I grew up in a very conservative household and my parents were very against having any sex ed taught in schools - but they never taught me anything at home, either, other than “don’t have sex until you’re married” (at which point I guess they expected the Magical Sex Fairy would show up and tell me all about how it…

About ten years ago they used to have a cookie that was, as I recall, a cinnamon shortbread-ish sandwich cookie with lemon filling, and that would take the #2 spot for me if it still existed. Lemonades are sort of kind of reminiscent of it, but just not good enough. :(

There really is something police can do about it, or at least try to do about it - it would probably take going above the heads of patrol officers to police administration, though, and showing just how many times police have been called. Of course, that depends on how sympathetic the adminstration of that particular…

The “defensiveness” is because I’ve had a lot of concern trolls responding to me, so.

By law? Not that I’m aware of, which is why I never used the phrase “by law” in my comment.

If I had ever refused to send on a call I would’ve been fired immediately - we’d had a big lawsuit only a couple years before I was hired where a dispatcher didn’t think a call was an emergency and the caller died, so we HAD to send on everything, no matter how stupid we personally thought it was.

Calls are dispatched according to urgency. “Suspicious black man standing at bus stop” might very well sit for two hours before an officer is available to go, but we still had to send someone. Accordingly, your local police force might have been busy with life-or-death calls, which always take priority over property…

Oh wow I feel your pain. :/ We had a couple of Hispanic, a Polynesian, and a Native American officer and people would flat out refuse to talk to them (or call us to complain that we’d sent “one of those damn Mexicans” to their house).

....why do I need this?

Well, as I said in the original comment, 99.999999% of the calls were nothing. Which implies that .000001% were something.

I used to work for 911 and I quickly lost count of the number of people who called to report a suspicious black person. When asked what made them suspicious, the caller would always say “well, they’re black” or “they don’t belong in this neighborhood” or something along those lines. 99.999999% of the time, said person…

Campfire sauce is amazing with steak fries. Love that stuff.

Fry sauce is best when it isn’t just mayo and ketchup. Taco sauce is a good addition. So is barbecue sauce.

Oh, did you think I was talking about going on to the next episode when I’m binge-watching? No, I mean when I’m trying to scroll through stuff to watch and it starts playing previews.

..........brb going to PC settings

...............WHAT.

All I want is a way to scroll through Netflix without having to feel rushed to move onto the next option before the auto-play starts. :/

When I’m browsing for something to watch I hate the autoplay because I feel like I have to either speed-read the summary or just keep scrolling really fast so I don’t get the stupidly loud trailer music blasting at me.

Wait a sec - that first “daily” research thing has a “win 3 raid battles” requirement. You’re supposed to do three raid battles in one day?
