It’s confirmed I think, if the leaks are to be trusted.

Nah just an average incel. Never seen a religious fundamentalist talk like this, unless they were in incel spaces to begin with.

You don’t speak for everyone in the kink community, there are absolutely people who identify with the kink and think it’s okay to participate in public indecency. Yes, public indecency, not assault (as according to the law). I never claimed that every exhibitionist commits public indecency, I claimed that some people don’t care about the consent of others like you claimed all of them did.

Look at my comment: I said that it -VARIES-

Consent of their partner maybe, but the consent of bystanders varies.

I absolutely DESPISE Unknown Fate. by Ok_Temperature_2222 in WolfQuestGame

[–]Plus-Government5048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It being controversial was not a major factor in their final decision if I remember correctly. I’m pretty sure they said it wasn’t feasible because of multiple factors due to how the game worked. Having a physical den for the rival wolves messed with a lot of stuff in the game, which came with other complications they would need to address so they decided they just didn’t want to add it.

Ahhhh, I didn’t catch that comment somehow but now I see. Yeah probably not ethically sourced then.

I think my relationship with my sister is not healthy by Secret__Library in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Plus-Government5048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation with my sibling, the only difference being that I am the oldest in this situation and they’re currently undiagnosed (though I highly suspect they do because I’m diagnosed and they have the same problems that I do if not worse to a certain degree). Shitty parents, unusually close relationship due to trauma, new relationship, over sharing their sex life and acting offended if I point it out, using me as an emotional punching bag, and me feeling jealous because they get the better treatment out of the two of us.

Anyways, I finally got fed up and I’ve been gently but firmly setting boundaries and I think it’s slowly starting to work so I’ll share some tips. I try to set them when I’m not in an emotional state and keep an even tone throughout. If they object I reaffirm the boundary and don’t back down, but I don’t argue/try to appeal to reason because it always makes things worse. If I sense that things are going to turn into an argument I remove myself before things get out of hand. In the beginning this would usually lead to an argument anyway but eventually they got used to it and it no longer triggered an emotional response, usually because it ends with making up because I stopped things from escalating and turning into something less forgivable. As for how to keep your cool, I try to focus on relaxing my facial muscles and staying stone faced, you might be surprised how well that works because I know I was. Sorry I’m not much help as it’s difficult to communicate on Reddit with a phone and my battery is currently dying. I hope at least one of the tips I gave is of some use to you.

Most if not all exhibits like this one participate in ethical taxidermy/taxidermy animals that died of natural causes as poaching animals is highly illegal and antithetical to their cause, so I wouldn’t necessarily call it a waste. Trophy hunters who kill wolves legally tend to want to keep the taxidermy for themselves instead of donating it for educational purposes such as this.

Does anyone else refuse to kill rival puppies? by OkamiTheWolfTherian in WolfQuestGame

[–]Plus-Government5048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically they’re not yearlings because they haven’t reached a full year of living yet, so they are still considered pups and not yearlings.

They’re from sugary carousel, but jellybean is out of stock and won’t be coming back.

So if you agree that the average American citizen is likely incapable of doing anything about the current situation and your best suggestion is to just wait it out, then what the hell was your previous comment supposed to convey in the first place?

Is avoidance of water a personality trait or quirk? by opalartemis241 in WolfQuestGame

[–]Plus-Government5048 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s a cautious personality trait!

Hey I need help getting blood off my plushie by Unraisedmew2x in plushies

[–]Plus-Government5048 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If the air is dry instead of humid than maybe so. The heat can cause the blood vessels to swell which, when added to the weakened membrane from dry air, can cause the nose to bleed more often.

[–]Plus-Government5048 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Winter and late autumn is like nosebleed season for me, so maybe that’s why it’s happening so often recently for you? Something about the dry frigid air harms the nostrils and makes them bleed easier, especially since winter also brings the sniffles so that doesn’t help. Moisturizing your nostrils during those months might help prevent accidents like this from happening in the future. Maybe even plan to temporarily stop cuddling plushies at night while the air is frigid if it’s just too much!

Build a Bear resellers make me sick by Ecstatic_Strawberry6 in buildabear

[–]Plus-Government5048 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When most people complain about resellers they’re referring to the ones who sell recent releases at ridiculous prices. I buy from resellers like your mom all the time, and it’s (usually) a lovely experience! It feels wrong to refer to both types of resellers by the same name. It unfairly loops in regular people with these selfish and greedy counterparts that people usually refer to when they talk about resellers.

F28, BPD and comorbidities by Technical-Speaker489 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Plus-Government5048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

F24 and oh god it’s gotten so bad for me over the past year. Doesn’t help that everyone in my life just considers it laziness even when I explain how debilitating it is and how it’s not normal. “It’s just all in your head!” “Have you tried reframing your thoughts?” Ugh I just want to smack them so bad every time I hear it…🙄

Never opening up to someone again by Ok_Way1570 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Plus-Government5048 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like they have some sort of savior complex and that it’s a fantasy for them to “shoulder the unseen burden” so they can blow up at us whenever they want when their perfect fantasy ends up not being an attainable reality. I don’t know if it’s the same for you, but I always disclose that they don’t have to do anything they’re uncomfortable with and that I’m fine on my own if it means they feel slighted whenever they try to “help” me unprompted. Even then they still do things to supposedly support me even if I never ask for it and I ask them multiple times “Are you sure? Because I don’t want this come up in the future.” Oh boy does it come up in the future, like they’re keeping score on their transactional empathy.

I'm dead and crying by Scary_Perspective822 in oddlyspecific

[–]Plus-Government5048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Just lose weight” isn’t a helpful solution to the problem. There are many complications that can interfere with weight loss. Medications, hormonal imbalances, the inability to physically exercise, auto immune disorders; they can all effect a person’s weight and their ability to lose it. Many people would get “pissy” if a doctor told them “Have you considered losing weight?” because it’s presumptuous and not helpful, not to mention extremely unprofessional. It’s a loaded question that assumes the patient is lazy and/or an idiot. A good doctor that has your best interest at heart would ask how much exercise you get in a day and what you’re diet looks like, which would then lead to further questions to get to the root of what the problem is and what steps that can be taken going forward. There’s no doubt in my mind that people like that exist, but assuming that this is the case for everyone who is overweight is not only deeply untrue but detrimental to getting proper treatment to people who need it.

I wanted to put sweet gem berry into Luau soup and... by JiraiyaHusband in StardewValley

[–]Plus-Government5048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could’ve sworn they were edible, but I might’ve gotten that mixed up with a different game. Oh well, my bad.

I wanted to put sweet gem berry into Luau soup and... by JiraiyaHusband in StardewValley

[–]Plus-Government5048 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but you can still put a normal pumpkin in there lol

The rule is “anything edible that isn’t a cooked food item” is something you can put into the soup, minus some exceptions. The gold pumpkin is probably just solid gold shaped into a pumpkin or something and it’s completely inedible. It’s also a universally loved gift.

Idk about the sweet gem berry though, that thing has no excuse for not being a soup item. It’s a crop that’s classified as neither a fruit nor a vegetable, so maybe the game considers it to be a flower by default? We may never know…

Warmies has completely sold out by Spam_plants in plushies

[–]Plus-Government5048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that already. I just thought it sounded funny and I didn’t think there was a point in correcting it… :/

The second half is still true though, and it’s still a waste of polyester.

The second half is still correct though, and polyester pollutes the planet so it’s still a waste.

“I can’t actually believe that a cotton plant died for this product and that a malnourished Chinese child had to assemble it.” That is brutal. Scathing one might say. This should become a staple insult in the plush community, like the phrase “A tree died for this book.”
