    I would feel safer alone in a room with the bear than a politician. At least I know what the bear wants.

      At least I know what the bear wants.

      Yea, to be able to re-build his hibernation food mountain of human junk food after a raccoon and his friends stole it again

    The flag has a grizzly. Compared to that, a black bear is like a deer

      As someone who lives in this same town, black bears are more like overweight raccoons.

      Fun fact, our “city hall” is at the tiny community airport, which also had a restaurant with the best chicken wings in town (salt and vinegar wings FTW). The restaurant was still going when this happened in 2019, so my guess is the bear smelled the food and went looking for the kitchen, only to get sidetracked by the city council meeting.

        So the bear came for the food, but stayed for active community participation

          Sounds like an upstanding citizen to me! More people should be like bear

            More community meetings should bribe people to attend by offering food.

        Just over it, it’s not interesting or funny to me hence my comment. Nowhere did I express anything resembling being upset. You’re just projecting the stance you perceive as my truth without any evidence to that effect.

      I don’t know how spam bots work. Are they site specific? Did someone create a Lemmy spam bot? Or do the bots attempt to create profiles all over the Internet?

        I always experience a weird sense of sonder[1] when I see spam bots, because even if it’s a huge, highly automated network of bots, there’s at least one human involved if you could trace the bots back to their source.

        I wonder what kind of person they are, and how the hell they make a profit from the spam. They surely must have a non-zero return rate, but how well does it work? Are they making bank from the task, or barely scraping by? Are they surviving on the scam income, or is it just a bit extra on top of a regular job? Do they enjoy the work, or are they as much of a wage-slave as I am, just in a different way. Were they themselves a victim of some scam, perhaps? I’ll never know, hence the sonder.

        [1]: Sonder, noun, neologism. “The feeling one has on realizing that every other individual one sees has a life as full and real as one’s own, in which they are the central character and others, including oneself, have secondary or insignificant roles” (dictionary.com)
