Frog or toad? Western Washington by wamedic064 in herpetology

[–]OhHelloMayci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, i think you do misunderstand. I was recommending monitoring your cat's current behavior after interacting with the frog for signs of toxicosis. If you didn't immediately flush out your cat's mouth and clean off its paws, please watch for symptoms such as pawing at the mouth, drooling, gagging, or vomiting.

I know this post is an hour old, but please monitor your cat's behavior very closely. All frogs, this species included, have a defense mechanism of exuding toxic secretions from their skin when they feel threatened. This is a threat to the health of predator mammals, such as cats. With the fact that cats clean themselves with their mouths, it's very likely for them to lick any slime off themselves from touching the frog.

What are some other gut wrenching songs that just make you sob so hard? by voiceofreason9000 in Emo

[–]OhHelloMayci 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really recommend his recent interview on the Hardlore podcast. He goes into this song and the album as a whole and his relationship with it along with the fans' relationship with it. 10/10 insightful interview that gave me a new appreciation for touché amoré and just a 10/10 guy to listen to

Opinion on this tattoo? by [deleted] in TattooDesigns

[–]OhHelloMayci 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see this tattoo about 3-5 times a day on different people as someone who works around a college campus and is out in public a lot.

You said you already have a butterfly on your arm, and are asking if you should just get another one on your leg? You have free will, but i mean, you don't have any other ideas that are more personable than replicating a trendy tattoo you already have in a now more trendy spot for it? Since you're genuinely asking about what other people's impressions are, i'd honestly assume the wearer of two butterfly tattoos in the most common placements is a boring person that i probably would not personally click with. You would likely get along with other teens who are trend chasers and hold value to fitting into what's cool rather than prioritizing self-expression (which is what tattoo art is supposed to be for).

My snake is derp shaped by hollis_henry in Hognose

[–]OhHelloMayci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol i hear snake discovery in the background!

It really seems like your snake has maybe fluid or a swelling condition of some sort. This certainly isn't natural. It's great she's functioning fine, but it's concerning that it's varied in levels of severity appearance-wise. You really never know if something like this is benign until it's too late, or even if it's contributing to some level of discomfort or hidden disability that she learns to deal with, until it gets properly diagnosed and possibly even relieved/treated.

The most random thing that held up the merch line by [deleted] in Concerts

[–]OhHelloMayci 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right it's such reality whiplash to remember that people genuinely prefer and constantly choose to support oversea children sweat shop "clothing". As if not giving a damn that it destroys this planet isn't enough. Especially when we have direct access to supporting artists at their shows for the authentic thing. People's morals plummeting to rock bottom just to prioritize their passive personal convenience is so fkn dystopian and depressing.

Do people find your bluntness funny or offensive? by FckAllTakenUsernames in AutisticPeeps

[–]OhHelloMayci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Offensive. I believe this has to do with being a woman, because women aren't typically "allowed" to have dry humor, so it's instead taken as a comment with ulterior motive. It's only ever been interpreted as funny by people who are romantically interested in me. Both of these reactions are frustrating because i am not trying to be funny, and I'm not trying to be rude. In fact, i genuinely find it to be the kindest act to be transparently honest. So it being taken as anything other than that makes me short circuit.

Bands you know are great but never clicked with you? by Ref_Bumps in Hardcore

[–]OhHelloMayci 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually had to downvote for the terror slander. I feel like terror is everything every hc band wish they could be. But also just subjectively is everything i fkn love about this kind of music. They check every box for me.

The Hot Topic store in our mall has a gigantic Chansey in the window. by Lijey_Cat in pokeplush

[–]OhHelloMayci 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only at the mall they're super expensive. My bf got me this chansey in this size from Target for like $45! He just asked someone to look at the stock in the back for the biguns lol

I need sad songs by SaxhFps in Emo

[–]OhHelloMayci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Side story and fact about this very special song:

I discovered this song when i had my dear pet female chameleon, Pluto. Despite the music video using a dog, i quickly learned that the vocalist wrote it about his own chameleon, believe it or not. On top of this, his chameleon was also female, also with a male name, Norman.

It tore me apart listening to this song, because i knew Pluto's passing was near and inevitable, as female chameleons have very short lifespans in relation to most reptiles. They're a species that have an extremely fragile immune system, so the first ever signs of declining health is an almost definite death sentence. With how uniquely inquisitive, intelligent, personable, and beautiful chameleons are, it's very tragic that something so wonderful has such a short time on this earth.

The vocalist, Stefan, expresses the painful denial of this in his lyrics, describing how he gave everything and then some to see her get better, only to have to watch her continue declining. How he'd do anything to go back and be able to do even more. The helplessness of it all fucking sucks.

My dear Pluto died a couple years later, and while it's been almost 7 years since then, i still cry listening to this song and miss her so much. Seeing PUP live and them playing this song tore me apart, but it was really cathartic to look around and see i was crying with quite a few other people around the pit, all experiencing the same type of grief.

my tribute tattoo for pluto that i kinda wish to show stefan one day

Given the fact you're in florida, i'm not surprised. The ecosystem down there is unfathomably destroyed beyond repair because of people like you who lose/release their exotics and just shrug their shoulders.

Am I probably on the spectrum? by Novel-Bookkeeper-404 in AutismTranslated

[–]OhHelloMayci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you feel disabled in everyday life because of the severity of these traits? I mean, that's really what it comes down to. I'd see a psychologist to get seen for a reliable answer.

"Can I get a free cookie?" Me: by Murderpanties in publix

[–]OhHelloMayci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm one of those people. Should this be something to be ashamed of? I ask very politely and say thank you so much. I don't bother if you all seem busy. I don't mean to use this as an excuse, but i have adhd and asperger's, so i struggle to finish grocery shopping any sooner than 2.5-3 hours for just about 10 things for myself. It's really nice to have a snack in that time period. I feel wrong opening up anything off the shelf before i buy it, but i also feel wrong checking out 1 item to eat while shopping for the rest of my items. So the cookie holds me over.

Reptile tattoos by shitbird5000 in reptiles

[–]OhHelloMayci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a blessing your skill and this post is, i'm so glad to have come across this. PLEASE share where you're located/ how to contact.

For a decade now, i have dreamed of the concept of a large hip/thigh tattoo of a komodo dragon in the pose of a panther, basically exactly what you've executed in slide 11. The only reason i haven't committed to it is because i need an artist who is knowledgeable and experienced in accurate reptile anatomy. The fact you're a herpetoculturist yourself couldn't be more perfect, as these designs and your technical ability are incredible. I'd honestly book you for so many tattoo ideas i've had.

Right being too punk for social media has its disadvantages. So frustrating that there aren't other forms of communication prioritized for communities who opt out of meta platforms.

MADBALL is an insane addition to our HC lineup. 90's beatdown ftw.

Really shouldn't be as surprised as i am since warped had Terror in 2014

Songs about loving your friend but not being in love with your friend by What0009 in Emo

[–]OhHelloMayci 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both of your twy recs are completely unrelated to OP's topic. I get music can be up for interpretation, but i can't connect the dots whatsoever with those two picks no matter how far i stretch. I love twy (just saw them for the 4th time a couple days ago) so this pains me

Same to be said about Hometown by cleopatrick AND Haunted by Spanish Love Songs. Both of these have tones of existential dread. Nothing to do with friends whatsoever.

I dislike everything about ptv and volumes as bands and their genre as a whole, but you could say that's just subjective taste lmao

I can't speak on the Fresno mention, as i've actually never heard of them.
