I like the colors and find that white is overpowering in most museum pieces/settings.
It makes it feels sterile, when real life is not sterile. That's not what humanity is.

I'm hoping this is acknowledged more when we talk about culture. Everyone that experiences it seems to feel it when they don't conveniently fit into one box.
Class, skin color, race, experiences, theres stuff I'm not listing but they all contribute to diversity.

Seals are its primary diet. Again, think about that... how the hell does the seal get caught?

The Greenland shark is the funniest apex predator. I may have a weird sense of humor, but the fact it has a 1.6 mph top speed, which many land animals whether they be marine or not, can outpace.
The prey it chases is more often eaten while it sleeps, or they just don't know how this shark hunts.

WW2 wasn't Vietnam. It's bullshit there was issues, he did nothing wrong. I doubt he looked at it as dodging a bullet though.
The mentality from a lot of veterans of this period was more selfless. If you couldn't show up, they'd be one man down and someone else would take the risk for you. It's a good society when the general public is willing to risk their own lives so others don't have to. War shouldn't happen, but responding to Hitler was necessary and the general war effort was right.
That requires trust, which was lost in Vietnam because ain't no fortunate son that would've traded spots with a dude fighting the Vietcong.
