pepper spray to a bears nose is like getting kicked in the balls. They can smell for miles, and even further after the rain. it's a very sensitive organ. I've also lived in bear country most my life and in my head it is way easier to get a bear to back down from a confrontation than from a meal. At least that's what I've been taught. To always act loud and big and chase them away from town, but always turn the other way and leave if you come across them fishing.

What does the spray do that you can't test it without also using the suit? Like surely you can test if bears are repulsed by pepper spray without ever putting yourself in danger. It all just sounds like extra steps to justify picking a fight with a bear. It's not like bears are actively hunting us and you need to suit up to go do maintenance on infrastructure anywhere near the forest because they are so highly aggressive.

I pour boiling water from the kettle on my oats and wait 4 minutes. Less for instant oat packets. More convenient because i leave the kettle with some water in it an just turn it on while walking by(push a button then fill a bowl with oats and water, no need to open and close a box and push multiple buttons). Any other challenges? There is no shame in just liking your microwave, but I've had all these appliances side by side to compare them(although I've never used an expensive microwave) and the absolute only thing that a microwave can do that an electric kettle/toaster oven combo can't do either better and/or faster is microwave popcorn. I don't miss my microwave tho because stovetop popcorn surprisingly tastes better and I'm not that into popcorn anyway.

Get rid of the microwave and get a 20$ electric kettle. It'll boil water faster and you can make instant ramen etc just by pouring the boiling water over the noodles(or w/e) and letting it sit and cool for a few minutes. Everything else that a microwave can do can be done with either a toaster oven or an air fryer but healthier AND tastier. AND you can reheat soggy French fries like some golden god of the kitchen.

Yes. 3 people so far have photo shopped the source material. Look at how many people agree with my comments[(16 upvotes at the time of this posting:16 hours into the post) and I can only imagine it has to actually have much more to be counteracting this negative emotional reaction we are seeing]. Imagine how many of the people agreeing with me might participate in a Photoshop battle with better source material... Art is open to constructive criticism and just because you dont personally like or agree with a critique doesn't make it wrong. It is no reason to baselessy attack the person who made the point without reason either. Just because you can't find an angle to counter-critique an idea is no excuse to attack people instead. And for the record: the only thing I'm taking as a personal attack is literally you gas lighting me to tell me I'm taking "everything as a personal attack". Cos everything else in this thread was just artistic critique and opinions being shared and tested

Your issue is that it's actually impossible to change someone's mind when you are ignoring their points and projecting your own insecurities at them. I respectfully outlined plenty of reason. Very little has been offered in opposition; none by you, but sure go off and ignore that fact while using words wrong.

No I'm not. I'm just vibing and craving quality content. Pointing out that people aren't actually countering my argument when they disagree with it isn't an emotional response. It's not me feeling attacked. It's me saying "sure you said that thing about my opinion but it doesn't actually change or contradict anything I've said" Change my mind with some quality content if it hurts you so much that you need to comment on someone else's opinion of art.

And that will never be funnier than the scene is on it's own, because it already works. It's not something that WILL be funny once the context is changed. It's a scene that is already funny BECAUSE of the context. Changing that context hurts the humor rather than making it better. Do better, dont complain to me for complaining

Some of these battle requests are getting ridiculous. This is an entire scene, not a single point of interest that is begging to be juxtaposed in different contexts. I'm halfway tempted to start doing the opposite of what is asked and Photoshop the people out of the stadium so I can Photoshop a funny Photoshop into the picture
