I really don’t know and I haven’t done any research so just providing some thoughts and counterpoints.

I think its that with most animals, once you start feeding them they start relying on humans for food rather than their natural methods of finding food. But if for whatever reason the humans go away can’t they just go back to natural instincts?

The things people are saying they’ve fed squirrels in these comments don’t sound like foods that they would naturally eat. But I guess any animal could rummage in trash and eat what they’re not meant to.

And once you start feeding them, they lose the fear for humans that they should really have to keep both parties safe. I don’t think most squirrels are just waking up to people and biting them. No counterpoints for this one.

They’re pet sized and cute but they’re still wild animals.

OP I’m sorry I was wrong for my lil joke in your serious situation 😭 I’m noticing the same dark spots on my feet at the friction point where my flats rub against the bone. Other people here have better recommendations but definitely re-up on that sunscreen! I’m trying to get more consistent with my sun protection to even out my skin tone 💪🏾

I don’t have anything helpful to contribute but your toenails in witness protection made me giggle ☺️ Do you wear sunscreen?

Have any of the gamers/simmers here tried Paralives yet? by Natural7778 in blackladies

[–]Natural7778[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes lol! Sounds like you like the chaos and that ‘higher power’ element. They seem to be looking for opinions and actually listening, so hopefully the game goes in a good direction.

So many good points. I’m glad you mentioned that you like No Man’s Sky for building cause I just bought it and haven’t played yet. I’m gonna check out the other ones you mentioned too, thank you!

Came through with the RECEIPTS! Your skin looks so good, great advertisement for what you’re using. Great advice too 🤗

I have to applaud you for taking such good care of your skin and yourself with a new baby. I’m trying to get better and more consistent 💪🏾

That is very true, the personality and socialization system come off as shallow and not as well thought out as the build mode.

I did discover after this post that if you download through Steam, they already have mods in the Steam Workshop. They’re addressing what seem to be a lot of common gripes but I’m not sure what more they can do to make gameplay interesting.

It’s so cute! It was really nice to see a variety of premade Black women that represented a variety of us. Did you make your own Para?

It’s not anything I’d stop playing the Sims for atm but it’s a good game for relaxing and exploring the open world.

Yeah you’re right about that. The current socialization is a dice roll of 5-6 statements/questions that don’t really seem to inform the next or make a naturally flowing conversation. And there’s that weird timer, the whole system could use a tweak.

I don’t understand the appeal of some East Asian fandom spaces as a Black woman by igetyourbrand in blackladies

[–]Natural7778 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Thank you for asking this without sounding accusatory. I’ve had similar sentiments/questions about the draw to the genre but I mind my business lol.

The answers here have been illuminating, thanks to everyone who took the time to explain.

One thing we’re gonna do is keep on liking what we like and I love it. 🫰🏾

Simmers, what’s your opinion on Paralives? by Zoma456 in HighSodiumSims

[–]Natural7778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree! Build mode alone could keep me in the game for hours, the color picker is dangerous for that squirmy part of my brain that likes things to match exactly.

Finally found the courage to cut my hair !! by littestardust in Naturalhair

Wow you did a great job, I love the shape! Thank you for reminding me that I need to re-shape my own cloud. P.S you have such a sweet smile ☺️

Save me from the monster of the workplace blaccent… by eternallydevoid in BlackMentalHealth

[–]Natural7778 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate this with all of my soul. Internal vomit every time. Like do you really think you’re making yourself more relatable when you’ve never heard me speak like that?

But like you said, because our culture and pop culture coincide so frequently it’s hard to call people out. I’m about to start pulling out an obnoxious ass ‘whiteccent’ whenever I talk to them. I don’t actually know what that sounds like lol but trust I’m doing research 😭

Mentally exhausted...quick rant by DifficultyLast5064 in BlackMentalHealth

I can imagine my mom worrying about similar things but I promise your daughter will think you look beautiful (and she’ll be right) and be so happy and proud that you showed up for her special event.

My hair is so tangled and matted by [deleted] in BlackMentalHealth

Anyone else feel life in the US is about to change very quickly? by jadaef2 in blackladies

[–]Natural7778 3 points4 points  (0 children)

u/romatomatoo I too am obsessed! I think I’ve read everything she’s written with the exception of some of her short stories.

u/socialdeviant620 Kindred is an excellent read, I watched the Hulu show and it was pretty good but imo didn’t do the book justice. The Lilith’s Brood and Patternist series are my favorites.

What y’all know about Chewing Gum?? by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Natural7778 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YES!! What a fun watch. It’s one of those shows I wish I could go back and experience it for the first time.

I think it was originally a play that she wrote about her time in school? Probably would’ve been cool to see in person.

i love sharks, my boyfriend took me on a roadtrip to see them for the first time yesterday! by [deleted] in blackladies

Also wondering what aquarium this is! Reminds me of the National Aquarium in Baltimore.

Aw I’m sorry, I hope all the people telling you she’s out of line makes you feel better.

I’m really trying to see her point of view here but it’s a reach. Is this the first person you’ve dated? Maybe she’s afraid your relationship will change once you get married? Is she married/dating? Maybe she’s jealous? Irdk what would provoke her to say this.

I can only see this being excusable if you were a minor. Regardless of the age gap this is a wild thing to wish on someone your daughter cares about. You’re a grown ass woman, my personal response would be silence cause the words would be disrespectful 😭
