A pokemon gachapon ball that used to hold a pokemon rumble figure.

Any kind, D4 and up. I have lost around 30. Yet I still can't find the damn hiding spot.

I did, I nearly cried too before I remembered they were all CGI. What is the gestation period on those things? Shouldn't Okja have had her pup by the ending scene or did it just not take? Also the Animal group in that, APF right? Pretty sure that's a real group

>Also the Animal group in that, APF right?
ALF, and yes, they're a real group. They're an actual terrorist group.

PETA will steal your dog and euthanize it but ALF will burn your house down first.

The movie didn't really move me. I wasn't able to suspend my disbelief.

>"farmer" girl is surprised when the livestock animal she raised is going to be eaten

>ALF is obviously supposed to be "the good guys"

>"rape" scene horrifying the ALF members to the point where they vomit and cry

>after putting a little girl's life in danger to take her pig, the big bad meat Monsant-stand-in company doesn't go full damage-control mode and allow her to keep it for the good publicity

>even though they have literal fields full of breeding population + fully-grown super-pigs ready for the slaughter, the big bad meat company needs THAT one super-pig

>the director says this movie was made with an anti-mass-produced-meat message, but showed one of the cleanest and most efficient-looking abattoirs I've ever seen

>hurr durr GMOs are bad because they're not natural, not because Monsanto is copyrighting plants, monopolizing the farming industry, and muscling small farmers out of jobs and land

there were some funny parts like the girl in the pig hat trying to get a selfie with okja while running for her life, but the movie's message was too hamfisted and unbelievable. they should have also created a fictional animal rights group rather than sugar-coating the ALF.

>>2428057
I wanted a cute story about a girl and her giant pet, like a Miyazaki movie. I really liked the beginning actually. When they took her the first time I was like "fuck, this movie is going to make a statement" but I still enjoyed it. Just wish they hadn't tried so hard to make everyone cry. I'm also tired of creators' opinons being shoved into everything they make.

literally the worst breed

I thought Pitbulls were the worst breed. Chihuahuas are bro-tier.

This is my cat. She has been under the care of some good friends since February while I have been away for work. I am getting home next month, but I am terrified she has forgotten me, or will run away from me. Its going to break my heart.

I always look for beekeepers on /an/ and never get any response.

11 hives here, half of them recent cutouts that I've been removing for people. I've been doing this for two years now and really jumped in head first. I'm getting past the initial blast of wonderment and love of the hobby and having to face reality. Beekeeping is still my favorite thing in the world but I can't figure out how to make a net gain out of it. I'm doing it by myself I can't see any viable way to make a net gain. Boxes and frames are expensive. My hives are surviving just fine but the rate that they're collecting honey isn't enough for me to get a substantial harvest later in the year.
Where do other beekeepers land on feeding? I feel like being hands off is best, but maybe not. Should I be dumping sugar water on these guys so that anything else they collect can be used for honey to be extracted? I'm in central texas and it's been a perfect here so far, but I bet we're heading for a dearth any time now.

I recently captured a swarm and had it in a taped up xerox box in my car. Apparently I missed a spot and wound up driving 75 miles an hour down the road with a car full of bees.

>Beekeeping is an actual hobby people post about on 4chan

Neat.

>get on his computer

wow lmao why don't you just get your own???

I'm not sure exactly about the Alpha having a monopoly on breeding rights, but I do know that the Alpha can change depending on whether an animal gets injured, old, or diseased. So what was once a beta can at some point become an alpha. If only the Alpha were allowed to reproduce, when it died who would breed? A former beta.

Also I've seen people here challenge the Alpha/Beta dichotomy in the wild, arguing its only something that occurs in captive Wolves. But I don't really know the truth about that either.

>>2434864
Considering the "alphas" are the mother and father of all the other wolves, it'd be very bad if they reproduced with their kids.

>>2434864
In a wolf pack, only the mom and dad are allowed to reproduce. the rest of the pack are leaching child NEETS.

Really though, the kids will eventually fuck off to find other dogs to fuck, and then their kids will form a pack with them until they finally fuck off, and so on and so forth.

Literally the most autistic dog in the world.

You can keep any arachnid you want.

>>2434783
Even infamously dangerous ones like the Brazilian Wandering Spider?

>>2434786
Yes. They're not expensive.

However since you don't seem to know anything about this hobby and you managed to miss the invertebrate general to ask there I'd suggest you start with less venomous spiders that are much better suited for beginners and then work your way up.
