I used to work for a computer repair place long, long ago and I was on the laptop repair line.

I went to unscrew a laptop but for some reason my screwdriver wasn’t catching the screw… a coworker took the screwdriver and put more force into and there was sickening crunch that wasn’t hardware…

He removed the screw along with an impaled dead baby cockroach…

But this isn’t the end. Oh no.

When that screw came out with its buddy they had friends.

A lot of friends.

Flooding out of that tiny screwhole like something from a god damn horror movie.

We bagged that up and sent it back to the customer. It did not get repaired that day to say the least.

In my opinion and experience with my boy Takeo, not any more difficult than any other dog.

Puppy phase was hell but…well, puppies are always going to be a handful until they learn not to chew things and such.

They’re definitely not an off-leash breed though - they are notorious runners.

I know a lot of people claim them to be high strung but my boy isn’t at all. Not sure if I just got lucky and my boy is a rare Chill Shibe or if people exaggerate their temperament. He’s a lot easier for me to deal with than our german shepherd, whom I love dearly but her energy level overwhelms me at times.

My shiba on the other hand is almost just like a cat in a dog’s body. He spends a lot of time napping, sometimes just likes to do his own thing, still comes to me for attention when he wants it and is usually happy to just lay on my lap and nap the day away.

I’d get another shiba if I could in a heartbeat LOL

It definitely is. There’s no mistaking them, they’re just so cute. I have a little black and tan shiba myself.

Pack Shibe!

I think this is very much an ‘each to their own’ thing.

I have a Loth Cat from Star Wars on my arm I got at Star Wars Celebration 2019 and so I get warm fuzziness and memories of that time when I see it there. It was a fun experience I got to have with my family… and a very cute little critter too.

Admittedly I’ve been asked many times if it was a Pokémon LOL

…It really does. Especially with the amount of word play Gintama uses frequently (Kanji play in this case? Not sure if it’s a ‘they just look similar written down’ thing or actually a verbal play too. I won’t pretend to know the word for hemorrhoids in Japanese LMAO)

Man, I miss Gintama.

I know a lot of people say it’s learned but I know I’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember and as a kid I initially never did it consciously.

I had adults get on me for ‘giving them a look’ when I was a kid but like… I wasn’t giving that look intentionally… it was just a natural reaction… I mean, usually when I thought something was stupid or it baffled/confused me in some way but I wasn’t intentionally giving ‘nasty looks’…

…The Spider Queen has cats? I might have to reconsider my religion…

Honestly the trailer killed any hope I had for it…

Kentucky also has the Hot Brown and Derby Pie.

Derby pie is delicious.

The wiki someone posted mentions blackberry as the state fruit, which I didn’t know but could definitely see. I have fond memories of picking blackberries outside so grandma could make blackberry cobbler.

As far as drinks go, we also have the Mint Julip and the Oaks Lily, which are basically signature drinks of the Kentucky Derby.

Cincinnati style chili is the only chili I actually like.

So far my favorite is Blue Ash Chili - I like to go there sometimes when I go to Cinci.

They have really good desserts there too…

I thought this was one of those things that only happened in women’s bathrooms. I guess guys do it too.

It always makes me wish I could fart loudly on command so who ever they’re talking to has to hear all that and maybe say something so people think twice before shitting and talking on the phone…

I just got mine today and I’ve been ridiculously excited about it. I can’t wait to get it hooked up, hopefully tomorrow.

Got a nice one too. It heats the seat and has a butthole dryer.

A butthole dryer…

…I shouldn’t be this excited but here we are.

…This isn’t supposed to happen until your 40s…?

[concern intensifies]

I have back problems so my dog can sleep comfortably.

He’s a very good boy so I’d definitely agree it is worth it.
