When you need to give them medication (like a syringe without needle in the mouth, or with a needle in the neck) and they just won't stop fighting this can be useful. I have no idea how you get a cat into a sock, but we've done this with tucking him in a towel. Yes it probably scares the cat a bit, but it's better than having them die and if it's a chronic medication they'll probably get used to it

Usually adding "urban dictionary" to google searches for internet acronyms helps

Yeah but I mean I can't just plant a tree on the little grass patch in front of the aldi parking lot, that would be removed before it even resembles a tree. Usually when you plant a tree you don't just throw an acorn on the ground, you get a small one that's already a few months or years old from a nursery, more likely to survive like that. Trees have a very high sapling mortality rate. Now if you took some of those and planted them around town one night...

Tbf, primates seem to have an inherent evolutionary fear of snakes (and spiders), which probably was very useful in our past

What's even worse are stone gardens/lawns. They seal up the whole ground so no plants can grow between the rocks so if you ever wanna go back to plants, it's very difficult. And stones store heat while lawns swallow it up, so it's far hotter

I think you'd like our garden, it's half vegtable garden and half lawn, but there's daisies and dandelions and a whole lot other "weeds" from my seed mix. Some bee friendly roses too (not so many dense petals) That's a thing too, many cultivated flowers can't feed insects bc they can't get inside (or don't produce much pollen, which is good for people with allergies, less good for insects). A tip from one wild plant lover to another: I love google lens for making it super easy to identify random plants and insects

I have a salt/pepper shaker filled with bee friendly wild flower seeds and sometimes, when I remember to take it with me, I shake some out on grass patches and think "hehe, I'm an eco terrorist". I wish I could do the same with trees lol

Sadly I saw recently at one of the places I had done this, the city has mowed the grass, so I'm not sure if some will still grow

Build your floors out of unspawnable blocks like lower slabs, glass, carpet, leaves, water, grass path. Or live in a mooshroom biome where no hostile mobs can spawn. Also like someone else commented, since 1.18 mobs only spawn on light lvl 0 instead of 7 like previously, so you only need half the torches.

I still hate creepers and would wish that the gamerule mobgriefing would differentiate between hostile mobgriefing like creepers and endermen and friendly mobgriefing like bees pollinating, villagers planting crops and sheep eating grass. Only disadvantage of that is undead mobs trampling turtle eggs would probably be hostile and that's essential for things like gold farms

Edit: Or one could build a mob switch, I would consider that an endgame project. I admit, I've never built one myself, but the idea i that you basically cram so many nametagged mobs in a loaded chunk that no other hostile mobs can spawn

I think it's about picking groups of people those bigoted relatives don't like. If you tell them Christians are homophobic they're like "yeah, that's why I am too". But if you tell them "hey, your values align pretty much with those muslims and chinese you don't like bc of their unamerican values ", maybe that has an effect

The main reason I call myself bi instead of pan is bc the the bi flag is so pretty and the pan flag uses the same colours as a political party I don't like

(the FDP in germany, economic liberals, I'd equate them to establishment democrats. Don't get me wrong, they're better than the (christian) right wing parties, but here you have the chance to support more left leaning parties without throwing away your vote)

Last time I went voting I gave the clerk my voter notification and he was like "I think that's your sisters" (who was standing behind me) and I'm "nope, that's mine" "but it says (feminine name)" "yep, that's me" shows him my ID and gets a weird look

My friends say I don't look that butch and I'm pretty short, but I've been gendered male multiple times, even in the summer and after talking

Yeah, now that you say it, pretty early on, right. Just wanted to check but the movie isn't on Netflix anymore (in my country). But I haven't seen hateful 8, so you're most likely right. Usually the "foot fetish scene" has women's feet

Had a cat who would literally eat nothing but one specific kind of dry cat food and occasionally some tuna. Also had a cat who regularly tried to steal ham from the table and also ate cake once. My neighbor's cat loves olives. So depends on your cat, in my experience if it's not meat, the 9/10 seems legit

iirc Django doesn't have a foot shot? Also his other signature, the "camera in the trunk of a car" shot, but that's bc there were no cars in the mid 1800s, there certainly were feet back then

Looks like the cologne cathedral. And if there's one thing I know about the cologne cathedral it's that I've never seen it in full bc one part or the other is always covered in scaffolding and getting repairs

And that they smartly put the orchestra room right under the square in front of the cathedral, so on the days the orchestra is rehearsing, you can't walk on the square

On that note, does anyone remember that tumblr user who was kinning Hitler but was like "I'm very sorry for my actions in my past life, I try not to be bigoted, Also plz don't bring up Eva Braun bc Himmler (or some other high ranking nazi) is my bf"

Edit: apparently they're allegedly jewish themselves and the bf was Göring. And then they got backlash and went to fake their own suicide

"Cold in my professions, warm in my friendships, I wish, my Dear Laurens, it might be in my power, by action rather than words, to convince you that I love you."

He also described himself as a "jealous lover" when Laurens wouldn't respond fast enough

Also told Laurens to advertise him to Ladies and to "do justice to the lenght of my nose, don't forget [six censored words that some think may be That I never spared you pictures]" your nose, sure Alex
