I don't think it's cut out for this work. The pencil refuses to be sharpened or only stays sharp for a day at a time and eventually ends up trying to stab anyone who wants to use or sharpen it.

But, we eventually we have to talk about real life problems instead of pretending everything is simple. Sorry, pilaz, you're fired.

Top contenders:

Red-cockaded Woodpecker β€” "cockaded" refers to a ribbon or rosette ornament once worn on hats, not anatomy.

Cock-of-the-rock β€” sounds like a tavern name invented by a teenager.

Dickcissel β€” often cited as the funniest North American bird name. "Dick" was historically a common nickname for a male bird.

Bush Thick-knee β€” not penis-related, but frequently gets laughs.

Rufous-naped Lark β€” harmless, but "rufous-naped" is often misread at a glance. Shag β€” in British English, perfectly normal; elsewhere, not so much.

Cockatoo β€” contains "cock," though the name comes from Malay, not English.

Woodcock β€” another classic.

Black-cockatoo and other cockatoos β€” bonus points for stacking "cock" into longer names.

I vocally judge every english bulldog and pug owner and only recant if they were a rescue.

No, and your rent goes down by an equivalent amount for the 13th month as well.

These newsletters come out all the damn time and are relatively easy to get signed up for these Fusion Center briefs. You can generally apply if you have at least a remote level of need for them either through physical security, or cyber security.

They're typically based on SAR (suspicious activity reporting), so they're essentially briefs and generally tip guides about things that might be happening in your state or area. All those tips that you send via tips.fbi.com or similar tend to make their way to your local fusion center. They get marked down for relevant current political climate stuff from multiple agencies, typically include thwarted terrorist events or online calls for action, and will usually training available.

While most of the info in these newsletters are For Official Use Only, there's a lot that might straight up be publicly available which can still be shared under the CUI Program. You just can't share the entire document itself since it's typically unclassified, but that doesn't mean you can share it publicly. Parts of it maybe, it'll tell you which parts you can. It's similar to Traffic Light Protocol for any CISA stuff if you get those. TLP Clear is capable of being publicly released. Everything else has some sort of limitation.

Ya'll realize there are still way more regular images and videos than there are people trying to ragebait shooped ai slop right?

I swear even on reddit people claim the most inocuous shit as AI, or even worse, think good old fashioned special effects aren't real.

Captain Disillusion got out at a good time.

I hate to tell you, but this sort of anti-science medical fearmongering is half the reason why millennials and older had to suffer through their entire formative years and young adult lives dealing with untreated ADHD by treating help as if it's makes people lesser than others.

They're just kids! They don't need no ritalin, that's just how boys are! He just needs to focus, and that's on the school to figure out! Besides, what happens when they stop taking it, all the good work you've done for 10 years including the capability of getting a good job will just fall apart when the apocalypse hits!

Okay, Bill. Now don't forget to take your omeprazole and losartan heart meds before you have to visit the ER again from thinking you're having a heart attack, or actually having one again.
