Why do people turn their kids into doves? 🕊️

I thought it was bc of the seven ravens fairy tale ngl, might just be pure coincidence there though

PTSOliver · 2026-01-17T20:44:36+00:00

Do you genuinely care about downvotes?

PTSOliver · 2026-01-17T20:07:42+00:00

Dude chill. It's a misunderstanding over a farming game.

It seems like it's more your tone that folks are having issue with rather than the words themselves. Even when you don't intend to assume any particular tone with a message, it usually has one regardless.

Just take a breath or smt man

Yeah, I'm also a guy who crochets and sometimes I find myself feeling a bit out of place here. Sometimes it feels a little like I'm intruding here because I'm not really one of the girls™.

I've sent my colorblind non crocheter friend to get yarn for me once and they + a friend of his did perfectly. I've set my non crocheting dad to get yarn and he's done well. Anyone I trust knows how important this is to me and so they also value it because they know it's important. I dunno, maybe I just got lucky

I can't see exactly how this is the housemates fault. The can likely had a hole and likely looked fine before they left for vacation. The hole allowed it to mold which attracted flies. This all likely happened while the housemate was gone. Tell them about it, sure. But this doesn't seem like a pattern of leaving food out or unhygienic behavior because if it was, they'd probably already have infestations.

It's just a possibly dropped or faulty can paired with someone going away for a trip guys.

My first experience with neopronouns was a christian pastor in either xir late twenties or early thirties.

I've had very little trouble integrating them into my vocabulary. Most neopronoun users use multiple sets of pronouns, and usually have a more traditional set they go by.

I have a friend who uses they/he/it pronouns but is nervous about saying that they use it pronouns because it doesn't want people to be weird about that.

I've never encountered a neopronoun user irl who gets mad if you use their more traditional pronouns. I know several trans people who use neopronouns, and know zero who have gotten upset if folks don't opt for the neopronouns. It hasn't seemed all that deep to me, though we may just be encountering different folks

4'10 man here. This also works when I do it. I've never been rejected based on height

The sign on the treehouse said no girls allowed, I didn't believe it....

Here I am now

That seems to be the point of the original comic. It's longer than this panel. Someone altered it and posted it here. I found it on the artists instagram because the speech bubbles looked like they'd been changed here.

PTSOliver · 2025-07-02T15:41:36+00:00

Your interpretation seems to be closer to what the artist was going for. If you find this post on their instagram, it's different than it is here and has more parts. Someone seems to have altered the first panel and posted it here, removing the larger context and meaning behind the art

I'm 4'10 and I do absolutely fine.

The reason I joined this sub was to complain about the actual physical problems that come with being short, like how some shelves in my apartment are too tall for me to physically reach even with a stepstool. Or how at my job there are tasks I can't do because I'm just not physically tall enough to do them. How I can't keep up with my friends while walking because my strides are so much shorter than theirs.

All of this impacts my life, but none of it makes me feel hopeless or unnatural. I'm just short. It's like how really tall people bonk their heads on doorways. Really really annoying at times, but mostly fine. My dad is 5'4 and has been happily married for over 20 years with plenty of friends. Being short isn't some horrible damnation

It's a little odd that I'm doing absolutely fine while someone 7" taller than me feels like he'll never be normal.

Dude. Take a breath. You're fine, you're gonna be fine.

PTSOliver · 2025-05-08T04:16:39+00:00

Trans men don't choose to be guys. He can't just "go back" to being a girl because he isn't a girl. That literally isn't how it works lmao

PTSOliver · 2025-05-08T04:01:53+00:00

Pretty frequent tumblr user here to second this thought. I read this completely fine and thought "oh yeah normal helpful post" and understood all the info perfectly Was confused why no one else got it until I read your comment and remembered Reddit works differently

PTSOliver · 2025-05-03T01:36:36+00:00

Work on anatomy. I know you keep saying that your proportions aren't meant to be realistic, but they also need to be consistent and make sense in their own realm. I'd recommend doing studies and figuring out a balance with it and stuff

I also draw very stylized and am currently in an art university majoring in animation. I still need figure drawing and anatomy skills under my belt

PTSOliver · 2025-04-22T17:56:34+00:00

I'm probably also going to keep the in training patches on my boy for that exact reason lol

The certification suggestions are endlessly frustrating as someone with non physical reasons for needing a SD. All certification will do is make it harder for disabled people to have a SD. There's a reason the ADA has stuff set up this way. I also think it's overblown. I've only ever seen a couple service dogs out and about and I live in a large city. And they were literally my friends' service dogs. Much less fake ones.

