I take my consent from the dog. You’re its caretaker, friend, and family. None of that means the dog’s incompetent to decide and communicate desire to be touched.

edit: I should be more clear. I ask for permission from the owner. I say “Can I say hi to your dog?”

Then I say hi by putting my hand out to smell. Then if the dog wants a pet, I’ll pet the dog.

Permission to approach from the owner, but consent to pet from the dog.

What if I’ve frozen the dog in carbonite, and he fits in my carry-on?

Here’s a few pictures I’ve saved in the last couple years. I think it gives a pretty good idea, but you tell me

Only if I can vote for sandwiches not falling apart when I eat them

It can’t fail in javascript ways that require specific sequences of code to be written, if those sequences of code aren’t in the range of output of the Typescript compiler.

Just use javascript and don’t try to add {} to [].

Alright take it easy Mike

why not Ohio Gozaimas

Oh! Rax!

I just said that Oh exactly the same as they say before “Shell shock!” in Turtles in Time

I completely forgot about Rax

Huh? I’ve never seen this. But I’ve had a severe McDonalds related Mandela effect recently, so I think I came from a different universe with a slightly different McDonalds

I finally went to a Carl’s Junior after decades, and goddamn those are big burgers

Sorry our scoop is down. Can I interest you in a birthday cake?

Burger King Whoppers in the 90s.

They use to taste really, really good. But now 30 years later they’re made with dogshit tier beef and terrible buns and the whole thing just sucks.

Bonko me $20 and I’ll send you some

Think mint juleps on a breezy afternoon, but with dicks in them. Clinking around with the ice. See where I’m going with this?

Dude I fucking love Overwatch with no talking.

What I really want is to be part of a team of gamers who plays stuff as a team, silently.

I want to play with the same team so we can get really good at working together, but it want it to be all unspoken.

Would you like to do that with me?

They named it after gazelle, which is a herd prey animal. That causes it to slip away from attention when it’s mentioned.

If they’d called in Bonko or something it would stand out in people’s memories more. Bonko, bright orange icon, it would spread by wildfire. Nobody would forget that name.

There are no hard consonants in the word. Synaesthetically, it’s a blue-purple word. Cool, muted. It’s a word that, even before the “gazelle” reference, is hiding there. Your mind slips over it without friction. It enters and leaves your mouth and your mind like a fish passing under the sparkling water, nearly unnoticed.

Terrible brand name. I mean, it does convey a little more safety than “Bonko” but the whole point with the unsafe sounding name is it causes the person to consciously ask “How safe is it?” and if you can answer that immediately with “Safer than Ft Knox” then it becomes part of the brand consciously.

Zelle is non-threatening, but that’s not the same thing as safe when it comes to business or finances.

What’s a good safe, energetic, competent, orange word for this service? Hmm. Bonus points if it’s intuitively self-descriptive.

How about “Paytag”. It’s yellow but whatever. Still might not be better than Bonko.

I got locked out of paypal for no reason I could discern from like 2007 to 2015. Can’t remember the exact dates but for years it was “I can’t use paypal any more because my account broke” and then finally after years if that one day it was “oh shit it work look at that”.

They also don’t produce invisible results
