Sitting next to this strange couple. This lady, well into her 60's, more like 70's, has never heard of a fucking magnet. And her partner is trying to explain it. And he sucks at it, but really, how do you explain a magnet?

He keeps saying that big horseshoey thing thats red and attracts metal. She has no idea what he means.

Good Lord.

Okay certain things have some bits and others have opposite bits and they want to be together so if you get them all lined up the right way they will stick together.

This is not about gender.

So now Im sitting next to this nice looking old lady in the lounge. She opens up her laptop and almost plugs her headphones in tonlisten to the most virulent anti-semetic thing I have ever heard. Guess she was listening to the damb Ayatollah on full volume.

I had to get up and put my hand on her shoulder and say "maam your headphones aren't plugged in".

I don't think the Ayatollah was super antisemitic? There is a Jew presence in Iran. In fact, Amerisrael just bombed some synagogues!

It's weird being here in Turkiye, and knowing a ton of Iranian folk. They were all happy that the Ayatollah was killed. But know they're all ehhhhhh, let us kinda people power this through, America. Fuck off.

First, doves are squab birds, which means it is not their fault that they are here; they were brought here by colonizers.
Second, the same is true of pigeons, and there is no meaningful taxonomical distinction between the two.
They were brought here as food supply, similar to how rabbits were brought to Australia, and in both cases colonizer failed to understand the environment into which they were introducing the species.
And then they were abandoned by the people who meant to take care of then and just gave up.
They are not pets, they are food that people decided weren't worth it.

But yes I do love pigeons, whenever I go to a nicer neighborhood I see fat birds who aren't scared of shit, they won't even try to get out of your way, you ever get your ass whupped? I can walk back home and see a pigeon eating out of a Popeye's box and look at me like I'm next.

What in the fuck is you talking about.

Did you just look a YouTube segment for a space mission.

Do you want a Challenger Lego to play with.
Would that help with your enrichment needs.
There is some assembly and disassembly required.
