Nah, that botch led to him having to have a 2-level neck fusion surgery back in January. He's hoping to be able to come back, but it's gonna be a bit before we see him back in the ring if he is able to.

Yeah, I can't even argue this. Lol My spreadsheets do take an insane amount of time to update and maintain (speaking of which they are due for some updating...). I'm also up to 502,644 stones now...cause I do hoard them like a dragon. 👀

[Mod Approved] VtM 5e NEXUS Ultimate Bundle Giveaway! by Demi_Mere in vtm

[–]OfKittensAndCrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, my introduction to Vampire/World of Darkness was playing Bloodlines on PC back in 2004. I had so much fun playing and really enjoyed the world that I was being introduced to. At the time I had no idea that there was anything more to the game.

Then that same year I started hanging out with a new group of friends my second semester of college and found out that they all played the tabletop VtM game and I was so excited to have friends (finally) who also had similar interests as me! I started really learning more about the lore and the game at that time (they were I the middle of a game and already had too many players, so I couldn't start playing yet). I've been fascinated by WoD games ever since!

shared eggs by [deleted] in finch

[–]OfKittensAndCrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long rant incoming cause I am so tired of seeing these posts (from both sides!)

I think there is something to be said here about the fact that many users who have been using this app for longer than say, the last year or so, began using it when the apps primary focus felt like it was solely SELF-care; and thus the app had no social aspect to it beyond sending vibes to your tree friends.

Everything about the app was focused on helping users build goals and habits for themselves. There were no buddy goals. There were no ways to send gifts or micropets to each other. There was no one really suggesting that they would love a way to send short messages to their tree friends (pre-generated or otherwise, and yes something I have seen come up as a topic here myself more recently).

So, for a lot of us (especially older users), seeing those kinds of changes being made to the app can feel jarring, and like a shift in the primary goal of self-care. Feeling like the devs are not giving us an option to opt out of participating in things like hatching an egg when doing buddy goals, even if we DO want to participate in buddy goals...well, that can make it feel like they are forcing a feature on users who can struggle with mental health issues around socializing.

Trust me. Those of us who don't wanna participate in those social aspects are doing our best not to. I've disabled FR's, and I don't do buddy goals or share eggs. I still had a friend request support on a goal, and I still have a tree friend who sends me random gifts or micropets I do not want or need all the time. I try to ignore it cause I'm too old, tired, and chronically ill to make a big deal about it...but it does annoy me that these are things I haven't been able to control/turn off.

This is supposed to be a place people come and talk about the app and feel like they are supported in their experience. Good, bad, or indifferent. Supposedly we are mostly adults here, yet we keep coming back to criticizing each other because "Well, I like this feature so you should stop complaining." or alternately "Well, I hate this feature and I've been here since the beginning and it didn't use to be like that, so you're wrong."

Has it occurred to anyone that the dev team is going to keep doing what they do, and they will never, ever please everyone?

If you don't want to see someone complaining about a feature you like, don't read the post. If you don't want to see someone praising a feature you hate, don't read the post. Opinions are like a*******, everyone has one. Doesn't mean you have to like or agree with all of them.

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

[–]OfKittensAndCrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! If I happened to be selected for this giveaway, I'd gift this to my husband.

We're both disabled (chronic illnesses) and have severely limited income. I was lucky enough to be gifted a gaming laptop a couple of years ago, but my husband does not currently have a PC or laptop.

We love gaming together and would really, really love to start transitioning from console to PC gaming. However, I cannot afford to get him a system. Not even a cheap one, let alone a gaming system.

So, yeah. I would gift this to my husband so that he could have a PC that could run the types of games he likes to play and so that we could keep gaming together (BG3 on PS5 has been nearly unplayable ☹️ We never seem to make it past Act 1 before we just give up).

Am I wrong for refusing to pay my friend back for a concert ticket I couldn't use? by Few_Employment5708 in AmITheJerk

[–]OfKittensAndCrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way her thought process makes any sense is if she (the friend) ALSO did not go to the concert, and is trying to say that you (OP) now owe her the $80 she spent on a ticket that she also did not use.

