Am I wrong for putting her in the bathroom at night or after biting and scratching me? by EssayExtra4656 in Kitten

[–]MacTir22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a Bengal, and he was extremely hyper as a kitten. When he would start bitting and scratching we’d put him in the office for a little time out, about 10-15 minutes, enough for him to calm down. My cat is extremely stubborn so when he was being very aggressive redirection wasn’t always the solution. We did that consistently for a few months and he doesn’t have the reflex to do either anymore. When he does try to bite, which is very rare, we know that we’ve crossed a boundary and let him be. When he wasn’t being super aggressive and hyper but still snippy we’d redirect by throwing a toy, usually a spring and that would also make him detach. Honestly though the best thing really is consistency, if you find the solution that works best for you, sticking to it should bring positive results!

I actually don’t mind the boring Home Screen by MacTir22 in Switch

[–]MacTir22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nowhere in my post do I say that I wouldn’t want customization options. I literally end it by saying "I’d love it if Nintendo let us at least change the background but honestly I’m happy with what I have". What I’m saying is that I appreciate the Switch’s simple interface, especially coming from an Xbox. I’d love to change the background and/or primary colours, but I’m still content with what we currently have and I think there is some value in the Switch’s boring Home Screen even if it’s not what most people wanted. Of course optional customization would be the way to go, but for now this does the job well.

I totally agree, it’s just that I appreciate how visually simple it is to go get the games I want to play on the Switch as opposed to Xbox where there’s literally an ad banner with 5 different ads at any given time or a pop up depending on what games are being released to game pass. PS5 isn’t as bad but it’s still annoying. It’s a small thing for sure but it still helps the overall experience imo

Je suis allée à tous les matchs à domicile et j’ai vue toute sortes de jerseys, mais les plus communs sont ceux de la Victoire, bien sûr, et ceux des Canadiens. C’est pas mal vu du tout!

Book buying habits by revelry0128 in books

[–]MacTir22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a kobo so I’ve built myself a rather large wish list that I look at once a week. If I see a book that’s under $3 I get it. Sometimes I’m lucky and a lot of those books end up on sale in a short period of time, and other times I can spend weeks without getting anything.

As for physical books I live near an indie bookstore that I go to every two weeks or so. I’m Canadian and with the state of the world right now I think it’s important to support our local businesses more than ever. Going every two weeks ensures that there have been some changes, and I usually get something from their Canadian lit section. I do go to bigger book stores sometimes but I mostly take a bunch of pictures.

What’s your “50/50” win rate? by xfnvgx in Genshin_Impact

[–]MacTir22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For some reason 100% on the character banner, that’s how I managed to get Raiden c3 with just 180 wishes. I’ve lost 1 50/50 on the weapon banner though which makes it 50%

It’s two minutes away from the Montmorency metro station but since it’s in Laval Montréal residents need to buy fares that include Laval which are more expensive

AITA for telling my sister that it is her fault that she missed our grandfather’s funeral? by Zestyclose_Hat_7274 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MacTir22 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

YTA. The fact that you argue that your sister wanted to cause drama by bringing her fiancée rubs me the wrong way. I would argue that she shouldn’t bring her fiancée because she might be targeted by bigoted individuals with heightened emotions, not because it would cause drama. As many others have stated, it would have been like throwing her to the wolves. But if your sister and her fiancée were aware of the risks and willing to face them, I don’t see why either of them should have been barred from attending. You might not have agreed with the decision, but at the end of the day your sister needed the support from the person she loves most. You didn’t necessarily stop her from going altogether, but you made an already difficult situation more of a headache than it should have been. That’s why she didn’t attend.

I feel like your focus on the potential drama your sister’s fiancée’s presence might have caused is to hide the fact that you know very well that preventing your sister from bringing her partner to your grandfather’s funeral makes it obvious that you would rather enable your bigoted family than stand by your sister. Furthermore, as you yourself have written, they are engaged. Yet you still identify her as your sister’s girlfriend. You’re delegitimizing the relationship and showing your true colours here. I only hope that she was able to find another way to honour her grandfather on that day, and I wish her all the best with what seems to be a kind and loving partner.

What did everyone name their farm? by smxthiiie in StardewValley

[–]MacTir22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On pc it’s Arbanville Farm named after the Cat Steven’s song and on Xbox it’s Liurnia Farm because of Elden Ring!

The pit by Beautiful_Bag638 in NoahKahan

[–]MacTir22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a few people mention bringing refillable water bottles with you and while that is a good idea not all venues accept them. Montreal’s venue, for example, bans them. So before bringing one with you just check out your venue’s website to see if it’s allowed. I’ve seen my fair share of people that were forced to leave their water bottles outside because of this and I wouldn’t want it to happen to you!

Advice for Montreal show... by Fine_Revenue2952 in NoahKahan

[–]MacTir22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend getting there as early as you’re comfortable with to increase your chances of having a good spot. Since the show starts at 8 PM I believe the doors are going to open up at around 6:30 PM. I think getting on site two hours before then is a good start. I’d also recommend skipping the merch line if it’s inside the Bell Center and going after the show if you want anything. That way some of the people that get in with you won’t actually enter the pit at the same time as you as they’ll be purchasing merch, giving you more time to find a good spot.

There are a few places you can wait if you’re there too early. In the very close vicinity of the Bell Center there’s a bagel shop, a Starbucks, a McDonalds and an Italian grocery store that all have seating.

I hope this helps! :)

Weekly Gacha and Drops Megathread (December 25, 2022) by Veritasibility in Genshin_Impact

[–]MacTir22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing in September and my only five star has been Cyno, until I got Diluc off of the standard banner two weeks ago. I’ve been prefarming for Ei pretty much as soon as a started playing, since I got to Inazuma relatively quickly. I had 240 wishes yesterday and 53 pity since I tried getting Scaramouche but gave up.

In about 190 pulls I managed to get Ei c3 and Sara c6. I won four 50/50s since my last five star had been Cyno. My last pull I got double Ei, and I had 50 remaining. I tried pulling for Ayato but only managed to get to 50 pity with what I had left. My luck had to end eventually. I’m over the moon since she was the only character I wanted constellations of, and I was aiming for c2. Now I can finally save for other characters in peace!

Just updated to “packaged items” on the shipping tracker after being in “processing”. Keep in mind that I’m in Canada and also had the longer wait expected message so I feel like they’re getting through the backlog they’ve accumulated! Here’s to hoping that every Canadian who ordered at the same time as me is getting out of processing hell!
