  • This depicts very precisely how I feel crossing roads in the US and Canada.

    Compare and contrast with what happened in my town in SW France:

    • Council installed one of those super secure crossings that take forever to let people cross the street. Twice if you want to cross diagonally
    • Some old people don’t give a shit because they must be thinking that life is too short for this, and they yolo it
    • Most drivers stop but some are unattentive
    • A couple of accidents happen
    • The old people lobby give some shit to the mayor
    • A different crossing is installed that stops the drivers all the time
    • Most drivers are OK, the shitty ones are angry
    • Everybody nice profits, another victory for the old gits who cross when and where they want. They’ll do it again











  • Average Space Marine chapter master: ‘the Emperor? Yes I know someone who knows a guy who met a guy who had once seen the shoe of a Custodes. So yeah you could say we’re close’

    Average Rogue Trader: ‘Johnny the Empy? Yeah we played golf together last week. Like every Tuesday, nothing out of the ordinary. Now excuse me I have to go and have dinner with some eldar royalty’





  • At first I thought I didn’t agree as I believed that frogs were members of some families of the order Anura (especially, but not only Ranidae) and toads were exclusively in the family Bufonidae. Mutually exclusive groups of families for frogs vs. toads.

    But apparently I was wrong (and it might be different in different languages…) since I understand that frogs correspond to all Anura (not the case in French for example)

    But! There are also some frogs in the Bufonidae??? e.g. Panamanian Golden Frog

    Get your shit together, taxonomists
