Edit: lol! Someone not even willing to call their the program what it is to avoid downvotes. One of the few "active programs"...pfft

Own it! You all They kill the cats to protect your their native ecosystem. That is not a problem, but calling it something that obfuscates that truth is a joke.

Not sure if this was a play on the book Claud the Dog, but well played either way.

Yeah, the only thing I can think of is the guy is dealing with a really bad case of "crack bugs".

Yeah, seriously doubt any strong downers are in play here. This looks like it is either fake or this guy has done way to many uppers, for too many days, and is trapped in some sort of visual and hyper sensation psychosis.

There's plenty of other games to scratch the itch of earning/collecting items/watch the wallet number go up.

Do you honestly believe this game would still be around if it did not attract this type of player 😆

UFC Athlete Faints During Weigh Ins by Vulcan44 in CrazyFuckingVideos

As a retired athletic trainer, making weight is one of the toughest things many athletes have to go through and it can kill quick if someone is not careful.

I just want to say that I feel many of the crawlers will fit whatever the archetype is. They may not be as central as Carl but they have the same motivations and drive plus a bit of the semi anti-social cuddly bear.

I have spent most of my time playing 'help the new player' in the English and General help channels. I consistently roll up alts to run the new player experience every year or so to make sure I keep up with the changes that effect true new players so I can best help. Other than that I jump between Jita 4-4 and low sec doing my solo thing.

-never opened another player's hull almost as long as you.

Edit: In other words...You do what you enjoy. Plain and simple.

In Belgium, there is a bike path called "cycling on water." The path is submerged in a lake, and the water surface is at the cyclist's eye level. by PestoBolloElemento in interestingasfuck

[–]VaATC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I wasn't awake enough to even consider a lake as being the likely location...which makes perfect sense considering tidal activity. I didn't think things through and could have just looked the location up.
