There's never been a more perfect Kotaku image reply.

Bear Hat and shorts. She's a Finn.

Gamers gonna game. Haters gonna hate. Sexists gonna be sexist.

I don't think it's that simple. Try scaling this problem up in your imagination to something the size of a forest floor. There's numerous problems with their living environment that could cause them to freak out and develop/behave abnormally.

Normally I avoid the concept of the self-diagnosis like the plague, but learning about these critters is what led me to fixing problems with my face and back. I actually accidentally discovered they really don't like beeswax, for some reason.

Gotta love how her orientation is compared to having a fetish like Dominance or Plushophilia. Bisexuality, it's just, like, soooooo kinky, amirite?! =_=

Hiding one's sexuality and/or identity also means not speaking openly and using different language than you would otherwise.

No, making babies with other mites! Perhaps it leads to parasite-like behaviour, only with the lack of anus attached or an inability to reproduce, so those mules don't wind up eating and murdering their host. That or they wind up regressing to pre-anusless behaviours after certain environmental conditions.

Sleep As Android is the one for android. I have mine set to "sleeping sheep", where I have to tap the sheep that's awake a customized number of times.

You know, I have narcolepsy...involving several different kinds of things like these, and they are decidedly not funny when chronic, especially all of those times that I have managed to get myself hurt.

Considering that they wind up really doing their thing after puberty, I'm pretty sure they serve some kind of cleanup purpose after we start secreting the additional hormones/pheromones/whatever, or they serve to fill an ecological niche that could otherwise be taken up by things that are outright parasitic and don't…

Speaking as a microbiologist, do you think they developed a lack of anuses in order to keep themselves more or less commensal? I can imagine that if they didn't come with that timer they would live a long time and very hardily and just eat their host, killing the entire colony with it.

"Bathing suit area"? Methinks someone hasn't reached their Fully Operational Executive Functioning stage! (Disclaimer: Operational stages are still only a working theory.)

Any imbalances to the skin's ecology can cause these mites to turn into parasites, actually. Sort of like grasshoppers being locusts once the population gets too high, only without the metamorphosis...we think.

I actually feel kind of bad for mine, some times. Sometimes.

This makes sense after pondering it a bit. There's a delineation between "person" and "animal" at play, which is a bit foreign to me as someone who views all kinds of critters as having various kinds of personhood. Charmmy is an [animal] cat and not a person; meanwhile Kitty is a person and not an [animal] cat.

There's a sizable part of me that comes to Jezebel just for the Cassiebear.

This amuses me far more than it should.

Japan is great. This gives me hope for their future.

You're not. He winds up doing everything from the "My Adventure Book". There's a continuity to the movie from start to finish, you just have to watch it a few times to realize what was going on.