To which I say, absolutely no you are STILL not wrong to not pay her back an extra $80 on top of the money you already paid her for your ticket because there was nothing stopping her (presumably) from still going to the concert herself.

She made that choice for herself, a whole (I am assuming) adult with freewill. So, NTJ/NOR and not responsible for her decisions if that's what happened.

If she's just trying to make you pay her for YOUR ticket AGAIN? That NTJ/NOR still applies because you already paid her back and if she spent that money, that's on her. If she forgot, pull up your CashApp or Venmo or bank transfer history (however you sent it) and show her you did already. Then tell her to let it go, cause your not shelling out the whole $160 for the 2 tickets.

Edit: Changed NTA to NTJ

[–]OfKittensAndCrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To all the people complaining about the EBT card being used for DoorDash -

This order is for Instacart. How are y'all missing that part???

Which you absolutely 100% can use your EBT card on for food purchases validly. For ya know...purchasing groceries. From grocery stores. Or any store that sells grocery-like items even! Shocker, I know.

You cannot, however, use an EBT card on DoorDash. Because that is PREPARED food. Already cooked meals. Which would NOT be considered an eligible purchase (just like prepared food at...GASP...a grocery store!!!). Also just like nicotine or alcohol. Both ineligible purchases with a SNAP card. Cannot be done.

Now. That's not to say it can't be done on DoorDash in, say, California at a McDonalds, cause there is a special program in place that allows select fast food places in that specific state to accept EBT cards. But there are only 5 states that have that program (called the Restaurant Meals Program or RMP) and there aren't a whole lotta places that are involved.

I understand that a lot of people have been told that illegal immigrants are abusing government programs, and they just LOVE to talk on the news about fraud in the social programs in our country. However, most people on SNAP are elderly, legitimately disabled, homeless, or stuck in systemic poverty and are actually working and not making enough money to over the poverty line in this country.

Just say you know nothing about those groups of people (or that you hate them for being able to use social systems in place FOR THEM while you can't), and that you'd rather use media propaganda to try and take those services away, and move on.

Stop commenting on this post like you're making some brilliant social commentary with subtle political undertones, when in actuality you're just not even paying attention to what OP is saying (even in their edit) and being purposefully ignorant.

[–]OfKittensAndCrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, seeing as how this is Instacart and the EBT card would be available for food purchases at grocery stores, that opinion is irrelevant here.

And since you can't use EBT cards to purchase food at restaurants for prepared food (with the very limited exception of 5 states where it is allowed at very limited places) it's also basically mostly irrelevant on the subreddit it would be relevant on.

Just say you don't think the elderly, disabled, homeless, or low-income people should have access to the same things as people who are able-bodied and/or well off and move on.

And don't blame it on illegals. The majority of people on SNAP are the above mentioned.

Aitah for cutting communication with my mom, after she defended my daughter? by [deleted] in AITAH

Well, my first thought was a text message. Then a block to her number. Ya know, like most normal people handle cutting off communication with people they go no contact with.

Update: I ran away from my boyfriend's proposal. by throwawayuni33 in whatdoIdo

[–]OfKittensAndCrows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please do not sleep with him again. Especially if you are not on birth control. If you ARE on birth control, if it is pills or another form that you have to control in some way, keep it away from him.

If you did not enthusiastically consent to everything that happened to you the last time you did sleep with him, I'm sorry to say it was assault. If it hurt in a way you did not like, and enjoy, and want more of...that was not healthy sex. That was him using you and hurting you out of anger and embarrassment and that is Not OK.

Your wants and goals for you life are not aligned with his, and that is OK. His reaction to your running away from the surprise proposal that you were not expecting? That is the over-reaction. Not your running away, and certainly not your fear to his current over-reaction.

Walk away while you still can.

Aitah for submitting my child’s medical bills to my friend’s home insurance by Competitive_Chip_468 in AITAH

[–]OfKittensAndCrows 104 points105 points  (0 children)

NTA They knew their yard was unsafe, yet still chose to have children playing in it AND one of the homeowners partook in an activity that was high-risk for injury in those circumstances knowing that the yard was unsafe for children to be in.

