If you find yourself writing the words 'round them up' about human beings, that's the time to step away from the keyboard and go think about how you got where you are and why.

If you like the way they look, you tend to display them. Just like literally all other collections. You know, like art?
They're visually appealing to the eye of the beholder, can be worn as a fashion item, and have monetary value to those who like them. I don't collect them but I know people who do and it's as relatable a hobby as any other collection based hobby. Do you look at action figure collectors and wonder what the 'goal' is?
Isn't that just collecting? Could replace with any object and that's hardly a fad.
I don't have a degree. Started one back in the late '00s but didn't complete it cos life got in the way.
Successful career in related industry but occasionally I'll go for a job only to see it has higher ed quals as mandatory. I think I'll lie next time if there's something I really want to go for and know I can do.
I'm old enough that even if I had completed the course, it was all paperbased paperwork - no one's tracking the truth down and no one really cares. Of all the recruitment I've done, I've never cared about anyone's degrees. Hell, half the technologies and methodologies I work with didn't even exist when I was at uni. So who gives a shit even if I did have the degree.
I can do decent espresso art now which I'm pretty chuffed about.
You sound like an old timey whaler and it's very pleasing. Not the implications for the whales. Just the old timey sea-ness.
I've fed the wild ones snails as they seem to think they're pretty awesome. Would that be an option for domestic? Or do you run the risk of giving them whatever diseases wild snails have that they may not have a built immunity to? I suppose the possibility a snail has been poisoned is a risk too...
I think I've just answered my own question. Thanks for observing my stream of consciousness.
We have them wild in the backyard. Beautiful creatures.
That's cool!
I've often mused who they'd cast as Thomas. A younger Billy Bob Thornton would have worked.
