A Betazoid character who isn’t in a nurturing profession, but is a tactical officer.
“Captain, I sense they know they’re about to get their asses handed to them”
Also, a Klingon character who is in a nuturing profession instead of tactical.
“You are a true child of Kahless for confronting your fears and I am honoured to have helped you.”
Klingon therapist: the battle against mental illness cannot be won decisively. It is a long campaign against an enemy who never tires, whose forces swell to twice their size whenever you look away. Battle against a foe of such magnitude, who occupies your very mind… every moment you survive is a triumph against all odds. There is no more honorable combat.
Someone tell that bear heās not supposed to eat that with the skin on.
I live in South Africa. And if you live in South Africa and you have any contact with people from the US or Canada you might have run into a question about wildlife like lions and elephants roaming our streets. Most South Africans get pretty offended by questions like this. We are a civilized country, our large and dangerous wildlife gets contained in properly fenced parks.Ā
I use to get offended by this until I visited a few places in Canada and realized that the reason why you ask is that some of your large and dangerous wildlife does simply roam the countryside and sometimes make excursions into town.
This honestly blew my mind. What do you mean, you have bears just walking around? What the hell?Ā
north americans donāt all encounter deadly megafauna on our porches and front lawns but it happens often enough that we all think this is a reasonable amount of gigantic animal to happen to your house. so when we think of africa we kinda imagine it like this:
like. if we had elephants here. this is what we would be putting up with on the regular. what do you mean you guys are more sensible than us.
TELL ME AGAIN HOW AUSTRALIA IS THE DEATH COUNTRY We have two spiders and (apparently) 12 snakes but we donāt have lions, bears, wildcats, AND crocodiles. We sometimes have crocodiles and large boas in certain areas. We donāt have to worry about a bear attacking our halloween decor. Or moose deciding to joust on the front lawn.
Maybe similar to Africa, Americaās fear of Australia is because you all assume our wildlife is exactly as huge and space-invadey.
oh yeah i forgot about the gators
I live halfway between two large cities in a pretty damn suburban area and hearing the sentence ādid you hear there was a bear* spotted on [road that is pretty built up and I donāt think of as wild at all]ā only left me a little surprised. My mother once saw what she described as a coyote going to school- just walking around a university campus.
soā¦. yes I was absolutely picturing elephants reaching over your back yard fences for some tasty leaves.
* Ursus americanus for clarification not homosexual sapiens
Couple years ago we had a bear in the market of downtown Ottawa. Ottawa has a population of 1 million, and it made it to the largest market (byward), and had to be removed with sedatives.
yeah, like. the US is big. a lot of it is much wilder than you think.
okay now iām really confused
how exactly are you supposed to STOP a moose or a bear from just walking around
but yeah, part of it is justā¦ the country is very large, animals are all over it, itās probably not cost-effective to try to stop this.
