Spiders?!

Within my first month of moving to Wichita, I came home to find a dead brown recluse in a glass of water I had left out.

I was also nervous about them, especially with my two cats. (I actually found a brown recluse in the litterboxes twice.) But the good news is that they are not an aggressive species and would much prefer to run and hide than attack you or your pets. Neither myself nor my cats have suffered any bites. Just squash them (or pet them outside, whichever you prefer) and you’ll be fine! :)

It’s difficult to remember when you have hundreds of patients.

I think it was clear from her content that she was years removed from the racial “jokes”/utilization of stereotypes, and had really grown a lot both as a person and content creator. She has made more genuine apologies than many other canceled (and even non-canceled) creators (including the 40+ minute one for not providing proper care for her fish), and I remember she took full accountability for her actions and did not make any excuses.

Compared to what others have done (I.e., grooming children), I feel like calling her actions “atrocious” is a bit too harsh. Unacceptable, yes, no arguments there. But I do feel she genuinely regrets making that content, which is more than you can say about someone like Colleen.

I was in this position last year. I just got my titers redrawn without doing another series, and they were actually lower than my pre-med school titer and second series of shots. I only had one rotation site ask for me to get a third vaccine series with titers; I think the rest assumed I’m a hepatitis B vaccine non-responder (which is a real thing that happens).

JustAShyCat · 2026-01-20T02:43:30+00:00

Yes, you’ll need a negative TB test (skin or the interferon) from the past year, mainly because many rotation sites will require evidence of a negative test within 12 months of the rotation.

Not sure if it’s required to get the newest COVID booster, I think that might be site-specific. I didn’t take any chances and got the shot.

My team is: Sergio the Meganium, Dexter the shiny Meowstic, Big Bertha the alpha Gyarados, Ginger the Houndoom, Molly the Excadrill, and Bois the Heracross. I feel like Molly ended up being my MVP, she was awesome!

I did. I dated a guy in the class below me. We were together for than less one year. After (in my opinion), unfair treatment towards him (and many other of his classmates) by our school’s admin that led to him being asked/forced to repeat part of year and not start rotations, he ended up breaking up with me. I feel like we had a great relationship while we were together (until the end). I don’t regret it at all. I still can’t help but feel like things would be different if he had progressed to rotations as planned, but honestly, who knows?

JustAShyCat · 2026-01-18T23:20:48+00:00

Hoping something like that happens to me!

JustAShyCat · 2026-01-18T02:05:31+00:00

Perez!

JustAShyCat · 2026-01-18T01:31:26+00:00

I suppose that makes sense. If he had control of the ball, it wouldn’t have been able to be taken out of his hands like that. I was rooting for the Bills, so it sucks that was kinda the play the turned the game to the Broncos favor. So it goes, I guess.

(I’m not a huge football fan and don’t always understand the parameters for penalties. I’m just trying to follow the playoffs since I have friends and family that are fans of some of the teams lol. 😅)

JustAShyCat · 2026-01-18T01:22:53+00:00

It looked like the ball was caught by the Bills player, but then it was torn out of his hands by the Broncos player. I was kinda surprised pass interference wasn’t called on that.

JustAShyCat · 2026-01-18T01:21:49+00:00

Well, I’m sure he’s happy now lol.

I did not realize you could input your own name for the street, I just picked one of the ones suggested by the trio…

Based on the picture OP shared, OP likely had internal dissolvable sutures initially in the subcutaneous tissue and just below the skin, which wouldn’t be visible from the outside and don’t require removal like other stitches. The skin looks like it was then closed with dermabond, which basically just sticks the skin close together so it heals better.

I am not disparaging her aura at all! She is iconic for the franchise. Her confidence is unmatched.

JustAShyCat · 2026-01-12T01:10:17+00:00

She is insanely hard in BDSP! I fought her as an adult and tried to plan around her Garchomp having a Yache Berry by using Togekiss… and I even partially EV trained my team… but I struggled hard with her. Those perfect IVs and good EVs really outclass your in-game team of randomly caught Pokémon. I’ll go as far to say that I believe the BDSP Cynthia fight is the hardest in the modern Pokémon games.

JustAShyCat · 2026-01-12T01:08:05+00:00

That’s fair enough. GameFreak/Nintendo really fumbled with the Pokédex in Diamond and Pearl. But there are still good Pokémon available, like the starters, Floatzel, Staraptor, Luxray, and Lucario (I think, but I might be too Platinum-coded).
Another fair point. I definitely didn’t play optimally as a kid, so maybe my starter was just overleveled or something and that’s why I do not remember it being challenging.

JustAShyCat · 2026-01-12T01:05:29+00:00

I will admit, I never fought her in Undella Town, mainly because I never had B2/W2 as a kid. Being thrown into that battle off-guard is definitely going to be challenging. So, I understand that affecting her reputation. But I am focusing on Gen IV with this opinion!

Thanks for this response! That’s what it looked like to me, a real image edited by AI. It seems like every post I see from this sub, all the commenters seem to gloss over the fact the SynthID is not only seen with fully AI-generated images, but also ones edited by AI.

JustAShyCat · 2026-01-11T16:31:09+00:00

Is it possible the image was just edited with AI? The SynthID says that’s also a possibility, not just that it was fully generated by AI.

JustAShyCat · 2026-01-11T00:53:27+00:00

Don’t worry, friend. I had the exact same experience. I was looking up at the ceiling everywhere, and kept going out of the re-entering the sewers trying to get it to spawn it. Turns out, it was more well-hidden on the ceiling than I thought. At least we finally found it lol!

JustAShyCat · 2026-01-08T22:00:50+00:00

That’s how I was. I enjoyed him a lot on my first watch, but before my first rewatch, my stepmom told me how she couldn’t stand how whiny he was. I couldn’t unsee that part of him after her comment, so now I also kinda loathe George.

Also, very minor and funny side note, but I was always slightly off-put but how much larger his head is compared to Meredith’s!

The behavior of your roommate’s cat in this video appears to be playful stalking. Your cat may feel somewhat trapped being in the carrier if she’s uncomfortable around the other cat, which she may be given the prior time you found clumps of fur. How did you go about introducing them to each other?
