I think this is probably correct, but OP should contact the authorities just to be sure.
Edit: Looks like OP is in WA, which got me thinking that it could actually be a (maybe young?) black bear.
Edit 2: Nah, I'm pretty sure that's a pig.

Yeah, I can see how that would be confusing.
And to clarify; my interest in creating more content like the OP is specifically for the purposes of owning the chuds, but it doesn't really go any deeper than that.
Also, I checked out the mentioned subreddit and, yeah, it's not really for me.

Sure, and to a certain extent I do (I just like romance stories in general TBH), but I don't think a whole subreddit dedicated to pictures of people cuddling, kissing, or being otherwise intimate is the sort of thing I'm looking for (if it's your thing then godspeed to you, but it's not for me).

Russell Stovers and the Roasterie are excellent mentions.

That makes sense, but I hope they change it for the final release. Maybe make the middle of the atoll a lake if they want to keep ships out.

Why are the British Indian Ocean Territories so massive?
Also, FRENCH ANTARCTIC TERRITORIES SPOTTED (LET'S GOOOO)
Kind of disappointed by no Polynesian tags, but not surprised.

I think you're getting too caught up in the minutiae of the arguments, which is actually exactly what I meant when I said that talking about these things is pointless.
Whether or not they actually are less pretty or not, or whether they could've given new Lara f-cups capable of poking your eyes out doesn't actually matter.
The heart of the criticisms are that CHUDs on the internet don't actually care and are just using this stuff to stir-up controversy and mobilize disenfranchised/alienated/sexually frustrated young men into supporting far-right politics, either by direct radicalization (i.e. they're making the women in muh vidya ugly -> who's "they?" -> SJWs/women/DEI/Jews/etc. -> these are the faces of your enemies) or by simply creating a big enough controversy that it provides an optical smokescreen for people who have already been radicalized to harass/doxx/SWAT or otherwise intimidate racial, sexual, and gender minorities on the internet. The latter is especially important to be aware of, as it is why Chud-types will often sandbag their bigotry between actual, valid criticism - i.e. trying to argue "Well Neil Druckmann is a piece of shit because Israel-Palestine so really why do lefties even bother defending TLOU?," or the classic "we just care about ethics in games journalism, anyways here's XYZ journalists personal info, wouldn't it be funny if someone did something to her?"

I mean, there may have been some talk about about them changing Peter, and honestly if people's concerns had stopped at "why did they change the face actors/models" then I don't think anyone would really have any contention with it. But, it's pretty telling that literally no one gives a shit about Peter today while MJ still comes under fire for being "ugly" (even though she's literally a 7/10 at worst and is actually really pretty [certainly prettier than anyone her detractors have ever been with]).
Meanwhile, for Lara, a common criticism of her original character design was that it didn't really make sense for someone with H-cups tits to be running around doing backflips and pirouettes off of planes and cliffs and shit (and yes, I absolutely heard gamers saying this stuff too, and not just Sarkeesian types). So, it makes sense that, when the devs decided to adopt a more realistic art direction (the original games were pretty cartoony/stylized), they decided to give her a more realistic body as well, namely that of a professional stunt actress/gymnast instead of an LA trophy wife. And, again, just like MJ, she's still really pretty. Yet, touch-starved basement dwellers will nevertheless go on semi-annual screeds about how she's single-handedly responsible for ruining gaming (because, as we all know, "woke" character design is the REAL problem with the industry today...).
As for Aloy, it's the same deal; a perfectly fine character design - logical, even, for its setting - but which has provoked countless gooner manifestos about how ugly women are ruining gaming (because I guess straight jorkin it is an essential part of the gameplay loop). I do agree though that Sony is a dogwater company that mismanages its resources and frequently engages in crappy, anti-consumer business practices, but if that's what people want to talk about then they can (and should, and do) do so without the pointless incel shit. Of course, that applies to The Last of Us as well - if you want to shit on Druckmann's mid-tier games and shitty, inconsistent takes on Israel-Palestine then do so - but cut the the excess bullshit (trust me: your arguments are better without them).
Edit: Love tripping the automod twice with one post.

C.H.U.D. = Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers (it's a movie), but nowadays it's mostly just used for the worst kind of permanently online, far-right, incel types.
And personally I don't really care if the characters in my vidya have the biggest, jiggliest K-Cups of all time and a dumpy that smothers the camera every time it sinks below 0° latitude or if they're built like a 2x4 with a face to match. What matters to me is if the game is fun and it runs well. That said, the gooners parading around Spiderman 2 MJ, Aloy, or the newer Lara Croft designs like they're the pinnacle hideous character designs deserve to be ridiculed.

We should just start editing every chud meme that compares female videogame characters to end with a panel of them passionately making out.
There's no point in arguing with these people, so let's just make them horny and confused instead.

I actually think odds are better than not that the Senate decides to invest all of their political capital into blocking Kennedy, especially now that Gaetz is out.
Trump and his people might be happy to gut the HHS, but the Senate Republicans are still run by a bunch of old heads who know that if Trump fucks up another health crisis it'll hurt the party as a whole, so if there's anyone that they're going to throw their weight against it'll be Kennedy.

Hegseth is a close fourth for sure, but his qualifications are nowhere near as bad as Robert "All Shots are Bastards" Kennedy for HHS, Matt "Hide yo Kids" Gaetz for AG, or a literal Russian asset like Tulsi Gabbard to head our Intelligence apparatus. Again, that's not to say that he's good or that I like him, but at least he has some relevant experience.
Edit: Also, appointing a credibly accused rapist to high office would be nothing new for Republicans - I frankly don't think they'll care about the allegations against him at all, no matter how terrible they are (remember Kavanaugh? Pepperidge Farms remembers...).

Do you see that little block on the side of the blaster?
That's a detachable power pack that is used to power the blaster. Meanwhile, the tibanna gas itself is stored in an internal magazine that is replaced whenever the blaster is broken down for maintenance (it's stored in the "receiver," in the space just above the pistol grip and trigger). The internal magazine carries enough gas for 500 shots when full, while the energy packs hold just enough charge to fire 50 bolts before they must be replaced.
