They’d have to focus on getting rid of their smell… that’s probably why foxes didn’t win the dog/fox pet battle. They smell very strongly.

But agreed on ferrets/cats :)

Well that’s not where I was going with that, but you aren’t wrong..

Those look like pepperoni sliced into chip shape.. which I guess is technically pizza flavored.. :p

You know what else monitors my activity levels and provides calorie intake suggestions and food suggestions based on that and macro/micro nutrient levels?

My body, via hunger and food cravings. And it’s free! (for me)

And I can 100% guarantee this little device isn’t going to know what I’m actually in the mood for, so it will literally never be what it suggests.. Plus my fridge is sad single person fridge half the time - most of my food is dry goods (which it has no ability to track), and I get what produce I need when I need it or it goes bad.

Samsung: “You have beer, milk, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, sweet chili, and jelly in your fridge. Make it a soup I guess? I can’t work under these conditions! I’m going to order you real food and then tell you to cook it.”

Me: “No samsung, I don’t feel like cooking today, that’s why I don’t have any food to make.”

Samsung: “Did I stutter?”

Real talk tho, their smart TVs aren’t even any good -regretfully I have one-, which doesn’t build confidence for their even-more-niche smart stuff, why would anyone want all this other trash?

Same, I have a bar a few lots from mine, and it only gets bad a few weekends a year.

I have neighbors that blast music while having super smoky fires and getting piss drunk, though. They are much much worse than the bar. Hands down. Because I can’t have windows open about half the time without my house smelling like smoke (a smell that gives me migraines).

I wonder if this means they are skilled enough to sell me only female fish for my breeding colonies…

It’s a pain trying to explain how to sex fish (of specific sexible varieties) to the people working.. fortunately I found a LFS that just has me wash my hands then I can net my own.

I’m working really hard to never pay my own student loans. (I’m not actually, just chronically unstable enough that it’s not worth trying).

Even when I find work that pays enough to end up with payments, it never lasts long enough to end up with payments. (contact is all I’ve been able to land really, and I’m fine with that due to the major time off between jobs - I’ve gotten good at budgeting)

Good on these parents for being willing to do that though, even if it is super shitty they feel they have to. My mom never would have.

Lawl.

Why on earth would I spend a ton of money on a robot to maintain something I’m against, when I can plant things native to my region which do far far better for basically zero cost and have a positive impact on my area?

Grass is not meant to be in my area, that’s -why it dies-. I’m not going to prop that up with watering, fertilizer, and more mowing and shit just because of some bullshit social standard that makes no sense.

My city doesn’t mind, so good enough for literally everyone.

Y’all do know that’s a real thing though, right?

I read something about they are under new ownership and keeping logs now, despite saying they don’t (they aren’t in a privacy-friendly sort of place). This was like 6mths ago. I can’t find anything about it now, so I’m not entirely sure what’s true, but it’s enough to spook me on it either way.

Additionally, for me at least, the service was being blocked a ton more than used to happen (couldn’t access a lot of the sites I was using it for) and it doesn’t seem the client has been updated in ages.

It’s probably fine, but it’s not worth it for me anymore.

My attic is over the detached garage, so I’d choose person hands down.

I probably wouldn’t know for a really long time, because I don’t use that space (the ladder up there is duct-taped where it cracked at some point, and since I don’t use it, I’m not about to replace it) it stays decently warm up there so less concern about finding a frozen corpse, and if someone did croak in the garage, the smell wouldn’t permanently be in the house.

But roaches would find their way into the house.

Why?

Are we not ruining Earth enough and need more stuff to ruin, or do the rich want somewhere to go when they have destroyed things for the rest of us?

I mean I love space, and I’d love to move to a retirement community on the moon (I’ve even come up with a crappy slogan! “1/6 the gravity makes old bodies feel new again!”) but for real, why do we need commercial enterprise in the moon? Can’t we just have a nice moon that isn’t ruined by capitalism like literally everything else it touches?
