  • I don’t think it was just asking. They say they stayed until they were threatened with arrest. I think it was a situation where the office staff had nothing else they could do for them. In which case the applicant is told they have to leave, or be trespassed by police officers. It’s not a threat for just asking a question, it’s a threat for disrupting the office after all the answers available have been given. At least that’s how it’s supposed to be.

    Which is why I suggest going back in a few months when they might have better guidance and thus, better answers. I do sympathize but the majority of civil servants aren’t trying to be mean or cruel. They want to approve people.






  • The bouncer is a God. The DC is 500. Crits are the only way through. There’s an instant kill atmosphere in the front room that requires all elemental immunities to survive. If they make it past all of that they are disintegrated by the unfiltered visage of a naked god. I hope they brought another character sheet.



  • I mean yeah that sucks that can happen with coyotes, but dude if cats are damaging your stuff it’s because you’re a dick to them. They are smart enough to know and to take it out on you. Also that’s a great way to turn a minor dispute into a violent confrontation. Don’t escalate shit just because you want to feel superior. It’s not a rational response to kill your neighbor’s cat.


  • There are cats that definitely come with pre-conditions. For example our last cat was abandoned and he chose us next. But first he spent about 4 months learning to like being outside. So until we moved* he wouldn’t let us keep him inside. He’d literally climb out the window, up the wood framing, to the roof, get into the pine trees and work his way down from there. Eventually we’d just get a meow at the front door when we thought he was still chilling in the living room.

    If you’re adopting a shelter cat or bringing up a kitten you should absolutely keep them inside. But some cats will let you know they have terms and conditions to your relationship.

    Note - Once we moved he no longer wanted to roam so much and was content with being a balcony cat. Which strongly suggests it was tied to some idea of territory or familiarity with that area.




  • When I was a kid we did one of those adventure outings with zip lines and obstacle courses on the wooded back area of an old farm. The farm had a couple dogs that were notorious for stealing food as a pair. We were warned but we could never have been ready. One dog waltzed right into our lunch circle and flopped for belly rubs. The other dog started grabbing brown bags full of food. When he was done the dog doing the distraction jumped up and sprinted away. The employees knew what was happening as soon as the first dog rolled over though. So we did get our lunches back.
