I said something about landlords sucking poo poo at work and then found out one of our providers is an Airbnb landlord. Then someone that rented his place for six weeks squatted for free afterward by using legal technicalities, probably inspired by news stories about the same.

If you want my opinion on landlords, just read Mao. (Who didn't actually say they should be killed, he encouraged working with them during the revolution, he just said they should not in any circumstances be given any sort of political power).

This is anecdotal from a friend who does like trains, but almost certainly isn't on the spectrum (or learned enough coping mechanisms very early on that no one could tell from childhood) that some train museums have autism awareness pamphlets for kids parents whose children are a bit too much into trains.

I think it's much less common in America just because we largely have a completely poo poo rail infrastructure compared to most of Europe and Asia. Does Chicago have "El Spotters?"

I worked nights at a gas station when sparks came out and the number of teens who tried to buy it and then pretended they 'didnt know it was alcohol' when I carded them was so high that it must have been working for them somewhere

When I was in highschool we lived near a pretty busy highway that went straight through town , so there were gas stations every couple blocks. If we wanted beer we'd just try them and if we got carded we'd say we left it in the car then drive three blocks and try again. Usually didn't take more than three or four attempts before we got to someone who just didn't give a poo poo and wouldn't card.

I found out that I, and like a lot of people my age grew up with a grandfather claiming his great-grandmother was some Apache princess or something

Yeah, but this one is that she was specifically born to Cree parents and adopted by her white parents when as near as anyone can tell those white people are her biological parents. And having your great great great grandmother being Apache or whatever generally doesn't qualify you for recognition by the tribe as a member. Like we have a little family lore that one of our ancestors had to flee England because he was one of the members of parliament that signed Charles' death warrant, probably not true, but it's a good story and I don't claim it makes me English aristocracy. if I had a family story that 6 generations back I'm a direct descendent of an Apache princess I might repeat it, but I wouldn't use it to claim rewards specifically set aside for First Nations people.

Not angry, annoyed, like maybe the elephant was blocking the road and they honked at it. I just figure, that's a paved road, elephants are smart enough that it likely knew cars would be on that road and smart enough to have some idea of what happens when they sit on a car.

One time our cat swallowed a length of thread that was still attached to a spool. My wife was out of town at the time which sucked because he's very bonded to her and she might have been able to help him more easily despite his agitation. I only noticed when there was a weird clinking sound coming from one of the cat's usual cozy corners. The spool was hanging out of his mouth since he had swallowed enough of the thread. I knew he was either going to choke on the spool eventually, or the thread could bind up his guts. So I had to don thick work gloves, corner him, and grab the spool from where it was dangling an inch out of his mouth. When I got a hand on the spool, it came with about two feet of nasty, slimy thread.

He also punched my hand three times in the second it took me to grab the spool. He didn't use his claws but he managed to bruise the back of my hand through the work gloves. Dang cat hits like a truck apparently. The cat is usually pretty chill and I had never seen him get mad or scared enough to smack the poo poo out of anything. It was a reminder of how much cats are lil' killing machines.

Yeah, I think the only difference between a domestic cat and a tiger is size.

Yeah. It's deciding what healthcare plan you want with no foreknowledge of what you healthcare needs will be beyond already having a spouse or a kid. As a single man with no dependents unlikely to need healthcare, the cheapest options are like $100 bucks a month and if you actually need a doctor for something you're hosed. If you have family you need to also to get healthcare for, it's a lot more money and if you chose the wrong one you are also completely hosed if they get seriously ill.

American Healthcare has to be the worst system of healthcare in what's generally described as a first world country. Every single country anyone would describe as a first world country you are more likely to live and not go bankrupt if you get cancer.
