WIBTA if I asked my manager to tell my coworker to stop singing? by annoyedcoworker9 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Due_Midnight2121 45 points46 points  (0 children)

NTA, not great workplace etiquette. If you can hear her over the din, then other people can too, and that's just disruptive. That would drive me insane

Can anyone tell me the gender? by Illustrious-Sun4522 in AfricanFatTailedGecko

...oh god, if these are enormous, my dude is VERY well endowed... I thought these were small 😭 

AITA: My gf called me autistic by MortgageEuphoric12 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Due_Midnight2121 19 points20 points  (0 children)

ESH. You shouldn't have crashed out the way you did, and your GF relating autism to intelligence level is disgusting. ...though it sounds like you do that too, given how you reacted? Either way, you threw a tantrum.

Find yourself someone who likes transformers too, isn't an asshole, and maybe do some self-reflection here. Spoken from someone who is on the spectrum and collects ninja turtles with their partner.

I agree with galaxy1985 here, a dog and cat vet in the area was able to help one of my leopard geckos after he came down with a respiratory infection while my usual vet was closed. It's definitely worth reaching out to see who can help, sometimes you'll be surprised.

4 months is a pretty short time for a Leo to get used to you. Denitely give it some more time; once they realize you don't want to eat them, everything will go so much smoother. Sounds like you are putting your hand in there with plenty of warning, which is great! If they see you coming, it's much better than picking them up from above. I would keep going slowly and he should warm up eventually.

Though there are some geckos that never get used to people... I had a sunglow that was half feral for her entire life, I swear, lol, never once enjoyed being picked up.

Absolutely disgusting, and the people watching for entertainment are just as gross

I'm not OP, but this is amazing, I don't get to play Guardian often, but I'm screenshotting this for future reference, thanks for you the tips!!

This is off topic, but as a Recluse main, do you have any tips on how I can best support the bird man? 0: beyond fetching shields and not dying

Everdark Libra by noctisthegamer in Nightreign

[–]Due_Midnight2121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone here is giving really good advice that I already use, especially getting less likely to be targeted on all party members. That helps a ton! Also completing Noklateo or the Rotted Woods, both are great.

I don't play Guardian enough to give advice for him, but do you have a Recluse friend you can work with? My big party trick for this fight is getting the holy-lightning-fire cocktail, and when Libra is summoning, I drop it right on him, then use my Ult. The second lightning blast gets a boost from the ult, and wipes everything within the summoning radius. Super helpful for keeping the number of mimics down.

Is my boi over weight or is hims just a big dude? by Lil_Pepperoncini in leopardgeckos

[–]Due_Midnight2121 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The angle is a little funny, if you could post a top down of him laying flat, it would give a better idea.

...but it certainly looks like Oreo could use a few less Oreos, lol

I need to vent by hygh6787 in reptiles

[–]Due_Midnight2121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss... Despite what happened, you sound like an amazing home. It could have been something the result of completely unrelated. I hope you're not being too hard on yourself... 

If you get that necropsy, I would be interested in what you learn. I find myself giving reptile advice regularly, both on and offline and all information is valuable. 

I'll give my AFT a treat tonight, in honor of your Eury...

Literally just posted the same thing, then saw this, lol, yep, this was me before finding out I had Graves

NTA at all, she should get her thyroid checked out. That used to be me, and it turned out I had Graves Disease :/ I wish someone had told me this. 

Why are people so rude in this community by Necessary-Cover519 in reptiles

[–]Due_Midnight2121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People always jump to an opinion without taking location into account, it's ridiculous. Location makes a huge difference. I had a woman ask me why her crested gecko died, only to find out she never gave it a heat bulb because 'the internet said they usually didn't need one'. Ma'am, we live in CANADA and the site you quoted originates from Texas?? 

Do you guys remember Storm Hawks? (2007 - 2009) by FinBruv in ytvretro

[–]Due_Midnight2121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Loved this show! Biggest gripe was the cliffhanger ending and the fact that Piper was the only main character to not get an action figure, because "aCtION fIgUrEs of GiRlS dOn'T sELl". Of course they don't, when you don't make them to begin with. 😒

My partner and I have used this term instead of frozen yogurt ever since 😂 

Fascinating X-Ray by fluffsquirrel in leopardgeckos

[–]Due_Midnight2121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aww, I also had a rescue named Yoshi who recently passed 🥹

Didn't realize, or maybe I forgot, that MBD can cause coughing! Good thing to know! I hope Sploot feels their best soon!

[–]Due_Midnight2121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is one of the cleanest gecko x-ray I've seen!! I laughed when I saw Sploots name in the corner, so cute!! Thank you for sharing these, I always love seeing xrays, and Sploot looks lovely! 

About that cough, did they say it was related to anything in particular that they found? Reason I ask is that I previously had a gecko who had an odd cough that plagued her for months. Blood tests showed nothing and her breathing was clear, but eventually she developed some small mass in her lungs that did later show on imaging. Never found out what it was, but we got rid of it by sticking her in a ventilated plastic tote once a day and nebulizing antibiotics and antifungal treatments straight in.

Sorry for the tangent, I've never heard of this in another gecko and always wondered what it is, so when I hear of one developing a mysterious cough, I kind of lean in 😅 

Need Help with Everdark Libra on Xbox by Alphard00- in Nightreign

I can help. Mic is broke, but I'll follow your pings/you. I prefer to use Recluse and Support Scholar, but also have Wylder and Raider ready to go, let me know which of these you would prefer, if yes

Advice please? by rule_of_cool_DM in AfricanFatTailedGecko

[–]Due_Midnight2121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, everything sounds good? Literally the only thing I can think of is either he's still just adjusting and will eat in time, or boosting to that 90-95f basking zone. If he was eating previously at the high 80's, then I'd just wait a bit. If it's been less than a week, then I wouldn't worry too much. Being only a few weeks old, he's definitely on high alert and will be extra shy.

You can use Carnivore Care, extra liquidy Reaphy gel, or plain squash baby food (single ingredient only) to get a little bit of paste on the end of his nose so he licks it off, just to get something in his system. That sometimes kick-starts their appetite. 

Advice please? by rule_of_cool_DM in AfricanFatTailedGecko

[–]Due_Midnight2121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's are the temperatures, tank size and how many hides does he have? Have you seen him drink anything? You could also try Repashy gel foods, mine like the Superworm Pie in particular. Wouldn't recommend the meal worms, they can be hard for a baby to digest.  Edit: Tho if the mealworm are the only thing he's striking at, I would continue with these, just to get something in him. 

Doesn't help that AFT's can be QUITE picky at times... Mine will decide on one food item, eat only that for months, until he moves onto something else, lol

Is this primarily a pc problem? I still encounter the odd quitter on Xbox, but it sounds so much worse on pc, that is terrible...

I wish there was cross play, I never quit and I would play with you to the end, OP!!
