This isn’t that scary but it’s real and spooked me at the time. Two years ago I was on a date and I was driving us up a wooded mountain road to an overlook late at night. We were looking forward to the view because it was a moonless night and we’d be overlooking our town, but yeah just pitch black out. I’m driving pretty slow given the type of road and conditions, lots of turns and switchbacks yknow. Anyways we round a corner and on the side of the road is this huge hideous creature. It is pale, at least 6 feet long, 4 legged but standing on its hind legs, with wrinkly skin and no discernible fur. My first thought was that it was a mangy bear, but it was larger than the black bears we have here and some of its features and movements were absolutely unlike any bear I’ve seen. Its legs were less thick and structured more like those of a dog or cat that had been scaled up. Its face also didn’t look like it had a snout, but was more human like almost? I don’t know how to describe it but it was ugly, unnatural, and terrifying. It looked towards us as we rounded the corner, then turned quickly with an action I can only describe as a snapping motion and ran into the bushes adjacent to it. Overall the interaction was only a few seconds but I think about it every time I drive or hike in that area. I tell myself it was a bear with some sort of skin disease but deep down I don’t believe that at all. Anyway we had a nice time at the overlook after that, but every rustle and snap we heard that night had me on edge lol

Isn’t that because ancient Hebrew used an abjad so they just didn’t write vowels at all

I think it’s like 60-70% and declining nowadays

How’s your experience with cosmic? I’m using a very similar setup with a custom bluebuild image pulling from secureblue. Currently on Gnome but impatiently waiting for cosmic to hit some level of stability

They literally can’t vote because of the US sanctions against them preventing them from collecting the funds to pay UN fees. They’ve been suspended from voting for a couple of years now

Do you have any reading or resources regarding this tendency? I have never heard someone describe themselves that way and in my mind that ideology would entail major contradictions but I’d love to learn more
