Goodbye, #EF29 :c I have a bunch of pictures and thoughts to post still, but for now I must go and sleep… This has been a pretty good con, not perfect, but it was my first EF and now I know what to do better next time

I am unable to walk past a Best Western Plus hotel without thinking of the episode of “How To with John Wilson” where he attends the Mandela effect conference and comments on the Plus suffix

Tipping culture has definitely gone too far: The card machine at BackWerk asked me if I wanted to leave a tip This is a bakery where you pick what you want, put it on a tray yourself, bring it to the till and they charge you for the items on the tray
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
Yeah, I want to try something like that but the place I went to last time felt kinda judgemental about me asking if they could cut mine into a mohawk and it was Bad Vibes ™
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
Seeing so many people at this con with cool hairstyles is making me jealous, I really need to try and get over my anxiety and find a place in Glasgow where I can get mine done >.<
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
Aw thank you :3c You’ll probably see me around doing that this week hahah

It was 5x zoom on my phone and I think it decided to be silly and do digital zoom rather than using the actual 5x lens

Went to McDonald’s yesterday and they had misconfigured one of the registers such that it was displaying the interface to the customer
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
In a triumph over ADHD, I’ve managed to remember to grab the 20€ notes from the last time I was in Germany
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
My evening has been blessed by a husky sighting (A few minutes after this, their handler came out of McDonald’s, sat on the bench and fed them a very long fry)
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
How to find me at #EF29 / #EF2025 this week! Do: • Talk to me • Put things on my snoot (respectfully) • [REDACTED] • Trim my armour (NO scammers ❌) Do not: • Text 61016 • Comment on my awkwardness • Recruit me into your pyramid scheme

Concept: Big Ben, but the bongs are replaced with the Mac startup sound

Yep, it was to reduce confusion with TJ Hughes which already existed in the UK

craigslist missed connections: someone wearing a “pizzavore” t-shirt walked past me and recognised me as a furry based solely off the “shibadry” t-shirt i was wearing

I need to do this next time, I was just in a rush to get on a train
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
i love modern web application’s
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
Yes!!!
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
I didn’t get a ticket
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
I’ve been coming to Cambridge for two years and I somehow only found the husky statue today. I love them……
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
Yeah I’ll just hang around Leicester Square
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
I’m going into London for the afternoon (arriving ~1205) before I get on a train back to Glasgow If anyone’s around and wants to hang out for a bit, let me know
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
So I’ve been doing an absolutely terrible job at keeping up with Telegram lately, but figured I may as well ask (as it’s so close), are there any groups worth joining for EF? 🤔
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
There is an ad on a roundabout here for “Belfast Beds”. I didn’t know Belfast was particularly notable in the sleep market What next? Derry Divans? Omagh Ottomans??
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
In Cambridge’s vibrant town centre, you can exchange money for a wide variety of goods and… ¿¿services??

Guilty as charged
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
I believe so

I’ve not looked at this timeline for like a week because work has been very hectic, and the lack of a saved timeline position on Bluesky stresses me out (Tapbots’s bsky app can’t come soon enough, I swear) Please let me know if I missed any important skeets
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
Knuckle tattoos: “NOTF”, “OREU” (I’ve thought about making this cursed skeet every time I see a product that says “not for EU” on the packaging for the past few months)
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
I walked through Soho to see what Prowler was advertising and they had a big ad for Sniffies (a gay hookup website) on the side of the shop I remember when it was always an ad for Squirt… The gay scene moves so fast
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
Here are some random photos I’ve taken recently (The huge puppy in the second picture was jumping around very excitedly when I first saw them. Absolute unit)

The conductor on this train just spent at least 30 seconds begging passengers to take a screenshot of their e-ticket so that they can show it without having to wait for the app to connect to the internet UK rail ticketing is working great as always

i try and avoid touching my computers with dirty hands and yet it Still Happens
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
suspicious………
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
YES i try really hard to avoid touching them whenever they're dirty, when i've been eating, etc but yet this still happens and it feels impossible to clean without taking everything apart
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
billion-dollar idea: nice peripherals (keyboard, mouse, etc) which don't have tiny crevices that get full of gunk the moment you touch them with your hands
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
Decisions were made at various shops (I‘ve been slacking on posting these and I now have too many, so I’ve just picked out the ones I think are funniest)
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
I’m confident that Apple Music’s “automix” is never going to supplant real DJs because it just tried to smoothly transition from Tinchy Stryder to Shakira (It did not work well)
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
to be clear, the actual baby was not dressed as Luigi, I just thought it’d be funny on the other hand, the pizza box is accurate. it’s a generic design that lots of places here use
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
I saw something funny in Partick and really wanted to share it, but I didn't want to take a photo of a random person’s baby — that's just creepy So I've used all my artistic power to bring you this 110% accurate portrayal of the scene, exactly as I witnessed it on Dumbarton Road yesterday evening
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
He’s a pretty good friend

