Well, yeah, that makes complete sense. It the entering unannounced that I don’t think would work for me.

Standing permission or do you notify her in advance?

I like the idea of a compound or a village for a multi-generational family home. Seems like a nice blend of closeness and respecting boundaries. I’m not saying that wasn’t the case in your situation. I’m sure you had a method of respecting their privacy, too.

One of my other concerns is that an unescorted visitor might get eaten by a corgi.

Respectable take.

What I’m afraid of:

“Oh, no, don’t stop on my account, but when you two are done and get your clothes back on, wanna play a board game?”

Sometimes, in sitcoms, a friend or relative who doesn’t live in the home just enters and announces themselves after opening the presumably unlocked door.

[Shudders]

Whoa, good eye. I didn’t even notice that. You prompted me to take a second look and zoom in. Looks like there’s a bottle of liquor and a couple of condoms on the night stand, too. Such attention to detail.

That is one crazy pushup bra.

Imagine the first night in a large apartment complex after that one pest control company set up shop.

I think it’s the sound a confused frog makes.

Ha ha ha ha. Still, I kinda want to know what that would look like.

I think they have some of the most kinds of photoreceptors in their cones, something like 12 to 16, compared to our 3 (or rarely, 4). However, we and dogs perceive color in a way described by the oppositional process theory. It’s kinda like extrapolating other colors for which which we don’t have photoreceptors that activate most at that frequency. For example, yellow light falls between red and green frequencies. So our brains register the brightness of the light and the extent to which the red and green photoreceptors are activated proportionally, and it infers the color yellow.

Mantis shrimp have a far lower encephalization quotient, so it’s unlikely they have the resources to do this kind of processing. I think they just go with the most activated photoreceptor, which would explain why they need so many. It’s still entirely possible that they can see more colors than us, though. Also, it’s almost a certainty that their visible spectrum is different from our own. Many animals can perceive ultraviolet or infrared light that we cannot.

Yeah, they have significantly fewer cones than we do and even then, just yellow and blue. If they (OP) want to understand what a dog sees, they should have a conversation with a tetrachromat.

You fuckin’ know it, bitch!

got a pocket full of Hawthornes,

p-p-p-pocket full of Hawthornes.

I just have a moth sometimes, but it flies out when I open my wallet to make sure there’s no money in it.

Keep both. You can stuff the leftovers in the Buffalo, ranch, bleu cheese, or BBQ flavored condom and take it to go.

This is neither a a source nor an avenue of inclusiveness that I was aware of previously, but it’s got the right spirit. I’m on board.
