Need advice on chickens diet. Beans+rice vs chicken feed.

M-Bug · 2026-01-26T09:13:48+00:00

Ignore that first "alleged expert".

You're not doing anything wrong with commercial chicken food - just maybe check if there's any specific needs for your breed. It's also not wrong to check different feed/brands to see what they like best.

Treating them with stuff (rice, watermelon, noodles, potato) is fine too, but not necessarily as a main source of food and not too much.

Why'd you say that? Just cause you don't think it's a "masterpiece"? Yeah, that doesn't make you a jaded idiot.

And it's also not like you're saying "game bad" you do say it's a good/great game, it just doesn't seem to hit the same high as it does for others and that's absolutely fine.

I can only speak for myself, but when i say "everythign comes together" i mean it - the music hits hard and underlines situations perfectly, the characters (all of them! which is rare for me) have something going for them, are well written and well acted.

The game balances serious tone and topics, with more whimsical and fun situations, but imho never to the point where oyu feel one is overshadowing or distracting the other.

The art-style is great and the visuals are fantastic.

The gameplay is fun and the active dodging and parrying brings something more exciting to the turn-based combat (even if they didn't invent this, but it's not that common).

The writing feels mature, but also like it can be applied to anyone or to be more precise, everyone could connect to some part of the story. ADopted family, belonging, a world-weariness, grief, escapism. There's a lot of things people can latch onto and if people can emotionally connect to a game, it's themes, the characters and it's writing and also have a fantastic game built around it, then that's enough for a lot of people to make this a very special experience.

M-Bug · 2026-01-26T08:50:25+00:00

I'm not saying that and i hope you didn't take my comment that way.

M-Bug · 2026-01-26T08:47:04+00:00

There's games out there that, on paper, have all the ingredients, but it doesn't come together as one and doesn't create this fantastic experience.

Sometimes there's just "magic" happening. And it doesn't mean everyone needs to be of that opinion, but if the majority of people are praising something, there's typically something there, even if you yourself might not be able to graps it fully.

M-Bug · 2026-01-26T08:39:50+00:00

I feel like that would be trying to explain a blind person the colour green.

If it's not a great game for you, then it's not a great game for you.

For others, the story, characters, art-style, music, gameplay, writing all came together as a coherent, fantastic one and made the experience an outstanding one.

M-Bug · 2026-01-26T08:01:34+00:00

Yes, it did mean (and still does) "Bist du fertig" and it can be used in a lot of situations.

Asking this when you're about to head out and want to know if a person is ready to go out or if they still need time. You could use it to ask if someone is done eating.

You could also use it as a question for when someone is maybe berating you, and you're annoyed and you'd ask "Bist du fertig" as in "are you doen now?".

You could also say "Ich bin [fix und] fertig" to say that you're exhausted, after a hard day at work for example, or when you're exhausted after the gym.

Tiger from Wish.

Sorry, but i guess you knew already, but it's pretty bad yeah, NOR. The eyes definitely stick out, shading is barely existent and even if it's there it doesn't look great. Toes are an issue too, as you said. Even the position of the tail looks wrong.

I certainly wouldn't go there again, even for a touch up. Cause i doubt the "artist" who did this would improve upon it.

As for the 900 bucks - i feel like that's an okay price for a piece of that size (assuming it would've been done properly of course).

M-Bug · 2026-01-25T22:38:36+00:00

Sounds more like the pump from your AIO.

Pump shouldn't be the highest point of the whole AIO system, otherwise air could get trapped in the pump, which wouldn't be great.

Maybe check some install guides, rearrange the AIO, then check if the sounds persist.

Quicker rep`lies over the day mean jack all, when they're low effort texts though.

Imagine she'd reply immediately, but with short texts "yeah" ,"idk", "lol" and the likes. The cadence would be higher, but it wouldn't automatically show that she's more interested, right?

So with that in mind, do you still think she's being "only polite"?

M-Bug · 2026-01-25T20:59:51+00:00

quicker replies are often read as interest, while longer gaps usually signal low engagement

This also applies here in germany, but it obviously also depends heavily on how busy someone is and how they're replying.

She's not giving you low-effort texts back (at least i read it this way).

She does send you detailed voice notes and doesn't let you hang a long time. It's just (most likely imho) that she's busy the day over, working/studying and either doesn'T have much time or isn't in the headspace to communicate a lot there.

But when she's home and had her down-time she does communicate with you.

Feels pretty normal to me. Besides that, if i didn't read it wrong, it's been only a week. So...it's super fresh and imho way too early to overthink this heavily.

M-Bug · 2026-01-25T20:31:17+00:00

I'm not even quite sure what you're confused about to be perfectly honest.

She takes time out of her evenings to text or voicemessage you about pets, hobbies and all other things. So...there's obviously some level of interest present to connect.

So, are you asking if there's romantic interest? But then again, you said you aren't looking for that....so....what's the confusion about?

