Only women bleed
my wife found her dogs playing with a ferret in her back yard when she was a teenager, we kept it for a few years after we got engaged until it passed.

It was a pretty cool animal, and it's previous owners (who they couldn't find) had had it descented, so it didn't smell that bad.

they're also along with ferrets the default "i want to be a special and unique snowflake" pet

snakes and big spiders are the next level of that and have an almost 100% correlation with at least two of overweight, stupid tattoos, weird sexual stuff (rats and ferrets generally only correlate with one)

my mom is in an entomology club. one of the guys there asked if he could take photos of her nude and covered in scorpions.

whats the deal with this business model? i've seen it spring up a lot lately, like grazebox but for poo poo like kids toys and dog treats. why/when/how did this poo poo become popular? is there something about it that means its really profitable, or is it just a cargo cult?

there's a horse girl on my facebook who posts about her horse all the time, and once she made a post about "the power between your legs" (she was the one in school who always bragged to the guys about how much porn she watched etc.) and i responded well, you have one horsepower, but my motorcycle has sixty horsepower between your legs, making it sixty times better, and that was the Wrong Answer

"Pressy was pressed while being plugged in. Please disconnect Pressy and connect again without Pressing." --> kidding, right? How to plug that tiny Pressy in without pressing its button?

quote:

I think I managed to plug it in without pressing the button, by using my fingernail tips and extra careful. But still, I got that error message. Hence, the Pressy doesn't work anymore. It only worked once when I tested it to turn on flash light. But moments later, I always got the error message about having to plug the Pressy in without pressing its button.

quote:

I think my Pressy is faulty already. It worked only for the first 10 minutes of testing. Now it doesn't work anymore. It keeps showing "Please disconnect Pressy and connect again without Pressing." when activated. Maybe the internal switch was short circuited?. Now it's just a $22 earphone jack hole cover. What to do?

When I have pressy inserted and make/receive a call, the proximity sensor no longer turns off the screen. Is there a way to restore standard behavior where the screen turns off on proximity?

if it can detect that it was pressed when plugging in, why cant it just work anyway? i mean if it couldnt detect it, i might make sense that some calibration goes wrong, but nuh buh guh
