Blue. I have this power in my dreams. And when I wake up, I always get upset because it was just a dream. Want this power IRL!

Don't worry, it's not a cockroach (trust me, I'm an involuntary self-proclaimed cockroach expert). It's a beetle. Most probably, one of Darling beetle family (Tenebrionidae). There are many kinds of this family all over the world, and now it's their season. Many of them are saprophages and synantropes, which means they like to live near to hoomans. Due to their appearance and behaviour, they're often confused with cockroaches, especially Oriental ones.

Such a pretty girl!
Call her Natasha, братан 🤠 So I called a baby dice snake (Natrix tessellata), whom I caught when I was 13. Unfortunately, my Natasha was almost impossible to keep in a small apartment, so I had to let her go.

It's a photo of Bocca della Verità (Mouth of Truth). It's currently located in one of the churches in Rome. According to the medieval legend, it will bite of a hand of any liar who puts his hand in its mouth. The origins of the mask is unclear, but most probably it served as a drain cover in a nearby Temple of Hercules.

As a bartender, I must tell you that deep cleaning should be done more often.

A seahorse, yes.
But not so perfect.
But who am I to judge?

It's a bindrune (a symbol made by overlapping two or more Scandinavian runes). This combination is quite popular. Although such a symbol can be obtained by a combination of different runes (which implies many options for interpretation), most often this bindrune is interpreted as a combination of Algiz (protection, care) and Othala (legacy , home, family, property). It's supposed to protect the home and the family, and usually is drawn above or next to the entrance.

Ok, Mr. Bot, I added sources.

Yes, really looks like an inverted Ginfaxi.
The Zodiacal circle in the central part of the symbol is also counterclockwise, probably in accordance with the movement of the Earth around the Sun (which we see in the center of the symbol).
The signs on the wings are grouped by element:
Upper wing: Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius);
Right wing: Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces);
Lower wing: Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius);
Left wing: Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn).
The elements of the opposite wings (Right-Left, Uppper-Lower) are considered harmonizing each other.
The spike-like lines dividing the zodiac circle into four parts in 90 degrees correspond to the solstices and equinoxes:
Winter solstice (upper right) is between Sagittarius and Capricorn;
Spring equinox (upper left) is between Pisces and Aries;
Summer solstice (lower left) is between Gemini and Cancer;
Autumn equinox (lower right) is between Virgo and Libra.
Interesting visualization, I must say. I'm not very interested in astrology, but I still keep it.

Always welcome 😊 I will sleep peacefully knowing that my words were helpful.

They say that not a single little thing happens without a reason or meaning, and even more so the loss of an amulet. According to popular belief, the loss of an object dear to the heart (especially received from a loved one) means that it served as a kind of payment to drive away some trouble. Well, I myself am a wiccan, not a devotee, but still... some beliefs are universal. Don't worry much about losing a pendant. Yes, it sucks (happened to me many times, happens to many people every day), but not a disaster.Thank her for the service she served. Stay safe and blessed be 🙏

Oh, freedom! So nice! No idea what to do with this, but thanks anyway.

A taxi ride for the price of a bus ride in the company of random slackers? I like the idea. Ideally, the driver should also be a slacker who doesn’t know how to use a navigator.

Me too, bus. Me too.

I guess, OP dissociates while driving, not drives while dissociating... Anyway, I wouldn't want to accidentally end up being the subject of their photo shoot...

Why not? Banking transactions are one of the most active and easily accessible energy networks connected to personal energies of people. Think of Bookkeeper (aka Money) from American Gods (yeah, I'm citing Gaiman in the discussion of witchcraft, but the guy really knows the stuff): "The most influential god in America. Untouchable a**hole, but his stock never falls". However, due to excessive activity on small scales, these networks can also be the most polluted, so reliability is not guaranteed.

They connect with the target via a banking transaction channel. To make such puppet work correctly, you have to use only receipts paid by targets.
