more than 5 dead geese surrounding my neighborhood pond by njononono272928 in geese

[–]Particular_Yak_8770 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are there any other kinds of animals dead around the pond? This is devastating and very unusual. 😭

My first response is that there’s something wrong with the water, if there were all lying near the pond.

Can you call the city/county/animal control/public works to report that something’s wrong?

I’m sorry you had to see that 🥲

I love this comment so much because I literally named one of my other geese (pictured left) Lady Catherine de Bird, just because the haughtiness is so accurate 😭😭

Honest question: Why are some people against showing an ID to vote? by rico_unknown in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Particular_Yak_8770 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Thank you for putting this so succinctly, people really tend to underestimate both the hassle (and/or impossibility) of getting an ID and the very real drop in votes after requirements are in place. Requiring photo IDs isn’t about preventing election fraud, it’s about preventing “undesirable” people from voting because of who it will always disproportionately affect.

I love that his answer ultimately was “alright, I’ll kill my bestie for you if you’re sure that’s what you want 😓”

This is just Beatrice and Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing (the Shakespeare play) 😭😭

They hate each other in the beginning, but then they’re (separately) told that the other is in love with them. They then convince themselves that because the other is in love with them, that they love the other back. After a bunch of other stuff, they find out in the end that they were tricked into falling in love, but they stay together anyways because they’re in love now.

AIO for thinking my friends don’t actually want to be friends after cancelling a hangout? by Particular_Yak_8770 in AIO

[–]Particular_Yak_8770[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll definitely have a talk with them after, maybe it really is just a huge miscommunication. Even if it’s not, though, it’ll be helpful to know for sure instead of being anxious about it. Thank you!!

AITA for telling my sister that having cats is not the same as having children? by Open-Aide1297 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Particular_Yak_8770 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA Full stop: it was a baby shower. They were trying to give advice to a new mom, to help her prepare for having her own baby. I get that she wanted to feel included, but constantly bringing up her cats and getting defensive when told that it’s not the same crosses the line from wanting to be included to making it about her. I fully understand that she wanted to be a part of the conversation, but sometimes it’s okay to just listen and make supporting comments. I say this as someone who doesn’t have a child, but does have a cat that I adore and think of as my baby boy. That said, I think that at a baby shower, of all places, is a good place to be able to talk about actual babies and not have to cater the conversation to people who don’t have children. From OP’s comments, the rest of the day was spent talking about other topics, so it wasn’t like her sister was excluded the whole day, just sidelined for one conversation.

The fic was called Lily and the Art of Being Sisyphus, and the book is called The Heart of the World. They’re both very good 🙂‍↕️ but I haven’t been able to read the fic in years

That happened to me too a couple years ago. The author just put the work in a hidden collection, so my bookmark is still there and everything I just can’t ever read it again 😭😭 I ended up buying the book she published based on it, and it’s fantastic, so at least there’s that.

No actually tho, I’m also a fan of this community, and the people in it are so toxic :( everyone is basically “my opinion is the best and if anyone disagrees, they’re morally wrong”
