@hystericempress I would like to apologize for briefly reading this as 'compressor pork', imagining the machine with a conveyor belt of pork chops, and giggling.
I really can't stand the thudding roar of a truck-mounted compressor nearby and running all the time, it's awful.
@Motodrachen Negotiate fairly with them for mutual gain?
I am newly reminded that I'm sad that modern English has largely eliminated six of its nine major prepositional locative adverbs. Each had a prefix indicating the place and a suffix indicating the direction:
h-: "this place"
th-: "that place"
wh-: "what place?"
and
-ere: "in such a place"
-ence: "from such a place"
-ither: "to such a place"
The surviving forms, of course, are "here" ("in this place"), "there" ("in that place"), and "where" ("in what place?"). But we used to have
hence: "from this place"
hither: "to this place"
thence: "from that place"
thither: "to that place"
whence: "from what place?"
whither: "to what place?"
and I think our language is poorer for their elimination.
@yeenbean Thank you so very much for this singular honor, I'm so pleased even just to be nominated, much less to HEY GIVE THAT BACK
@hystericempress Super happy you're doing it, I'm so glad for you! :D
re: ornithology, shitpost, highly urgent
@zebratron2084 They're the local Jay species in the Pacific Northwest. Farther south in Oregon, you get Scrub Jays. Here we have 'em with mohawks, bright blue eyebrows, and their heads dyed black. I put out peanuts for theme every day, and in return they try to trick me into putting out _more_ peanuts.
re: ornithology, shitpost, highly urgent
@zebratron2084 May I suggest the humble (not really humble at all) Stellar's Jay?

re: ornithology, shitpost, highly urgent
@zebratron2084 I feed 'em peanuts, they're doing okay.
@hystericempress Rock on with those anticistamines. :)
how not 2 guns safety, injury, laughing at the poor decisions of others
So idk if y'all saw but a while back, but there was a whole thing about guys pointed loaded guns at their junk w/ safety off and finger on the trigger, trying to own the libs and make fun of gun safety culture I guess?
Well, in a shocking twist, one of them appears to have shot himself in the nutsack.