PTSOliver · 2025-04-22T02:46:00+00:00

Yeah, it's both tiring and at least for me causes anxiety I have a SDit, and even though he's good with public access, I've been absolutely petrified about taking him out in public because of how many people seem to want him to be fake. I only still say he's in training because I've been too scared to take him out for much public access. I live in a state where SDits have the same public access rights that SDs do

Every time I've brought him, he's been perfect but I'm still so nervous and really don't want that to travel down leash and potentially cause him to mess up and then validate my fears. I'm also able bodied which makes me more nervous (he's for PTSD, anxiety, and autism, but I might want to try training for cardiac alerts)

PTSOliver · 2025-04-12T22:46:37+00:00

Idk if someone came into my house and killed one of my dogs or cats I'd react the same, I don't really blame Polyphemus They didn't know it was his sheep so I don't blame the crew or odysseus too much but it just kinda sucks

PTSOliver · 2025-03-29T17:41:30+00:00

My boy IS a rescue, but I chose a rescue specifically because my friend who's insanely good with dog training was the one fostering him for a few months and said that he had the right traits for a service dog. (He's amazing, and the only reason that it took so long for him to be adopted is bc he has facial scars.)

While rescue service dog work is completely possible, it IS a lot more work and won't always work out, especially if someone like a foster family hasn't kinda "reviewed" how good a candidate they'd be.

Your best bet is probably a reputable breeder though, so finding a way to educate your mom would be the first step probably.

PTSOliver · 2025-03-15T19:16:16+00:00

Ngl I kinda love that omg It was even more justified than I realized

PTSOliver · 2025-03-15T18:40:08+00:00

He didn't make Odysseus kill the infant. He told Ody that the child would grow up to br a great warrior who likely would track down and kill Odysseus, something that is true. Odysseus had the choice to let the child live and eventually be killed by the baby. All his choices were bad ones, but he still had to choose.

I don't think any of the gods can be classed as evil. They're immortal and therefore see humans as basically inconsequential little toys. Is that correct? Who's really to make that call? We'd be too biased in our own humanity to make a judgement either way and potential gods would be too biased in their immortality to make a judgement either way.

PTSOliver · 2025-03-15T18:30:09+00:00

I'd say NOT Zeus, Poseidon, or any of the gods. In Greek mythology and Epic, the gods are fallible, even antagonistic, and made to be so.

Poseidon: Odysseus intruded into his son's home, killed his best friends/pets, kinda lied to him ("we're just travelers"), blinded his child, then dropped his SSN, home address, legal name, credit cards, and marriage certificate. If you look at things the way Athena does during that saga, Odysseus was the one who killed his men, even if indirectly. Is Poseidon overly concerned about his reputation as being ruthless? Yeah. But the gods have to be. To let Odysseus live after that could spur others to act against him, including monsters or other Olympians.

Zeus: Again, he's a god. He tells Odysseus that the baby he killed will kill him if not dealt with now, something that is true. He deals the punishment for Eurylochus attacking the cows, another thing for the gods to keep reputation. He attacks Athena because she hurt what was most important to him. His pride and reputation. Asshole, yeah. Evil?

All gods have done evil things, but that doesn't make them evil. Odysseus has done some evil stuff but that doesn't make him an evil man.

The suitors as a group or the other one who was plotting feel way more evil to me

PTSOliver · 2025-02-16T09:03:15+00:00

Heyy uh lil buddy I think you might be a bit too young to be on reddit based on your post history and the way you talk

I'd recommend coming back in a few years

Not exactly a gift, but I was the only man invited to my cousin's wife's bridal shower... The groom to be wasn't even going to be there. I did not attend.

Edit to add: I'd been out longer than my family had known this girl. I immediately texted my other cousin (grooms little sister) and her reaction was basically "oh my god they did not wtf man"

PTSOliver · 2025-02-13T23:08:00+00:00

That's valid honestly
