Does it matter if there's no punishment against it? If it were actually punished, it would be extortion but here we are

Trap or not, worth it

I mean it's ok. I wouldn't call it that great. I'd settle for pretty good egret

Edit: speaking of the bird specifically, not the photo.

Well, they're aren't any more of one party than another so technically....

As were any identifying marks on either them or their vehicle if the reports I read were accurate

Have had surprise peanuts due to squirrels so it's not always bad

That is a good crop of buns. You should be proud of that one

Oh, this is not the first time for them. I've had one citrus die between summer survival time and too greedy caterpillars so I try to keep a balance between the two. I appreciate being considered a safe space for them to grow. Next is a little area for monarchs and others to enjoy a stay

Genetic predisposition for addiction, environmental or situational factors, tax brackets, the list goes on.

Lot easier to get drugs if you're in an environment with easy access to them. Lot easier to get hooked if you're predisposed to addiction. The drug of choice changes as you go up the wealth ladder.

For me, it was realizing that while I was smart, the shit level of schooling was more an impediment to me gaining the skills needed to continue excelling and I continue to be surrounded by absolute dipshits wherever I go.

In school, I didn't have to study to pass and there was no real incentive to learn how to. This bit me when it came to university because the lectures didn't cover everything that was to be tested on. Turns out, trying is a skill I never needed until then.
