I had one as a kid, they’re great pets. If you ever do get one, you should get more than one. They’re actually quite social and can get lonely, which I unfortunately found out years after mine had passed.

I don’t bring it up but if people ask me I say I’m from San Francisco. I’m close enough, like 30 miles away. I feel like I avoid some judgement by doing so but idk.

Not at all. The first time was when covid happened, the second time was when the startup I was at was struggling to raise funding. Both times they laid off 1/3 of the company.

Twice.
