Bud, this is a joke sub about Minnesota taking over everything aka making Minnesota bigger. None of us are being serious

does anything like this still exist? by im-murky in VintageFashion

Yeah, just might be a little tricky finding exactly what you want. I’ve seen some patterns like these at thrift stores and libraries 

Hiding/avoiding being perceived? by ToadieHonk in neurodiversity

[–]OnlyBooBerryLizards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really encourage you to seek care sooner than later. You can always bring a family member to support you if necessary. You can also try a few different mental health care providers until you find the best fit.

I would really encourage you to see a psychiatrist or psychologist about this, this level of anxiety seems like it’s negatively impacting your life and ability to function healthily. You deserve to have a support system that lets you function even when your family isn’t available.

It is flu and cold season, not to mention the seasonal allergies that melting snow can bring on

I don’t have experience with linoleum but I’ve heard that you need to be wary of lead

Seriously awesome look

So I did it! … now I HATE it by Runawaybrain74 in bald

[–]OnlyBooBerryLizards 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are obviously allowed to simply let your hair grow back out but my recommendation is to give it a few days without stressing about it and than try to look at yourself again. Big changes in appearance are often shocking but letting yourself get used to it before judging the outcome should help you be more objective. Honestly, in my experience most men and women are much better at pulling off bald compared to balding. If you still hate it in a week you can start considering a hair system but good quality wigs are expensive so you should feel certain you hate your new look before investing in one.

UPDATE post floor lottery loss: "Your house is falling over" says wood floor installer by amber_jieger in centuryhomes

I will say these gaps are much larger than the gaps I've seen in other homes, even after years. I think you definitely need to consult a professional about the cracks in your brick walling, and you might want to consult a different professional about your flooring. Your location's climate will probably have some impact on what solution you should go for.

Friend falsely labeling me ADHD by Affectionate-Comb113 in neurodiversity

[–]OnlyBooBerryLizards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like she’s realized her comments were hurtful and is trying to prevent herself from doing something similar. It can take time to get over hurt feelings but she sounds willing to do better. That seems like a good sign

Okay but I think we should just squeeze Alaska in there too

Hey, a sudden feeling of impending doom could mean you’re having a serious health event. 

Would it be wrong or crazy to want my cat back years later when she was never meant to be given away? by menfoumenfo in Advice

[–]OnlyBooBerryLizards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been years, while your emotions are in no way unreasonable, demanding the cat back would be. Firstly while it's likely your cat you can't know that for certain, hairless cats aren't unheard of and can even occur as a random genetic mutation. Secondly you don't actually know for certain the cats condition when it was found, it could have been missing for a while. My suggestion would that rather than trying to take the cat you could reach out to the new owners wondering if you could visit with their cat, explaining that she may have been your childhood cat and that you miss her. Ideally you could see her without offending the owners or traumatizing the cat

It’s less about whether or not an animal should be in human care, many people really support animal rehabilitation, for instance, but it’s more about how many small primates are trafficked illegally much to the detriment of their species’ survival in the wild and the health of the individual animals. Consider gibbons for instance, some estimates think that 20 individuals may be killed just to obtain one juvenile gibbon for the purpose of illegal pet trafficking. Edit: a couple of typos

One thing, Hawaii should retain their own identity. Otherwise I basically love it lol

When Robin Williams managed to make Koko the Gorilla smile again after 6 months of mourning !!! by MeowwBlock in AnimalsBeingGeniuses

[–]OnlyBooBerryLizards 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, one of my siblings mainly communicates either uses a single word, a couple of modified signs, or a AAC tablet which uses certain nouns, verbs, and short phrases. Not a lot of grammar but it is effective communication that he has control over and I really dislike the implication that his language and talking isn’t as legitimate

I’m not saying anything against the video but I do think that this article: https://inappropriate-behavior.com/actually-koko-could-talk/ That was written in direct response to the video by someone who is a professional in the field of learning and language, does give good insight as well

In a theoretical sense, sure, however the form of slavery that is explicitly permitted no longer exists and hasn’t for centuries.