I got the meme firedog hat and wore it out on a shopping trip on this very nice day
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
They were so excited that they just bounded across the street once they were allowed to cross
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
I was feeling blessed by Glasgow because I got to wait to cross the street next to this very excitable husky Then I was cursed by Glasgow because a drunk lady walked up to the crossing, failed to realise it was the edge of the pavement and fell right on her entire ass The duality of Saturday night
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
Wait that reply sounded weirder than I meant it to
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
Do you want another one
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
I remember having heard from one of the people involved in CFz reg that card payment processors *were* willing to work with them, but only if they could hold onto the funds until after the con had happened, as then the “product” has been “delivered” But then the con can’t pay their vendors
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
Note that this isn’t an acceptability thing — it’s purely around logistics. Furry cons taking a huge amount of money upfront for a con that will occur several months later is a lot of potential liability when it comes to chargebacks, etc
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
I continue finding it very funny that a certain event (which I shan't name) takes like a month to approve all their registered attendees in small batches, because they don't want to take in too much money at once and draw unwanted attention from Stripe
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
yes, so I can use my special attacks
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
just made eye contact with a squirrel while i was eating ice cream and they were eating something off the ground with their tiny hands. i have reconnected with nature and my HP and FP have been fully restored
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
Hopefully 👀

I was wondering whether EF would reject my fursuit badge because it's technically not a "fur"suit, but it actually got approved and I'm pleasantly surprised
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
It does help me work (yay capitalism!!) but I feel like I've just lost *all* desire to be social and I really don't like that. I've let DMs pile up for months, I haven't gone to a meet outside Glasgow in ages.
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
Slight vent/rant/whatever: I've been wondering if I should try and get switched back to my previous ADHD meds (in Sept 2024 I was moved to Elvanse because of shortages). It might just be a coincidence, but I've been feeling less like myself over the past year :/
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
In my case it works for a bit and then after I've loaded like 10 pages I just get "Access denied - This request was blocked by our security service"

I wanted to buy the funny Growlithe hat but it seems that the Pokémon Centre website still blocks your IP if you dare to browse for more than two minutes They've invented the online version of one of those shops where the staff stare at you like you're a criminal the moment you walk in. Incredible,
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
Nature is healing… Glasgow City Centre has once again been made into fake New York City for filming I wonder if they’ll actually release this one rather than cancelling it 🤔
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
I tried but you just ran away!!

⚠️ 🦊 FOX ALERT 🦊 ⚠️ I saw this fox on my way home. They were carrying something in their muzz but ran away before I could see what it was. This concludes today’s Fox Alert 🦊

I almost did today but then they were out of stock in the size I needed…! Can’t win, it seems

I’ve been needing to buy new bedsheets for a while now and I keep putting it off because every time I look at the options in a shop like IKEA or John Lewis, I just get choice paralysis When did they invent so many different materials for duvet covers???
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
Today I saw this excellent dog walking around, absolutely oblivious to the branch that was trailing behind them. 10/10, would walk past again
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
take me down to the eminem city where the palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

It’s the abandoned shoes right???

Here are some random photos I’ve taken today (The seagull one was almost ruined by an angry-looking Deliveroo cyclist so I had to grab an earlier frame from the Live Photo™)
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
I have not seen that option, I've only seen USB connection, which is MTP that barely works

After installing Debian in a VM and trying two different desktop environments I have finally managed to pull some screenshots off my Switch 2, in the traditional 5% quality JPEG (It was either that, or buying a microSD Express card, or totally wiping my phone so I can use the Switch Online app)
Ninji (@ninji.dog)
For the first time in many, many years I've used BugMeNot and it actually worked, I'm shocked (I wanted to download VMware Fusion) Getting logins from Bugmenot while playing RuneScape in the background... It's like I'm in 2008 again

You might also enjoy this trolley-themed post in a similar vein bsky.app/profile/ninj... I was trying to find another one but it was apparently from before I started using Bluesky

I’ve been living in the same building for 6 years, and the entire time, my neighbours have been putting plastic bags into the recycling bins that say “no plastic bags” on them I would genuinely love to know if it’s a mistake or actual malice at this point

I *was* pretty sure that the picture you posted earlier was from a wall on the same street as the meet venue...

I looked Very Cool™ at the furmeet today (I borrowed these goggles from a pup and I think I might need to get my own now)
Ninji (@ninji.dog) reply parent
They had so many unsold clearance Marmite ready meals that they had overflowed into two other unrelated sections around the shop

Fun fact: If you have the chat filter on then this gets filtered too!

Over here, bus operators will usually do this to authorise the card and then they’ll adjust it to the real payment amount the next day
