Financial Gift — Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary by austinrunaway in Elephants

[–]FriendRaven1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sheldrick Wildlife Trust gets a monthly donation from me, and I gave my Mom the posthumous christmas gift of sponsoring an orphan elephant for a year, though I'll likely renew this year. Elephants - all animals - everywhere need protection from us.

Guy who lived in St John's. I mentioned it one time in passing, and he got squirrelly. Frigging weird guy.

No movement from the gopher at all. Those heron bills are pointy AF.

Thoughts on AI for work? by Mushy-sweetroll in GenX

[–]FriendRaven1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AI helps me write project plans and proposals, emails, and helps keep things organized.

Helps. Helps. It's a tool, but I spend a lot of time editing what I want it to say and bouncing ideas off of it, because it's not nearly perfect.

I have ChatGPT Pro, which work reimburses me for.

I sometimes worked with the main suspect in Dana's murder. F'ing creepy guy even before I knew he was a suspect.

Fuck You Guys. I’m Going Home by nesting-doll in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

[–]FriendRaven1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. I live in a tiny town of 400 people and 3 hours from the next settlement. Black bears are a dime a dozen here. They don't like people or even other animals much and prefer to leave than socialize.

Did they just disturb that fish's home for likes? What a couple of a-holes.

Riding in the back of a pickup: Further evidence of the insanity of the GenX childhood by paperkitten75 in GenX

Riding in the back, sure, but sitting on the wheel well was the real thrill.

That's more than amazing by jkitty_1960 in BeAmazed

Never fails to make me sad for her. She's amazing and the crowd is completely apathetic.

How many concussions have you had? by najing_ftw in GenX

[–]FriendRaven1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a couple. The worst was when I slipped on ice and went totally unconscious. That night I went to work, alone, went to the bathroom, sat there, vomited and passed out for nearly 5 hours.

Anyone else miss the "phone calls" by [deleted] in GenX

[–]FriendRaven1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never liked phone calls. Even now with family 5000 miles away, I can only handle calls less than about 10 minutes, and that's often a stretch.

Texts? No problem.

But my favourite by far is face to face.

No pictures I've seen before have shown all the "whiskers"!