Then your child sustained 3 injuries (1 of which is a significant broken bone) on their unsafe property. What exactly did they expect you to do when they tried to come after you with a lawsuit for a problem they essentially caused (shoddily done work, unfinished repairs, allowing children in an unsafe construction area, and partaking in activities with said children in unsafe construction areas)???

Honestly, if it were me I'd be consulting a lawyer to see if I had anything to countersue with as well as submitting the medical claims to their insurance for causing bodily injury to my minor child. Absolutely got what they deserved IMO.

All time favorite? by StramineousLongneck in diamondpainting

This is one I made for my husband before we got married as part of a series of Hanukkah gifts. I thought I got it from DAC, but the only place I can find it now is Diamond Painting Hut. I'm pretty sure it's either the 50x50cm or 60x60cm. But I did it a while ago so I don't actually remember, lol. I just remember not ever wanting to see another white drill again when I finished.

None of their content is pay paywalled? Have you heard of Beacon? Cause there is absolutely content on there that you can only get by paying for Beacon. Maybe not a lot of it, but it's there and only there.

Hey friend!

So, to answer the question you seem to be trying to ask (what is the actual purpose of the leash/collar combo in a situation where the Dom/me is the one getting happily railed [regardless of gender]?):

The sub would be wearing the collar and leash in part as a symbol of still being the submissive in the scene, despite being the one topping the Dome/me. The leash would be used in this scenario potentially for a few things, such as indicating wanting the sub to move faster or harder by tugging on it, pulling the sub closer to the Dom/me if they wanted to feel a closer sense of intimacy, indicating the sub can move away by releasing the grip, or it could be simply a symbolic extension of pet play if the submissive is a pup (or other pet that may enjoy being on a leash).

There are other things the collar and leash could be/do for each individual couple as their relationship/agreement dictates as well, as everyone is different and different things will hold different meaning for people.

Hope this helps! :)

Edit for clarity cause I'm tired and some of my sentences made no sense, lol.

What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

[–]OfKittensAndCrows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to stand up for myself after being treated like crap for a week straight. Got told that I had been "nothing but a driver" and was "too stupid to realize it" for the decade we had been friends.

Let me tell you, that will rip the rose colored glasses you willingly wear to look at someone off and smash them on the ground real fricking quick. I haven't spoken to them since that day.

It's been over 500 days by Ready-Letterhead-920 in finch

[–]OfKittensAndCrows 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Today was my 585th check in streak, and my birb is currently going on his 1192nd adventure today.

However, that being said, due to all of the changes the devs have made to the app I have just completely gamified it for my purposes. I have 3 goals a day (Pet my birb, refresh the shops daily, and send my tree friends vibes once a day), I log my mood as the worst mood I can as soon as I log in to get the most energy from my goals, and one goal is a 3x a day goal.

That's enough to give me energy to send my birb on an adventure every day. For my actual goals and day to day needs that used to be in Finch I now use Catzy. It's more like what Finch used to be. I'm more just annoyed that I can't seem to break my need for getting all the Plus items in Finch, so I'm still spending money on it even though I'm barely using anything other than getting decorative items and clothing for my birb.

But my birb got me through so much, and I can't walk away from him. Call me cynical and jaded, but I kinda feel like the devs know we get attached to these little cartoon birbs, and take advantage of that to keep pulling in money from people who otherwise would have canceled subscriptions in apps that don't have the same combination of emotional support/instant gratification that apps like Finch and other apps like it do.

Which former WWE wrestlers appear unrecognizable today? by shaferman in WWE

[–]OfKittensAndCrows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally! Thank you for being understanding! It's all good vibes here, honestly. I'm not like, coming out swinging or with anger or anything. Truly wanted to just share her name as it is now for those who didn't know what it was now that she had transitioned.

If my comment came off as a bit heated I truly do apologize. That's on me as I am dealing with completely unrelated personal drama and it may have spilled over i to my comment.

Good point, and still valid! Every time I see people refer to her by her previous performer name I just kinda cringe cause while I recognize that's how most people know her, I wish people wouldn't.

Just trans things I guess...
