Turns out dogs are perfectly fine eating milk chocolate. I know this because I had a dog who jumped up on a table and ate an entire package of Hershey’s kisses once. We thought she was a goner, but poison control said she’d be fine and she was. High quality dark chocolate is what poisons dogs

you can’t brick my cat

Is this a challenge

Much better choice than Thin Mints. Thin Mints…blech

“What was life like before Wikipedia?”

“Well, you see, in the year 7000 BC…”

TIL the entirety of recorded human history was just a transition period between the oral tradition and Wikipedia lmao

I have not

She should document absolutely everything and then seek a protective order in whatever jurisdiction she’s in. She should also really consider setting up a camera to record any areas she’s concerned he will visit or vandalize again. Video evidence will be actionable where harassment through email/text frequently is not actionable. She could maybe reach out to a domestic violence shelter in her area for advice too, as they should be experts on this type of situation

What hubris? They did what they needed to in supporting Ukraine and it’s been incredibly successful, given popular sentiment was Ukraine would fall within days of the invasion. Are you just going to ignore Russian hubris here, invading a giant sovereign nation and exposing the weaknesses in your military along the way? Lmao

What about the US/NATO response do you find so amusing?

Mfers will see you not order a meat dish at a restaurant and take offense and try to bait you into an argument

Who does this?! I’ve gone out to eat with vegan friends many times, and this has never happened, not once. And I live in Texas

Totally this. I have friends who are vegan, everyone in our group knows they’re vegan, and they never stand in judgment of those of us who eat meat or talk about being vegan or why they’re vegan unless they’re asked. Simply modeling their diet with total non-judgment has made them some of the best ambassadors for veganism I’ve ever met. Almost all of us have reduced our meat consumption over time as a result

All beliefs and practices impact others, because they guide your behavior and your behavior impacts others. It’s up to you whether you decide to bring your beliefs and practices into every conversation, but the person you’re talking to is likely to think you’re unpleasant to be around. This is especially true if you place your belief or practice in judgment of someone else’s.

So sure, you can be vocal if that’s what you want to do, but you’re also likely to suffer social consequences, which is what OP is asking about avoiding.

Obviously this is entirely your choice to make, but this all sounds really rigid and restrictive. If you view someone telling you about their weekend as “wasting time,” I have to wonder if that mentality cuts into your personal life too. It’s totally reasonable to make friends at work. If the concern is that they’d bring your personal drama to work, then just don’t involve them in any personal drama and you’re gold.

There are large departments within large for-profit companies whose entire raison d’être is to lie to the public to make the large company seem better than it actually is.

See: marketing and public relations

Why would anyone ever trust what’s said by a company’s own staff who are paid by the company to say things good about the company

That sounds awful all around

You seem really angry for someone who never even tried to answer OP’s question. What specifically should they be archiving, oh wise one?

Which journals does the federal government own?

Your “small city” has more people than 5 US states

Of course the federal government has a great deal of influence over current and future research, but that isn’t the topic. OP’s asking about existing literature.

Lajitas, Texas, which once elected as their mayor a goat that drank beer, has a population of 75.

Terlingua, Texas, as made famous by Jerry Jeff Walker and home of the Terlingua International Chili Cook-off, has a population of 78.

Luckenbach, Texas, as made famous by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, has a population of 3.
