"Any corner will do, from there just keep making right turns. It may not be the optimal path, but it will get you out of the maze."

A bee headbutting you is not necessarily an agressive act, could be just investigatory on the part of the bee. I've walked into the heart of a flowering shrub covered in hungry bees, during which they either ignored me or headbutted me. As long as "defending the hive" isn't part of the bee interaction, they are usually very chill but remain very curious. I'm still careful when the headbutts happen because accidents happen and a confused bee tangled in hair may still sting. But I have also gently untangled a bee or two without anyone getting hurt.

Even when defending the hive, bees seem to prefer as little direct agression as possible. I've stepped into a clearing and suddenly found myself way too close to a wild bee hive and got stung exactly once by a bee that got tangled in my hair as I fled the approaching swarm.

I've also gotten a solitary wasp tangled in my hair, near no hive or any flowers, and gotten stung 3 times on one knuckle as thanks for setting them free. The bees have taught me to treat them with compassion and respect. The wasps have taught me to react with murder and extreme violence before they are even aware of me.

Both are pollinators though. So despite the animosity, I don't go out of my way to wage war against wasps the way I do mosquitoes.

Who hasn't wanted at one time to buy $37 worth of burrito?

What Mexican $37 or American $37?

Yes.

Interesting take about TNG "standing on its own". Sure that's valid. But the first few seasons on TNG aired concurrently with the TOS movies. It's never occurred to me that TNG is anything but a continuation of TOS, it's Even in the name, not a spin-off, not a reboot, not an alternate timeline (until many movies later), a continuation of a story about imperialism struggling internally with morality and existential philosophy (vs. evil empire fighting rebels). New shows are welcome to be spin-offs, reboots, and alternate timelines, but (for me) not TNG.

I personally don't mind the reposts. What does offend me are the lies in the title text claiming ownership and originality.

They may have used the word wrong, but getting parodied by Weird Al is actually more prestigious than winning a Grammy. Not because Weird Al parodies are rare, but because he only parodies songs that are actually pretty good. I have trouble believing that if the song were actually bad, playing it on accordion with jokey lyrics would be an improvement. There's no Weird Al parody of a Nickelback song, that I know of.

If I was about to go on tour with my best friend and he said something stupid that put us in danger from real life lunatics with guns, I'd fucking cancel the tour too because I cared about us both and our relationship. Besides, if you can't tell your friends they're wrong when they're wrong, they're not really your friend. This isn't necessarily the act of betrayal you're making it out to be.

I'm betting that making this statement publicly makes it easier to break the tour contracts, rather than backing out of the tour without saying why.
