I've done some stuff through Appen before, it's AI training projects mostly, it's not well paid and the projects I've been on became a slog after a few weeks but it's work from home and you don't really have a boss. You're just expected to do your x hours of work on your project(s) per week.

I just did a bit of searching and apparently they lost their contact with Google and they got a lot of people during the pandemic (some have stuck around) so maybe not viable anymore.

If you found someone attractive, would you date them if you found out they were trans?

Can we consider degenerating from maga.place and hilariouschaos.com?

What are some things I can do in LA with limited mobility?

That's true, but Disneyland is still the place to be if you want to skip the line in a wheelchair - there's some rides that just can't be made into ADA compliant queues because of space limitations, or at least that's what I heard from other Cast Members when I did Studios in a wheelchair with a friend after I got injured.

Used to work at Disney World. Can confirm the squirrel amazement. (And I worked at Animal Kingdom, the squirrels occasionally got more attention than the actual zoo animals. Although the local ibises hanging out with the spoonbills were still cool.)

I'm originally from the Orlando area and worked for Disney for a while. Tourism folks there pass stories around and have their own folk tales of sorts. Your question reminds me of one of them.

Central Florida has anoles, little lizards, absolutely everywhere. A woman was working the front desk at a hotel, and a couple comes up to check in. She tells them the room number and hands then the key. A few minutes later the husband runs back up to the desk and tells her that "there's an alligator in our room!" "An alligator?!" She replies and they both rush to the hotel room, where she finds the wife screaming and pointing at the couch. "The alligator is under there!" The front desk worker lifts up one end of the couch and spots a four inch green anole. She catches it and sets it outside.

OP, I've never been to the UK, but don't you have hedgehogs? How common are they?

I'm originally from Florida and I moved to Minnesota as an adult. It blew my mind when I realized it was colder outside than it was in my freezer. I was in college my first few winters up here and the first good snowfall a group of freshmen from more tropical climates (mostly southern China) wandered outside in awe to play in the snow and even after my first winter I usually joined them because I know when winter stops being magical it starts being miserable and I'd like to put off the misery until February or so.

Does LGBTQ repression spawn transpeople?

KOTOR 2 had so many development problems that you really should be modding it. The trans community was almost completely invisible when the game released, especially trans men (I was in high school and my eggy self would have benefitted from greater visibility) so... Just mod the lesbian stuff in while you're adding the other mods.

Would you drive an extra 20 minutes (10 miles) to get the blizzard on the right?

That's sad to hear. l moved away a decade ago and it was the right decision but it still kinda hurts. And visiting has been made complicated the past few years because I'm trans - I pass but it's where I grew up and some of the people I knew before are assholes.
