Poor Unfortunate Souls from the Little Mermaid. Pat Carroll’s key is perfect for dudes and this song is great to ham up. I also go with Let’s Dance by David Bowie and Rock Lobster by the B52s when my wife is there to duet

What happens when the wind blows hard

George Lucas’s first movie. It’s pretty remarkable. They also keep everyone perpetually drugged up, strip everyone of their identities, and prohibit sexual relationships. The police robots will stop chasing you when it stops being cost effective, though

THX 1138. The police robots force us to build them and beat us if we don’t. We have no idea who controls them.

Definitely depends on the animal. Most jurisdictions do have laws against abusing common domesticated animals

What would you think the police or social services could do? They aren’t describing any criminal behavior, and they seem to be an adult with capacity, so I think both agencies would respond, take a look at the situation, then do nothing. Then they’d prob suffer retribution from their family

What is your plan for yourself? You’re taking online classes, what is your end goal? Can you get a job right now? The reality is that you cannot depend on these people. They may be supporting you now, but that could end at any moment on a whim.

Your plan should be to figure out what independence looks like for you and figure out the fastest way to get there

Totally almost picked Headhunters because of Watermelon Man! There’s nothing like it. Herbie occupies a different plane of existence

Future Shock by Herbie Hancock. Dude released like 25 jazz and funk albums over two decades, then in '83 just drops a hip hop bomb

Rockit

Also, Dr. John - The Night Tripper. 60s psychedelic New Orleans perfection

Great pics! No pics do justice to the coast redwoods though. Absolutely magical place. I learned when we were there that Crescent City got wiped away by a tsunami in the 60s

Postosuchus is terrifying. Imagine a 20 ft (6 m) alligator with long legs that can run long distances. They think it might have even run upright on its hind legs. Alas, not a dinosaur

Therazinosaurus. What even is this thing? Look at this big pokey boi:

Breville toaster oven gang rise up. It has pretty much replaced my gas oven, which I’ll only use in the rare instance I’m cooking something that won’t fit in the toaster oven. Best money I ever spent

We spent a week in Istanbul about 15 years ago and had an amazing time. We made sure to learn some basic Turkish, but probably 75% of people we interacted with spoke English. It’s such an amazing city with decent public transit, great hospitality culture, and unparalleled history

Whoa, you weren’t joking

People whose employers retain a Microsoft contract

This…is real…

Been following your trip on here, seems incredible!

Fyi spider monkeys are native to Central and South America, you likely saw something different, unless they have an invasive population

There’s an entire ecology happening in your mattress, too.

Mites, bacteria, and fungi, oh my!

Yes
