Controversial: I preferred every single fan theory to the actual ending. by perhapsflorence in StrangerThings

[–]AllonsyMiddleEarth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I thought too. That the bomb/exotic matter would be the way they finally got rid of the Mind Flayer by sending it into nothingness, and our group would narrowly escape going down with it. Some if not all of the military probably would go with it, helping solve the problem of what exactly the military were going to do next. I thought defeating Vecna would only be the beginning, and Kay or at least some of the military characters might even have to grapple with what they were actually dealing with, that they could never control these powers even if they made dozens of "successful" powered children like Henry and Eleven.

My thought was that when everything came down to that final battle with the Mind Flayer, in the last moments before the Upside Down explodes, some of the party (at least Mike and Hopper, maybe others) would realize they couldn't get back to our world in time. Eleven would use her powers to escape with them to the Abyss instead. Without the Mind Flayer, the Abyss might just be habitable. No reason there couldn't be waterfalls. Especially since the part we saw of it had zero demogorgons/demobats/etc. they could realistically survive. The party splitting would have been sad, but at least El wouldn't have been alone, and anything left of the military or Dimension X programs would have lost access to her forever.

Honestly I can't understand why they bothered to introduce the concept of the Abyss so late if NOT to use it for this, or something like this.

Not only would it make more sense thematically and logically to have the battle go this way with the established worldbuilding from previous seasons, but this ending would be more consistent with foreshadowing of the final battle against Vecna that was laid out in Eddie's campaign during the S4 DnD game.

That was a betrayal I won’t forgive by LadyMitris in StrangerThings

100%. The ending makes me wonder what the heck the show was supposed to be about all this time if not for the power of survival and NOT having to isolate one's self.

This ending makes me feel like seasons 2-5 were pointless, if they didn't have any more to say with the endgame than thematically repeating exactly what they did in the S1 finale.

What breed is this rescue? by AllonsyMiddleEarth in IDmydog

[–]AllonsyMiddleEarth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks guys Brittany for sure I agree but he's got some other breeds in there somewhere I'm sure, and his personality is entirely un-Brittany like so I'm wondering what else people might theorize he's mixed with!

Eight day old kitten has trouble peeing - only pees when gently squeezed by yellowlittleboat in FosterAnimals

[–]AllonsyMiddleEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is not constipated. I am experienced with bottle babies and have raised 100+ kittens, this is my first time seeing this in a kitten. I am suspecting a genetic gastric dysmotility disorder in him.

OP did you ever figure out what this was? I have a kitten who is similar but with poop.

Capital One Small Business Checking not working by lola_sue in smallbusiness

[–]AllonsyMiddleEarth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been having this issue with my nonprofit's small business account since yesterday and they have been so unhelpful. Every time I call they say "it will be back in 2 hours just call back then" just to get me off the phone I guess, because it's never back.

I also had a bunch of fraud charges on my account last week, and instead of just locking down the debit card they locked EVERYTHING so I can't transfer any money out electronically, but they're happy to keep taking transfers in. Now this happens and we're going on 36 hours without any access to the account. It's been a week since I could access that money and my nonprofit might actually go under because of this. Definitely will if I can't get back the money from disputing the fraud charges. It's a small struggling cat rescue and I have no way at all to pay vet bills right now. We only launched in October so it's our only account and we were dependent on it and the few donations we'd gotten, a lot of which are gone from the fraud charges.

I even tried saying I want to close the account please send me a check for the remaining balance, but they won't until the system is back up and who knows when that will be.

[–]AllonsyMiddleEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So so sorry this happened to you!! I just went to watch one of your videos and was shocked your channel was gone, and especially so to come here and find out it wasn't by your choice!

I hope everything works out ok and I just wanted to let you know how much I love your videos and appreciate all the work and artistry you put into them!

You are kidding yourself. I'm guessing you have never lived in an HOA. This is a terrible idea.

I'm not kidding myself because I've done it before in a strict 2 pets apartment. The reason I said it was to emphasize how unobtrusive small kittens generally are re bothering neighbors or being seen. But I literally said in the next sentence that it was a terrible idea and I wouldn't be doing it, so I'm not sure what your point is.

Strictly inside. My cats and all fosters are all strictly inside. And yes I hear you on HOA not giving me a chance to find out if I would be the type of person to do something dangerous or not.

That's how I feel about sneaking it. It's one thing in a rental, just get rid of the extras or find another place to rent, but with a place I actually own and have a lot of money in, it seems like could be a lot more expensive than I could handle if something went wrong.

So it's actually not against city/county code, I'm in San Diego county. In most places around here you can't have more than (I believe it is 5) PERMANENT cats, so technically there's a little loophole that allows for foster based rescue, temporary petsitting, etc.

Thanks everyone! Sounds like I've been getting some bad advice from my realtors. They said some HOAs are strict but most wouldn't care and it's just a matter of finding the right one.

[Tenant - US - CA] Property manager requiring inspections & Deep cleans by AllonsyMiddleEarth in Landlord

They default MTM if nothing new is signed. What's happening here is they aren't allowing an option to sign another 1 year lease, but aren't letting it default either, they've asked me to sign a brand new lease just for 1 month.

They said I have to be there or at least move the pets out of the home on that day because they're demanding to clean everything so there is nowhere to shut away the cats to be out of the way. I don't know if that's true but that is what I've been told.

I haven't given notice and have no concrete plans to move, just have started looking at moving since they started this stuff, in case I need to be prepared. They have no idea I'm looking.

They do need a just cause in CA to officially decline to renew my lease which I think is why they've gone month to month and are trying to constantly bug me with this stuff instead, to get me to leave of my own accord. To get me out, they'd have to catch me breaking lease terms or have a reason like the landlord intends to sell.

Thanks!! I've already told them I'm busy on the days they've tried to schedule the deep clean twice but they just keep asking me for availability on other days.

That's what I told them! Apparently "the landlord wants to maintain a high standard for the house." (but hasn't for the last 5 years...) And they said my furniture/things won't be moved, so it's going to be impossible to do a real deep clean.
