One of many waterfalls coming down Stokkfjellet. Doesn't seem like any of them have names, or at least none that I have been able to find.

Another of the waterfalls coming down Stokkfjellet. Very surprised that this one does not seem to have a name.

I'm allergic to crabs, I substitute old bay and the flag. One time as a small child I saw a sign for live crabs, and something about asking at the counter, and so I was like "can we go and ask to look at the crabs?" And they let us look at the crabs, it was great.

continually awed by how american states function like separate countries

I held back on getting my gender changed in the state of Georgia because it required filing a court case and appearing before a judge to prove that I had transitioned enough to warrant calling myself male on my documents. there was a strong possibility they could deny me because I hadn't undergone any type of surgery (a requirement under Georgia law that is waived only sometimes), despite passing as male 100% of the time.

this morning I went to the Maryland vehicle administration building and they had a touch screen with buttons that said "male" and "female."

I paused and asked the lady "I can choose male, right?" and she looked at me (again, I'm just some guy with a beard) (and I think she misheard me) and she was like "Oh! Do you want to be female now?" I said no, my Georgia license (directly in front of her) says female, they wouldn't let me change it, can I be male now?

she said to just pick whichever I wanted. I got my updated license in 5 minutes.

Just Traces Of Snow...

Last wintery snow left just traces of it on the mountain tops.

Why do people insist on fighting in pretty places? They should just duel with sabers in a parking garage like adults.

Even without the brakes if the elevator fits the shaft snugly the air will cushion it as it falls.

In addition, the way he got power was similar as well. To regular people he tries to portray himself as someone who will advocate for the little guy, to Christians he's a devout, and to big companies he's a fellow businessman. And then of course he gives a scapegoat to everyone's problems and an alternative to the current government overseeing a bad economic situation.

It’s uncanny how similar Trump is acting like Hitler. People are now doing the Nazi salute. They’re drawing the symbol. The KKK was seen in Kentucky asking people to join them. ICE has been ripping families apart. Companies have pulled back Diversity Initiatives. We’re no longer part of WHO and there won’t be any communication from the CDC at least until February 1st. We’re being censored and the news can’t be trusted. Thousands of Americans didn’t know there were protests against Trump yesterday outside the U.S. Quotes from The Handmaid’s Tale and Anne Frank have been compared to what’s going on right now.

According to The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Studies and Prevention the U.S. has officially been given a red flag alert for Genocide.

I’m exhausted but I will never stop being angry.

A description of Lord of the Rings by someone who has only seen parts of it and heard things from their sister:

Eye of ra

Goblin: riiiinnng

They're at the house and Hagrid.. no Dumbledore no.. opens the envelope with the ring then he gets and him and his friend leave. Then they see the eye of ra in the distance. And then they're walking and Dumbledore and Saurumon (guy with the long mustache) fight over how to use the ring. There's like eight rings right? Nine? Whenever you wear the ring you get obsessed and decay like Goblin. They're at the long bridge with like the dragon and then he's like "You shall not pass!" Then the dragon slashes his tail and Dumbledore falls. Legolas the minotaur helps them in the river when they're in the barrels by shooting arrows. Then they get ambushed by Voldemort in the barrels. Then they go back to the shire. They are sad that Hagrid (Dumbledore) is dead. Happily ever after.

Another version I've seen is to think about it like you traveled back in time from ten years in the future to do this, and now you get to redo these next ten years

So I just found the most useful photo album in existence for tumblr arguments

I see a lot about how peppers are upset because humans eat them for the thing that was supposed to prevent them from doing that, but capsaicin was supposed to help pepper seeds propagate since mammals couldn't propagate them, and we cultivate pepers on a massive scale because of the capsaicin. So I think that it was a net win for the pepper and the capsaicin did it's job, just in an unexpected way. Like, yeah, task failed in stopping mammals from eating you, but you did manage to become wildly successful because a particular group of mammals like the capsaicin.

I now own a khukuri!

I can never get good photos of the moon, it makes me sad. But then there are plenty of other people who can take photos of the moon so that's good.

For those of you who do not know, there is a crocodile moat around the president's house in Yamoussoukro.

Remember guys, murdering murderers is wrong except when the government says so.

Turns out the campaign is going to be a quest to kill Robomusk in a sci-fi setting.

I think I'm going to run a campaign where pretty much every item is magical and pretty cool but they're all cursed in some way, so it turns into a balancing act/find a priest. Or something like Bloodborne where you have to ration out the use of your powerful items but have to make do with weaker but less dangerous ones.

There is a scientific study that has the words "Age of Empires 2," "Elite Teutonic Knight," and "Two-handed Swordsmen."

This is an actual study on non-human warfare.

The last death of WWI I can find information on was in 2014, although there could be a more recent one. 2 Belgian construction workers were killed by a shell around march of that year.

The problem with WWI in particular is that they sat for four years on roughly the same lines, the shells were often duds (1 in 4 to 1 in 3), and 1.5 billion were fired on the western front alone. In addition to that you have the possibility of gas shells which are still very dangerous if the gas gets released. There are some areas of France and Belgium where 99% of plants will die.

And then there are all the other conflicts and the later you go the worse it tends to get, with mines and cluster munitions.

So, uh, yeah. War is bad but you probably didn't need me to tell you that. Some estimates say it will take 300-700 years to clear out the WWI battlefields.

So I started a game finally with more than five other empires in a normal sized galaxy and everyone else expanded extremely fast, so now I become terrified as a little egalitarian xenophile empire.

So now I have a navy 4 times stronger than the next strongest one.

I have become space Prussia.

Though I am shaped like Austria-Hungary somehow.
