Chat, is it considered “abusive roommate behavior” to release a raccoon into the living space after you have asked your roommate for months to please clean up their messes (they do not pay any of the mortgage)

For context, when I used to live alone I would do something called “Princess Time” where I would do an initial sweep (to remove any significant hazards) and then I would release a raccoon into the living area and clean. This helped because I would 1) feel like a princess and 2) the raccoon would bring attention to things my ADHD brain had decided to ignore and I’d quickly clean that stuff up.

So like, if I’m expected to clean the house now, I will be doing it in the way that is most effective for me. And anything that has not been cleaned up after months of having sit-down talks and sending reminders and being promised things will change, might be deemed “trash” by the trash panda and thrown away.

We haven’t done since we moved into the house, because I didn’t want to cause my roommate or their cats destress or have their things destroyed by a raccoon

I am a raccoon biologist and one of the few people in the state allowed to take in captive bred raccoons that had been possessed illegally. The raccoon in the photos is Moonshine, but she is currently at the animal sanctuary where I work as I had been quarantining multiple new intakes from an abuse case. I still have two males (Rum Tum Tugger and Electra) left in my home enclosure as we are getting them neutered and then hopefully sending them to an AZA accredited zoo.

I wanna make things very clear that underneath all the whimsy, I am a trained professional.

Those vibes are likely because I’m the original creator of Dashcon and my personality has not changed since 2012 lmao

Got sad today because two sixth grade students shared some inside joke that was so funny they collapsed against each other in giggles and I was hit with a massive wave of “I’ll never be young again.”

Got happy today because one of those same sixth graders (they’re seventh graders now) approached me after seeing me have a irrepressible giggle with a friend and said “you and [my friend] are just like me and [his friend], you can’t stop laughing.”

This is genuinely so important. If the only people a kid can look up to are serious and authoritative 100% of the time, kids start to assume that they have to abandon whimsy, imagination, and silliness to grow up and to be taken seriously. Don’t do it. Stay silly.

all engineers are brothers (found attached to a steamship's engine):

1. 'The Squeak' apparently is originating from the Low Pressure (LP) valve. This is a large "D" slide valve with a lot of metal to metal contact. 2. We have inspected the valve, seat and LP cylinder and piston numerous times. We can find no evidence of rubbing, galling, burnishing, or any other sign of metal to metal contact. 3. 'The Squeak' is dependent on engine speed and temperature; as the engine heats up 'The Squeak' increases. Inexplicably, as the speed increases the sound decreases. 4. Suggestions about using WD-40 or needing sewing machine oil are not helpful. 5. If you wish to discuss 'The Squeak' with the Chief Engineer please donate $1 to The Squeak Abatement Fund to aid in construction of a new LP valve. If too many passengers speak with the Chief regarding 'The Squeak', the donation may be diverted to the Chief's beer fund.

So, my iPod does this fucking genius factory thing where it forgets which artwork goes with which album and it makes guesses. Because it’s pretty sure I won’t notice.

Needless to say, I noticed.

the most 2014 post possible

a while ago I read this sci-fi short story from the 50s where a guy is kidnapped and interrogated by aliens using a very sophisticated lie detector, but he realizes that the lie detector works off technical truth, and with some careful phrasing and misdirection, he manages to make them believe that humans are a race of immortal, overpowered, omniscient telepathic beings. and it works.

my favorite part is when he tells them that humans are "capable of transportation without the aid of spaceships or any vehicles, just by using mental power to control physical matter". it's true, we can. it's called walking.

okay I found it, it's The Best Policy by Randall Garrett

and it has other gems such as "I know beyond a shadow of a doubt what every member of my race thinks of you" (they don't know you exist) and "every human knows exactly as much about the location of your home planet as I do" (nothing)

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

concept: Lal drops something and goes "fuck!"

everyone stares at her in horror. the number one suspect? Lore, of course. everyone turns to him, demanding an explanation.

the sound of another object shattering on the ground catches everyone's attention. "ah, fuck," a familiar voice says.

again, everyone stares in horror.

Data. Lal was imitating Data.

In my head/fic canon, the only reason Data isn't seen or heard swearing more is because canonically he follows protocol, and generally speaking swearing isn't allowed in the spaces where he is most likely to swear.

When he does swear on the bridge in the movies, it is specific and highlighted as purposeful swearing due to extreme reasons, ie he wants to emphasise to Picard that he is stepping out of protocol with "to hell with our orders" or he is in a low-control situation crashing while still very new to his emotion chip.

But Data is constantly exploring ways to be "more human" in mannerisms and communications, so it makes sense that he'd try on some swears where protocol would allow it. The TV show does not afford us many of those moments, at least not for out-loud swearing. It's reasonable to imagine he might've sworn as a test to see if Spot would heed his instructions any better that way (of course she wouldn't). That time he inadvertently chucked Geordi across engineering, while we saw a comedic mug pull (because Spiner liked to do those any chance he got), it's reasonable to think that Data might have sworn internally.

Further, we do learn over shows in less restrictive TV eras that other people do swear, various captains have various thresholds about rules pertaining to swearing, what constitutes a swear changes drastically over time (both in our real world and their world (which is definitely also real and nobody can tell me otherwise!!!!)), and there are so many other changing parameters that absolutely I believe Data swears.

Also, it would make sense that Lore would swear less because of how often he is trying to seem like "not such a bad guy" or outright pretending to be Data, whom Lore perceives as a goody-two-shoes. Where Data would program himself with scripts to avoid swearing in many situations due to Starfleet protocol or learned probability of social conflict, Lore would program himself with scripts to avoid swearing any time he wishes to be manipulative, which is going to be almost all of the time.

Therefore logically yes, of course it makes sense that Data swears more than Lore. Thank. you for coming to my TrekTalk.
