Staring you down, knowing all about your intent to molest them. Sicko.

I love that you as a person can get jail time for touching an owl, but a developer can destroy thousands of acres of owl habitat while also getting a tax break.

It looks just like him.

My "do not molest the owls" sign has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my sign.

All I can concentrate on is that the owl in the sign has very silly eyes

could be a spanish speaker who wrote that. molestar means to bother.

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago

"molest" also literally means to bother, it's actually a euphemism that we probably shouldn't use (although it's become fully associated with the other meaning, so maybe we should, idk).

But originally it was a genteel way to refer to SA.

Ye I was just doing a bit lol

[–] MattEagle@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

yeah I know it's a bit. I'm just adding a fun personal insight.

The owl looks cute. The sign makes them look scary.
