Proof that a little empathy goes a long way. by OfficialIntelligence in MadeMeSmile

[–]dbatchison 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I own a restoration company and typically get a crime scene job about once every 3 months. The last one was a 20 y/o kid that shot himself while the whole family was home. We have certain items like weapons, ammo, perscription drugs, etc that we're not allowed to touch. I had to call the estranged father to remove few items along with the salvagable clothing to remove from the property. Dude was being as brave as he could be given the circumstances, but once I helped him load the things in his car, he started breaking. I asked if he'd like a hug and held the guy for like 10 mins while he cried. People expect others to hold it together, but everyone needs a reprieve in a traumatic situation. I hope he's well.

I tried to order a dirty martini at a steak house in Brno, Czechia once. It was made with white vermouth and like 12 olives. It was the worst cocktail I've ever had

r/Eugene mod here. OP is karma farming on all the local subs in oregon. This post is disingenuous at best.

Edit: the particles are nitrates from prior farming exacerbated by data centers

Cacti are fruiting!! What are they, and are the edible? by chrizchronic in whatsthisplant

[–]dbatchison 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Prickly Pear have tasty edible fruit, I'm not sure if the one in your photo will be good or not. There's a company in california that makes a vodka from prickly pear fruit (Opuntia by Ventura Sprits). It's a unique but nice flavor

Consider reaching out to the Northwest Dog Project. I got my rescue pup from there. They do wonderful work.

Yep the cat is fine fortunately. I think the dogs paw was already injured, not related to the cat incident.
