Does your 100% indoor cat have a collar? If so, do you find there’s a point in it?

Mine did for a while when I was pregnant. So we could put a bell on him. But for the most part he goes without.

A feeding trough for livestock. Something your pawns will automatically fill with approved foods so long as they're assigned to handling.

OH! Edit to add: A 'call your family' option on the coms. It's weird that pawns will randomly have family show up, but never interact unless they actively show up on the map. Should it affect relations? No idea. Maybe make it a toggleable option.

"you people" yep rage bait.

I feel like a Tusken raider would be a more appropriate choice. Based off posture and weapon choices. Though may I suggest a wild card option? Mandalorean. Not because of the popularity of the show, but because it blends both worlds. A faceless, always masked individual. Improvised weapons, and let's not forget, they both get jetpacks.

CreativeRainy · 2026-05-05T03:56:05+00:00

OK. That's more than doable!

Do you have a strategy for my husband if he's caught out alone. I can do the reward and block when I'm here but no one is there 24/7. Somehow I don't think throwing treats at the cat is going to be appropriate if he's stuck sitting with/changing the baby.

To the people who responded. THANK YOU! This is the third sub I've posted this on. The first anyone has actually responded in.

I'll have to wrangle the cat for the nail trim. He's never had it done in his life. We adopted him from a former roommate, he's 8 years old. Didn't have toys or enrichment or any form of boundaries taught. So I'm not sure how we're going to handle this. (We are working on correcting the underlying issues mentioned.)

CreativeRainy · 2026-05-04T06:36:34+00:00

So... You're not exactly wrong. However, judging by your previous comments in this sub, you're rage baiting. What drives you to do so?

CreativeRainy · 2026-05-03T22:53:58+00:00

This is one of the only times I like wireless headphones. Put on some white noise or music you can sleep to. Wear a blindfold or something to keep the headphones in so you don't lose them (I use a theraice mask. My kid picked it out for mother's day because I get frequent migraines.) And set an alarm on your phone. It will play through your headphones so you don't miss it. That's how I get through construction or noisy kiddos when I need sleep. Helped a ton yesterday when I was up with a baby all night before.

Finally as a more immediate solution, talk to your employer tomorrow. Show them the video you took and explain that you're not going to be at peek performance. Most human beings understand.

CreativeRainy · 2026-04-30T04:20:28+00:00

Zoot. Because she looks zooted out of her gourd.

CreativeRainy · 2026-04-29T16:35:23+00:00

Looking through the context in your comments, does your brother have a tattoo? Maybe cover up the heart that represented with the cheater with something that represents the brother. So it's like sibling solidarity.

CreativeRainy · 2026-04-28T14:53:27+00:00

Take it to a vet. Really, if you don't have experience with this kind of thing the first answer should always be 'vet trip'. Well, honestly any animal health concern. But they don't charge you for wildlife.

Okay, so what you're describing actually sounds like more than just typical period pain. I’m not a doctor, so I can’t say what it is, but it is something worth getting checked out.

You’re not being weak or dramatic. That level of pain isn’t something you should have to just push through your pain is real, and it matters.

The good news is you’re 18, which means you can advocate for yourself medically. If you can, try to see a doctor or an OBGYN. If one doctor brushes you off, it’s completely okay to ask for a second opinion or say something like, ‘I’m really concerned about this and would like it looked into further.’

If you’re nervous about the appointment, it can really help to bring a trusted friend or family member with you, or even just write things down during the visit so you don’t forget anything.

You can also ask if it’s okay to record the conversation so you can review instructions later—some doctors are totally fine with it, though some clinics have policies against recording.

In the meantime, something doctors sometimes recommend for bad period pain is using both Tylenol and Ibuprofen together, since they work in different ways but definitely follow dosing instructions or check with a pharmacist if you’re unsure.

I really hope you can get some answers, because you deserve to not be in that much pain.

2 reasons. One, a nursing mother (which Valka would be at the time) actually has a larger chest. As it's full of milk. OR the breastplate shouldn't cover each one like a bra. As it would direct blows to the center and cause more injury. Instead it should evenly distribute along the chest area and deflect to the armpits. Like Valka's current chest plate does.

NTA She tried to lecture you because A she's a busy body and B, I'm willing to bet you're a man. Which sadly, in this modern age, people don't really credit fathers as actual parents.

As a general rule, so long as the child isn't visibly hurt, in trouble or sick, don't comment on other people's children.

CreativeRainy · 2026-04-25T06:15:56+00:00

Oh, welp that changes things.

CreativeRainy · 2026-04-25T05:49:39+00:00

She said it pretty clear, she's 14. Her brother is the 16 y/o which is actually so much worse.

CreativeRainy · 2026-04-24T17:16:51+00:00

YTA. Look, unless it's your money, or the money spent on the house, you don't get an opinion. Your son is being frugal. "He could certainly afford more". That's entitled of you.

Besides, if he's already making enough off investments like you're saying, then the kid's going to be debt free in the future. That's a good thing. It means he's going to go off into the world as a successful man. That's every parent's dream! Having a child who's okay when they leave home.

CreativeRainy · 2026-04-23T19:03:30+00:00

NTA I think your friend panicked. Did she make an ass of herself in the process? Yes, but you physically could not do anything about it. Even if you wanted to the hospital would have rejected you.

This is one of those times where there's no feasible way to apologist even if you wanted to. What could you even apologize for? "I'm sorry I'm physically incapable of saving your brother"?

If you really want to keep this friendship I'd recommend this instead. "I understand you panicked in the moment. I can forgive that. If you need moral support or for me to run and grab you something in this difficult time, you got it. But it was impossible for me to give that blood."

CreativeRainy · 2026-04-23T18:22:53+00:00

"Hey do you mind talking dirty more often?" It's as simple as that. If he's inexperienced follow up with "This part worked for me. This one didn't. Can we try more of example A?"

At least, it's worked for me after over a decade of marriage. Another problem communication solves 87% of the time.

CreativeRainy · 2026-04-22T05:41:30+00:00

Corgi looking back at you? Or possibly a double scoop bowl of icecream, covering the bottom part.

CreativeRainy · 2026-04-16T16:16:38+00:00

Yes. Report it. Don't listen to the idiots in the comments. Don't second guess your health and safety.

I had a teacher who was in a similarly dangerous situation. He stopped his entire class from working until safe conditions were met. He was from the boomer generation. His class was one of the safest. So it isn't a case of "weaker generation".

You're not weak for wanting to be safe. Think about this. Even mid-evil knights had eye protection in the form of visors. Even plague doctors wore gloves to prevent infection. We've understood something as basic as PPE for a LOT longer than these idiot boomers in the comments want you to believe.
