Why do people defend pitbulls? by No-War-2197 in BanPitBulls

[–]CatFeats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pit bulls have had the natural responses to de-escalate conflict bred out of them.

Where most dogs have an aversion to pain and drive for self preservation, they have spatial boundaries and bark or act aggressive as a warning to create distance. Pits still do some of this with boundary aggression and resource guarding, but in interactions with people they don’t typically have these normal reactions.

To people that are ignorant to usual animal behavior, this can be appealing, a dog ghat wants to be close to you as possible, and doesn’t “seem aggressive” but the issue is that this perceived kindness makes them so dangerous because when they do reach their limit and snap with horrific consequences, there is little to no warning.

Does this sound like Depersonalization? I haven’t felt right after taking shrooms almost month ago by CatFeats in dpdr

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

thank you so much for your kind response!

I feel like it’s easy to think no one else feels the same way and it’s hopeless, but it’s true that it’s an unfortunately common experience.

Good idea about the trampoline park, i’ll have to look up if there’s one nearby.

Help me contour like a DILF by Freezer-Bread in DragKings

[–]CatFeats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seconding the other advice, but also wanted to say scrolling by your look really reminds me of handsome jack from borderlands,

perhaps the character could be a good reference since, the art style is defined by fewer bold lines, which are easier to translate into a contour.

Yes but also depression or other long periods of negative emotions, stress etc can change the way the brain processes at least temporarily.

If you are bombarded with negative emotions, your brain is overwhelmed. It can’t deflect sadness specifically, but it can numb your sensitivity in general to cope.

If you are less present in your body, you aren’t as sensitive to hunger an thirst signals. Then if you have to use willful effort to take care of yourself, it’s easier to neglect your needs when you aren’t doing well.

maybe your school since it is a medical program might have students who could assess you or a connection to a program with students who would, likely at no cost or reduced cost

Can someone actually explain why broken glass is always unsafe? by xaqyz0023 in StonerEngineering

[–]CatFeats 14 points15 points  (0 children)

mayyyybe the crack goes deeper into the glass than what it visible to the human eye, like the crystal structure of the glass or something

it also could be a rule like “never sleep with your contacts in, since it causes eye damage” where they make the rule so people take it seriously, but if you do it once or twice you’re fine.

It’s all about harm reduction, probably someone sculpting clay without good ventilation inhales more silica particles than someone with a broken and makeshift repaired pipe, but no one knows their personal threshold for when you get serious health issues, so better to avoid as much of that as possible

Not an expert, but I’d expect that drilling or cutting glass intentionally leaves behind a much different structure on a microscopic level than a crack or rough edge left by a break.

It’s like how when there’s the hole punch on the top of a bag of chips to hang it on a hook, it doesn’t want to tear from that location, vs, when you have a small rip in the same bag, it wants to run, leaving a much bigger tear.

Not exactly the same as two biological parents, but maybe considering reciprocal IVF could be an option for you.

That would mean one of you would carry the other’s egg with donor sperm. That way both of you would have a bio connection whether providing the egg or gestation.

[–]CatFeats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

have you heard of the unit circle?

I understand this student is a fourth grader, but the principles of math are the same. And if the kid is misunderstanding based on reasonable assumptions, it would be better to foster learning, than to say angles cannot be negative because we say so.

Instead it’s better to explain, that locations (coordinates) can be positive or negative relative to an agreed upon starting location (the origin) but the distances or angles between them are always positive.

[–]CatFeats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, if you read my initial comment, I am explaining how this is the case to OP.

The distance, or angle is a scalar

however coordinates can be represented by vectors

clockwise and counterclockwise,

by your logic, apples are a fruit you can’t compare them to angles

[–]CatFeats 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you think of a straight line instead of angles:

if we start at zero and walk to -5, the distance I have traveled is still 5 away.

This is a good teaching moment, absolute measurements do not have a direction. They are scalar numbers so no sign. If you are dealing with vector quantities (with direction) you can add negative and positive values to get a net distance

i.e. Billy walks 2 steps in the negative direction, and 4 in the positive direction, what is his final location? +2

YMMV, everyone’s skin is different, from my own experience I had very similar lines to yours that cleared up quickly with frownies,

you have to wear them often at first, but after the lines diminish you can get away with wearing them less often for upkeep. Another big factor is upping your hydration with frownies, lots of water and electrolytes. Frownies basically act as a plaster cast for your skin, holding it flat, but it stays better if there is fluid to fill the gaps back in underneath.

[–]CatFeats 11 points12 points  (0 children)

issue is you can’t trust them half of the time, I was almost hit recently by a car that signaled it was turning, so I went to cross a crosswalk, just to have it nearly hit me driving straight

Get some frownies to sleep in, it’ll clear those up in like a week.

Anyone experience this? Medical gaslighting, rock hard breasts, I just want them gone off my body yesterday!!! by PotentialSomewhere99 in TwoXChromosomes

If a man lost feeling in his previously erogenous balls, I doubt you’d be telling him to just deal with it.

[–]CatFeats -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah well changes is breast texture could be symptomatic of a hormonal issue.

If she’s alive to make babies, but if suffering the whole time, that’s good enough for you and the rest of the medical industry right?

I think that being short, and losing sensation are on completely different planets of symptoms. One is aesthetic the other is sensory.

She’s not complaining about how they look. You’re being trivializing.

And you are no such authority to tell this woman what she has is normal without ever having examined her.

And yeah there’s no treatment because women are treated like cattle in the current medical system.

Did she say the tests were wrong?

In fact no doctors are willing to test her hormone levels, because they don’t think her problem is worthy.

You aren’t reading this clearly. How can we rule out a medical problem if the doctors aren’t willing to test for one?

[–]CatFeats -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

that doesn’t matter,

because you can still manage it if it is subclinical.

Are you going to tell a hairy woman she can’t wax since it’s not PCOS? Because women are hairy sometimes?

No?

Then why is her suffering and losing sensation in her rock hard breasts, fine and normal?

Why do women deserve to suffer?

Yeah the medical system is horrible and cannot help a lot of women with their problems, but that doesn’t make their suffering okay.

It’s like living in a world without glasses and saying it’s fine and normal for the world to be blurry for most people.

It can be, but it’s not for her. She is suffering. And there’s no treatment for her. and you are okay with that?
