Would you ask someone you saw vomiting in public if they're okay?

Middle of the day today I saw a woman vomiting on the high street. She had a baby in a push chair but was otherwise alone. Everyone ignored her. I walked up and offered her my water bottle and asked if she and her baby were okay (besides the obvious vomiting) and if she wanted to go somewhere cool incase it was heatstroke or something. Baby looked normal, fast asleep. We had a nice chat in the freezer aisle in M&S.

But I don't think I would if it was 10pm outside a pub with an obviously drunk man.

This isn't to virtue signal or anything about trying to help. Are we too aloof about interacting with strangers? Judgemental when it comes to genders in cases like this? Idk this just kind of sit right with me.

What is the most unusual meat you've ever cooked?

And how difficult is it to get a good cook on it? I've heard penguin is disgusting because it's fishy but in a bad way.

Standard issue during a heatwave

Otto is not a happy boy...except when he gets his frozen liquid cat treat! All the wet food gets extra fridge time too. Since he is such a glutton his eating habits thankfully haven't really changed. If you use frozen cat yoghurt/lickilicks or the like, they come out of the freezer like a fro-yo. In moderation of course, including accounting for eating less in the eat.

Beating the heat with a dip in the spring

It hit about 30°C here and the fluffy boy was really feeling the heat. Lots of other dogs going for a little swim or a paddle today too!

The face of a cat whose live mouse has been confiscated

He has no teeth but somehow managed to catch a shrew and a mouse in three days. The shrew escaped independently but I had to catch and release the mouse.

First time naturist vaycay as a single woman

The weather in my country is HOT (like all of Europe) and I'm used to and love European topless beaches. I've never been body-shy and ngl walk around nude or just in panties at home especially in the heat.

I also apparently have a naturist resort less than 20 miles from me. With heated pool, jacuzzi and clubhouse. Outdoor and indoor casual sports. Sunbathing lounges (I am big on sunscreen and sun safety, my dad had a scare and I love my tattoos very much). Camping facilities. No clothes besides a sarong. It sounds honestly like a dream.

How do I explain to my fam that I'd like to go be naked with random strangers for a weekend platonically? The area I live in in the UK isn't known for camping, and other places are 2+ hours away so a weekend trip isn't realistic to lie about that.

(FYI I am am living with them temporarily due to finances, they aren't judgemental just weird about bodies and I'll do it anyway lol, I'm a 31 year old career woman. Its my parents, you know!)

The most luxurious camping meal you've ever made

I've seen an endless amount of chili and bacon here, but what about stuff that doesn't come out of a pouch or is really easy to cook anyway? (No shade on bacon lol).

Do you get cards/presents from the pets?

It's father's day on Sunday and my dad is getting a card and a present from the dog. I got the same on my birthday. Obviously Pip (the dog) can't write and doesn't understand capitalism so I buy them for him, but its the doggy thought that counts.

Dog tax:

Allegedly couldn't hunt due to no teeth, proved it correct

Dude has no teeth and is a garden-only house cat (fencing, no large bird predators or coyotes etc) yet *somehow* he caught a shrew, brought it to me, immediately dropped it and the shrew ran like hell back out into the garden. Didn't even watch the thing run. Big "hey mum I found this tadpole" energy.

'Dollface' by Lindy Ryan - spoilers

Boy howdy this was fun! Trope-erific but in a way that uses them to play with stereotypes, protagonist that likely has as much horror film trivia to bust out as you, a nice dog who doesn't die, and a cast of characters you might not like but still think it sucks that they die/get hurt.

​

My only complaint is the ending - we (and the protagonist) know who the killer is and why, but the "final" boss is completely out of left field in a really silly way. Psychopaths abound apparently. The explanation that the sister (final boss) has always been evil is silly. The explanation that the nice neighbour snapped on her mean girl neighbours is campy and fun.

​

The twist that it's too obviously neighbour that a random other person has to show up in the name of not spending enough quality time with her sister is silly but not in a fun way.

​

Overall, 3.5/5 for the fun romp that doesn't stick the landing.

Is Tony Blair a bastard?

Regarding his collab with the US in the Middle East Nightmare and his other crap. Not near Thatcher in terms of PM bastardry but is a semi-bastard? A side bastard?

I have an unreasonable amount of chili and need things to do with it

There's only so many chili with rice I can do. I'm thinking enchiladas, tacos (difficult for one person as I live solo and will waste shells unfortunately), nacho topping. Anything more creative?
