That poor kitty. 😢 I can’t imagine letting either of our cats get to that point, and one of them is OBSESSED with food.

She was already named that when she was adopted :)

Cake:

1. why mom no let me lay on lap ALL time???
2. how to friend tuxedo one
3. why not pay all attention to Cake
4. how to cuddle tuxedo one
5. how more churu

MC Hammer:

1. how to dinner time?
2. why tiny gray one still here
3. why I see bottom of food bowl???
4. how get tiny gray one to go away
5. how more churu

I’d probably be concerned (and annoyed) that some unknown person violated my privacy to break into my home… just to fuck with my fridge???

That being said, if I knew who did it because of a long-standing tradition of mutual harmless pranks, or something, I’d probably be amused. But still a little bit annoyed.

Maybe it wasn’t an intentional attempt at a gotcha, but regardless, your question is predicated on a false equivalence.

Yeah. I mean, I genuinely do enjoy hanging out with the right kinds people. Occasionally. And for relatively short periods of time. I just have so little social energy and a lot of social anxiety. I find myself frustratingly uninterested in (and/or overwhelmed with) the idea of socializing, not even via text, and I pretty much rely on my SO for making/hanging with friends. So, not great.

I’ve always thought I could get a lot out of meditation, but I’m so bad at sticking to literally anything. Maybe it’s just a self-fulfilling prophecy, but I’ve tried so many things in an attempt to increase socialization or even generally just improving my own life.

I don’t really want to be this antisocial, but making and keeping close friendships seems so daunting and exhausting to me.

“Everything happens for a reason .”

No. Fuck no, and fuck you. I DARE you to say that to the faces of the endless innocent people—many of whom are CHILDREN—who have been murdered, tortured, abused, enslaved, raped, ect.

I remember really enjoying the first two Eragon books as a kid, though I barely remember any characters, or anything that happened, really. I do remember being very disappointed in the movie though.

But it sounds like the books wouldn’t be worth revisiting? 😕

The incoming bird sensor first senses any incoming birds; then, its cushioned robotic hand (think an oversized Mickey Mouse hand) gently smacks them out of the way of the plane’s path.

That’s actually a myth. People of any gender can have an Adam’s apple, but they’re generally more common/pronounced in AMAB people

Mocking the kinds of abhorrent claims of “antisemitism” that Israel makes is not even remotely the same as mocking the idea of actual, real life antisemitism.

You can both make comparisons to other games and also describe your game in other ways. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

Tbh, I’d assume that it would be advantageous, at least overall, to compare your game to others. It’s not necessarily to claim that both games are on the same level, but can be an acknowledgment of their similarities. It allows fans of those games to find yours more easily and can help provide a clearer picture of what it’d be like to play it.

That being said, there are plenty of bad comparisons out there… but there’s shitty marketing/writing/overselling/ect in every industry.

I will literally never get sick of art that successfully blends horror and beauty.

I’d definitely eat that! Though, I prefer them with peanut butter and dark chocolate chips (the latter is from the freezer for added crunch)

That’s awesome to hear, but I’m sure it’ll be unaffordable for many—if not most—people who need it… at least in the US. :(

Idk… a good therapist can do a lot of good. But I can’t in good faith blame you for having that perspective.

There are some really shitty ones out there, and then there are the ones that seem to try, but just aren’t very good. I’ve experienced both myself.

I’d argue that it’s dumb as fuck either way.

I’m like this, but tbh I don’t like that about myself. I just find group chats stressful and very socially draining.

For the most part, women aren’t saying that all men are dangerous.

We’re saying that a significant percentage of them are—as established by the fact that the majority of women have experienced sexual harassment and/or assault at least once—and that “bad” men and “good” men are often indistinguishable from each other… for the first few minutes, hours, days, months, or even years of knowing them.

And then there are the many men who may not actively harass or assault women, but look away and remain silent when they witness their friends doing it. Those men are unsafe, too.

Anyone who perceives this hypothetical situation as “sexist” is not bothering to actually listen to what women are saying, which tracks. Hit dogs holler.

Honestly, I’d respond positively. Small talk is exhausting
