V: What’s up?

In Blackfish they made a point to say that no Orca, in the wild, has ever killed a human being. There is no record of this anywhere. The documentary stated it was ironic that they were called Killer Whales, because other than their food, they don’t just go around killing things for no reason. However, this Orca killed…

I hope we can rule this method out:

There are many zoos and aquariums that do valuable conservation work as well as educating the public that results in better stewardship of wild spaces.

Seaworld? Seaworld....? Is that you???

The only thing I know for sure off the top of my head is that orca communities (pods?) are matriarchal instead of patriarchal. But in general a lot of the public knowledge around whale life span is shit put forth by Sea World (who else has a vested interest in disseminating information about whales?) so outside of…

You’re lucky. Seeing orca in the wild is almost spiritual. Not too many people get that lucky.

I’ve just witnessed them attempt to prove themselves human, fear death, be tsundere, and constantly lie update their age. This is... slightly expected.

Uh, this conversation is occurring in every bar in America this weekend...

Damn, now they’re automating OkCupid dates, too.

Uuuuuuuhm, never mind
