Drinking yourself home sounds more wild than the party itself, never know what you might get into

How do you know?

One of the places I grew up people would do this with their tiny dogs. Every family had a story of the time a hawk/eagle would make off with one of their tiny dogs. Still didn’t use leashes or watch their dogs tho 🤷‍♀️

Edit: just remembered we lived near a canyon too with a trail along the top edge. People’s unleashed dogs would chase after something and go flying off the cliff. Rescue helicopters would train for people by rescuing (or usually just retrieving the body of) all the dogs

Straight up I was told to push a breaking change today because it “didn’t break that much” and “we can put in tickets to fix the issues”. I’m so checked out of this job I just raised my eyebrows and rolled with it. I’ve got a paper trail not my fault lol

Nah I’m too trans to be let in even as a conscript. They would rather just kill me domestically 🎉

I cared for one for a few years. There is usually a difference between scared/cautious and outright aggressive (which can happen if they get too scared, or if they’re an asshole lol).

When they’re happy and comfortable the quills lie down and they’re easy to handle and pet without getting poked. If you do get poked their incredible amounts of back skin absorb most of the force so it’s more like feeling around in a pencil bag not really painful. 8/10 it’s a fun texture and there is novelty to it but it’s impossible to blow raspberries on their tiny tummies.

When they’re balled up but not being aggressive you can pick them up if you know how. Since they mostly just quiver and the quills are uniform as long as you don’t squeeze them you won’t get poked too badly. 4/10 if you aren’t familiar with them you’re likely to turn them aggressive but if they’re just being cautious it can be a lot of fun watching them poke their snoot out to inspect before unballing.

When they feel actively threatened they move their quills around, will lunge at you, and bite. The quills are not so uniform and a good lunge will absolutely draw blood. They also have surprisingly pointy teeth. 1/10 don’t attempt to pick up or pet an angry hedgehog everyone involved will leave with regrets. If there isn’t a choice in the matter, like maybe you’re trying to give it medicine or there’s a wild one stuck somewhere, leather work gloves at a minimum.

What model is this?

Hey all what do you suggest for a school and game dev laptop with Linux for a ~$2k budget? I’ve been eyeballing framework but keep hearing mixed things

“We’re the police. Relax,” one of the men says

Fam I’d rather be kidnapped by a rando than the police. Relaxing is the last thing I would be doing while getting swarmed by pigs

I’m wondering if these comments are starting to hurt at this point. Yeah I’m pissed at non voters too, in protest or otherwise. Is the continued ostracizing beneficial in any way though? Shouldn’t we be trying to talk with them on a way to move forward? If we continue to divide up the left into too many bite sized chunks we’ll never be able to properly organize at the scale needed in the US

Not who you responded to but yeah I want to hear a drug fuelled rant I don’t even care what topic

Finally holy shit the game industry needs to unionize so badly

I’ve never seen such a majestic creature

Rock and roll and stone!

I code using punch cards hand cutting each hole with a xacto knife

This is why even if I think something is 100% legit, if a place calls me asking for anything I tell them I have to check on it and call back. Then I’ll call their known public number and go through that way. I’ve avoided a couple scam situations like this

One of my aunts played Christian kids music until my cousins were like 16 and everyone was expected to sing along

I was on the bus the other day and watched someone unpack an entire mcdonald’s haul and systematically put all the trash on the ground by their feet, kick it into the aisle, put the unwrapped food back in the bag, then stepped on the trash to leave one stop after they got on. Humans are amazing

Hi I’m trans and living in the US right now, in Seattle one of the best places to be trans in the US. Don’t come here if you’re trans. Don’t travel to anywhere in the US, not Seattle, not anywhere. If for no other reason than to stop giving tourism money to us but if you’re trans then yeah it’s getting spicy.

All my trans friends who have had to travel are reporting increased pat downs, getting questioned by TSA, and bags being opened regardless of their documents. If you get clocked you may be delayed or searched.

For any trans people looking to get out of the country be careful. So far my best idea is to get to a state with enhanced IDs, use that to hop the border to Canada by land without having to physically hand your passport to a US agent, then fly out from there.

Stay safe everyone

This is exactly how my last job was… We’d just smile and nod while boss talked about unhinged solutions to problems that didn’t exist. We’d then spend the next week or so subtly trying to extract the perceived problem and intent of the request, find a proper solution, and never tell him what we were actually doing just that the thing he wanted is getting resolved. It all had to be very hush hush to prevent him from stepping in and fucking it all up
