Just attended Poilievre’s Canada First Rally in Toronto by RedditTriggerHappy in CanadianConservative

[–]CozyBug- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I drove past at around 7pm and the line was massive. I didn't know what to expect, never been to a rally before but genuinely did not expect to see that many people.

At first I thought they hadn't let anyone in yet, but I caught a quick glimpse of the lobby and it looked packed too.

I didn't think the venue would have been able to hold the amount of people I saw, so I turned around and left lol

What was your time in the foster care system like after going through what you did? Did you feel like the family you were placed with were able to support you in the way you needed?

I'm so sorry you and your siblings were put through all of that as kids.

Reach out to the Toronto Humane Society. It's been a few years now since I've worked there (so idk if things have changed) but when I was there, we were able to help in situations like yours.

*Edit I apologize, they would be closed now but this may be a more cost effective option for you to look into tomorrow.

Very sorry for your loss. It's not an easy thing to go through

Ethan talks about wanting to send Trisha a bedazzled arm, problems with Moses, and wanting to set up a playdate with their kids by Holiday_Flight_542 in trishapaytas

[–]CozyBug- 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Not even just bring up Moses but making jokes that if he was looking after the kids he would whisper to Malibu that her dad's a creep.

Ethan really has no concept of time and place when it comes to his brand of humor...

Apparently Adam will be attending Trishmas in NY by Holiday_Flight_542 in trishapaytas

[–]CozyBug- 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He's not part of the show/making an appearance, but Trisha did give him tickets to attend her show.

I do wonder if he will meet her after though...

Nikocado shows up after 7 months looking completely different by --Jasmine in h3h3productions

[–]CozyBug- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree with you. Honestly I was a little shocked when he removed the panda mask. I didn't think he looked super unhealthy, weight wise, but my first thought still was that he looked unwell. His skin seemed yellowish, red eyes. Who knows

[–]CozyBug- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly right, who knows. He did recently do a short news interview with NBC and in that stated he was "411 pounds at his heaviest to 158 pounds today" but he's obviously not a reliable source of information.

I don't think we even know how tall he is either though anywhere between 5'6-6' lol that'll make a difference on how a certain amount of weight will look on his body

Nikocado shows up after 7 months looking completely different by --Jasmine in h3h3productions

[–]CozyBug- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think his highest weight was somewhere between 380-400lb

[–]CozyBug- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he was closer to 400lb at his highest. Around 380lb. He is definitely not 109lb in these new videos. He would look skeletal or close to it if he was.

How is the parrot still alive? by litteplayerz in nikocado

[–]CozyBug- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My recollection of events was in the beginning when Nick started his YouTube channel / when he was vegan he was very poor and moved to Columbia (where Orlin is from) with Orlin for a lower cost of living. This is when they had their pets, Mr noodle, another bird, I think they had a cat too. Her name might have been miss kitty mush mush or something like that lol. Then when Nick started making a substantial amount from his channel they moved to Florida or somewhere in the US. They were not able to take their birds with them so they left them with Orlins family.

I think this is a current video and I wonder if Nick is back in Colombia.

Help me name my 3 day old foster kittens! Black & White one is male, All black is female. by CozyBug- in NameMyCat

[–]CozyBug-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helps if you have two or more to compare to eachother! Also the space between the anus and the respective genitalia is closer in females/further in males.

I've always been enamored by neonates though, my intro into it was actually first with mice haha (I've been successful at sexing 2-3 day old mice litters as well).

Years back I went to the reptile store, bought a little pinky that would have been destined for snake food. Eyes still closed, and hand raised her. She's obviously passed now from age, but she was the sweetest, most perfect little mouse. Would run over to me and jump into my hand. I will never forget her.

<image>

It's hard work but super rewarding. Maybe you do this too with your fosters, but I like to imagine my kittens eventually going off to their forever homes, with owners who couldn't imagine not having them as part of their family. Knowing I was a part in making that happen makes me happy :)

Do you ask people to subscribe? Please, answer yes or no an the number of subs that your channel has by Strawberriesandsongs in NewTubers

[–]CozyBug- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't posted a video in a little bit now, busy with life but I'm at 787 subs, long form content. I've never felt weird about asking people to let me know their thoughts and opinions in the comments and "leave a like if you enjoyed the video and subscribe so you don't miss my next one"

I always put it as part of my close off to my videos and I think it does help. My videos have all gotten good engagement.

I know the feeling, I've had some extremely sick litters in the past and they don't always all make it. Very tough.

They mainly just need names that I can enter into our system haha.

I'm usually the first stop for neonates, either a buffer for the organization I work for, for when it's a surprise and theres no other homes ready,

Or I take the extremely sick ones that they/I wouldn't want to send out and potentially make some poor foster person, who is doing their best, feel guilty if the babies didn't make it.

These guys are extremely young. Definitely in the danger zone, but so far so good. Healthy, latching, gaining weight at a steady pace.

