I don't doubt there are people living in illegal apartments without plumbing in Brooklyn, but I don't think they would be bragging about it on the Internet.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Comprehensive and seems fair.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So how many people are actually freaking out about the world ending on Friday? I'm not hearing much, compared to the pastor who predicted the world ending last year.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
there must be a lot of people who are freaking out about it in order for NASA to put out a statement.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I'm not freaked out, but I keep seeing muttering on tumblr from people who are freaked out by other people being freaked out, and thus are worried that Stupid Violent Things will happen.

This seems to be mostly what I'm hearing.
I mean, I haven't heard any stories of people quitting their jobs or selling all their belongings or anything.

Did you know there's an insect called a "cockchafer"? What's more, there's multiple types, including the common European cockchafer and the European forest cockchafer. The latter is apparently rather hard on wood. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I haven't heard a single person mention a real apocalypse--mostly it's a great time to bring out every apocalypse reference in fiction ever. Dibs on Jacob Glaser!
I just made an appointment with a home health nurse for next year. They want to investigate giving me my meds at home....which would be perfect.
And a 180 from the people who said I can't take that much without a negative reaction--I can't even get my meds in Fast Track because there isn't enough monitoring equipment.
Anyway, going to go try see the Hobbit now. Wish me kind technology, so that I make it the whole way through with no pain.
