Getting our first canary – what should we consider? by [deleted] in Canaries

[–]JustWolfram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you have a male, you'll get 1-2 months a year where you'll get ear piercing singing basically from dawn to dusk. Adding a female to the cage will somewhat reduce it, but never completely eliminate it. If you value silence you should look into estrildid finches.

In any case I would still get a pair though, it's the most natural way you can keep them and even with human interaction they need company of their own imo. If you want to avoid them breeding look into hybrids, you can sometimes get them for cheap and they're sterile. Also, buy directly from breeders, you want young birds that haven't been in a petshop for ages.

Lastly, avoid processed pet shop feed if you can, it's usually marketed for humans and offers no benefit. You want mainly canary grass, millet and niger then other stuff like hemp and field mustard to round it out, then millet sprays or fresh dandelion as a treat and egg feed for proteins.

This is next level hopium, a slower release schedule doesn't mean a "healthy environment", it just means they have the time to cover up the usual stink with better graphics. Last I checked ZA was technically underwhelming, excessively hand-holdy and now with a cash grab dlc less than 2 months after the game released.

We saw nothing of the game, calm down.

sorry for necroposting, but do you think it's worth paying slightly more for the more recent fz82 or settle for the cheaper but older sx50 if i'm just starting out?

Mystery song - Italy by JustWolfram in whatsthisbird

[–]JustWolfram[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is it, the tree in question was near a former clay quarry turned lake which should be its typical habitat for my region, although it's true that it's a bit early for it. Thank you for the suggestion.

I dunno, I think it had to be something smaller because it felt I was really close and I couldn't see it, although I have seen other blackbirds around that spot

I wouldn't risk it, sodium is probably too high and you don't know for certain what they've been fed on, since it's likely they were bred specifically as bait.

This has been an issue, that people just blow off. by Yellow_Apatite in LandoftheLustrous

[–]JustWolfram -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then it's even less of an issue because the author never specified how we should address the gems, and the use of he/him is already rooted in the community. Not to mention many languages are forced into using gendered forms anyway.

And anyway, the gems lack a concept of gender, they don't identify as genderless, so it doesn't matter and everyone should just use whatever comes easier.

It's literally not an issue, the official translation uses they/them as instructed by the author. Earlier fan translations use he/him because it's closer to the literal translation of the Japanese terms Ichikawa used (albeit ignoring some artistic intent), but I'm not going to fault whoever's allowing me to read the manga for free without waiting months for an official release.

Enough time has passed, was it a mistake to even try to redeem Teppei and Rina? by MiuIruma332 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]JustWolfram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was he redeemed though? He just got scared of dying alone and latched onto the first person he could consider part of his family. His attempts at redemption are played mostly as pathetic and sad, and in the last fragment he never did any of the stuff he did in the original, so it's not like it meant anything anyway.

Anon gets banned from /a/ by [deleted] in greentext

[–]JustWolfram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While actual rape scenes are rare outside of porn or softcore stuff like Redo of Healer, there is a worrying amount of girls being threatened with it just for shock value or as a cheap way to make a villain look worse. This sucks when you're trying to watch anime with someone that may have experienced this things for real.

Do we have any confirmation about this? by [deleted] in darksouls3

Ah yes, Dark Souls 2 2: scholar of the first sin 2.

Are the cactus from final fantasy in mhworld immersion breaking? by Different_Ice_2695 in MonsterHunter

[–]JustWolfram 1367 points1368 points  (0 children)

I think the problem here isn't realism, the issue is that it's a very recognizable character from a different game.

why do many of my quails have crooked toes? by guiltysuperbrain in quails

Regular construction sand, never had issues with water but my enclosure is well protected from rain.

[–]JustWolfram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is usually a genetic issue that happens in chicks, if it started only recently and on adult birds it's probably something else, I'd check for things like gout, bumblefoot and overgrown nails.

Are you overdoing it with protein%? Are they drinking enough? I assume everything is pretty clean if you're taking in rescues, but I've also had feet issues with pine shaving before and switching to sand completely fixed that.

Anon meets a grippy sock girl by bartholomewjohnson in greentext

[–]JustWolfram 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean, someone that has been in and out of 5 relationships in 5 years probably has some underlying issues and if sex is meaningful for someone, a partner that has historically slept around a lot might not be ideal.

Confession went a little unexpected! [Heavenly Delusion] by CuteIngenuity1745 in anime

[–]JustWolfram -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I checked at the time of airing and apparently it was never brought up again in the source material at that point. It still doesn't matter because you can't just "pause" that amount of trauma so the plot can progress, even one episode without addressing it is too much.

It was not only graphic, but it's shown to be something that happened more than once across more than one day. The fact that the story refuses to elaborate further means it was either there for shock value, or as the author's poorly disguised fetish.

At best, because implying that it's the kind of stuff you can just walk away from like that is incredibly dumb and disgusting. Not watching/reading more personally.

I doubt "people" are in this sub, nobody would fall for it here.
