    Baristas can get crazy connections lol. My friend had a wedding venue cancel and keep their deposit at the start of covid. Tons of arguments and calls and threats. His (now) wife is a barista and had a regular that was a lawyer, she mentioned it to him and sued the venue for their money back and more, pro bono didn’t charge them anything 👌

    I grew up with cows. They’re surprisingly similar to dogs. Just as playful, just not as bright. They’re awesome.

      I had a family member that was a traveling cow inseminator and he loved cows. I was at a steak house with him and asked why he is eating a giant steak for dinner if he loved cows so much. He kind of just shrugged and said “without the steak, I wouldn’t get to hang around cows all day”

      Spending part of my summer with him was illuminating. I bet beef would be way less popular if people got a chance to pet a cow regularly. Very smart animals, at least emotionally smart.

    Only part I don’t buy is that they were like “ok fuck it” after work, like they were reluctant. Don’t pretend you weren’t working distracted all day, waiting to go play with those cows.

      I think the op meant that they weren’t so sure IF there even are any cows to begin with - as in it might be a scam…that’s how I interpret it anyway.

      Edit: nonetheless, cows are very cute and I’m jealous of this person.

        I took it as feeling maybe a little too eager and not wanting to irritate new cow friends despite “come on over any time”. Is that like really anytime, or sometime in the future but same day may be weird,…nah, fuck it.

          Both, I don’t want to bug my cow friend but also what if they’re just a human trafficker and I may never see anyone I know ever again
