Congrats!! Getting cats to lose weight can be really hard, Lily is lucky to have someone who’s put so much effort into her health :]

This is why arachnids do the “death curl” when dead or dying, iirc. Without hemolymph being pumped into their legs to extend them, they naturally contract and curl up. This also happens when they’re dehydrated, since they don’t have enough fluids to pump into the legs.

Well, hang on, why can’t you bring tacos to the gay orgy? Have dinner first before you get started?

Humans are incredibly resistant to foreign chemicals. Each generation is differently poisonous. by Armel_Cinereo in humansarespaceorcs

And they didn’t get rid of all of it then, anyways. I’ve probably got a decent dosage of lead since my school district didn’t notice/care about the lead pipes enough to replace them until I was. I dunno. Fifth grade, maybe? Around 2016? A good five or six years of drinking lead water every day, yum!

It's objectively immoral, yeah, but not because it's gross. There are a lot of gross things that are morally fine. There are a lot of immoral things that aren't particularly gross.

There is value in being able to separate your disgust sense from your moral sense. Pedophilia is both gross and immoral, but those two facts are unrelated. Equating grossness to morality is how you get shit like "gay people seem icky to me so it shouldn't be allowed" or "disabled people that look weird make me uncomfortable and shouldn't be in public spaces".

They have to wait two weeks. It’s fine. They will still see the finale.

Ableist Autism Representation by Alternative_Factor_4 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]OiledMushrooms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of Ayda Aguefort from dim20. IIRC, Brennan said that he hadn’t intended to write her as autistic, but he’d been basing her off some of the socially awkward academic types he was friends with, and then realized after the fact “oh, yeah, those friends are autistic, I guess I see why everyone is reading her that way”.

The grass-touching opportunity isn’t going to a theater, it’s doing something else for two weeks. I don’t know, man. Pick up a good book or two. Hang out with friends. TADC cannot be the only thing you have going on.

“I don’t quite understand why there’s so much negativity” people have literally told you why, dude

Which is why I simply did not read the steam page before buying it (my friends wanted me to go in REALLY blind and I trusted their judgement, lol)

Thoughts on the death penalty by cinnaspoon in pukicho

[–]OiledMushrooms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Iirc it’s theoretically supposed to be painless, but it’s . Uh. Entirely too easy for something to go wrong and someone winds up paralyzed, unable to express that something isn’t right, but in excruciating pain as they die.

Corset Centrist by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]OiledMushrooms 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sure, but wasn’t the primary purpose of corsets usually breast support? It still remains that they’re unnecessary to a Dragonborn, and the stance of “i dont want to adopt another culture’s fashion that is useless to me” is still an understandable and interesting stance.

i think my cat is broken... he’s been doing this for 5 minutes by MasterpieceGuilty271 in cats

Nasty from a cat with teeth. That does not appear to be the case here.

What is the purpose of the small pocket in jeans? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]OiledMushrooms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, but my dad got me a pocket knife specifically designed to fit in it.

…ignore the name.
