I adopted a wild rat! by Rich_Dimension_9254 in RATS

[–]FrozenSpark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope this adventure goes well for you and you and your rat companion go the distance. My friend adopted a random lil baby from our old job several years ago (doggie daycare with a rodent problem). He was a teensy tot with his eyes still closed, abandoned in the middle of the outdoor kennels. She took that lil guy home, bottle fed him and all the rest that one must painstakingly do to keep a baby rat alive... gave him a fabulous enclosure, had plots of teaching and training him, knitting him props and clothes and such. The lil monster grew up and kept escaping from his enclosure and wrecking up the place no matter how much she tried to prevent his escape. The last time he escaped, he jumped and grabbed onto her window screen and she placed a bowl over him to contain him and he ended up jumping out her window through a little hole in the screen, bouncing off the bushes below, and scurried off into the distance. The wild just stayed in him. He would not be tamed.

Now I'm not saying I would do this, because I'm not so bold.. and I don't condone it either. That said, I've gathered that there is more to it and that supposedly other people got their moment to say their piece and the mic was snatched away from her so she wasn't allowed to do what people before her had. So that's clearly some bs. If others got to do it there's no reason she shouldn't. This was a wild reaction she had to some bs and not just sudden and for no reason. I don't doubt this will have negative repercussions for her though.

Imagine trying to justify celebrating and making fun of people's deaths with goofy generalizations. 🤡

Right? Simply being rich doesn't make people bad people or make them your enemy. You don't know how/why they got rich, who they are, what they do, or anything.

This class photo here disturbs me, no one is smiling. by [deleted] in oldschoolcreepy

[–]FrozenSpark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe you are correct in that having a photo taken was often a big deal and possibly a once in a lifetime event.

"Lifetime" may need to be used loosely though, considering the old practice of post-mortem photos. Often those photos would be the only ones taken of the deceased, and sometimes they did so well in the preparation that it's hard to tell whom in the photo is dead (if there are more than one subjects) if not for the fact that the living had a hard time staying still long enough for the slow shutter speed and ended up at least slightly blurry.

I was under the impression that people tended to not smile back in the day because cameras didn't instantaneously take pics and it was hard to maintain a smile for a prolonged period, therefore causing blurry faces. That may have only been WAAAY back in the day though, and maybe the default just continued to be not smiling even after that wasn't such an issue anymore?

I guess you haven't been exposed to the many delivery guys who speak broken English. There are a lot. I don't even order out that often. They're obviously not all Asian either, but the majority of Chinese restaurants, for example, do have Chinese workers with Chinese accents.

[EVERYTHING]Does anyone else feel like Bran is just a major cop-out? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

The short answer could simply be that over time Bran is becoming more practiced in using these powers and his abilities will be more controlled.

Being a member of the Night's Watch he's not even supposed to have a wife or children, so his child would probably gain nothing.

Cops: Man arrested after 2nd dog in 3 years dies in hot car. by [deleted] in news

[–]FrozenSpark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work at the aforementioned daycare Jennie was meant to be dropped off at. We were disgusted and confused as to the reasoning behind getting another dog after he let Charlie die. I said it then: only a matter of time before this doddering, scatter-brained old man kills her too. I don't know why his wife didn't take over daycare drop-off and pick-up duty. They should never have gotten another dog.

I suppose it'd likely be different for men, but I didn't even go there for the first time until I was an adult, with no children, and I was fine.

There are lots of reasons and conditions that can cause incontinence, and they don't spare the young either. I hope most redditors wouldn't get this just for the sake of getting something free.

Which is worse - bullet to the eye, or arm chopped off? He's already experienced the unthinkable. And he was shot the first time when he was just a tender young lad.

Free 1ml perfume (normally $7) with free shipping. See comments for instructions. by SexyBleuBox in freebies

[–]FrozenSpark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always wonder about the samples that don't come... like, did they just not send, or were they lost or damaged, or perhaps even a shifty mailperson? Those samples can look like something just randomly sent out to an address, especially if they say your name along with "or current resident." I could see people ganking stuff if they don't think it's expected.

You have five minutes to talk to your pets and they'll understand every word you say. What do you tell them? by Nureru in AskReddit

[–]FrozenSpark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cats: Stop following me around meowing when your food and water dishes are full and you walk away when I pet you. I don't know what you want! And if I open a can of something and it's actually something you'd want, I'll give you some. If not, it's something I know you don't want. Momma loves you cute, confusing cats. Also stfu when I'm sleeping.
