When reading foxhole court Neil seems like such a sane person compared to the others but my god it was funny to see the reality from a different perspective. Like how the fuck did this man manage to bring the team together. He’s been spending way too much time around Andrew and I love it
Do you think that Neil ever gets worried that Andrew will actually get bored of him eventually?
Like maybe after practice one day he'll be rambling to Andrew about exy plays and how the practice could've gone better. He stops mid sentence as he realizes he has been talking about the same thing for five days now. He goes quiet as he searches his brain for a new thing to ramble about to keep Andrew interested. To keep himself interesting.
But then Andrew says, "keep going, I'm listening" and Neil's face lights up as he continues his rant.
Andrew doesn't really listen to the words Neil is saying, he just listens to Neil's voice because the sound of it is comforting and grounding. Andrew will never get bored of Neil or Neil's rants because he could never get bored his voice.
horse whose hooves are stuck individually in different colored buckets the horse seems a bit surprised but unbothered the sign of a well mannered yet perhaps empty minded horse or perhaps this is all a goof of the horses own design
I work at an equine hospital and for non horse people, there’s ice in those buckets for the horse’s feet. This is a common thing to do after a horse eats too much food, as ingesting high amounts of sugar causes inflammation in the hoof. So this horse is not just content in his buckets, he’s likely just enjoyed the greatest meal of his life.
it got lost in the sauce so hard that it had to put its feet in the sauce shoutout to a homie and a legend
To add a little to what @onebi1 said... this is actually quite a dire thing. It is extremely painful and can cause the bones in the hoof to rotate which either leads to a very lame, very painful horse or a dead horse.
It looks cute above because the pony is fat and fuzzy (two signs of danger, actually). But this is not the equivalent of popping some Tums after you've over indulged. It's an attempt to save a life.

#are you telling me#that in horses a sugar rush leads to their bones deforming and their death?#is this why you need to be careful getting them out in spring?#will they die of too much grass??
Sort of. It's not that the sugar in the grass (or grains) can deform bones directly, but it can cause inflammation in the laminae (vascular tissue in the hoof) and that can cause the bones in the hoof to move in ways they are not supposed to.
This is what a normal hoof should look like [right, front]:
And this is (an admittedly very extreme case) what a hoof with laminitis (aka founder) looks like [left hind, I think]:
And, yes, this is why you need to be careful about letting them out in the spring onto new grass. All breeds are susceptible to this but some (drafts, ponies, etc) are more prone to it.
It won't kill a horse directly, but it can cripple them and force the owner to make the choice of humane euthanasia. Icing the feet and anti-inflammatories are the treatments for founder and, sometimes if you catch it early enough, the horse can make a near full recovery. Things can also be done with corrective shoeing and other farrier work these days--it's not the death sentence it used to be. But it's still a very serious thing.
i already have a job and it's called keeping myself alive. why do i have to be employed on top of that
Rice Krispies smartest decision is by far their Treat. Turning their cereal into a strange brick relies on the natural fact that all children are hopelessly dependent upon the ingot.
The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.
The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)
The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.
Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.
Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.
The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.
The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.
The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.
the idea of public restrooms as "women's spaces" continues to confound me. you know who I hope is in a public bathroom when I go in?? no one. I would prefer no one else be in the bathroom. and if someone else is in the bathroom I am going to ignore them as much as possible. I did not go into the bathroom to connect with other women. I went into the bathroom to piss and/or shit. it's a toilet's space, not a women's space. shut the fuck up and let trans people piss and shit in peace. let's all continue to avoid eye contact with each other and any and all interaction in the toilet's space.
