NEVERMIND AND FUCK EVERYTHINF I SAID. I WILL BE ACCEPTING NO LESS THAN HEIHACHI LEVEL STANDARDS FROM ANY AND ALL BALDING PEOPLE HENCEFORTH.
might be an unpopular opinion but i feel like if you're balding enough you should just shave that shit and be completely bald. stop hanging onto whatever you have left it never looks good. own your baldness
as a person who started going bald many years ago, that is actually an incredibly popular opinion, mostly from people who aren't losing their hair who see me walking down the street. it's usually the first thing they say, as they crawl out from under a dense foliage of brunette or platinum blonde.
"did you know-" they pipe up enthusiastically and without prompt, "-you sure would look great if you shaved your head!"
but i know the truth. i mean, a working set of kidneys on the average American diet is rare enough as it is, but a full head of hair? these freaks want me to shave my head so they can sneak into my bathroom and ransack my leftover hair. assimilating my hair onto their head must not be easy and i suspect necromancy is involved. BUT I KNOW YOUR GAME AND I SHANT BE PLAYING.
i will instead be following in the footsteps of my short, neurotic forefathers.
a lot of people don't seem to want to look like this anymore. but someone needs to be brave enough to keep this rich tradition alive. balding men are an endangered species, threatened by an all-encompasing compulsion of modern men who want to look like Mr. Clean.
listen, i get it. Mr. Clean is hot. but this trend is disastrous for the Men's Hairstyle ecosystem.
be the bald you want to see in the world.

Cutie… patootie... agouti? You might know the capybara, but what about its distant cousin the red-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta leporina)? This wide-ranging mammal can be found in forests throughout northern South America including Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela. Though smaller than its more famous relative, this hefty rodent can weigh up to 13 lbs (5.9 kg). It dines on a diet of fruit, nuts, and seeds. Like a squirrel, the agouti will bury surplus food to save for a later date. But sometimes this critter forgets to come back for its stash, spreading seeds throughout its habitat as a result.

In the dark I tend to wake up early because I like the dark. I tried making a little story to explain it. I love playing with sequential art. Not simply because I want to depict a sequence of event but mostly because I like trying to generate emotions through them. #pascalcampion

Incamys bolivianus was a caviomorph rodent representing an early member of the chinchillid family, with its closest modern relatives being chinchillas and viscachas.
Living in what is now Bolivia and Argentina during the late Oligocene about 27 million years ago, it inhabited an arid open grassland at a time when the area's climate had drastically cooled due to the formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
It's estimated to have been similar in size to a large modern chinchilla – weighing around 700g (~1lb 8oz) and measuring about 25-30cm long not including the tail (~10-12").
An endocast of the shape of its brain from a near-complete fossil skull shows that it had a well-developed sense of hearing, particularly in vocalization processing, suggesting it may have been a social animal living in groups communicating with complex calls similar to modern chinchillids. It was probably a ground-dweller less agile than its modern relatives, but still capable of fast movements.

Tip: you can microwave stale croissant for 15-20 seconds and it will become soft and warm and nice. Cut it open, put butter in it. Peace and love

Next time you make a grilled cheese sandwich, instead of cooking it in butter, try inventing a special glue that lets you walk up and down any surface

"Why didn't they just communicate?? They're so stupid!" Have you considered that communicating with someone you love and value and don't want to hurt is scary and that vulnerability takes practice and that perfect characters with perfect words make the most boring stories of all

A proper salad consists of three divine components:
ingredience (vegitable of all kin)
indulgence (dressing, oil, salt, croutons, cheese, etc)
violence (chopp and shred that shit asunder)
girl you have to stop mythologizing that one really good few months
