Bear: am I a joke to you people!?
People: 📸
Bear: yep 🥺
“Onlookers were trying to take selfies with the bear and he’s clearly not in the mood for pictures. The bear has shown signs of severe stress,” the post said.
It described the large male bear as “stressed, depressed, lemon zest” and urged the public not to approach a black bear at any time, “especially those that are showing aggression like this big fella”.
How are we supposed to take this seriously when they make jokes?
Because it’s possible to joke about something while still treating it seriously? Acknowledging that the bear is relatable, and that that’s kind of funny, isn’t incompatible with urging people to respect its boundaries.
Yeah, just confused as how it applies to a depressed bear. You were spot on.
Sometimes humor just makes it easier to communicate, it can be a useful tool. For example, look at Ted Lasso, his whole thing is that he’s a leader who uses humor and empathy as his primary leadership tools. I know this is a fictional character, but those are real techniques, so I think this point still holds.
On the bright side, this is a self-solving problem.
Yeah, but when the poor boy chomps down on some dumbass with a cell phone that whole community’s going to want it dead. :(
Last month Ron DeSantis, the state’s rightwing Republican governor, signed into law a controversial bill that allows the public to shoot and kill bears for a perceived threat to “a person, pet or dwelling”.
The legislation was drawn up by the Republican state congressman Jason Shoaf, a keen hunter according to his biography, who claimed in February that “bears high on crack” were breaking into people’s houses and “tearing them apart”.
At the time the Guardian was unable to find a single documented incident of any bear in Florida ingesting crack, and Shoaf did not return a request for clarification.
What planet do these people even live on?
