Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten.
REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit
my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies
Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs.
So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly – not spazz themselves into miscarrying.
So what’d they do? They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs!
The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!
I came across a tweet from a woman making an observation about a background check for someone in her dorm who wanted an internship at the state department:
Under that tweet, a slew of other people talked about their own background checks and interviews they’d given for other people’s background checks. Compare these to the investigation into Brett Kavanaugh.
Remember, Kavanaugh has already worked for the White House under GWB, so not only was the initial job so shoddy that none of this current information was turned up, the FBI is now re-investigating but their efforts are being shackled by the White House with a *limited* list of people who will be interviewed. Old roommates, old acquaintances, old co-workers are waiting for the FBI to contact them — some have even sent information *to* the FBI — but they haven’t heard a word.
The Republican Party says this “isn’t a fishing expedition” but that’s exactly what it is and should be. We’re about to give a man a lifetime position deciding justice. Anything that *can* be found SHOULD be found, especially when Kavanaugh is on record lying about his past. He can’t be trusted to divulge, so the FBI should fish, especially when others have had background checks that look like this:
For my 1983 FBI background check for a State Dept job, I was 29, the agent interviewed the Mother Superior from my Catholic elementary school, the woman babysat for in 1968, the mechanic who serviced my car and 8 random neighbors…along with family, friends and coworkers.

I did a semester abroad in Peru and a roomie at my host family was a student from some prep school in Georgetown. When she applied for a govt. job later the FBI called me for a character reference. This was in 1984/5. Totally normal procedure. (https://twitter.com/SarahAStarkey/status/1046945069289345024)
a neighbor 3 lofts down once applied for a diplomatic security position (ie. a thing that would affect the lives of none of us). dude in a suit came to my door, asked me if he seemed like a solid trustworthy guy, whether I’d witnessed excessive partying, etc. (https://twitter.com/dP4VLIK/status/1046964604730007552)
When I was recruited by intel agencies, FBI officers literally walked around my parents’ neighborhood evenings in January, asking my parents’ elderly neighbors what kind of kid I had been. (https://twitter.com/Lunacelaborn/status/1047077011515219973)
I staffed the state judiciary when a judge was being considered for the federal trial court bench. Took a full time staff to manage the contact info for everyone the feds wanted to talk to. Judge died waiting for the background check to be complete. (https://twitter.com/GoldstineCole/status/1047114591765966849)
My ex roommates and ex boyfriends and parents had to be interviewed for my secret clearance as a term clerk for a federal judge. I wouldn’t have kept my clerkship let alone clearance or a judgeship with even a tenth of these issues. (https://twitter.com/Juliacsk/status/1046954814586916865)
My neighbors I’d never spoken to, my boss from 10 year prior, friends of mine from college, my kid’s Kindergarten teacher, and 3 women that I had met in daycare years earlier we’re all interviewed for my Husband’s clearance.
The State of New Jersey interviewed my grandmother’s NEIGHBORS (I’d never met/seen them) when I applied for my license from the Casino Control Commission. I booked acts for the showroom; no where near the casino floor. (https://twitter.com/NativeApprops/status/1046814681518739457)
I have a friend who was applying to be a cop, and she literally had to fill out every address she’d ever lived in and the names of at least two neighbors for each address in case the county police department wanted to ask them how she was as a neighbor.
You’re literally allowed to deny someone a spot in the police academy or the state department because of something dumb they may or may not have done as a teenager.
