Have you met academics? Dollar signs was working on a PhD and at least one morph suit was in neurology, studying psilocybin.

I ran check-in for a few crypto-conventions. We’re missing full-body morph suits, dollar-sign sunglasses and proud boys uniforms.

I haven’t even met them and I love those birds. Reminds me of Canada Gooses, the source of deep respect and utter annoyance as our avian fellow countrymen.
One of my BFF’s is an environmental scientist who loves ducks, which means get loaded with duck facts that spill over onto others.

Yeah! I didn’t know until I visited with a friend of Gary Dealy (nicknamed Big Deal.) They have framed photos of the whole process. You should ask about it if you’re in there, Gary told us the whole story. Very nice, cool, hilarious people.

Do you mean the sexy cortical homunculus?
- Comment on Meanwhile Ball 1 day ago:
Ever heard of Big Deal Custom Cases? They’re a company in Winnipeg, Manitoba who started out making road cases for musicians before diversifying into laptops, field equipment, basically anything breakable anyone needed to carry from one place to another.
Imagine what they thought when NASA phoned them up to build giant cases to carry the sails for the James Webb Space Telescope from the manufacturer to Houston.

The lack of rape?
- Comment on Anon's neighbors have chickens 1 day ago:
Ducks have diverse mating habits, like humans. They don’t have to rape, but they will when there’s overcrowding, males outcompete females, and/or they live in an urban environment where females lack the strength and space to escape.
Otherwise, most ducks form seasonal pair bonds with new mates each year. Some come back to the same mate each year, which isn’t quite the same as monogamy since they don’t stick together when not fucking and rearing young. A few ducks will mate for life, and a lot of larger waterfowl, like geese and swans, are monogamous.

- Comment on Always wear protection, folks 4 days ago:
I disagree. I do not enjoy wearing cheap earplugs. After years of aching ears, trying every size and method, custom fitted were a pleasure to wear. Mine were paid for through an employment program.
That said, there are much cheaper shaped earplugs for specific decible ranges you can get for about $15-30 in Canada, made for concerts and shows.
- Comment on Always wear protection, folks 5 days ago:
I don’t know specifics. He went to the doctor, they sent him to a hearing specialist, who said he’d be fine but to mind loud environmentsn for the next while (which he told me at a loud bar that night.) He mentioned ADHD and forgetting/not feeling like grabbing his ears on site when he wasn’t around tools, so they figured earbuds he could wear all day long were the best way to protect his dumbass from himself.
- Comment on Always wear protection, folks 5 days ago:
I bet they don’t wear ear pro at the range because they’re already deaf. Even at the most red-necking shooting parties, hurling skeets in the quarry, we’re stringent on safety and covering our damn ears. One friend of a friend refused and I was like “You either put on the ears or I will lovingly hold your head while you shoot, you pick.”

Jokes aside, I’m gonna ruin the fun here.
This is real. I had a buddy temporarily loose partial hearing in one ear when scaffolding shifted next to him, the crack was so loud it hurt. He left work to get it checked out, extremely anxious because he was only 25 and a musician - and good thing he did.
My dad, who worked on airplanes his whole life —one of those man’s men who doesn’t need things like gloves and goggles, well, he’s mostly deaf now and it took three years for the military to clear his doctor’s appointments and get him hearing aids. We can’t talk on the phone anymore.
You can get custom fitted earplugs for specific decibel ranges now, which is what my construction buddy got. I have a pair myself for raves and concerts, and I can hear people next to me just fine.
Protect your hearing, you won’t get it back.

Imagine some people just wanting to engage with folks and see the platform grow. Or making a community to suit their niche interests for funzies. Or suffer from crippling emotional regulation disorders and loneliness, seeking to make a connection, any connection, because likes are an opiate when the alternative is silence.

Shit, is she getting paid? How do I sign up?
I browse by subscribed, so I don’t see a lot of stuff. But off the top of my head? Stamets, King, Mickey7, probably others I don’t recall.
Pretty sure OP switched instances some time back if you’re wondering why you see her stuff.

Reminds me of the time I accidentally blocked someone behind me in the grocery store. Before I could say anthing, she shouted “Some people say excuse me!”
So I looked all confused and did sign language saying I couldn’t hear. I will never feel bad about it because I’m trash and divider woman can join my trash villain team.
