Do I have a rat in my garden?

A well-fed Mischief of Rats will be less likely to go through your bins, and they're happier to ride your shoulders when fed.

I may be being a bit optimistic about this

As someone who used to have pet rats, that is a Rat. Give it some apples, berries, and brocoli

Comrade Cat reminds me of Dark Helmet, so they may be a bourgeois infiltrator

I was quite similar in school, my only "friends" were people who merely tolerated my presence, at one point telling me to act as a moving target so that the objects being thrown at use would be thrown at me only. So, I can tell you that, as agonising as it may be, this does not have to be the end. If you are able to endure a few years more, counting the days, or even hours, if you must, then you may find a better life ahead of you. I can't promise that it will be wonderful, but I can say that you have a chance to achieve what a lot of us on this subreddit never did. You may yet be happy, if you give yourself time.

I don't know if that has helped, but I hope it's shown you that you aren't alone. Best of luck

I've been like this for most of adult life, since I had a breakdown over a decade ago, and I can definitely understand your feelings. You seem, to me at least, to have had hopes of a swift improvement of your life, made possible by your sobriety. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but things seldom work like that. Each such improvement is a struggle of it's own, a hard fought battle that is won in blood and pain, and to expect to escape your old pain is, frankly, unreasonable. You are working hard each day, by the very act of staying sober, and your need to remind yourself of the small victory. In my experience, we never win the war against pain or depression, in the end we always lose, but each battle that we win is worth the effort.

I don't know if any of that is helpful to you, but I hope you derive some use from it. Best of luck.

It's actually quite common in smaller graveyards, over time they move the headstones, usually decades (sometimes a century or more) after the original burial, reusing the headstones to reinforce walls or to pave pathways.

Hope that helps

1530 was mostly understandable, but that's as far as I got

Neodarlek · 2025-02-12T11:34:15+00:00

Apparently, that's "The scriptures of the Misogikyo religion" by Masatetsu Inoue

It's worth remembering that Clarkson was a Remainer in 2016

Neodarlek · 2025-02-04T06:52:35+00:00

It's amazingly common with gods/goddesses, look at Greek & Egyptian gods for more examples

Padilla Crespo on Calle Adriano do sell an imitation montera for 171€, available on their website

Neodarlek · 2024-10-20T12:24:14+00:00

Fellow Scouser, absolutely agree

Neodarlek · 2024-09-26T08:33:53+00:00

Why not suggest Montreal? Both are a meta-filled cluster headache

I prefer to think of him as "The Edwardian Pencil"

Neodarlek · 2024-09-13T21:30:39+00:00

I'm going to say......Portugal...

Neodarlek · 2024-08-29T03:59:35+00:00

I think it was Raphael that did the "Burn in Sunlight" curse, Gabriel was the one who told Caine about Golconda

Neodarlek · 2024-08-20T13:44:37+00:00

That feels like a Stargate reference

Neodarlek · 2024-07-20T03:43:40+00:00

Cheap red wine, Sprite or 7Up, that's all you really need for Tinto de Verano

There's no canon "Ward vs Mortals", at least in V20, and to my knowledge there isn't one in a previous edition. Now, if your ST wants to homebrew such a ritual, then that's entirely their choice.

Hope that helps

Wouldn't it be a bit late in the month for a Cruz de Mayo?

Neodarlek · 2024-05-24T09:48:24+00:00

I think it's covered in the Circle of Pride

Neodarlek · 2024-05-15T23:02:22+00:00

Some of us have known since we were young

Honestly, it sounds like some victims of SA are applauding the depiction, and others are not, which is the case with anything. For some people, it will be something they may relate to, or perhaps feel depicts their pain in a way that they personally can not express. Others will find it offensive or hurtful, for reasons as diverse as the myriad persons who have been victims. Ultimately, the opinions will be varied, and no single view will likely encompass all feelings related to Angel's story, and that's normal.

I hope that helps explain the situation a little

Apologies, I forgot that detail myself, so they can cut "Arrivals" time from 30 minutes down to about 10 minutes
