"MIND-YOUR-OWN- BUSINESS MAN!!!

COP: he plans to rob six banks in 36 hours. We know his list but not the plan-

Mind your own business man : and they're all insured? By the FDIC?

Cop: it's a crime sir

Myobm: yeah ... Three of these got bailouts in the housing market chrisis and the other three forgiven loans in COVID.... All more than what's about to be stolen ...

Cop: doctor theft plans-

Myobm: doctor serves them damn right if you ask me. I'm sitting this out. Not my problems.

I'm sorry. I personally wish I was dead but am not actively suicidal. I get family and friends calling on me over stress comments and have to explain the difference between "it would be easier" and "I'm going to" way too often. Back to back baker acts don't help my mood.

People don't always understand the difference between ignore-help-and make shit more difficult. It's complicated

And you don't need alligators to make a swamp. Not relevant to the question I asked.

I'd talk about taffy if we're lucky enough to have it. We chewed rubber across the street from the taffy store hoping to catch a wiff of the taffy. If the wind was right you'd almost smell it over the horse manure we had to carry back and forth.

But you've said you've grown have you? Let me put my glasses on and take a look at ya. How old you get up to now? 17? When I was your age I was 24 and had to hide from the draft but I know you do the best you can and I don't hold it against you. Life is softer now a days, you grew up with all your toes I see. We used to have to write our names on our toes in case they got stolen police weren't now damn good barely got half of them back . .. you're a good boy tho lad. Strapping. Like your Father before he got sloppy and stumbled into all that doctor brain pull crap. Pills making people happy now. If I wanted haUppy I had to go to war and get an arm blown off and you don't see me complaining.

Run along now son and tell your mother I need another rooted beer and make it a good one this time. Damn lazy kids. My father never ask twice a day in his life. He asked once then he kill ya and replace ya with a kid that minded better and they call that abuse now. That's why nothing ever gets done anymore with the construction down the road. Six weeks for pavement and they call it progress. Their lucky. They don't even.... They don't ... damn kids.and their play tubes... Snoring .... We stood in line for our kidneys... Snoring. We drank the lead because it was cleaner than the water snoring ya think you have blue... We had real blue back then not this pansy ass.... Snoring and they think they'll send it mars. Good luck with that I'd say if they were worth a damn to listen..... HEY DONT CHANGE THE CHANNEL IM STILL WATCHING THAT! damn remotes and they wonder why we have diabetes.... Snoring

Back in my day you used to be able to buy twelve horseshoe crabs for a nickel... Of course that was before the war... Back then id swear at least two and a half teenth of my crew where horse shew crab but who you going to tell ? Tattling wouldn't be invented for another 2 score years up in Kentucky you had to wait another 6!

But it's was easier and I miss those days. If you could dodge the knowledge toads you were already 12 up on these Irish but we can't say that anymore can we? No sir...now we got to give everything to the freckled folk and act like that's the way it's meant to be but it's not. It wasn't a thing until the battle of leaky hill... But we lost and I had to accept that to get tomatoes down at the Paul's service at a decent price. Don't even get me started about the tomatoes. You never damn believe it.

Sorry I'm going to be a grandfather soon so I'm practicing

Explain what you mean in 6 paragraphs please

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I can explain that but I have to use the only thing available to illustrate.

So imagine my left testicle here formed before this penis in the middle... And yes it is technically a penis despite the small size, and this testicle-

I got to ask all the Internet tho.... Which is better?!

The concept of north?

Or sharks?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

That's what I was thinking.

I'd also like to add it can be a "war crime" and a horrible monster thing being done and still not be a genocide.

To repeat "not a genocide" doesn't mean it's "fine and okay"

I'm just saying it's a very specific term.

If an army js purposefully killing children just to be mean and terrible... That's awful and should be punished ... But that's also not a genocide. It's a genocide if the goal and purpose is to eliminate the culture or people from existence.

A good example is the American slave trade. Obviously terrible and unforgivable but not a genocide. What we did to native Americans was a genocide.

How does the smell affect your life, how do you deal with it, do you have any stories.

Im a trivia nerd and sometimes facts connect in an "oh no" kind of way.

Today the fact of "smell is the strongest scent tied to memory and emotions" hit the fact "pigs are very close in alot of ways to human tissue"

That leads to the "oh no"

Its got to be difficult entering after a terrible fire and smelling food, possibly even remember you nyanas famous pulled pork.

Sorry to be gruesome but that's what I'm asking about.

How do you put that aside? Do you get sick when Nana makes what used to be your childhood favorite?

I couldn't deal with that, the thought alone shook me. How do firefighters deal with that? Do family members change meal plans if you had a bad situation that day? Do some firefighters become vegetarians? Is it something you kinda just get over after a couple times?

I'm sure some political talk will be unavoidable but I'd like to keep this dry and to the point if we could.

My ex-wifes dog is dying. It's old. She emotionally can't handle the steps involved with that. She called me.

I grew up on a farm. I love animals but death was just part of life. I've had pets I loved get hit by cars, accidentally shot by hunters (on our land illegally), bitten by snakes... Plus there were lots of pets that stupid people dump in the country ("Fido will hunt rabbits or some nice farmer will take him" no he won't. Fido will slowly starve in the wild and get very mean/crazy, then get shot when he attacks me. Just have the dog put down, dumping the dog isn't better it just makes 10 year old me do what you couldn't).

Anyway my ex-wife calls me because she can't handle it and I can.

The problem is that I've slipped up a couple times and said "it" or "the dog" instead of "him" or "Toasty".

I understand that it is insensitive and hurtful, Ive absolutely been trying to avoid that since I first came over. However it's also insensitive and hurtful to call me bad for not getting emotionally attached to the dog at this point in its life. It's dying.

I'm taking care of it. I'm using all my farm skills and animal knowledge to be sure it's not dying from a disease, bacteria, or injury that I can fix or cure. I'm making food for it that is easier to eat so I can know for sure when the dog starts choosing not to eat vs having difficulty eating. When/if the time comes where the dog doesn't want to continue, I'll handle those steps and give it a burial.

If I was a monster I wouldn't help at all or just come over, shoot it, bag it, and trash it. I'm giving this animal every chance and looking for the moment when it gives up. I'm not cold. It's just a bad time to make friendship bracelets with the dog. It's a dying dog. I don't need to get more attached, I need to keep emotional distance to make good choices for the best interest of the animal.

That's exactly why I was called in the first place. That doesn't make me a monster.

Edit: before the "take it to the vet!" Comments. Our daughter is a vet. She said the same things I did. It's probably going to die. When it stops eating and gives up, put it down.

I don't want an AI girlfriend, I just want to think out loud to another person. It helps me think and solve problems on my own. I feel like AI should be perfect for that. However the couple I've seen advertised and tried out... Well they essentially are only programmed to be like:

"Let's change the subject. Maybe this picture will help" blured picture behind a $50 subscription pay wall

And I'm like "no... If I wanted to change the subject I wouldn't be talking about this subject. I'm not at all interested in $50 AI tits."

I have a very low bar of expectations. Even if the AI just responds "wow, that's crazy" to everything that would probably be fine for my needs. More would be better but I do not need lewd pictures and I'm not paying $50 a month lol.

I know the obvious of being polite and respectful. do I show up early like an airport? Do I just show the guard my ticket? Anything I should know or be aware of?
