I once had to help an ass that had either been dumped or escaped and ended up at a park until the animal wrangling guy came. It was the sweetest creature I could ever imagine. All it wanted was to stand next to me and lightly push its head against my arm until I gave it pets and scratches. One of the best 30 minutes of my life.
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.
Heh, the amerikkkan answer is simple: don’t let them rent next to you. They’ve accomplished it by ridiculous rent prices, charging inmates to be in jail (so they come out with debt), and shackling them to low paying jobs.
sometimes nvidia drivers are in a state that breaks display reinit on wake from sleep
Hmm, got a question for you about that. What did that appear as for you? Just a black screen and nothing else if it went to sleep?
I had a recently installed app fuck something in my settings so my display is going to sleep after 10 minutes, and when I wake it up I get a normal appearing lock screen with a login. If I login, the screen goes black and all I can see is the mouse cursor. I think about 1 time in 10 it will have no issues and I get back to whatever I’m doing.
Some of it is a little too much, browsing all. I think I once saw an account with a dude and a very ugly sex doll.
current evidence suggests that your body has to re-learn what’s good and what’s bad almost from scratch
While that’s horrifying, I wonder if it could offer a glimpse into ways to get rid of allergies.
so instead they bribed lots of game developers to make things Epic exclusive.
Fuck Epic. I just lost the ability to play rocket league because they bought the developers, ripped it off of steam, and now force you to agree to some wickedly invasive TOS to have an epic account.
Your original comment isn’t that far off, though. Donkeys are often kept with other animals because they can be ornery and mean as fuck, killing predators that come near where they’re being corralled. They’re known as the rural alarm system for a reason.