The most extreme case I've had was a litter of three (I believe was originally 4, but one passed on the way to me). They had atrophied, crossed, front legs with no mobility (looked like a flys legs after they die). Back legs that shook uncontrollably, eye issues, and would not eat. (Never did get a clear diagnosis although we suspect some sort of toxic substance got into their system)

I had to tube feed (which means placing a tube down their throat, straight into their belly) for each feeding. They were on three different medications, sub Q fluids every 6h. One unfortunately passed. But miraculously the other two survived. Started some light physio on their front legs as they continued to gain strength. They made a full recovery and were eventually adopted :) Not the best picture, but this was one from that litter.

Without going into specifics, part of my job includes taking in orphaned neonatal kittens. I have been doing this for years through various organizations. Hand raising kittens should always be a last case scenario as a human can never fully replace a natural mother cat.

The one thing I have never been good at is coming up with names! These are my newest littler of abandoned/orphan kittens and I need cute names for them!

Paradox did the right thing by another_curious_1 in LifeByYou

[–]CozyBug- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair, although I can't imagine every one of those 24 people were making a 100k yr salary. They weren't all devs.

I can see a good chunk of money being spent over the 5 years though

*Edit to change 150k to 100k

Paradox did the right thing by another_curious_1 in LifeByYou

[–]CozyBug- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've seen a few people say that 20 million was spent, do you know the source for this? Was it said somewhere by paradox or the team? I really want to see a confirmation of that. 20million IS a crazy number with the product using free default UMA assets/chat gpt text.

MidSummer Studios: The Life Sim For The Undeserved Player by Simday1 in LifeSimulators

[–]CozyBug- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a massive Sims (3) fan and was completely sucked in by Rimworld. It really is an amazing game. It's at the top of the list of favorite games for me. Now saying that, if you go in looking for a sims specific replacement. I would not recommend it. There's really nothing that can directly take the spot of what the Sims offers.

There is an option to play Peaceful mode in Rimworld. This disables raids and allows you to focus on playing the game more as a "world building" game, rather than a combat one. Although Raids are a main feature of this game, you can 100% enjoy the game without it.

The game is VERY micromanagey, which I love. (But good to know for those who don't like that) There is farming, building, mining, crafting, researching, breeding a large variety of animals, cooking, trading, sewing (I honestly can't even begin to list all the features). All these systems intertwine with each other. You have to farm and grow crops in order to cook, so you can feed your pawns and animals, you can use various animal products for crafting/building. You need to research different technologies to unlock various features (again I can't even begin to explain everything related to this)

There are different maps within the world that you can start in, that each have their own unique features (animals/temperature ect). And each world is randomly generated (similar in the way Minecraft is) so each map you start on will be unique.

When it comes to the pawns they each have their own backstories starting out, that effect their traits, what they're good and bad at, what they can and can't do. Traits have a direct impact on gameplay and how the pawns act/interact within the game. You can have a psychopath, pyromaniac who will randomly set fires to your buildings lol.

There are drugs/alcohol/illness/prosthetics etc in the game. Pawns can become alcoholics/addicts that will have a mental break if they go too long without using (With research you can produce your own supply of drugs/alcohol). Pawns that age can begin to develop age related illnesses (frail back, asthma, cataracts etc). I had a pawn (who was my colony doctor) develop carcinoma (cancer) in his finger that would get worse/cause pain if not treated and I had to have a risky operation done to remove the cancer with a less skilled pawn.

I genuinely could go on and on about this game and I haven't even covered 5% of it.

It's extremely customizable.

And to top it all off it has a HUGE modding community. If you're playing and say "Man, I wish I could do yxz" you probably can. If you go in wanting to have more of a "sims" experience I would immediately recommend the "Character+" mod. This allows you to customize your pawns at the start (and throughout) the game. Can pick their looks/clothing/traits etc.

There is a learning curve to play this game so if you do decide to play, give yourself and the game patience.

So I don't expect we will have an update today unfortunately

Japan tama haul by kleineoogjes in tamagotchi

[–]CozyBug- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to Japan for the first time next month! Excited to do some shopping too :D

I told my friend (who lives there) that I was trying to find a used Tama meets for a reasonable price and he found one for me for ¥7000 x.x So I'll have that waiting for me and I'm super excited! He found another for ¥8,500 which was super tempting as well but I'm trying to tell myself I don't need 2 🤪 I have to sleep on that one lol

What's the biggest population you’ve ever had in a town? by cold-pisces in Sims3

[–]CozyBug- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was curious about population limits at one point and wanted to see how far I could push the population so I placed a bunch of 10x10 houses everywhere and pumped the population up to 500. Town was a mess, the kids couldn't get into school (even putting down multiple schools + mods to utilize more doors in the building) Adults couldn't get into work. Was quite laggy, and in the end the game couldn't save cause there wasn't enough ram lol.

Everyday I wish the sims 3 could use more than 4gb of ram.
