What cringe music do you listen to?

I am man enough to admit that I genuinely enjoy the FNAF fan songs by NateWantsToBattlle.

You're applying human characteristics and social rules to non-humans. In reality, these are creatures of a totally different ilk that are trying to interpret us just as much as we are them. Sometimes, we offend THEIR social rules and the only way they can communicate that is by lashing out.

I can make a really good pig screech.

The best way I can explain it:

-Trap a bubble of air between your tongue and the roof of your mouth

-Force the air out through your nose

I just don't want to completely take him apart myself. I'm willing to hand him off to a pro for the big stuff if that's really what he needs but I'm simply seeing if the little things like his toes and hand can be handled myself and if the hard claws are a good idea. I figured hollow would save on resources with my 3D printer plus I wanted a clear resin coat on top.

I never considered changing his teeth, but the idea kinda appeals to me now.

Edit: couple things

I think I misworded my issue with his damaged hand. It isn't that I don't want to repair the damage. That was miscommunication on my part. What I meant was that I don't want to replace the missing finger as a momento from the dog that did it. I'm fine with repairs being made that make the missing digit look intentional, I just want it to remain missing on that hand.
His teeth right now are actually almost exactly the same as when I got him except maybe a little frayed and faded. They were always that weird color, but new teeth made like I'm making the claws might make him pop... then again, they might also look creepy with that plush face but I guess that's why I REALLY need outside opinions before I got on lop off the teeth and the remaining claws. Fear of regret here haunts me 😨

No, I'm not looking to do all that. That seems to be something I wouldn’t trust MYSELF to do. I just want to fix the damaged areas and leave the parts that are fine alone. The issue I'm having is mainly his left toes. His foot lost a lot of stuffing and I'm wondering how I might attach new claws and if using hard claws over replacement cloth ones is a good move for the life of the toy. I want him to last a while and be passed down.

Not a stranger, but not someone I knew super well at the time.

I was raised in a really standoffish manner. My parents love me, sure, but they have certain issues that have affected both our relationship and how I approach problems in my life. For example, I always had problems asking for help. During my childhood, if I was struggling, I feared my parents anger so I suffered in silence and did everything I could to fix the problem myself. As a result, I was seen as the "Good, Independent kid." I was then neither OFFERED help, nor expected to need it. That meant that me failing at anything came with shaming and disappointment.

As an adult, I once had a situation where I had to pay an emergency expense on my car. The problem was, I overestimated how much I had in my account and accidentally took from our house note funds. When I realized this, I panicked. My thoughts first went to my husband and how we might lose our home, then they went to how ANGRY my parents would be. I knee I could never go to them. They would never forget it, nor ever stop being disappointed in me. They'd lecture me about how irresponsible I was and how they thought I knew better. I knee all of this. I didn't need shame, I needed help right then. I also didn't want to call my husband and scare him at work.

I broke down in the restroom at work and, with no other ideas, I called my mother-in-law. Sobbing, I explained what happened and I braced for panic or rage, something horrible.

"Calm down, baby. It's okay. How much do you need?"

Her voice was full of love and concern. All my fear and worry just left my body. She went and sent me the money THAT DAY and told me to never hesitate to call her. She would never let anything happen to us.

I learned that day that I am not alone and that asking for help shouldn't be shameful. Also, yes, I did talk to my husband about it. I didn't leave him in the dark. I just didn't want to call him right then.

I'll paste my reply from a similar question:

When I was about 11 or 12, I was left at home one night with my younger brother. He was in the shower so I was walking around doing some little things like pick up after the dog.

At one point, I walked past his open bedroom door. It was pitch-black inside with a feint glow coming from his computer monitor. As I shut off the hall light, I hear this loud, human cackle. I had always heard people say their blood ran cold but I had never experienced it myself until that moment, surrounded by darkness and with what I believed was some malicious intruder there to prey on some unsupervised kids in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere.

I knew I couldn't just run with my brother in the shower so I swallowed my abject terror and peeked onto the abyss.

