well hold on, a Canada goose can get up to 14 lb easily, the brown pelican tops out at 6.9 lb, and doesn't have a cobra neck so your only options aren't attack the head & neck or do nothing.

like if there's a group of kids around, I'd rather they go home with a story about how I got beaten up by a goose then the trauma of the memory of a pudgy middle-aged man smashing a goose's head in front of them. I remember when I was like five and Animal Control had to come to my school and shoot a raccoon because they thought it had rabies, I got pretty emotional about that. heck, here I am talking about it more than 30 years later.

plus if anybody records it, no matter how much anybody acknowledges they don't want to be bitten by a goose, I'm still going to be branded a heartless goose killer and probably doxxed. there's a lot at play here

oh look, Johnny No-Posts has an opinion on somebody's question in the No Stupid Questions community. I don't go to the Pinochet fan groups and tell you that you can't make helicopter memes, learn some basic internet etiquette.

during the first women's march I wore a shirt that said "nobody for president" and everybody loved it including the counterprotesters

it should be like "I'm not planning on fighting a pelican"

you could try actually reading the source source yourself.

and who the hell am I supposed to trust about Catholic rules if not a freaking archbishop?

In the US, the USCCB (that is, the bishop's conference for the United States) has ruled that Catholics should abstain from meat every Friday outside of Lent but may substitute that for some other suitable form of penance. What that penance is isn't exactly delineated. here's an archdiocese saying the same thing . I'm not catholic, so if you want to argue what Catholics are and are not allowed to do, please take it up with the archbishops and archdiocese.

the first fact came from the Bristol Zoo, and the second from Archbishop Bernard Hebda.

there's one of a Holstein cow successfully eating baby chickens.

capybara get eaten in the wild all the time. average lifespan of a wild one is 4 years, and the primary cause of death is predation. they can live 10 years in captivity

their main form of defense is reproducing about as quickly as rabbits. they are sometimes competition for grazing land, but South Americans usually farm them if they're a pest, rather than exterminating them, as they are very good meat animals. the Catholic Church classifies them as fish, so the more Catholic of community is, the more of them they're eating (Catholics aren't allowed to eat meat on friday, and somebody along the way decided fish weren't meat. it wasn't unusual to write the Vatican with a description vague enough to get something declared a fish; both the capybara and beaver were classified as fish because the people submitting the request just emphasized the amount of their lives they spend in the water), and there's a medicinal grease produced from their skin that they use like petroleum jelly.

it's a long-standing tradition. all official pelican fights must be a surprise

good to know. was it like a bad, dirty paper cut?

 

 

I tried searching for one but I'm just getting clumps of philosophy majors

 

when I tap on a notification for a mention, it's no longer highlighted, so it's showing it as being read, but the little number up at the top doesn't go away unless I hit the "mark all read" button.

 

the term "cake day" just makes me think of r*ddit. I've seen Lemon Day going around, but we probably want to avoid affiliation with lemon party.

not that we can tell anybody what to do anyway, and each instance could even have its own. anyway, it needs to be something that obviously means "anniversary" and doesn't require explanation otherwise it'll just be annoying

 

I occasionally see news stories of a robbery or burglary where the perpetrator cops some scratch tickets along with the other stuff.

with the lottery folks simply be able to void that batch of tickets? or, even more, use those tickets to catch him if he tries to cash in?

 

I don't know why this never occurred to me before. so quarterbacks have headsets in their helmets so they can communicate with the coaching staff. I was always under the impression that they only used it before the play, just to prevent using a runner, but is the coach ever on the microphone during the play? maybe telling the quarterback where somebody is open if he can't see it
