I don't have social batteries that big. Crowds just make me nervous. 2019 was pushing it and knowing that its like 5,000 people bigger then that year now is just ugh...

The first one was actually a combined effort between MNFurs and the defunct "Suit up Saturday" group. But yes; MNFurs was involved with both.

Its hard to believe that the Mall of America has been around for 30 years at this point... And that Lego Land is one of the few things that has mostly not changed in all that time.

All I can find is that someone bought the original movie costume on auction and its behind glass in a private collection. Lets just say time hasn't been kind to it (its kind of falling apart) and its starting to look like a FNAF animatronic.

Up here its scalloped potatoes. So it is a cheese bake of sorts technically but its not Mac and Cheese

Don't get me wrong I love mac and cheese but I have yet to see a single family have it as"Traditional Holiday Food"

Mac and Cheese? Who eats Mac and Cheese for Turkey day? Probably the same people who order Domino's Pizza to go with it

I know who you are talking about and he was at the Stillwater Romp too. Reminds me a lot of an older fur we had in the group a few years back. I have social anxiety and I can relate to it but there's a very far extreme when it mixes with a try hard which makes a difficult and very awkward situation

Also, I should mention these were taken with my Nikon Z5 mirrorless camera

Yeah, sadly I need to work tommorow and the view at my house is terrible, so I need to drive somewhere to get a clear view. I had to drive to a local park to get these; and this is what I could manage in the 30 mins I had free tonight

I'd actually argue the opposite honestly because 10 years ago more people were out shooting with these instead.

Generally if you discuss hobbies with the interviewer and they express genuine interest its a very good sign. You typically don't get that level of engagement in interviews anymore (I've never had it happen to me)

So the choice was do you keep giving the far right the shutdown that they want till people starve, planes fall out of the sky, and the orange turd uses it as an excuse to fire every federal employee he doesn't like or?

Unfortunately it was a no-win Scenario and the Far Right knew this. They were gleeful at the shut down and if they had their way would have made it permanent so they could furlough and fire all the Federal workers they want and use it as an excuse to blame the "Demoncrats" for it all.
