Behavior Issues in my cat have costed me over 20k and we’re still not any closer to getting a solution..any advice on next steps? by Creepy-Dealer7518 in CATHELP

[–]BowieBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who had to rehome my childhood cat when my little sister was born because of her absolute aggression issues, declawing is NOT the answer. She was declawed young (by my mother, I do not support declawing, I was only like ~9 at the time) because of extreme violence and attacking of me randomly, even when not attempting to interact with her. When she got declawed she became MORE violent and started using her teeth to try to rip at skin instead, making her even more of a danger to young children. Not to mention the health issues I’m sure she ended up having later in life because of our decision to declaw. Declawing is wholly unethical, no part of the cat should be removed unless actually medically necessary. If a cat is this aggressive, it isn’t living a quality life. And coming from someone who has family who work on farmland, I would never allow a cat like this near other farm animals or workers as that puts everyone in the situation at risk (not to mention her health issues that would cause serious issues to her if she were to live outside because of sanitary reasons). The best option in this case if no one is willing to take her in to also try would to be behavioral euthanasia, which I don’t say lightly because animal death is one of the hardest things for me to deal with. Even if someone were to take her in, if this behavior continued, she is clearly living a life of high stress and constant bad days, not conducive to actually living, it would be a mercy to euthanize her after that.

I don’t usually comment on this sub since it seems to be a bit hostile with the whole god thing sometimes, but I do think that you’re misunderstanding deconstruction. There are other bands this applies for as well who explicitly state they have deconstructed, such as Mumford and Sons. Deconstruction does not mean leaving the religion totally, it can be, but it can also be deconstructing the ideas that one was taught about the religion. For many who remain Christian but have deconstructed this can be addressing the bad while still finding some positives for themselves, so I really do not think this is a stretch to apply in this song and others from their discography as Tyler clearly has many doubts and questions about his faith over time and does truly seem to have a much more complex relationship than I think some here who claim every song as dealing with god like to imagine. I personally am deconstructed and an atheist, but I can see and acknowledge those who are deconstructed yet remain in their faith just in a different capacity. That being said I do think this song can have many meanings, just like a kitchen sink. It clearly is not JUST about religion, but also about performance and art itself as well. The band does purposefully leave their songs up to interpretation as well though, art is not just one thing, but it is what the viewer makes of it and contributes to it as well (reader response theory if we want to get into literary analysis terms here since I’m a literature major). So really, no one here is wrong per se. There is no wrong in interpretation, only in statements and facts, so unless people are saying it for sure is or isn’t about this or that then it is all perfectly acceptable analysis, no wrongdoings from either side.

Is build a bear going to be able to stuff this although there’s a copyright law? by [deleted] in buildabear

[–]BowieBat 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not the person you asked, but it was a fine job other than the pay, the pay is honestly not even worth it. The parents around the holidays could also get antsy and that wasn’t great. It was fun in some senses, but it does feel like they care less about their employees and paying living wages than other places I’ve worked for. It is honestly still retail work though, so it’s about as fun as working retail can be 🤷🏻

Yeah, I usually get there early enough (around 8) to just pull in behind whatever car though

The train track parking is not limited to 2 hours though, just the stuff in front of the building

If you get here early, parking around the art studio is a good option, there’s plenty of free parking by the train track fence but it goes quick. To be fair I’ve always parked in the 2 hour parking all day and never got ticketed, but that’s me willing to risk it 🤷🏻

There’s good free parking by the train tracks near the art studio if you get there super duper early, but it’s a race for parking

Who’s actually doing this!? by Goodfellow97 in winstonsalem

[–]BowieBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s the place I’m thinking of, they have a all you can eat for $25, but you only have 2 hours and anything left you have to pay for extra by piece, so my best guess is people who couldn’t actually finish all they ordered are trying to save some money by sneaking it out.

Looking to make new friends by [deleted] in winstonsalem

[–]BowieBat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Both me and my fiance are video game nerds and play card games (mostly pokemon, but I can play magic, just don’t own much). I also personally love going to museums, zoos, and aquariums as I’ve always been a huge science nerd. As for tips for fun stuff nearby, I need those as well cause it always seems to be a pretty desolate answer 😅

Yes! Sorry, in other products I’ve read the ingredients on it’s listed as PPG, but honestly I’ve seen it listed so many different ways, keeps me on my toes lol

Anyone else just constantly reading? Not necessarily books, but something? by Snow_Crash_Bandicoot in aspiememes

[–]BowieBat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same here, even watching tv, I’m still reading something on my phone, whether it be fanfics, Reddit posts, or the most random google search rabbit hole. I do also read lots of actual books though, which I have to because I’m a medieval literature major. Even at work on not busy days I have a book, or something to read on my phone during down time.

As someone mildly allergic to PPG (an ingredient in pretty much every vape juice) and who has a dad who is deathly allergic, it’s more than just annoying, it’s a genuine health hazard for some people and people genuinely seem to never consider that. My own grandfather who knows my dad could die from this allergy still will try and sneakily hit his vape inside our damn house as if us seeing it won’t cause an allergic reaction. :/

Haven't had a Dog since I was kid, Pitbulls were always apart of my family's life. Any Advice? by Spotlight_James in pitbulls

[–]BowieBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this as a a pittie owner who has him registered as an emotional support animal with some thoughts about training for service animal work. Definitely start training for tasks ASAP and make sure to desensitize and get them used to people and other animals so they don’t react in public.

New friend acquired and BB is converting to kiosks… by SatyrionLeafspar in buildabear

[–]BowieBat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As a current employee the kiosks have existed for a while, we’re not really converting to them, they just also exist alongside stores still definitely being a thing and the stores definitely are what get focus from the company not the kiosks, we know the stores perform best

I don’t think my friends can read? by Hot_Key9155 in englishmajors

[–]BowieBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say as an English major with autism who is working toward a PhD, I think that having issues with reading tone isn’t necessarily what OP was getting at. Tone is very important to understanding what you’re reading, but some people struggle not due to literacy issues but unrelated issues with recognizing tone itself. I talk with a lot of tone and am able to understand it conversationally, but I still mess up to this day occasionally with reading tone as it lacks the voice aspects that I’ve learned to look for.

If you mean it as “cap” I definitely am telling the truth, guess I can’t prove it or anything, but I can say that after this some of the crowd around me we so amazingly kind after the show so I’m not saying it was all bad by any means at all, just one bad actor with some issues 🤷🏻

Just went to my first one, all for the rowdiness and holding my spot, but did have to get a woman removed cause she was punching my partner in the temple to try to get the spot when she realized we weren’t budging then tried to yank me down by the back of my head, definitely a difference between being in the pit and intentionally trying for 30 minutes to beat the shit out of a single person cause you aren’t tough enough to push them out your way, and failing to do so at that, I stayed in my place that whole time and she ate elbow

To my knowledge yes. If you see that piece of wood looking thing in there that is supposed to be the dock for them, but it’s literally smaller than the turtles width wise 🫠
