    I'm staying at my partner's parents' house while he housesits. It's a very quiet neighborhood. I am a night owl and take meds that make me really hungry before bed. Last night around

    to contain the dog they asked me if anyone in the house ordered food last night. I said that I did. Cue questioning about from where, when, what food. I struggle to rattle off my memory of what specific laffy taffies I

    Super_iron_kid • 20h ago that's some real detective work for an important case of the Slurpee. I wish they did expand that on the rest of non-priority crimes.
