if they aren't trained and employed as livestock guardian dogs, they are basically very opinionated rugs that you have to feed. but mine is so good with little kids, he's the best. Didn't even blink when my 6yo accidentally fell right on top of him.

Anyway if you are a) not a fan of predators and b) not squeamish you should Google "Casper the Great Pyrenees," what an incredible breed

I've got an ~8 month old Great Pyrenees puppy and while I never intended to adopt anything other than shelter dogs and while they can be incredibly frustrating puppies (they're nocturnal! 🫩) they are also the best goddamn dogs in the entire world

While I'm at it, I could use more of the "solving puzzles in an ancient temple in the jungle while searching for lost treasure" genre. Always good fun to be had in an ancient jungle temple.

I like The Lord of the Rings a lot but we need more bite sized swords and sorcery fantasy TV/movies. Willow is the platonic ideal of lightweight high fantasy, and Dungeons and Dragons (2023) is its spiritual successor. But overall the field seems very thin 🫤

Very true, not everything needs to be a 10+ hour epic. Stardust comes to mind as well.

You will enforce immigration laws by cutting firebreaks in the Sierra Nevada, repairing flood works in New Orleans, and removing garbage from Baltimore Harbor.

There will be no need to be armed during these operations.

It's all well and good if DFAS employees are still working because they're funded by the DWWCF, but it's a) a holiday weekend and b) the civilians processing pay in the services are probably furloughed at the moment
