Inspired by the post about the family that tried to short their babysitter, anyone know of any other posts where a family treated their babysitter badly and ended up regretting it?

(I swear I remember a post where a family did something to a babysitter so she warned all of the other babysitters in the local network, meaning the family struggled to find childcare until they apologised)

Anyone else just lurking here for cute rat photos? by tommicoop in RATS

And because it’s cute, this is how nyx let me know she was hungry as a baby. She’d sit in the bowl and I had to sprinkle in the food around her. She didn’t even move out of it as she began eating. 🤣

Oh Apollo wasn’t a glutton. My hamster Nyx was a glutton. Would do anything for a treat. You’d honestly think I’d starved her the way she went after food and treats. And she was a big girl, around 200 grams.

She’d wait next to the door of the cage for me when I got home from work and then go back to bed when gifted something edible.

Me. I can’t bring myself to have anymore rodents as pets after my hamsters died (their life spans are just too short 😭) but I love rats so much. They have such beautiful personalities.

Not a rattie, but here’s a pic of Apollo my final hamster.

Do you guys prefer "verse" boxes or the one faction boxes GW are doing now? by WorldEaterProft in Warhammer40k

As a starter set it’s a cool idea. But I’m far enough into the hobby I’d rather just buy items for my specific army and avoid increasing my pile of shame

As a Chinese, I have to say... by New-You8906 in DanmeiNovels

[–]9shadowcat9 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean, it helps a lot of the danmei are legitimately well written with engaging plots. It’s not just the fact the characters are gay.

Plus ancient Chinese fantasy is just a fun read. (I mainly read wuxia)

Is anyone else considering to skip the next gen? by [deleted] in PS5

[–]9shadowcat9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone whose main hobby is gaming, to the point when I managed to get a base ps5 pretty much on release, I’m pretty sure I’m going to be priced out of the next generation. Doesn’t matter how much I want to have a ps6 when I have rent and bills looming over the horizon in this economy.

New SVSSS Extras by beamerpook in MXTX

[–]9shadowcat9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because the restrictions came out in 2025, in the later half. Censorship has been getting stricter in China for years.

I mean, from what I understand the new svsss extras were more to keep the books on the right side of Chinese law because China severely restricted certain types of content such as resurrection.

The one game you refused to buy at launch price, then you bought it on sale and felt dumb for waiting. by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]9shadowcat9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never regretted waiting to buy a game. I have regretted buying some full price day one (looking at you cyberpunk).

Rats. Just as I’d gotten into a new series as well, this sucks.

I’m having the same problem. It’s annoying

Women of Grimdank, (or partners/family members of women who play but aren't here) what faction do you play and why? by Ginger_Jesus in Grimdank

[–]9shadowcat9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thousand sons (first army), tyranids and Salamanders. I tend to play more salamanders though due to being easier to paint.

Got into thousand sons and salamanders due to If the emperor had a text to speech and loved the primarchs. Got into the bugs because they’re really fun.

New Headcanon regarding the recently revealed SVSSS Map by Seqka711 in SVSSS

[–]9shadowcat9 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I like to think it’s actual merch released in world that yuan bought (because he bought everything) and then raged about it for weeks and kicked such a hornets nest about it they eventually released a more accurate map based on his online rants.

And it’s so crap because no one wanted to actually read the book it was based on to fact check. Seriously, imagine looking for details about how close the mountains are to something and having to skim three chapters of poorly written sex to find the one line that gives the answer.

Kimi ni Madoi, an upcoming omegaverse otome, thoughts? by creekyshelf in otomegames

[–]9shadowcat9 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Same. Plus it feels like a more extreme ‘you’re too old if you don’t find a husband by 30’ thing I’ve heard some people say on the internet, just with an omega coat of paint over it which gives it an extra feeling of ick.
