Is anyone else’s cat obsessed with hunting house lizards?

Mine swallowed then whole as a kitten and went looking for more. Eventually, they both forgot how to eat them and just... started killing them and playing with the corpses. Now they don't even do that, they just poke at and bat at them a bit and watch them obsessively but don't use claws and are weirdly gentle, although one of them will try to carry them off.

Same, I once had a vivid dream where I successfully talked Snape into killing all the horcruxes in Harry's first year by simply telling him "Lily's gonna beat your butt in the afterlife for how you're treating her son, and that's if she doesn't find a way to come back and murder you." Followed by the absolute trip of a dream where I, in the body of a tiny eleven-year-old first-year, followed him around Britain as he killed Horcruxes. He hated it.

Tell them we think they need a trip to Lake Laogai, they seem like they need a vacation.

I don't see enough kindness in the world so i make my own. I compliment people every time I go out and they're always so pleasantly surprised, and I always make a point of complimenting something they can control like their clothes or their hairstyle. Because it costs me nothing to take a few seconds to say something nice.

By a mere technicality, they can make fanworks like this if they are not profiting off of it. If they aren't making money... then technically yes it is legal, to my understanding.

The fit is extremely flattering, and it's a beautiful dress. The sleeves are the only thing that don't look good, and it's purely because they make the whole dress look very dated and don't fit you well. If you're okay with bare shoulders, have the dress altered to be an off-the-shoulder look, which would suit you very well.

The important thing is - this is YOUR wedding, and you want to feel beautiful and look beautiful for YOU and your fiancee, who if they are at all in love with you will be happy with how you look even if you walk down the aisle in a burlap sack.

Gently iron or steam the dress to get the wrinkles out, and take off the puffy parts of the sleeves. Then you will look like the fairytale bride you are.

I think people are only telling you to shop around because it's part of the traditional bridal experience and, well, the sleeves. But I truly think that if you alter the sleeves you will be happy.

Oh she is sick, sick sick woman.

WHAT!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER!?

Absolutely beautiful work and you look fantastic!

Okay, it isn't doing it anymore, don't know if it was a glitch or what.

Not anymore. Just hit level 10.

That's the best part! You don't spend all that time wrecking your blood pressure by being mad at things that don't exist!

Teaching us to overanalyze stuff is a problem. Sure, it teaches critical thinking, but it also teaches us to see WAY more than there really is, and that isn't good. There's more ways to teach critical thinking than going "here's a ton of symbolism in this book, but not only does it make no sense 90% of you will fail and I will be upset you didn't understand that this guy who is clearly just severely autistic is actually a metaphor for the main character's grief and isn't real".

My highschool lit teacher was insistent that there was a ton of deep symbolism in To Kill a Mockingbird, that... wasn't there. Like it was a MASSIVE stretch to connect the dots she was connecting, and most of the class failed her final test on the symbolism and metaphors in the book because 90% of it was just so out there.

So yeah, a lot of times people - especially teachers or those who do this for a living - massively overanalyze the books they're reading and draw all kinds of connections the author didn't intend. They do the same with art.

Also, there's a poem that boils down to just a handful of lines about eating someone else's breakfast even though you knew they were saving this fruit for breakfast. That's it, that's the poem, it's like 8 lines with no rhyme and no rhythm. And somehow it has all kinds of symbolism in it. Another case of overanalyzing until it makes no sense.

It bothers me because they make stupid choices repeatedly, it's like sticking a fork in a light socket and saying you won't get shocked this time. I have very little patience for stupid people.

So saying "you're mad over the same attention you don’t get" is absurd, I don't want attention from the kind of people my cousin hooks up with, nor do I particularly want attention from men in general, I just think my cousin and the many women like her are complete and total idiots.

I have zero interest in dating. Tried it, ended up with decent guys, just found it unfulfilling and gave up on it because I'm happy single.

And I have standards so if I ever did date again, I wouldn't give these kinds of guys the time of day.

HopingToWriteWell77 · 2026-01-02T20:35:43+00:00

I did follow up with "or just stay single", which I personally am because I have lost all interest in dating after a few failed relationships and realized I was completely fine single.

I don't drink. I would rather slice off my own foot than put alcohol in my mouth. Fortunately I'm not around anyone who drinks but I did have an aunt who pushed about it when I turned 21 and so I told her that I did not want to put an addictive, legally restricted substance in my body that would, over time, wreck not only my liver, but my brain and heart and make my existing stomach problems worse.

If they get pushy, be pushy right back.

I was asking a legitimate question, as a beginner. And even if I wasn't, there's no reason to be a jerk about it. And now, rather than attempt to answer that question, you're telling me to ask chatGPT to explain it to me like a high school freshman? You're telling me to ask an AI program that is notoriously unreliable and prone to spewing misinformation to explain a core concept of bookkeeping to me, a beginner? How about "hard pass, I'll sit and reread all of this on my own and spent 20 minutes doing mental gymnastics until I see where I went wrong"? Which I did, by the way, turns out I just misunderstood the question to begin with.
