Please be coherent about this and recognise that what this headline means is:

Poor and marginalised people are being kicked out of the houses they worked decades to secure, just at the time in their lives when they are the most vulnerable

And the ones kicking them out aren't of a specific age either. Soulless assholes come in every generation, and the ones born with too much money are the worst of the lot. Right now, a guy your age is authorising an eviction against someone the age of your grandma. Pop culture generations cannot explain that.

This.

Money's tight and living is hard so when I got laid off from 2 jobs, instead of descending into a depressive episode, I channeled my rage into self-publishing a lovely little coloring book. Please buy one. Leave a nice review so Amazon will recommend it. It would help me lots. Thanks a ton kind strangers of Tumblr.

If profane language is not your vibe. Don't worry. I'm working on another one coming soon that's a lot more wholesome. I'm hoping to have that one also available within the next couple months. Though I am expecting it to take a little longer just because I'm trying to beef up the next one with more designs.

thanks again.

I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.

I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

Men will spend 25% of their day thinking about how they could American sniper their way out of the zombie apocalypse no problem and then they’ll walk into the bathroom and miss the toilet from half a foot away

Men will be like “I would NEVER murder someone but if I did I know exactly how I’d get away with it” and then one day you’ll be in a situation with them where they need to mop a floor and they won’t even know how

I am once again thinking about digging holes

It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification

I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

aren't gorillas gentle giants or something. i stay out of his way, he doesn't maul me, we have a nice time picking out clothes together in opposite sides of the mall

Male gorillas are super aggressive and territorial. Also they interpret nearly every human mannerism as a sign of aggression or a challenge. Smiling and eye contact are both things that zookeepers have to be taught to suppress when they’re in the vicinity of gorillas.

Well unless the mall is his native territory I think I'm fine, I wasn't planning on smiling at him

This is all irrelevant because the obvious answer is five black mambas. I mean, that’s not actually very many snakes, and malls are fucking huge. And unlike a gorilla you can definitely outrun a snake if it does show up. Find an open space in the mall where you can see any snake coming and just hangout out there. Fucking easy.

Misguided! I would much rather have a mallmate I can easily see and hear coming. I'm confident I can stay out of the gorilla's way, but if I step on a snake or one otherwise gets the jump on me, it's all over.

It's not just about the physical danger either, it's about my mental health. One gorilla, unless he's actively mad at me, I just keep a healthy distance between us and make sure I never get trapped. With the snakes, it requires a lot more constant vigilance

They should substitute "chimpanzee" for "gorilla" in this hypothetical.

if it was a chimp i'm taking the fucking snakes

Black mambas have a reputation build on being very venomous and very fast. I'm not sure why you would think you could outrun one (or five) in an enclosed space like a mall.

Malls usually have pretty slick floors, and escalators. I’d choose the gorilla simply because I think that would make an more interesting story (and a better-selling autobiography, I Survived the Mall Gorilla) but I think I’d stand a pretty good chance at avoiding the mamba. They’re fast and aggressive and will chase you but unless we started immediately beside each other I think my sneakers would have the terrain advantage over scutes.

this is too good to leave hidden in the replies

fucking enamored with the implication that this gorilla is fully intelligent but is trying to manufacture plausible deniability like the movie barnyard

I love a fictional criminal with a complicated and tragic backstory as much as the next nerd, but there's something to be said for "criminals" where it's legitimately unclear what crimes they're actually committing because they spend most of their screen time having slapstick car chases with comically inept trench-coated police inspectors.

"Stop, in the... [breathes heavily] in the name of the law!"

"Okay, [pant] you've [gasp] got me [wheeze]. [gasp] Sorry, give me a minute"

"[still breathing heavily] Take your time"

"[sigh] What can i do for you, [pant] officer?"

"Well, uh..."

"What?"

"Well, Inspector Jenkins said 'Follow that car!' And so i did..."

"Well, where's Inspector Jenkins, then?"

"I think he got lost back in the subway station. Nice moves, by the way"

"Thanks. So he didn't say why he was chasing me?"

"There wasn't time. He-"

"This is Inspector Jenkins to all units. Suspect is in custody, stand down"

"Jenkins, this is Rice. You sure you got the right one? 'Cause I'm looking at him right now."

"What are you talking about? I just put the cuffs on her myself- wait, did you say 'him'?"

"Jenkins, when you said 'follow that car', you were pointing at the red one, right?"

"No, you idiot, it was the green one! Where the hell are you?"

"You're free to go"

"'Til next time, officer"

"Wait, next time? Does this happen to you a lot?"

"Yeah. I've just got one of those faces, i guess"

Shall we go to my place, then?
Yeah, alright
