One that's big enough to cuddle us. They also should get along fine in the increasingly small environments we are being shoved into. Having a newly domesticated animal that is limited to the ultra rich with giant estates is pointless, right? Bonus points if we can make it an environmental win as well.

Just about everything 'big' fails at being in an apartment though. Big cats, even the smaller ones among them, need more room. Same with bears, moose (cooool, dudes, am I right? Imagine lounging with a moose), elk, whales, dolphins... bah.

My idea, then? Giant birds. Big enough to lay on you when on the couch, but could be let loose to fly around while you're at work. It would take an incredible amount of domestication to get them to go and come back, but if we're talking hypotheticals and theoreticals and blue fantasy, I think giant birds would be the way to go. Take your pick of them. The steller's sea eagle and especially the phillipine eagle speak to me, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a swan, a goshawk, or a red kite. Feed them well at home, pretend that during the domestication process we made the nesting area easy to clean, and imagine being able to set it loose on stupid fascist leaders.

Maybe it's just with me, but stolen blanket syndrome never has anything to do with the size of the blanket. I've had floor-to-floor size blankets that still somehow end up entirely on one side (and the floor on that side).

I'm morbidly curious whether she was actually cheating on him with the dude who got the picture. Was it a horrible feeling of realization on the receiver's otherwise blissful friday evening? Was it guilt? Was it that creeping trauma that won't be understood until years later because of one insane dipshit's rage?

Those poor fucking kids, man. I can't imagine myself at the age of five thinking my parents were anything but perfect.

Don't pigeonhole me like that! I realized after 100 hours!

... I realized it after 1k hours, also, but I realized it at 100 hours...

Glad I'm not the only one who did a double take for duplicitous.

When I was a kid we had three...

boilerOne was broken, the other was on the countertop, and the third was stored in the attic equivalent, but we had three!

Wait, is that what the popcorn button does? I always thought it just was a preset for a time that would work decently for most standard brands.

I had one of those. For all that infomercials are functionally the worst thing in the world for getting a valid perspective on a product, that thing cooked everything they said it did, and it did it deliciously.

His honest reply about the state of Linux Gaming

I'm betting it's far from anything 'honest.' Stir up a little controversy (even if it's as stupid as linux/windows fanbois arguing in the comments), get more clicks and rewards for 'engagement' from the algorithm.

Maybe he is happy with linux as a system, but I bet this was thought over before it was posted.

I'm out of the loop here on that. How come?

Good lord. How in the hell does that thinking even survive a first pass at thinking about how a fru-fru place like an ice cream shop could survive while the people living there wouldn't be able to get to a place with 'real food' on offer?
