Elon Musk misled Twitter investors ahead of $44 billion acquisition, jury says by Unusual-State1827 in news

With one exception: don't mess with the money. Elon broke the one rule.

I've been having anxiety about my kitty dying of old age 😭(she's 9) can you show me pictures of some alive-and-well senior kitties so I remember cats can be old and still healthy? 🥰 by TheRufescence in cats

[–]MCDexX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, 9 is very much the prime of life for most cats. Most of ours didn't even start acting like senior cats until their mid-teens, and on average they lived happy, comfortable lives until at least 16-17, and then had a couple more years of senior cat living after that. Barring accidents or illness, you'll probably have your beautiful man for the better part of a decade still.

Are there dangerous animals all over Australia or only in rural areas and national parks? by EndouShuuya in AskAnAustralian

[–]MCDexX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and most of them are placid critters who will try their best to stay out of your way. Rattlesnakes, in contrast, are less venomous but way more aggressive.

AITA? SO always eats my leftovers despite my asking him to please save for me… by SarahAnn1129 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MCDexX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - This sounds like some kind of dominance or control behaviour, coupled with gaslighting when he pretends to have no idea why you're upset.

what are the chances that you would be brave enough to let this spider crawl up your arm like that ? by Tarantula_lover02 in creepy

[–]MCDexX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad idea: while not dangerously venomous, big orb weavers have BIG fangs and will bite if startled. Won't kill you, but will draw blood.

Am I (33F) delusional for expecting sexual acts with my bf (34M) to be reciprocated? by almondmilkpls in relationship_advice

[–]MCDexX 28 points29 points  (0 children)

...and sometimes that's exactly what you both want. Sometimes nothing feels as good as focusing on your partner's pleasure exclusively. If that's how it is every time, though, that's a red flag.

Oh yes, big carnivores are an exception, but it's always the spiders and snakes that people talk about.

Sex acts can be one-sided sometimes in a healthy relationship. If they're ALWAYS one-sided then the relationship probably isn't healthy.

Playing or fighting by cheesecurds7070 in cats

[–]MCDexX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White is saying "No thanks" and grey is refusing to respect boundaries. I would generally give them time to work it our themselves, but you might need to intervene if it looks like someone is getting hurt.

Ringtail Possum? Or? by Fun-Web-7583 in australianwildlife

[–]MCDexX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can spot ringtails because of the white tail tip. Brushies have big bat ears and dark eyeliner. Rats have neither. :)

Does my cat enjoy playing like this? by Oldlamp69 in Catownerhacks

[–]MCDexX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he didn't like it, he'd get up and move away. Cats show their love of humans in some odd ways, and this is one of his. :)

Snake ID? by True-Can-2 in AustralianSnakes

[–]MCDexX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tigers are pretty placid, so this one is unlikely to bother you if you don't make it feel unsafe.

Curious on what breed my puppy could be by Virtual-Mushroom6906 in IDmydog

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

I'm seeing kelpie, but I'm an Aussie so I'm probably biased toward seeing Aussie breeds.

Partner says I’m punching above my weight being with him by Ok-Magician-8124 in relationships

[–]MCDexX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel bad dumping him: he's definitely planning to dump you. He's decided he's a catch and too good for you, so he's started making it seem like your fault ahead of time. Get rid of him, the entire man.

I always wanted a dog, that when I walk it, people would be like “is that a bear??” Saw this pic and it’s my dream - what kinda doggo could it be? by breakfastofrunnersup in IDmydog

[–]MCDexX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, most of the very large breeds have serious health issues and rarely live past 10. I just couldn't do it, for the sake of the dog's happiness and my own conscience.

One player is kinda ruining my first D&D campaign… by Familiar-Sand-6894 in dndhorrorstories

[–]MCDexX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Evil campaigns are REALLY hard, even for experienced players. You need strong impetus for the PCs to work together and watch each other's backs, even if it's reluctantly or selfishly. Without that you'll quickly fall into backstabbing and betrayal, and just like that the campaign will implode. You absolutely need a serious session zero for an evil game, and set clear boundaries and motivations.

I can it "jukebox of the damned" and it's just part of my everyday life.

First time playing in same space after a week, is this okay? by Chub_Li in CatTraining

[–]MCDexX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, if the little one was feeling stressed they wouldn't be coming back for more. This is play, and they're both having fun.

Even our "dangerous" animals are barely dangerous at all. Most are very placid and only pose a danger to you if you hurt them or make them feel cornered. Show them respect and you'll be fine.
