It, was a trap. Definitely a trap. Definitely were set up (with a bunch of cuties!)

Cats are people!
Humans suck, though.
I get annoyed by people reading only the headline and feeling like they have something useful to contribute.
how about people who do nothing except complain?
No my premise is the next is vending machines with firearms. Because dystopian hellholes are like that.
The reason to call the cops right off is so they get there faster.
If the kid is going to die in the seconds it takes to make get them rolling, they’re probably going to die outside the car, too. On the other hand, the sooner they get there, the faster they get advanced care.
Additionally, it provides a bit of legal protection, having dispatch on the phone.
Also, not even animal control will break into a car- they let the cops do that. The last time I dealt with it the cops waited for them to make the call that it was necessary.
There was a puppy in the back of an suv. The window was cracked but the puppy was in a dog crate covered in blankets. The car interior was just under the threshold at like 90 or something, but the crate when they did open it was at like 105. It was a little cocker spaniel that was the sweetest little cuddle-bug.
The assholes left the dog in the back in 90-degree weather to go to a baseball game. The worst part is that they could go pick up the dog after paying a fine. That dog deserved better humans.
I mean… you have a point. The people doing this don’t strike me as all that smart.
It might literally just be a snack machine.
I mean, you’re probably right. But I sort of rather assumed they’d be built like ATMs. which are totally easier to just steal the entire ATM and get the cash out while driving to the next ATM.
Had thought about this.
I wonder how easily these machines are to lift into a stolen UHAUL. Hypothetically one with a hastily installed wire mesh faraday cage… could probably get a lot of easily resold ammo.
It’s like this every year- absolutely packed with muggles!
So does that mean we now get an Antipope?
I’m being a bit tongue in cheek, though for the record it’s unlikely that Arthur or Excalibur actually existed. Where it’s known that Roland and Durendal did. (Albeit, without all the fantastic and magical attributes ascribed in the Matter of France).
I’m just a huge nerd and get annoyed when people mix up their magical swords.
CP77, the vending machiens that sell disposable pistols (that suck. heh.)
you’d think that’d be a recipe for, you know, getting a bunch of armed robbers hitting you store, but nooo. totally only going to be frequented by <checks notes> good guys with a gun.
(if you’re going to rob the store, rob the machine first, yeah?)
The irony here is that housing-first strategies are the best way to do that. They’re also the one these asshats are against.
it really is, lol.
it really really is. Another option, if you’re okay with it not being a floating shelf is a pair of keyhole brackets fixed to wooden braces. The braces then are bolted into the shelf board (You could leave them floating if there was no, uh, cat…).
Then, some glue-down carpet squares for traction. (if they’re up high you won’t see it so get the ugliest cheapest discards you can! I mean, uh… go for that cyberpunk-chiq look. )
looks solid.
Kitty approves. now you need a run up near the ceiling, circling the room and into the kitchen, to another tree.
Also maybe a remote laser turret to get the birbs outside with. more PEW PEW is always appropriate.
I wonder if they realize that kids know how to use VPNs,
Not by vets… and certainly not without consent.
But men get it done all the time. For us it’s called a “vasectomy”.
Well…. You can eat a urinal cake. I’m not sure why you’d want to, and it most certainly wouldn’t be all that fun.
But you could.
