  • please tip

    I’ve actually started carrying cash again for the first time in 20 years because I’m sick of every fucking POS machine in the world asking for tips. Yes, I can choose not to tip, but there’s an emotional cost associated with that decision. There’s a cost associated with just seeing the option instead of being able to simply pay for my item and go about my day.

    kept as a pet because when he (allegedly) tried to release the squirrel it turned up at his door sometime later injured again

    My friend’s dad cut a tree down in their yard that had a squirrel nest in it. He didn’t know about the nest when he cut the tree down. Unfortunately the mom died when the tree was felled, and the babies couldn’t survive on their own. My friend’s family bottle fed the babies and raised them until they were old enough to be released. The squirrels never left. They’d run around in the trees and stuff, but they’d come back to the house, wanting to go to tier little beds at night, and get free nuts and stuff. They’d also tear around the house if the weather wasn’t good that day. So, I completely believe that the squirrel came back after being released.

    Edit: before the NYC animal department gets any bright ideas, this was 20 years ago, and in a completely different State.
