I had to google it, I'm not up on the latest variations of humans. I did not call anyone here that, cos I don't stoop to name calling when I disagree with a person. It was a generalisation of some men that you can find out in the wilds these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Betty White T-shirt also got pruned. I remember your post because it was different than the rest and you used a name I had never heard before. Now I know why I don't like Tofu.

Dafadilia Wayfarer Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Peeve...kind of: When my husband knows I have been excitedly counting down the hours until the Fantasy Faire opens since yesterday so decides to start blasting the song "It's the most wonderful time of the year..." while I am in the kitchen making us lunch. The sarcasm is real in our household! 🙄 Peeve...kind of: When him and I are trying to get a cute photo in sl and he points out what the mushrooms remind him of (nothing good by the way) and now I cannot unsee what he pointed out about them. Just nightmare fuel. 😆 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although us obsolete ones are not known for reliability plus you can't get the parts anymore. Peeve - no way to get to Venice Biennale to see the Archie Moore 'kith and kin' installation at the Australian pavilion. Just by photos and vid alone it is stunning and very very human. (Graun has a piece on it). Tech peeve - shifting 200 gigs of stuff from one box to another over a network that seems to use carrier pigeons (Win7 to that 10 thing) and it taking 6 hours then realising all the SL stuff is actually on the other 50 gig bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGH. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68848098 Quote Ashley Hobbs, a biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, said only one cub remained when she arrived, and described it as being very wet and cold. Sounds like the cubs might have been up in the tree for quite a while if they were wet and cold. Makes one wonder if mama bear was gone a while, maybe having suffered an accident that she hadn't returned to care for her cubs.

Looking at a video of the incident one could barely call it a tree rather then bush. I have a hard time imagining a mother leaving her cubs in it for safety as a wolf or other predator could have easily reached them. Makes me wonder if a couple of karen's accused what amounted to an animal rescue, into a "selfie shoot" Authorities are still determining whether charges should be laid so I guess it wasn't and open and shut case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it looks as if the fence could be next to a ravine and we're seeing the upper parts of trees. A lot of times, they'll put fencing along the edge of a slope to keep people from tumbling down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, you make it sound like a Mother bear has the same reasoning as a human. Perhaps the Mother bear knew that there wouldn't be a danger to the cubs where she placed them due to, oh I don't know...instinct? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bush/tree the cub is in is only a foot to a foot and a half higher. It is not like they had to climb a ladder to reach up to the cub. It is surprising the bush/tree would have supported the weight of all three. 8 minutes ago, Kathlen Onyx said: LOL, you make it sound like a Mother bear has the same reasoning as a human.

You're right, Mama bear is probably smarter then a lot of humans so it would be surprising for her to put her cubs 6 or so feet high considering she herself likely tops out at 7-8 feet in height, and it is unlikely for overprotective Mother bears to put their cubs in a bush next to a place where humans hang out. Not really a safe place unless maybe she was putting them up for adoption or maybe hoping some human would feed them!
