 I have Photoshop too. 
 I do not think those in the 1870s had access to computer programs.

Ah-ah-ah, how quickly do you forget. 
 Owl is obviously on step 1 of the 3-G plan:
Gaslight
Girlboss
Gatekeep

Step 2 is to become a C suite executive at Babcock & Wilcox and get them to revise entire catalogs of engineering materials, followed by the final step of writing and promoting new hiring guidelines that will blackball anyone in the HVAC or boiler industry that refers to anything other than automotive air to water heat exchangers as radiators. 
 Gaslighting doesn't work when the gaslighter is getting laughed at 
 Are you sure I’m the one being laughed at? Are you really sure?

 Look like some of my cousins. 
 they probably laugh at you too. 
 Fedi is the only time I can really not be serious, retarded or goofy. I can’t do this stuff elsewhere. Fedi gives me a mask and I get to be as retarded, aggressive and stupid as I want.

Can’t do that around people, so no people don’t laugh at me (except for that idiot who thought he was being cute by saying ‘don’t get short with me’ to mock me for my height, something I cannot control). 
 How short are you 🧐 
 Five-four. 
 That's not even that short 
 With or without heels 
 Jesus Christ, with. 
 Holy shit
I am in awe
He just one-shot the boss by hitting its secret weakpoint 
 Guy: "don't get short with me"

 My ex made that face a lot 
 Well yeah 
 Asuka and her consequences has been a disaster for the human race.

 @owl. @Xuya @Boomerman @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @BunnygirlAbductor @Christmas Man look at that laser focus, class act

 I will never forget the video of the praying mantis snatching a hummingbird from the thin air, killing it effortlessly in the process.

Insects are wonderful, terrifying machines. 
 @owl. @WhiteExodite @Boomerman @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @BunnygirlAbductor @Christmas Man where do I find this video?

 @owl. @Boomerman @Christmas Man @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @WhiteExodite @BunnygirlAbductor it's cool but sad 
 They’re made to kill, evolved perfectly to do it. They’re insanely elegant and lethal.

I can understand Exo’s fixation with them. They’re the reapers of the insect world. 
 @owl. @Xuya @Boomerman @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @BunnygirlAbductor @Christmas Man i like their laser focus, their design is super cool, and they're more personable than other insects. when mine died my family was surprised by just how down i felt afterwards. 
 There’s a certain kind of purity with being upset over an insect such as that dying. It takes something soulful. 
 @owl. @Xuya @Boomerman @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @BunnygirlAbductor @Christmas Man it helps i basically watched over it as it died, i think someone messed with the temp in the house and it got way below what it could handle. it's been almost a full year now and i still miss ma boy. 
 @owl. @Boomerman @Christmas Man @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @WhiteExodite @BunnygirlAbductor I think people naturally side with the cuter animal. Not a logical thing. 
 i hope the person filming is murdered by black ppl 
 Why? It’s nature. It’s not like they caused this event to happen, and whether or not they were filming it has no bearing on the fact that it was going to happen. It happens every day.

I don’t think it’s cruel, I think there’s a respect you can glean from nature over this encounter, how everything in nature fits together to make moments like these where an insect can pull a flighty bird like a hummingbird from thin air and start snacking on it.

Do I like what happened? No. Do I have respect for what’s taken place? Yes. It’s morbid and a little disturbing but it’s nature. 
 @owl. @Xuya @Boomerman @Meat_Mom @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @BunnygirlAbductor @Christmas Man i like how they freaked out but then had to admit it was cool, because yes that was pretty cool to watch. 
 How many years passed by before the praying mantis was able to even do something like that? Marvelous. 
 Insects would completely destroy everything if they got bigger 
 Giant mantis would be pretty fucking sick ngl. 
 @owl. @Xuya @Boomerman @Meat_Mom @ea1be75f @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @BunnygirlAbductor @Christmas Man huh, i didn't think i'd actually find something

Invisible boy

But you can still hear him

jewish writers everyone 
 @owl. @Xuya @Boomerman @Meat_Mom @ea1be75f @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @BunnygirlAbductor @Christmas Man also the mantis doesn't ambush or anything, just stabs with its legs like that thing from Attack of the Clones. lame, but the model looks cool. 
 Im probably being stupid here but how would invisibility stop him from making sound? 
 Because nobody can see you so that means nobody can hear you either 
 Have you ever played peekaboo 
 No, this is science. Even every little child knows that if you can't see them, you can't hear them either. 
 @owl. @Xuya @Boomerman @Christmas Man @Meat_Mom @ea1be75f @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @BunnygirlAbductor also this old japanese movie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIjOJZgZ9s0 
 The kamen rider episode with the mantis man was genuinely creepy 
 @BunnygirlAbductor @Xuya @Boomerman @Meat_Mom @owl. @ea1be75f @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @Christmas Man haven't seen that but there was a mantis mutant in Kamen Rider Black which i thought looked excellent, had a fantastic fight scene as well.

here, a fresh clip straight off the presses. this is genuinely my favorite fight so far in the show, might even be an all-timer unless the finale tops it. i do lol at their attempt at having the mantis open the cell door at the start.

 A tiger will break your neck before it kills you but a mantis will take bites out of you while you're still alive 
 haha you're short 
 Alright I’m gonna go do something before I say something fedposty. 
 sounds like you need an environment with life or death action lmao 
 I'd suggest becoming a full time sailboat cruiser. Never have to see another soul. Hate your neighbors? Just fuckin leave! It's the perfect lifestyle for people who hate people. 
 naw, live in a trench. its great tbh. 
 Owl is yellow :take_notes: 
 You said it sister. :laugh: 

She say we have similar eye so it must be true. 
 slant eyed for the win! 
 @ЯAUL👹lum lover🍚🔥 found these two on Tinder. He taught them to point and laugh at jews when he met them both in NYC. Raul then got them both pregnant that night. He has visitation rights on weekends with the kids where he teaches them anti-semitism and how to cheat at casino blackjack.
