if a teenager is at your door and they are wearing a costume!! please give them candy!! they are still in it for the halloween spirit and it honestly no different from a little kid in a costume. they are just as excited and happy as all the other lil tykes and dont you dare tell them they are “too old for trick-or-treating” because that will literally break their hearts and that’s not cool.
Its getting close to Halloween again so I just thought I’d reblog this again
And if “don’t be rude to teenagers over a stupid jawbreaker” isn’t enough for you, consider
You can’t tell how old a kid is just by looking. I’ve known multiple 5th graders who were taller than I am, and I’m 25 years old. With their faces hidden by masks, you won’t be able to tell they’re elementary schoolers, but they still are.
Lots of older siblings are expected to take their younger siblings trick-or-treating, and they only get paid in candy.
You don’t know if that teenager is developmentally disabled.
You don’t know if that teenager spent most of their childhood in a hospital or sick and has never had the traditional trick-or-treat experience before.
You don’t know if this is that teenager’s first Halloween in America, and they just want to experience a piece of American culture.
You don’t know if that teenager ever gets candy any other day of the year.
You don’t know if that teenager has eaten anything at all today.
And those are just things I can think of off the top of my head.
and even if it is just a bored 16/17 year old out trying to see what free shit they can get. is it really gonna kill you to give them a fun sized milky way from the multipack you bought at poundland? That thing didn’t even cost you 5p, just give the kid the sugar, say “nice costume”, and let it go.
odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”
Oðinn spake:
Bright the sun shone | at the time of Þor’s birth, And bathed his count’nance fair. Loki, wolf-father, | the trickster, the liar, I found on the cold pavement While returning in glory | from a grand hunt For a 3 AM quesadilla.
I recently visited the Japanese wolf memorial in rural Higashiyoshino, Nara.
A life size bronze statue was built in 1987 to commemorate the location
where the last Japanese wolf, a young male, was killed by hunters in
1905. The memorial statue is located on the banks of
the Takami River, about a 45-minute bus ride away
from the closest subway station.**
The inscription below the statue is ニホンオオカミの像 – “statue of a Japanese wolf.” In
Japan this subspecies is known simply as “nihon ookami,” literally
‘Japanese wolf.’ In English we call it the Honshū wolf (Canis lupus
hodophilax) to differentiate it from the also extinct, but larger
Hokkaidō wolf (Canis lupus hattai). In Japanese the Hokkaidō wolf is
called Ezo wolf.
A stone at the site bears the haiku:
狼は亡び 木霊ハ存ふる (reading: オオカミはほろび、こだまはながらふる)
– I believe this translates to
“The wolf has perished, the spirit trembles.”
I
wanted to leave a flower, but there were none for sale at the nearest
station. Instead I happened to find some red spider lilies (higanbana)
growing by the side of the road. From a symbolic point of view, it couldn’t have been a more perfect flower:
“They are associated with final goodbyes, and legend has it that these
flowers grow wherever people part ways for good. In old Buddhist
writings, the red spider lily is said to guide the dead through samsara,
the cycle of rebirth.” [x]
It was a beautiful and serene place, and truly a moving experience.
**Side note: If you want to visit the statue (which I recommend!), the closest station is Haibara Station (in Uda, Nara on the
Kintetsu Osaka Line). From the bus terminal there, you can take a bus to Higashiyoshino village, but please note that the bus doesn’t operate on weekends or holidays.
There was just an article about how genetic testing indicates that the Japanese wolves where more closely related to a branch that existed 20,000 years ago, than to any of the other modern populations
These are actually shrews!! They all hold onto the base of each other’s tails and travel in a line so they don’t get lost from their mother while out in the open! ((What makes it even better; these little groups are referred to as caravans!))
OK this is nuts. I keep getting the same goddamn error 11 on the GPS and I can’t play! How do I fix this? I’ve tried everything I’ve read about, from re-installing the whole game to turning airplane mode on and off, and nothing works!
Two days in a row that I can’t play. I can’t get stops for my friends list, despite having a new request. I’m essentially locked out even though I’m logged in. Like, I’m in the system but the GAME won’t load. I’m so confused!
Please help me! I love this game and it doesn’t seem to want to be played!
Guys! I need actual help! I’ve gone through every walkthrough I can find and NOTHING CHANGES ANYTHING. I even reinstalled and got the same error!
I got on for maybe 20 minutes on the bus. The Go Plus didn’t connect and any special encounter I had (a gym battle and a task completion) was met with an entirely blank screen while the music played. Now I can’t connect again.
