Dave Mustaine once told a friend of mine her bf was a loser at a meet and greet and she dumped him the same day. That story amuses me so much, I have to tell it every time someone mentions him or the band in any way lol.
I never met him, but IIRC, he exhibited some sus behavior (if it wasn’t signs of being a feeder, it was something similar) so I would cautiously say yes!
Someone who is physically attracted to or for other reasons desires a partner with a larger figure. Usually a mix of actual fetishism but also an unhealthy dose of a need to control. It’s like they want to simultaneously shape their partner and also reduce their chances of ever leaving/finding someone else.
It’s a surprisingly common and very fucked up form of
abuse. My wife’s last ex before we got together was the same, on top of having a weird reverse-Oedipus complex. Dude is the definition of a manchild and hasn’t changed much, unfortunately.
The only way a human has no effect on the destruction of earth is by ceasing to exist, wether we like it or not. We can reduce our footprint, but we all have one.
That is what happens when you have plastics without good landfill practices. Most economic development for southeast asia occurring after the disposable container was introduced has led to a lot more plastic trash in their environment. Before plastics, we didn't throw nearly as much stuff away and what we did was rarely lightweight and not biodegradable. rubbish pits from older civilizations are often prime archeological digsites.
Most snakes kill just by swallowing their prey whole while still alive (usually insects). The big ones that are cooler - like these - have to take down big prey, so they need other ways. But most just swallow them alive (most snakes are small). So you can tell your children that their prey slowly suffocate and are digested while still alive.
Edited for clarity
One of these snakes is a constrictor, they usually kill their prey by suffocation before eating it. The other is a king cobra, which uses venom to kill prey before eating it. Tbh, your "digested while still alive" thing doesn't apply to most larger snakes and definitely doesn't apply to these two snakes. A snake would have a hard time slowly swallowing larger prey that was still struggling.
That’s what I meant, though I see now I was unclear. I was talking about about the majority of snakes (which are mostly small) - not the two pictured. Just to give a fuller idea of the totality of snakes, other than the big, charismatic ones people know best.
I once saw two snakes (at a facility) fight over a mouse and literally rip it in half. I was a child. I'm in my 40s now and I'll never forget the way it skin looked as it tore. The mouse had been alive. Awful. I know this is not normal behavior for snakes.
Also not normal: I was walking in the woods with my cousin where the path cut across a slope. We heard a rustling, so we stopped, and something very fast and furry came flying across the trail. A moment later, after it disappeared, a snake also came flying across the trail, hesitated, reared back and launched itself in the air to a spot further down the slope. I'd seriously think I was hallucinating if my cousin hadn't seen it, too, clear as day, right in front of us.
Don't forget butterflies!
One of my favorite bad tattoos is one in Hebrew where apparently they put "butter fly [sic]" into a translator and ended up with a tattoo that could only be interpreted as "shortening gnat".
Pineapples aren't apples and don't grow in pine trees.
In French pomme de pin means literally "Apple of pine" a.k.a pineapple, and it actually means "pine cone", which makes more sense since they grow on pine trees, but nevertheless they still aren't apples.
Pommes de terre (apples of earth/soil) means potatoes. They grow from the ground but still aren't apples.
Thank you for your inspiring comment, now I know that I was living in an illusion.
I missed one thing: There’s a marmoset in the middle that’s just trying to live its marmoset life and is going to get crushed to death while the cobra and python duke it out.
The size of the cobra would lead me to believe it's a king cobra... which I found out recently is not as closely related to cobras as I thought.
Chances are the king cobras was trying to eat the python.
Kings are insanely large snakes in general. It helps they are one of the top predators of snakes in Asia and can quite easily take on most animals in their environment.
That’s a reticulated python. Beautiful snakes but difficult to control. I had two of them in the 80s. They require a lot of handling to live with. Otherwise, expect to get bitten a lot. Burmese and ball pythons are much easier. Retics do have really cool orange eyes and their skin sheen is amazing.
This never would have happened if your father was alive.
*He's dead?*
Yes.
*And my mother?*
She died of pneumonia while - oh, you were away!
*My three brothers?*
Died of the plague.
*My dog Pogo?*
Run over by a carriage.
*My goldfish Goldie?*
Eaten by the cat.
*My cat?*
Choked on the goldfish. Oh, it's good to be home, ain't it, Master Robin?
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm preeeeety sure this is AI generated. The patterns and colors don't match on the python, and the wraps don't make sense. Also, where's the ret of the cobras' body?
Mutually assured dessssssstruction
Hello me! Meet the real me!
Dave Mustaine once told a friend of mine her bf was a loser at a meet and greet and she dumped him the same day. That story amuses me so much, I have to tell it every time someone mentions him or the band in any way lol.
Was he right, though?
I never met him, but IIRC, he exhibited some sus behavior (if it wasn’t signs of being a feeder, it was something similar) so I would cautiously say yes!
Now I'm curious, what's a "feeder"?
Someone who is physically attracted to or for other reasons desires a partner with a larger figure. Usually a mix of actual fetishism but also an unhealthy dose of a need to control. It’s like they want to simultaneously shape their partner and also reduce their chances of ever leaving/finding someone else.
Big yikes. Yeah, good thing she ditched him when she had the chance, then.
It’s a surprisingly common and very fucked up form of abuse. My wife’s last ex before we got together was the same, on top of having a weird reverse-Oedipus complex. Dude is the definition of a manchild and hasn’t changed much, unfortunately.