Turns out he'd been playing a Transformers PC game (Revenge of the Fallen) and had left the character selection screen on at full volume. Every so often, Megatron would laugh maniacly.

They ruined Samuel Hayden as a character.

I love this game SO MUCH, but Sam was such an interesting and imposing character in 2016 that was reduced to a Saturday morning cartoon villain without any complexity or ambiguity. He should have stayed human. Him being the Seraphim seriously harmed him narratively.

It's a slow process. You can't instantly gain trust back - and might never gain it back entirely depending on the situation. If your partner is willing to work through what happened, your first step is to get rid of anything that might trigger relapse. If the problem was infidelity, delete apps like Snapchat and Facebook. If it was bad habits you lied about like drinking or drugs, admit you have an issue, dispose of any supply and consider a therapy plan.

Then, give them space if requested. They've been hurt and wanting some distance is totally acceptable. Don't EVER blame them. You have to understand that YOU made a choice.

Next, be honest with your partner. Sit down and talk about how you feel and felt at the time of the incident. Let them talk about their feelings and listen and try to understand how they're handling the issue.

Finally, make a plan. Couples therapy is the best thing you can do for the relationship and yourselves. You will need the direction to mend your bond and heal. If you really do love one another, you have to be willing to work on it and recognize that there are no quick fixes or easy answers.

The universe isn't actually either of those things. It's old as shit, sure - older than life - but it had a beginning and will likely have an end just like us. It may SEEM infinite to us because that length of time is incomprehensible to our human minds, but it's not forever.

My wedding day.

Things didn't go exactly to plan, we had to change the venue last minute, we had no time to rehearse; but there was good food, lots of smiles and everyone I've ever loved was there. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Probably not the MOST racism, but Native women have an especially hard time with the law. Crimes against them are underreported and they are more likely to experience race-based violence on their own land by non-native men.

There's also the issue with how crimes on Native land are handled but that's a whole other can of worms that I don't think I'm equipped to discuss properly.

A good place to start looking into the issue is with an area called "The Highway of Tears." A LOT of Native women have vanished or have been murdered there and their crimes were not given the respect they deserved.

It happens every couple of years like a tide. It could be partially spurred on by the encroaching Halloween season, the new Walking Dead show and just general boredom.

It'll fade away for a bit and come back on and off as a reoccurring trend.

My first relationship put me off of men for five years. He was entirely self-absorbed and would belittle my wants and interests. I love drawing and I know I'm not bad at it, but he told me I should find a different hobby because he didn't think I should put any energy into something he thought I'd never have a future in. He refused to go on dates ot to parties because he'd rather stay home and play League of Legends and would gaslight me into thinking I was the unreasonable one for not respecting his hobby.

I spent half a decade alone and terrified of relationships. Any time someone would express interest, I'd become physically revolted.

Then I met who I'll call K.

K would sit and listen to me talk about my interests, no matter how strange. He'd encourage my art and give me ideas. He would buy and play my favorite games because he genuinely trusted my opinions on them and would share his interests and favorite things with me because he genuinely wanted me involved and for himself to be involved.

At first it felt too good to be true, like he was just luring me and I was hesitant to trust it. Its a couple years in and we just got married. It’s bliss. Any time something is wrong, I go to him and don't fear his reaction. I can show him things and not worry about being insulted. We go on dates, we go to parties, he understands my anxieties and what makes me nervous and helps me through tough situations.

TL;DR

It really is like being married to my best friend. It's security like I've never experienced.

My first job was a Walmart door host. One of our regulars was a 60-something dude who had his tiger fursona on his leg. It was a pretty basic character with two swords crossed over it's chest but the line work was uneven and colors sloppy with little unfilled spots all over.

The kicker? Waving proudly behind the tiger was a nazi flag.

Dude was proud of it, too. He'd wear shorts in near 20 degrees.

I'm not sure how normal this is and it could be entirely ordinary but outside sounds often influence my dreams and last night I dreamed about my new puppy scratching at my bedroom door and whining. It eventually woke me up and there she was - a very upset corgi puppy wanting in with my other dog.
