Hah, got it. I know of at least two capitol hills I’ve been to in other major cities, so I wasn’t sure.

Right, but, it seems like, according to this picture and a lot of the folks commenting, that if you meet a furry you will know, probably by dint of them telling you.

I mean, it sounds right. It’s been so long that I’ve forgotten.
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 1 day ago:
Not necessarily. I had a relative who worked for the federal government back in the 70s/80s, and at the time they were trying to get everyone to switch (it was a voluntary choice for people who were in the ‘old’ system) to the new, non-pensioned options. I can’t imagine that the government suddenly decided to return to pensions.
My experience in small, local government was that everyone was on a matched % of paycheck being put into a retirement account. If you worked for a set number of years with the city/county/parish/state your investment would be matched at a specified rate when you retired. Basically just a glorified retelling of a 401(k).

Ah, nice city. I’ve been there a few times, but somehow I’ve never bumped into a furry. I always spent more times in the wilds nearby though, so maybe that does the trick.

Wasn’t that 1500 whatever-the-unit-was? Below 1000 whatever-the-unit-was was the fingerprint bands, 3400ish whatever-the-unit-was was the O-H bonds, 3100ish whatever-the-unit-was was N-H bonds, 2900ish whatever-the-unit-was was the triple-to-C-H bonds, etc.
Ugh. The lab portion for that was so tedious. We would have to sketch the expected resonance patterns by hand for a bunch of different molecules. I loved the simplicity of the hydrogen bond nuclear resonance imaging so much more.

Which capitol hill, lmao?

Why limit yourself to the yuri when you can have the yaoi as well?

Also don’t do it AT the register. Those cameras are much closer and better than the cameras pointing down the aisles. Sure, you can say you made a mistake, voiding the ‘intent’ of the crime, but you’re much more likely to get caught and banned.

that is a base at the bottom of the object much wider than what your ass can suck in
And don’t believe your hiney can’t suck. Every ER will tell you some rather large objects that have made it in. Make that base 33% wider than the widest portion of the object, or 7.62cm diameter, whichever is greater.

It didn’t look like jews or americans got to that carrot… it should have plenty of skin!

- Comment on I'm too stupid for this 2 days ago:
Chemistry was worse than math for me. Somehow they expected you to remember a variation of a formula from way far back, and understand that you could now use a different notation system to derive another, third formula from a new formula that you had just learned… but didn’t explain that and just threw that new third formula (with entirely different units/inputs) at you and it always was a slog to go track down how it all went together because the mental concepts just didn’t flow. I don’t even remember the name of the textbook or the professor of the class, but I still remember those stupid blue boxes in the textbook where mental mindfuck took place.

I would feel bad if we had to kill a very young adult and respectable frenchman for every three asshole-rich fat cats. Maybe I’m wrong about the frenchman, but I don’t recall him being rich, just the ‘expert’ on the dive. I think tragic still applies for them.

Whoah, calm down, killer. I am in the same camp as you with smoothies. I just think fruit salads are worse. Smoothies (not made at home) at least usually take into account how flavors should blend together.

I don’t think a single account of mine with writing will be known to my descendants. I switch accounts every few months, purposefully erase old ones, forget names and passwords, and generally avoid talking about myself. The only thing that I think will be able to be linked to me with writing would be my reviews on steam, lol.

I think the only winning move was not to play. Excuse me while I go throw out a salad and try to keep my lunch down.

I wish I could be that guy. I’m just curious how he got away with it. Surely that behavior pissed off a manager type.

Conspiracy actually requires an act towards the plan. It’s not just speech.

Back in the day it was humorous, because every 4chan poster ‘knew’ to replace the word that was obviously the unknown word with a slur, curse, pejorative, or random word. Like, how did 4chan not get ripped from being able to use capcha?

Tell you what, you bring your worst salad, and I’ll bring mine. I think I have some chicken salad that’s been in the fridge for a few months that the partner forgot about.
- Comment on Honestly Bizarre 5 days ago:
Salads with eggs are the worst though, can we agree?
- Comment on Honestly Bizarre 5 days ago:
Fruit salads are an abomination anyway. It’s like someone was going to make smoothies and their blender broke. A tomato in a fruit salad doesn’t seem any crazier than some of the other things in those anyway.

At least for the mormons and jehovah’s witnesses, the point of them going door-to-door isn’t to convert you. It’s to solidify in their minds that the ‘other’ is hateful and vile. Your shenanigans are funny, but just building another wall for another pair of fools for their little prison designed by the people at the top.

She needs to contact the police, like others have said, and she needs to get a restraining order. The police can, depending on the local laws, build a harassment and possibly a stalking case. The restraining order isn’t going to get him in ‘trouble,’ but it will let the criminal case have more evidence and weight, and gives your relative a place to start putting emphasis behind her reports.
Unfortunately, she’ll also have to give up social media. It’s a route to her, and it’s not one that will be closed down. Creeps like that dude will come back again and again, because it’s relatively easy to avoid real bans, if he even gets one. She needs to not respond to anything from him after sending one message, “I do not wish to speak with you. Do not contact me again.” Whichever route he’s going through at the time, use that one, making sure it’s one that you can keep a record of. Then, anytime any contact is attempted again, note the time, date, a brief summary of whatever was said (from him, neither she nor anyone else should respond to anything) and contact the police again. Even if the cops are lazy and often useless in online harassment, they want you off their backs, and especially the higher ups don’t want a disgruntled citizen with an actual ignored crime complaining about them, because the winds of public opinion can turn on things like that. The records of contact are what gives the cops a kick in the ass. It’s evidence that they don’t have to do anything to get, and it’s also what a judge likes to see when it comes to a harassment case. It’s also critical that she (and anyone else) never responds. Tit-for-tat may not make his acts ‘legal,’ but it makes it easy for a defense attorney to poke holes in the prosecution’s case that he was harassing her. DARVO doesn’t work if the only communication is from him. If she’s responding to him, it sets up a scenario where there is a ‘conversation’ going, and if she isn’t ending it that doesn’t sell a harassment case to a jury very well.
Keep records of what he posted, where posted it, and when his site you mentioned is updated as well. If the harassment is mostly taking place online,