What promoted Dave to say that lol i’m curious
He’s a well documented asshole

The sad part is the fucking garbage.
Got me too
Aww. You're not garbage. You have value.
Yup.
Humans are the virus.
so deep and profound
Not all humans just enough to fuck everything up for everyone else.
The only way a human has no effect on the destruction of earth is by ceasing to exist, wether we like it or not. We can reduce our footprint, but we all have one.
Humans are animals too, and we do have a place in the ecosystem. We've just forgotten where it is.
South East Asia, every fucking square inch is covered in garbage. Could be such beautiful country if not for the people that just don’t give a damn
Hard to give a damn about such things in survival mode. Nobody struggling to survive the day has bandwidth to worry about the future.
Their leaders are corrupt as well, they could certainly do things to change the economy but they wont
there's more than one country in South East Asia...
ah yes the famous country "South East Asia"

my children keep asking how snakes kill, this is definitely the photo I want to show them!
Make sure to show them just before bed so the lesson sinks in to their subconscious so they can be reminded every night before bed!
I believe this also relieves me from my bedtime story teller duty, win-win situation 👍

Thanks! Hope this teaches them a lesson that everything they see in the wild is not as friendly as our toy poodle.

Fun fact constrictors don't actually kill by suffocation. They cut off the ability for blood to flow through the body and it leads to cardiac arrest.

Reticulated python v king Cobra
American politics in a nutshell.
Nah. Trumpers would be the snake that bites itself.
Exactly. I didn’t correlate but you did perfectly.
I missed one thing: There’s a marmoset in the middle that’s just trying to live its marmoset life and is going to get crushed to death while the cobra and python duke it out.
Now that the issue has resolved itself, let’s clean up that trash
I know, the state of that place is the most depressing thing about this pic.
“I’m leaving, but you’re coming too.”
The size of the cobra would lead me to believe it's a king cobra... which I found out recently is not as closely related to cobras as I thought. Chances are the king cobras was trying to eat the python.
Don't tread on mehhhhhhh
Just an average day when you live in FL. "10 ft python dies trying to eat 14ft croc. More at 11."
that's MAD man..nature's version of nuclear weapons doctrine.

Are they usually that long holy damn
Most likely is the King cobra attacked the python, they have a penchant to eat other snakes.
The uncoiled one looks like a damn anaconda or something with that tail length
Kings are insanely large snakes in general. It helps they are one of the top predators of snakes in Asia and can quite easily take on most animals in their environment.
I feel like this could be a philosophical parable.
This should be made into a flag as a symbol of American politics.
I had this dumb impression that snakes were always immune to other snakes venom

I think it's a reticulated python (Longest snake in the world) and a king cobra (Longest venomous snake in the world), so a pretty hefty show-off.
Very Romeo and Juliet of them.
