          yup, zero jump scares and nice people ☺️ No jokes that were insults, just gentle humour. No murders.

          tho there was a little expose of the corruption of the archaeology field by big business but Lance took the moral stand.

    TIL you get a small bag of corn chips like Doritos or whatever, smoosh it up a bit, open it and put your taco meat in and the rest. It’s called a “walking taco”

    I’m sure it’s tasty but I don’t like the idea of eating hot meat out of a chip bag.

      I’ve seen an IG reel about a food truck that “specialises” in it - you show up with whatever chips you want, pick out the taco meat and topping that you want and they put it straight into the bag. Can’t say I have any interest, but also won’t yuck someone else’s yum!

          It is, just all the taco stuff but in a salad bowl - lettuce, tomato, onion, salsa, sour cream, grated cheese, chilli, corn chips, jalapenos maybe avocado when the market is up. Heavy on the salads to get that daily veg up.

    My little dog has hurt himself. I let him out for a piss this morning and he came in limping. It doesn’t help that he leaps off the porch like a superhero. He seems to be getting better but I’m still keeping an eye on him.

          It took my Toby a little while to use his ramp when he was getting older, but once he learnt that going the ramp didn’t hurt like jumping, he got a lot better. Plus teaching via yummo treats.

      Power trips. I’ve had a Woolies’ worker demand to check my bags and receipt (all goods bought at Aldi). I just said no and walked out.

      Absolutely zero consequences.

      If they want to search you, tell them to ring the police or get out your way.

        Technically they can citizens arrest you, but it’s such a massive legal can of worms that they’re told not to. Even during security guard training they basically told us it’s not worth whatever hassle comes of it. Plus if you feel you’re innocent, you can defend yourself against the crime of kidnapping using reasonable and proportionate force.

          Our local shopping centre does employ some gung-ho looking security guards, but all they do is call the cops. Not like I’m trying to cause trouble, I just want to pay and leave without getting questioned.

            Basically unless they’ve seen you steal something and haven’t lost sight of you since it happened, they have very little legal right to detain you.

        I’m sure the minimum-wage-slave who was just doing what their boss ordered them to do (as their boss watches on to make sure they’re being “assertive” enough) really cares that you said no… they’ll totally lose sleep over it, that’ll teach 'em for following orders.

          If they have a reason to delay me, that’s fine. Otherwise, I paid for my goods and I’m leaving. It’s not about them losing sleep, it’s about the principle.

            And I’m sure if someone turned up at your workplace and gave you attitude for just doing your job you’d just love it.

            As someone in a role where I often have to be the punching bag and just cop it over decisions that are 100000% outside of my control, I have ZERO tolerance for people who treat front line workers like they’re the enemy. By all means I agree that it’s crap and customers shouldn’t be treated like criminals, I’m with you there, but take it up with their management don’t make the workers day any worse than it already no doubt is.

        We managed to get through the appointment with her being unhappy but not completely terrified. I saw that the vet has a big red flag on her file with “warning: nervous patient”.

        She received a clean bill of health, except for her weight. She at least hasn’t gained anything since the last visit, but she also hasn’t lost anything.