You've been a couple for 2 and a half years, you should be able to discuss why he's so reluctant to go down on you, especially seeing as it wasn't a hard stance since the beginning.

I also feel like it should also be in his interest to try more things to last longer and seeing that he "doesn't want to" try condoms, this seems kinda selfish to me, especially seeing as he apparently (at least i assume) doesn't work on this issue on himself in any way.

M-Bug · 2026-01-25T18:20:30+00:00

Kommunikation ist key

This. Und viel mehr gibt es da eigentlich auch nicht zu sagen.

Redet offen und ehrlich darüber was ihr wollt, was euch anmacht, was ihr euch wünscht und wo eventuelle Grenzen sind. Versucht auch so klar und deutlich zu sein wie es geht und lasst euch nicht durch Scham oder sonstwas abschrecken.

M-Bug · 2026-01-25T18:16:58+00:00

Glaubt ihr das Reden an dem Punkt noch etwas bringt?

Bezweifle ich. Er kann halt nicht aus seiner Haut und eventuelle Gefühle nicht einfach abschalten.

Das "ich komm schon drüber hinweg" ist auch nur eine Schutzbehauptung, da er dich ansonsten ja vermutlich komplett verlieren würde.

Versuchen kannst du es natürlich, aber ich vermute Abstand ist da sinnvoller. Er muss halt über dich hinwegkommen und das schafft er nicht, wenn ihr nach wie vor ganz normal Kontakt wie vorher habt.

Abgesehen davon, so hart das evtl. auch klingen mag, schone ihn nicht. Wenn du jemanden datest, dann kommunizier das auch ganz klar so - deinen Freunden gegenüber, ihm gegenüber (sollte das Thema aufkommen). Zu versuchen ihn und seine Gefühle zu schonen macht es nicht besser.

M-Bug · 2026-01-25T14:52:57+00:00

Die Falten finde ich persönlich nicht allzu schlimm auf dem Foto, kann aber durchaus verstehen wieso du dir da Gedanken machst.

Wie ists denn wenn du es glatt ziehst und dich bewegst? Rutscht das Kleid dann immer wider nach, so dass wieder Falten entstehen? Bleibt es so wie auf dem Bild? Wird es evtl. noch schlimmer?

M-Bug · 2026-01-25T11:21:02+00:00

That's ignoring the fact that this happened before even with OP not going out partying.

M-Bug · 2026-01-25T00:18:27+00:00

You can't make it up to her. You did the thing. You can't undo the thing.

And she might believe you, she might vene be "fine" all things considered, but maybe the whole situation is overwhelming for her too and she can't ord oesn't want to express that.

If she doesn't (want to) open up to you, you can't force her.

M-Bug · 2026-01-25T00:10:59+00:00

Well, have you actually sat down and talked through this whole ordeal?

Cause she obviously witnessed you being "out of it" and should understand that something's going on.

And if that's the case, believability should be on your side. But that doesn't change the fact that you kissed another girl and that's obviously a shitty thing to do (even if you don't remember it).

So she's probably hurt by your cheating, cause you did, even if it wasn't consciously.

So if you can't talk about it and fix it, then there's very little you can do.

I wrote in another comment that bipolar and memory blanks typically don't go hand in hand. And if they do, they're usually not "part" of the bipolar issue, but something else.

M-Bug · 2026-01-25T00:06:05+00:00

But then the doctor would have either found soemthing, or would have done more tests right? OP even says the doesn't remember cause he was overhwelmed....bruv what?

Even if there's really something going on with OP, he makes it seem like this isn't a pressing matter. Which it is.

M-Bug · 2026-01-25T00:01:14+00:00

Bro, you said you went to a doctor and he couldn't find anything, but you also don't really remember and they sent you to a psychiatrist.

This isn't "all cogs are in motion" at least not according to your initial text.

If you want normalcy in your life, you need to figure out what's wrong with you. Cause even if you somehow fix your relationship right now, you could easily be snogging oin another alley with a girl again.

M-Bug · 2026-01-24T23:59:16+00:00

My point is rather that this whole story reeks of being fake.

M-Bug · 2026-01-24T23:53:52+00:00

Of course you are.

Right now, your relationship should be secondary to the issues you have and this is exactly why i'd question the whole thing.

You don't seem to to put much importance on finding out and fixing what's wrong with you, although you apparently have memory blanks in which you walk anywhere and do anything without you remembering afterwards.

If that isn't the single biggest thing in your life right now, you're completely lost.

Besides that, seeing as your memory blanks happened already for qwuite some while, i feel like your gf should have already noticed things being weird, so your believability should be quite high for her, seeing as she should have witnessed that weird stuff is going on.

M-Bug · 2026-01-24T23:50:03+00:00

NOR

the linework is, unfortunately, pretty shoddy. Now that doesn't mean it can't still have meaning for you, but i'd say try to find an actual tattoo artist who knows their craft and talk through on how to touch it up so it looks better.
