I love the implication that, as Larry is an "unpaid trainee", the dog is paid.

i love pleasantly unpleasant sensory experiences. getting tattooed. eating a too-big dollop of wasabi and feeling like i've been kicked in the face. being outside when it is very very cold and a little kiss of frigid air slipping between my glove and coat sleeve. people say building discomfort tolerance is important because discomfort is an inevitable part of life, and that's true, but discomfort can also be a source of joy and part of what makes life worth living.

once on neopets when i was a kid i made a bunch of white and purple grundos (for every other species you have to use a paintbrush to get those colors) and went on a bunch of pet trading threads to offer them in exchange for very expensively painted neopets and whenever anyone pointed out that those were default colors i would insist that i spent millions of neopoints painting them and then someone messaged me to say they were reporting me for lying about my neopets. “you are lying about your neopets, which is a reportable offense” they said
