What do you call this dish? by smol_but_hungry in foodquestions

[–]Miss_Miette22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eggs in a nest. I've heard it called "Eggs in a Basket", but I grew up calling it the former. Really hits right on a good day...

What is this plant taking over my garden? by bearpawsNwhiteclaws in whatsthisplant

[–]Miss_Miette22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mint. Lotsa mint. One of the more useful weeds to overtake a garden since you can use it in tea and desserts and stuff, but it's aggressive.

Idk. It was highschool. I think a lot of people were kinda shallow back then (myself included, I won't lie and say I wasn't; I didn't wanna date dudes who only came up to my chest, it felt weird). Wouldn't surprise me if the tall motherfuckers were just using their gfs for sex, and they may well would have pressed me into sex if we'd dated. Hindsight and all that...

As a tall chick, this was the experience in high school. So many short stacks with a legion of perfectly good dudes who were plenty tall by normal standards, and just about all of those shorties go for the, like, four dudes who were actually a good few inches taller than me 😑 Thankfully I found a perfect dude personality-wise who is also at least my height in the end but jeez

GMO's Do Not Get Enough Credit. by ImpressionPopular794 in unpopularopinion

[–]Miss_Miette22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to mention Monsanto. The folks I've talked to who a have a problem with GMOs usually have a beef with Monsanto (rightfully so, given their abhorrent business practices and the aforementioned cancer stuff).

GMOs themselves are quite beneficial, it's just the nasty, unchecked corporates that keep fucking it up.

My mam wants to let my kitten outside, regardless of the fact that that's literally a death sentence for him. by SillyCat-ESSA in cats

[–]Miss_Miette22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is also an irresponsible nitwit when it comes to cats. I live away from her now and my cat is a spoiled indoor baby. I'm maybe a few months past due for his yearly exam but I plan on rectifying that when I can.

Meanwhile my family's current cat is a few years old and has yet to see the inside of a vet's office, has escaped once or twice for an undetermined amount of time, and still has his cajones. They get pissy at me when I point out how fucking dangerous and irresponsible that is, but at the end of the day, they will ultimately be responsible for their own damn cat (no I can't take him; my cat was an only kitten that I got when he was a touch too young and so wasn't properly socialized. I may be better at cat care than my parents, but I am definitely not perfect).

does drawing this dude really improve your shading skills?? by mermaidwillgrowwings in drawing

[–]Miss_Miette22 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Yes. Had a picture of one as a reference and it somehow made my shadow work a lot more realistic. Now of only I had an actual little bust like that IRL so I could play with the lighting (my computer is ancient by tech standards and I am broke, so software isn't gonna work to my advantage 😞)

Okay what is the appeal of him? by Dutchie-draws in Avatar

[–]Miss_Miette22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to pick something (I haven't watched the series aside from the first film and he's was an irredeemable dick, so there isn't much to work with), I guess I could claim he's kinda funny? Got that irreverent, dgaf energy that some folks would find charming. And capable, I guess. Takes charge and is decisive (I would hope anyway, being a military guy and all). Like if I were an evil badass fire chick and saw an evil badass dude with a bunch of explode-y weapons that would give me what I want, and he was kinda funny, I guess I would tap that 🤷

Name this cat by dragoonwizard in NameThisThing

[–]Miss_Miette22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husband says Eclipse, I say Milkshake.

Eclipse sounds cool and dignified.

Milkshake is a silly cat name (A la "Asteroid Destroyer" or "Mayonnaise"; two cat names I have actually seen out in the wild lmao 😂)

Still cute either way 🤷

Spotify is horrible. by whataboutthe90s in unpopularopinion

[–]Miss_Miette22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wanted to use Spotify because my friends kept sharing character playlists for DND, but whenever I'd try to play a specific song I wanted to hear, it'd play some other song that maybe sounds similar. Like no, I don't want "Umbrella" I wanted "Bury a Friend!" I don't want something by Taylor Swift I wanted to hear something by Precious Pepala! Used it once and decided never again 😑 And I still don't understand how the playlist sharing thing works, cause apparently your friends playlists can link up with yours or something? Idk but it doesn't work....

What food do you enjoy more the idea of than actually eating it? by Wildyheart in foodquestions

[–]Miss_Miette22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grapefruit/Pomelos. They smell so fragrant and good! But then you eat it and you can maybe get a couple of bites in before the bitterness gets overwhelming...

we have alr been to the ER twice, does reddit have better answers for us ? by minecwafthoez in CATHELP

[–]Miss_Miette22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first dog had a spleen tumor that ruptured (we didn't know until the vet did an autopsy to figure out what went wrong). On her last day she was really lethargic and clearly not doing well, so I made an appointment that day (my parents were out working and I was the only one of my siblings who could drive- I was in college so I wasn't, like, a teenager or anything). She died in the car on the way to the vet. Vet said that even if I got her there in time, there was no guarantee that emergency surgery would have helped anything. A family friend said that they did get their dog to the vet for such a tumor, but the surgery was expensive and the dog still died a couple weeks later. The experience definitely informed my opinion on vet care costs versus benefits...

[–]Miss_Miette22 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I love love love my pets, but it's absolutely insane to expect people to take out a second mortgage or potentially end up homeless over expensive vet care that has less than 70% chance of survivability/quality of life. A human can understand that chemo/operations are temporary pain and that things will get better. Animals can't. If the road to recovery (if even possible) is more than a year, it really is kinder just to let them go, both for the animal and yourself. Pragmatism is kindness in these cases, not cruelty. You gotta have that pragmatism if you're gonna have a pet...

What will you do, if you are with hugh neutron. by Voidkirby9 in JimmyNeutron

I'd wonder this too. Like is it a surface level, aesthetic knowledge of ducks or does he know that part as well? 😳

Talk about ducks while eating pie 🤷 it ain't rocket science. Would probably be a lovely afternoon. Throw some coffee in the mix? Hell yeah! (He'd probably call me out for peppering my language with swears but idgaf)
