    True. Unless you buy a house in a HOA, in which case the line for lobotomies is right there.

    Putting up Christmas decorations the same day you pull down your Halloween decorations is stupid

    Yeah but if having the decorations up for his wife will make her happy then he damn well put them up and everyone else can just deal with the decorations being up until February.

    Someone having christmas lights up on their house doesn't affect my house or me in any way. HOA's are evil micro governments full of people who give too much shit about the smallest things imaginable.

    Bad news:
    Sexist gas giveaway to bikini wearers

    Gone right:
    Men: Fuck it, Free gas!

    https://www.boredpanda.com/gas-station-russia-bikini-men/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic&fbclid=IwAR0YZFnTtYURN_j1Cs0jhGs22ZmtsUQk0R2OebUWVzzcO-IunGdmHC_qhw8



    edit: My absolute favourite part of this is that the promotion specified bikini's but virtually all the pictures of men have them in high heels or fancy shoes which proves that men like to be sexy AF too.
    If this happened in my city I'd be there with some platforms, cause these calves are killer.

    Unlike most climate endangered cities where inaction dooms them in decades when it'll be someone else's problem, Venice is doomed in that timeframe even without climate change. This puts them a lot closer to the tipping point, where inaction could mean doomed within one's term limits. Of all the doomed cities Venice is the one you'd expect to lead the cavalry.

    Read the article. Multiple animals have died on that airline because they've been mishandled and the cat was only 3 lbs over the limit, and was also already sick and weak and he was afraid the stress of an 8 hour flight in cargo would kill it which it almost certainly would.

    I don't even care the dude lost his miles because he was a brag.

    They're shitheads.

    Different airlines, 5lbs difference, he could have made a case of how ridiculous the arbitrary weight limit is, or changed airlines, he chose the stupidest option, and then posted it online.

    Like, he knew he was cheating, it was a whole planned thing, he pulled it off, and then he violently shoved his foot in his mouth, the airline could be two hitlers combined, but nothing in that articles makes me think that the guy is a victim.

    It's this goddamn need to brag about your crimes that I will never understand.

    Like do they think they're Zuckerberg rich and above the law/common sense? Just do not get this desire.

    If he had done it and not got caught, awesome. You sure show them and also maybe helped your pet; win all around. But when you brag about it, you have to expect a response.

    Totally agree, guy was a shmuck.

    But they could have been a LOT nicer to the poor cat. Everything about their limitations is horse crap.

    Also do we know he could have changed airlines? I didn't see that mentioned. If so he was a MEGA shmuck.

    1. Cheat the rules to save your cat from almost certain death by airline.
    2. Post about it on social media.
    3. Get punished by said airline for not letting them kill your cat.
    4. Sit back and watch the whole story go viral.

    I call that a win, honestly.

    The deathrate of animals transported in cargo by aeroflot is in the vicinity of some 5 animals per 10,000 animals transported (or about 0.06%). "Almost certain death" is a bullshit statement.

    I stand corrected; I thought cargo holds were still basically deathtraps :smile:

    edit: the "win" I was talking about is the bad PR for the airline. But I'm in the camp that thinks animals shouldn't travel as cargo on a commercial airline, ever.

    Bad news: Some idiot released cane toads in aus back in the 1930s. They are toxic as hell, and basically unedible to most things.

    Good news: Native water rats have learned how to flip the cane toad onto it's back, cut open the chest with surgical precision, move the very toxic gall bladder out of the way, and eat the delicious non-toxic heart like it's candy.
    They go after the biggest toads for this. While the toads are alive. For the smaller toads, they'll also remove the skin on the legs and chow down on the non-toxic thigh muscles.

    They might've learned from watching crows eat cane toads the same way, flipping them on their backs and spearing them to eat the nontoxic organs. Crows have been observed doing this for several years; I'm glad the technique is spreading.
