    I find a lot of times, turning around a passive aggressive statement or a creepy compliment or a double standard rule, turn it around on the person who said it to you, it's quite hilarious. They usually "get" what you're saying, they usually don't have a response, but at the very least, you can get really good at turning comments around. Practice makes perfect

    As with any social media, Twitter took a moment to really find its audience, but its golden age was in many ways dominated by writers and comedians. In short, as it turns out, the character limitations are a perfect way to stimulate people’s creativity, as it takes away all the “freedom” that can leave creative folks struggling to come up with new ideas.

    After all, on Twitter, you need to be short and catchy which, as it turns out, is a very important strategy in comedy as well. It’s very hard to make a joke that needs ten minutes of setup without a punchline.

    This is a fantastic idea. It could be implemented on a city wide level. Libraries for happy et companions. The adoption rates would inevitably go through the roof.

    my campus has a doggy day. They bring a bunch of emotional support dogs into one of the gyms and let the students play and pet. The photos that come out of that event are great. So many happy dogs being happily petted.

    I wouldn't trust all of the students with unsupervised custody of dogs they don't know. Besides the potential for improper handling, they may not know how to handle any problem moments. Play time with them in a monitored location could be ideal for all.

    Some shelters do this! You can check out a dog and take them for walks. The dogs get socialized and exercise and people might adopt them.

    A shelter brings adoptable dogs up to the college where I work every once in a while (mostly finals week). It is a really good program. I live in a rich area where having a registered dog is very much a status symbol. Once people see how adorable some of the mutts are, they sometimes break down and adopt instead of purchase.

    This is a good idea in theory, but I’m not sure about the reality. I’m thinking of all the dogs who are never taken out or when they are alone all night. I’m sure this could be overcome, though.

    I would think peer pressure would keep that under control. Also you, and some others on this subject, are selling the college students pretty short. Is it a case of " she doth protest too much"?

    Why is it that regular people like Us can come up with amazing ideas to help the world, the rest of us understand that this is a great idea, and yet the people that are paid untold hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to be in government can't come up with anything even remotely clever?

    It is a great idea, but how can you be sure the person having the dog will be kind to it. Real adoption centers check before giving away animals.

    NVM supervised access - supervised practice for veterinary students. Dogs get basically free healthcare (minus the cost of meds) and the students get used to handling a variety of dogs whose history may or may not be known.

    People who are good at “Tweeting” (or posting, depending on your preference in phrase) know that you have to communicate your story or setup very quickly, to get across your idea in, literally, a handful of words. This is often a lot harder than it seems, as anyone who has tried to reduce an idea to a few sentences can attest to.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The flipside is that, if you have a good feed, you can truly hit a joke a minute just browsing Twitter (or X, if you really insist) on an average day. Of course, with more algorithmic content, you will also get exposed to some more questionable ideas, but at the very least, you are unlikely to be bored.

    I'd be so much more well-adjusted if I'd had this. Having said that, I (on my own) made friends with as many adults as I could from a tiny age onwards. Ex: when I was 4 or 5 and the kids in school went onto the playground for recess, I went into the school kitchen, sat on a stool and ate toast and (maturely) chatted with the kitchen staff. Age 10 or 11 I would make friends and go out on outings with teachers (the young ones - probably student teachers in their 20s). Ha - I even remember when I was also about 4 or 5, riding the bus with my brothers (no parents) and making friends with whoever was seated behind me - often this was the big HS kids riding in the back of the bus. One of them, a tall black guy, brought me a tiny troll doll, which totally kicked off my childhood collection of trolls (zero barbies). Good memories during kind of tough times. Thanks for reading.

    Sounds like a story I heard when I was pregnant: A woman showed up at the hospital in advanced labour. The medic wheeled her into the hospital lift and she started saying "I think the baby's coming out right heeeeeeeere!" After she calmed the woman down, the medic said "Don't worry love, we once had a lady give birth on the hospital lawn out the front!" And the birthing mother said: "I know! That was me!"

    My partner has a 20 year old daughter, their bathroom has (at the last count) 4,783 different products in it for use in the shower / bath. If the local spa runs short of a cleansing product they can give them a call. Me? I have one bottle there, it’s got a label that’s says 75 in 1 on it, or something like that. It’ll do hair, face, body, car parts, glassware, kitchens and industrial spillages 😂

    Had a good friend as a teenager and we grew apart after I went into the Navy and moved away. About 20 years ago I started trying to reconnect with him. Last year I found a memorial site for his sister who passed away about 23 years ago and through that found out he passed away almost 21 years ago. I miss both of you Pat and Lisa.

    I dont buy it. First of all this would be a conflict of interest that would have to be revealed and waived by all parties to continue the representation. Secondly how did it get all the way to a court date without him knowing the opposing attorney's name, there is a lot of paperwork and meetings before a court date. In fact most divorces only see a judge to certify the deal that was brokered between the parties, the actual negotiations and arguements are done between the attorneys or with the help of an arbitrator.

    Shatterproof does not mean breakproof. Back in the 80s when ketchup bottles were just starting to be made out of plastic I was at my buddies house and we were having burgers and hot dogs. He had a brand new 44 oz plastic bottle of ketchup that had shatterproof boldly printed on it. He looked at me, grinned and said "look, it's shatterproof" and dropped it from shoulder height. The bottle split neatly in two. I looked at him and said "well it didn't shatter".
