I know you guys may think this is silly but cave ecosystems are so fragile. Yes you are damaging it by just being there but they have weighed the risk vs obligation when it comes to National Park accessibility and decided that limited guided tours were an acceptable sacrifice to enrich the lives of the general public.

This is devastating and feels terrible. Don’t take food inside a cave. Many caves have lockers outside. Don’t eat inside the cave. Keep your bag zipped until the end of the tour and carry it in front of you NOT ON YOUR BACK.

Ugh I want to slap this person who had an entirely preventable “accident” but they probably didn’t even get a ticket.

“Nowadays” ? Boy let me tell you of the proto-memes in the days of the early internet.

Tl;dr: Everybody be snarky since forever.

It was gross back then too. In the 90s the Coasties would trawl the junior high girls. 25 year old men “dating” 13 year olds. We all knew it was gross as fuck and not okay but small town cops didn’t give a fuck. Hell there was a deputy “dating” a 16 year old too.

It wasn’t looked at differently in the 90s.

A guy in my class knocked up a 14 year old during senior year and we basically all stopped talking to him because fucking ew, dude.

Spanish model Leticia Sardá is Celebrity Number Six.

Look, it was the 80s/90s. We had one TV. My parents were not going to watch kid shit during their down time so we watched whatever they felt like watching. Thus, I have too many to list here.

But for context apparently Alien and Aliens made me squeaky and giggly/happy as a baby. To this day I sometimes have bizarrely detailed dreams with xenomorph subplots.

Jesus fucking christ is it just open season on women all the time there?!

Whaaaaa? That’s crazy. I use to read it on the reg years ago but fell off long before the June exodus. Has this always been the case? I feel like this maybe wasn’t the case back in the heydey (Tree Law!) but IANAL and was there for the entertainment.

This prompt is bizarre and seeems written by a male 14-39.

I think I’m going with the short kings as long as the 10k is enough to protect me from them. They did consent to the escort mission and I think 10k is enough of a motivation to keep someone cooperative for a few hours. Plus I’m short too so I wouldn’t have to hear any talls bitching about pace.

I feel like the soldiers outside of their time might have too much issue coming to terms with modernity.

Also I think the group of women would absolutely be able to defend themselves but I don’t want to inflict this stress on a group of random women. Although they did consent and I’m assuming gave informed consent. Plenty probably said no, so the ones that said yes are feeling bold about it.

Fuck it, I change my mind I’m going with the gaggle of sassy ladies.

They’d all have each other’s back and are used to being on high alert. Probably pretty scrappy too. There’s no city I can think of that has 10 whole miles of "bad’ so really it would be just isolated pockets of heightened danger and a long walk otherwise.

Plus there’s way less of a chance of them turning on me.

Aren’t you just describing more or less how they actually make American cheese? Real cheese (cheddar and ?) mixed with curd and emulsifiers.

Not exactly the prompt but I used to be hung up on The Boy in the Box mystery but I’m happy to report his identity has been found. His name was Joseph Augustus Zarelli.

The fern room at the Como Zoo Conservatory in St. Paul, Minnesota. Just brief walkthrough a few times but I wish I could live there.

Anyone else curse Reagan’s name on at least a weekly basis?

ChatGPT is my friend, fight me.

6. I just woke up and the little bird is my cat annoying the shit out of me.

Just searches/purchases of cat food. Especially the food she loves but to which she’s allergic.

The other one would be searching for wildlife and bird videos all the time.

You monster.

The Ace Ventura sequel, When Nature Calls. My gooey adolescent brain ate it up and it is one of the few movies from my childhood where I can set aside everything I’ve learned and just enjoy it.

I academically know it’s bad and wildly problematic, I’m not blind, but nostalgia can be pretty powerful.

I notice that people refuse to read emails. They would rather have a 30 minute conversation where I give them all of the information/questions that would have been an email and I hate it.

One way I deal with it is to PARE BACK the content I need to give them and use bullet points. You have to get it to the absolute bare bare bare minimum. Never write more than two short, broken up, and spaced out paragraphs. Bullet points should never be more than one brief sentence.

I’ve had increased success in getting people to accept and respond to emails that way.

Yeah and in that movie those gals had a paid lunch hour WITHIN that 9-5 timeframe. Can you imagine? Damn that would be nice.

Every place I’ve ever worked most people who worked 8s worked 8-5 with a 1 hour unpaid lunch. In fact, 8-5 is what is considered business hours in my industry.
