Dog Groomer Recommendations
My geriatric chihuahua-mix needs grooming bad. He needs to be muzzled because he won't like it at all.
I'm looking for recommendations for a groomer in Martinsburg that has the patience and empathy to take care of my pup.
Thanks in advance.
Oklahoma Craft Beer Trail @ Tulsa International Airport WTF
Imagine going to a car dealership and the car salesman doesn't know the difference between a manual and automatic transmission vehicle.
I went to *Oklahoma Craft Beer Trail* here at the airport, sat at a table, and asked the server for a beer menu.
They don't have beer menus.
So, I asked if they had any porters or stouts. The server looked at me confused and asked me to follow her from my table to the bar. She pointed at the beers on tap and said that's what we have.
The bartender asked what I wanted to drink and so I asked her what porters and stouts they carried. She didn't know what I was talking about either. I looked thru the beers they had on tap and then simply asked for an unsweetened tea instead. They said they only serve liquor and beer.
I simply smiled and went back to waiting for my plane.
Cheers, Tulsa.
Pen & Teller Realization
Teller is the one that never talks, and yet his name is **TELLER**! He never TELLS anything! So ironical and I only just realized this
FBI Places Ali G. At The Top Of America's Most Wanted List.
John J. Cafaro - "Here at Greenwater Services, we guarantee your pool water will be whatever shade of green you choose."
Donald J. Trump - "Green? I love green almost as much as gold. Ali G. green and gold!"
Kash Patel - "It turns out Mr Cafaro misheard 'Ali G.' for algae. The FBI has warrants out for Ali G. and we will get justice for The Reflecting Pool."
Comment Removed, Appeal Denied, Doesn't Feel Like A Real Person Even Looked At The Issue - What's The Process?
This isn't an appeal. This is about the appeal and final decision by admin, and a question to understand how Reddit's "AI" and appeal system works.
In a movie subreddit, another redditor specifically asked about a scene in the movie: The Menu. In this movie, actor Ralph Fiennes' character Chef Slowik whispers something to actor Nicholas Hoult's character Tyler. Afterwards, Tyler does something horrific in a back room of the kitchen.
The post asks what Chef Slowik whispered to Tyler.
I won't type what my answer was for fear of my account being banned, as the Reddit warning suggested.
My answer was removed because Reddit AI thought I was breaking Rule 1: I threatened or encouraged violence or physical harm. It wasn't removed by that sub's mods, it was an account ban warning from admin. I appealed, and it the comment removal and warning were enforced.
This appeal response couldn't have been reviewed by a real person, right? Any reasonable, sensible human being would have seen the post, the comment, and immediately deduced from the context that I didn't break this rule.
Is it all AI? Even the appeal? Or are these real people making these decisions? It doesn't make any sense.
P.S. a second Redditor commented on that same post and their comment was also removed, which they appealed as well. I can't imagine this is the first time something like this has happened. Context is so important.
I've been told by other redditors it's not a big deal and to move on, but my fear now is for an unjustified account ban for something innocent.

Fallout Foundations
Fallout Foundations is a Fallout 76 cross-platform community that spotlights our personal best, worst, and weirdest C.A.M.P.s in the Appalachia while hosting monthly, themed competitions voted on by our community.
Each month, a random member acts as Scout to choose the C.A.M.P. location for that month's theme. Themes are nominated and then also chosen randomly. There is a deadline to submit photos and/or videos of your C.A.M.P. entry, and then we vote on our favorites. There are no in-game or real world prizes for winners, but you are highlighted and honored with a special role in our Subreddit and Discord until the next month's winner is announced, and an issue of Picket Fences is created to honor your C.A.M.P. This is meant to be lighthearted fun, and very community-driven in its themed challenges and voting for monthly winners.
We are a young, small community looking for like-minded players to join us. We have new and veteran players waiting to meet you!

Missing Acrophobia
I used to play Acrophobia religiously. I miss it so much. I'm wondering if anybody is still playing some version of it somewhere. Another Subreddit directed me to AcroParty but the site doesn't look active, and there's no Discord, Subreddit, or way to contact the devs or community to organize.
Any help is appreciated!

Saw A YT Video Of A Park With A Great White Shark Swimming Around
I just need the shark. Does it attack park-goers that fall in the water? Where can I get that shark! Can I pet that shark? Is he the goodest boi?

Flash Flood To My Property Due To Neighbor's Recent "Landscaping"
We moved into our new home 2 months ago. Our neighbor has a farm uphill from us and recently cleared acres and acres of trees as they prepare for a cattle ranch.
The flash flood from their property collected behind the barriers on their property and gave way clearing out our gravel driveway and damaging our landscaping. Our cellar has pools of water and streaming water.
There is a city drainage grate on the corner of the road near our property and all of the water is avoiding it and crossing over the street and flooding. The sediment and straw from the neighbor's property and the gravel from our driveway are being pushed into the street and across.
The neighbor's farm is gated with no trespassing signs with no ring camera or doorbell visible, and we've never seen anyone residentially going in and out, just the tractors working on the property.
We just moved here from Fairfax County and have absolutely no idea who to contact or what to do.
We contacted non-emergency PD who transferred us and are sending out non-emergency FD to look at the flooding. Currently waiting for their arrival.
Has anybody any experience with anything like this? What do I do?
