For me, the YouTube algorithm is the worst thing about YouTube. I consistently shows crap that is either very low quality or uninteresting. I use YouTube all the time, but just use my subscriptions or search. The front page is junk.

Hey, I’m following you now (or rather, my dog is https://pixelfed.social/dobiedogj).

Ya, and if you shop online put purchases in your shopping cart and let them sit for a few days.

That’s silly. Everyone knows they are called motes.

Maybe try for therapy dog certification. Appropriate training and testing is available in some places, not sure about Mississippi. Many hospitals and nursing homes recognize it and will allow certified dogs and handlers into their facilities.

For an ESA, all you really need is a therapist’s note, but recognition isn’t guaranteed.

I have a pair of crows that I feed regularly, but they aren’t what I would call friendly. They won’t come within about six meters. I’m hoping this will improve over time, but It’s been about five years so I doubt it.

An unkindness of ravens?

Viola, with proficiency somewhere between beginner and just plain bad. But it’s still fun (for a given value of"fun").

Judging by the link in the OP, the concern is the possibility of ICE or other federal agents breaking in. It’s not the same as dealing with a random intruder. About the best you can hope for is to slow them down, maybe giving you time to get away or for legal assistance and the media to arrive.

Given that, I’d concentrate on making the house more sturdy: steel framed doors, steel rolling garage door, properly installed security bars/screens on windows and so forth. And maybe start with a solid masonry house.

Probably not realistic for most people, but then a few years ago I wouldn’t have considered the risk realistic either, and here we are.
