Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

I would personally have to judge the situation. And that would be an un-haltered horse.




pound for pound chihuahuas are meaner than than SHIT!

if the need arose one of these would fly 5 metres when i kicked it - try that with a german shepherd (it was one of these that sponsored the chopper rtide)

a dog facillitated my first chopper ride (it was free but i didn't see much as i was on a stretcher) - i'm a canophobe, nothing else - i don't change the street side when i see an unleashed horse (i do that for dogs above a certain size)

I'd definitely be a lot more concerned about an unbridled horse wandering around than I would a dog, since people don't tend to let horses wander lose the way some people do dogs.

Yeah, I've seen a lot more mean little dogs than I have big dogs. I've kind of developed a rule that the smaller an dog is the meaner it probably is. Same actually seems to apply to horses too, I've seen a lot of stories of temperamental little ponies, but most of big drafts, like Percheron's or Clydesdale, I've seen, are big ol' sweet hearts.

OK, and yes, I know it's man as in mankind, but my question still stands.

"Man's best friend " means all mankind's friend . Mankind is a term that describes all humanity, and last time I checked, women are also people.

Language is sexist like that.

Yeah, I know, I was just trying to make a joke out of the fact that it is "man" instead of a person or something like that. Obviously it didn't work. I was just curious to see what answers people would give me, I was originally thinking cats, since I kind of think of them as the opposite of dogs, the way a woman is the opposite of a man. I asked my mom before I posted it, and she said a horse, since almost every girl goes through a horse phase.

I was thinking about whether a flat Earth has a spherical moon

or it's an entirely flat solar system

But then I found this article talking about conservation of angular momentum in the solar system, which was fun and also helps me understand the asteroid belt too.

I'm a lot more afraid people than I am any animal. I have no problem walking up to a strange animal (as long as the owner is OK with it), but it takes every bit of willpower that I have to approach a strange person. Put in a room or barn or whatever full of animals, and I'm happy as can be, but put in a room full people I don't know and I'm probably going to run and hide.

Does the Millenium Falcon remind anyone of the Vulcan salute?

Well, this diagram makes no sense.

I mean... Earth should be at the centre, right?!

That's the beauty of it! As science it's ridiculous but as fantasy it's fascinating and every depiction can hold up in alternate universes. Maybe in one we're on the back of that giant turtle.

Some people actually seem to think that a single guy who likes cats or has a cat is somehow "unmanly." Which is ridiculous, of course. Just try telling that to Ernest Hemingway!

My mom has been really sick in the hospital since Saturday. She went through the second of (probably) three surgeries today and she did well.
I'm feeling a little more positive now.

Do Star Trek characters other than Chakotay have tattoos? Do you reckon there are characters with tattoos of the Starfleet arrowhead or the Federation flag logo or like weird shit like the Denebian slime devil or something? I want to say yes.

Eating lunch at the Subway by the courthouse. I'm surrounded by 12 or so very large, armed Texas State policemen in uniform. Apparently, this is *the* lunch place for people who work at the courthouse and jail.

Never felt so safe in my life.

But I had my "Juror" badge on, so none of them could talk to me.

How exactly do influencers make $$$ off of their social media accounts? Is it just through sponsorships or do actually have way to make money off of getting so many followers, and likes, views, shares, ect.?
I'm not wanting to do it myself, it's just that several of the people I follow on Instgram appear to have social media as their one and only job, and I've never really understood exactly how that works.

There are multiple ways to earn--by pushing specific brands and earning commission, by placing ads on their sites and earing cash per views, by selling things directly from their site, etc.
