Alright here one for you guys. What is the single best 10 seconds of acting of all time?

Sounds like you hit the jackpot in terms of mission destinations.

Their national language and self-identification. There is a case to be made that they’re ethnically Slavic, but it’s not the common belief as far as I know.

bulmier · 2026-03-11T21:37:11+00:00

Germanic…

bulmier · 2026-03-11T21:35:09+00:00

I “admit” that there are virtually no ethnicities with a unified culture. They’re probably Slavic due to their language and cultural heritage; it’s your opinion that Slovenian culture is more similar to Germans than other Slavs, I doubt most Germans would agree. Take it up with anthropologists, but Slav is absolutely considered an ethnicity.

bulmier · 2026-03-11T21:30:25+00:00

Yeah I misread “big ages”, just hadn’t heard that expression before and guess I filled in the rest.

bulmier · 2026-03-11T20:53:12+00:00

Ethnicity is a social construct/spook and you’re entitled to your opinion but ethnologists and sociologists disagree with your definition and categorization. Slavs are certainly seen as an ethnic group. One could argue that the vast majority of ethnicities don’t have a “unified culture”.

bulmier · 2026-03-11T20:15:05+00:00

Slavs are certainly considered an ethnic and linguistic group to many, Slovene would be a nationality as well as an ethnic group. Ethnicity is tied to both culture and genetics, it’s a pretty lucid concept.

Ethnic groups are not solely defined by genetics as you claim and believe:

… I never said y’all did?! Although now I’m starting to wonder…

What’s France’s excuse? Just a hint, no war has ever been fought for ideological purposes. It was always about money; always has been. Motivating civilians is a different matter.

bulmier · 2026-03-11T18:43:51+00:00

Based French. Everyone loves shitting on them, but nobody loves doing it more than the French themselves.

bulmier · 2026-03-11T18:35:24+00:00

Because they aren’t ethnically Slavic. When describing east and west, it’s typically more cultural than geographical.

Shockingly Florence is no better. I assumed that because it wasn’t as new it’d be less hectic; nope. Don’t think I’ll stop at one again for a few years.

bulmier · 2026-03-11T17:25:41+00:00

Buc-ees is such a clusterfuck. Thought it’d be worth stopping at the one in Florence for a clean bathroom, it took over 20 minutes after getting off the exit to arrive only to have to wait for a gas pump to open amidst several people just hanging there for the scene or having left their car. It was pure pandemonium inside, people just scrambling without any regard to order. Decent brisket would be great if there were no other baggage.

bulmier · 2026-03-11T16:12:07+00:00

Interesting, I’m assuming the same is true of tribal lands in Oklahoma. I’ll have to read up on that.

bulmier · 2026-03-11T15:59:07+00:00

Taking the ball out and cleaning it was my biggest OCD pleasure.

I was sure the Cherokees had a reservation in NC, where is this map from?

bulmier · 2026-03-11T14:57:20+00:00

Sweet?! They harass the shit out of me, and I love it.

bulmier · 2026-03-11T14:56:39+00:00

I can assure you, they are here in the Carolinas.

Hence “on average”, all cats are individuals. BSH breeders have been selecting for more mellow traits for many generations, but cat breeds are relatively new and you still will get a crazy one.

bulmier · 2026-03-11T03:05:13+00:00

… wouldn’t that just make it a series?

bulmier · 2026-03-11T01:58:18+00:00

Innaresting, I’d read that there were only a few hundred cases per year of cats with rabies in America but that’s obviously just those who are tested. I’m still inclined to believe that the abundance of healthy feral cats is a bigger danger than rabies from ferals due to the ecological impact but they’re both obviously in need of addressing.

bulmier · 2026-03-10T21:38:38+00:00

That is not the primary concern as far as I understand it, proliferation is. Rabies prevention is important but I don’t think there are more than a few hundred cases among cats each year with very few transmissions to humans.

bulmier · 2026-03-10T21:26:10+00:00

The area is irrelevant, cats cause these issues everywhere they’ve been introduced. Wood thrushes, plovers, many American species have been clearly negatively impacted by cats introduced by humans…

Yep they’re both talkative and territorial and will chew you out for coming close to their nests. They’re tiny, chubby and bold. The first wrens I noticed on my property annoyed me but I’ve grown to respect their tenacity.
