Yooo me too! Moths freak me out more, but butterflies are pretty close. I usually just hide under a big blanket whenever a moth makes it into my apartment and let my husband handle it, but he recently moved out for work. I only cry a little bit when I have to confront them myself 😎
I also can’t stand Jellyfish to such a degree that I refuse to go into any open water. Even stuff like lakes and Rivers, which probably don’t have Jellyfish, but the idea just freaks me out too much.
The only memory I have of my 3DS is being really into a game and playing for so long that I was really really hungry. Then I turned on the 3D slider to get motion sick and not hungry anymore to continue playing the game. Perfect problem solving skills here.
I held a basic digital security course for the 6th-8th graders when I was in 12th. My favorite topic from that was Phishing and Password theft.
I only had the time and resources for some PowerPoint slides of emails, where students could point out what exactly is suspicious but that wasn’t very engaging.
If I had the time though, I would have set up some trackable links for the students and told them to try Phishing School staff and their friends/parents. It would have been some free pen-testing for the school, plus students would have been way more willing to internalize information that allows them to do something “naughty”. The main point is that most digital risks don’t come from some high-concept hacking, but from social engineering and a moment of inattention. Everyone can fall for it, no matter how smart they think they are. I think that’s an important lesson to learn.
Do they still sell the Pipetting silly straws somewhere? I was in a Bio lab last week and they didn’t have any (but still told everyone to NOT pipette the E.Coli with their mouths) so I really want to try that now
Talking in brackets to say the thing you actually mean is so Autism coded (I do it too)
The software company I work for is killing all legacy on-prem software in 2025 and replacing it with a modular AWS based system of single-page websites. Many customers are old-school and hesitant about anything cloud-related, but it worked out beautifully so far. The shutdown hasn’t happened yet tho, so we’ll see how many lawsuits roll in when it does lol
Has that ever actually worked? Cause I know no examples of universally “reclaimed” words. Just some that are fine if you strictly use them to refer to yourself.
You can empty the bag without throwing it away?? I always thought those bags were supposed to be tossed as they are when they’re full :o
… I’ve done neither haha
Oh, definitely my vacuum cleaner. I have never changed the bag on that thing. And I dread the day that it will become necessary.
I love the entire “Autistic Reporter” Series for some reason lol
Jambon-Beurre!! With some freshly baked warm Ciabatta-esque bread 😍
I know, my brain is just very unhappy when it registers one :') I am getting better at it tho, only cried a little bit the last time a moth made it into my apartment
I am down to respectfully admire any snake, but moths freak me tf out sorry
My girl figured out how to get up to the cage around her heat bulb tonight. She got stuck up there for half an hour and then just gave up and fell. Truly scary creatures.
That snake is a Banded Krait and not poisonous but venomous.
Whoa, that sounds exhausting haha! Do they need like, moisturizer to help them shed? :o
Revy is a Ball Python, her morphs are Black Pastel, Lesser and GHI (maybe also Confusion and maybe het Clown, the breeder wasn’t sure). Surprisingly, the cool stripe isn’t from something like the Genetic Stripe morph, just a weird effect from the combination of her 3 morphs. Her mom (also BP, Lesser and GHI) actually looks super similar, but has random breaks in the stripe, so Revy just got lucky I guess!
Realistically? I’d play video games all day and die at 35. I kinda need work for the daily structure and the socialization.
Superb nakey wrinkly man!!! That Beardie morph was called something like Silkback or Leatherback right? Do they still slightly change their color like normal Beardies? :o
I’d go with the same gist of answer! I’d get some fun snack for my girl Revy, maybe Quail or African Soft Fur, and the rest of the budget would go to random fun enrichment items :)
Honestly, anything over 30k wouldn’t really be worth it. Way easier to get a nice vacation and some therapy sessions for the same money instead of being that mad at someone.
