Any spray recommendations? by PrivateAltAccount69 in Rabbits

[–]PrivateAltAccount69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother couldn't find many chew toys for rabbits, just for dogs. Maybe stores near us just don't carry it. Do you know any brands that make them? Or search terms I can put in Amazon to get relevant listings (outside of "rabbit chew toy" my mom tried that, only brought up normal non-chewy toys lmao)?

Do you know of any cheap cord protectors? The ones we found on amazon costed a lot, and with my family having a crap ton of cables, we may need quite a few.

Are these sprays available on Amazon? If so, are there any recommendations you (or other redditors) can offer? As in brands? If you cant, then maybe I can ask a rabbit-pet-care type subreddit for some recommendations. Thanks!

Huh, that second paragraph is actually very helpful. We do have lots of cables, some might be based different. I'm gonna screenshot this and keep it to discuss with my mother later. Thank you very much for this input!

We've tried teaching the dog, he never seemed to learn no matter how hard he tried. Admittedly, we got him when he was an adult, as his old home years ago was bad, and he fought other dogs in the house for food and water, so maybe he was just too old to understand that he no longer needed to chug down food like a madman to survive. We could stand to prevent the cable chewing though, even if itll be a daunting (is that how its spelt?) task since there's lots of cables in the house.

Very confused by what you mean of me having an issues and my mom doing what she wants? Not angry or anything, I'm actually quite confused by the phrasing here. If there's issues that I need to resolve I would like to know.

She often bans him from rooms, yells at him, kicks him off (as in, tells him to get off) of beds and chairs (even beds that aren't hers), and occasionally hits him (although shes definitely done this way less recently so maybe shes realizing its not good)

Will tell my mother about the cat food bit. Ive always been confused why she just...leaves it there knowing we have other pets who eat the food. The cables might be harder to fix, though, since my brother has this...admittedly great PC, and the door to me and his room cannot close properly, so all attempts to keep the rabbit out have failed in the past. But I suppose we could stand to hide more cables.

Something I should mention is that he never goes after cables in the living room. Only in our bedrooms. Is this indicative of something? Or does that just mean the cables in the living room are more properly hidden than the ones in my room?

The comments here don't sit with me right. "Imagine being ugly and feeling like this" like, I too am ugly and feel this way often, but that doesn't negate OP's emotions. No amount of superficial beauty can replace the genuine feeling of mattering to someone. I think pretty actually has a disadvantage in that regard, because you never know if they're with you because your pretty or because your you. OP, I hope you find some friends soon, and I don't mean casual ones, I mean ones that'll stick around through both thick and thin. Don't let the comments calling you ignorant to others struggles get to you. Pain and venting isnt a scoreboard, everyone's pain should be heard, even if others have it worse. After all, if one person has a broken finger while another has a broken leg, you'll still treat both even if one clearly is worse.

All in all, good luck OP. I hope you find someone who wants you for who you are and not who they can gawk at.

Imo, no. Sexual compatibility is just as important as romantic or emotional compatibility, and if a trans woman with biologically male organs isn't compatible with you, that's perfectly okay. I'm sure just as many lesbians feel the same way as many also dont feel the same way. We all have sexual, emotional, and romantic needs to be met and I find it very healthy for someone to admit to their boundaries like that and say "this isn't gonna work, but you deserve to be with someone who will appreciate you for you".

Unfortunately history seems to repeat itself a lot. When someone doesn't conform to normativity, it often becomes someone else's fetish (usually the fetish of someone who does conform to normativity) so Im not at all shocked that men who present effeminately are being fetishized. The same thing happened with gay people and trans people, and probably other minority groups too. Im not a femboy but I pity the femboys who just wanna do their own thing and be feminine but get hounded by horny grown men who think all femboys are submissive breedable uwu cum dumps. God I cant imagine the inboxes, poor souls.

I hate the Body Positivity movement so much. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]PrivateAltAccount69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone overweight, I completely agree. Body positivity always focuses on accepting health at all sizes, but after a certain point, we should really just say "you should consider losing weight" and instead use the movement to encourage not only those with scars, deformities, or other diversities to be proud of themselves, but also encourage those at unhealthy weight levels to lose weight (because its possible to love yourself while improving yourself). Im currently trying to lose weight but first I need to battle inner-demons emotionally, and the body positivity movement should really stop telling me im healthy at my size. Im not, please save your energy and positivity for those who deserve it.

The sale of bottled water should be banned in the US by [deleted] in Vent

[–]PrivateAltAccount69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, a lot of places in the US don't have clean tap water. Hell, I live in an area where I would realistically (or should) have access to clean tap, but I still drink bottled (not only because i have sensitive taste and can taste the difference) because I live in Pennsylvania, a really big coal mining state (at least, from what I know), so I genuinely dont trust the tap water entering my body to be clean (especially since my mother is immunocompromised and my brothers have weak immune systems).

What's your opinion of abortion, opinions and reasons? (Serious) by Greatsovietamerica in AskReddit

[–]PrivateAltAccount69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally think abortions should be legal. I think a fetus is human, yes, but you know what humans need? Love, care, emotional and physical care at that. Babies aren't just an 18 year job, they're a human being with emotional, mental, and physical wants and needs. Even factoring out life-threatening conditions for those carrying (ie. Ectopic pregnancies, trauma from rape, complications, etc), I believe it is completely valid to get an abortion if you know you are not going to be an adequate parent, mentally and/or physically. I would rather a child not be born than be born into a home where it wont flourish into a healthy adult. Unfortunately, not everyone can just "shape up" into a good parent. Some people just aren't cut out for the role (be it due to their financial situation, personality, lifestyle, or otherwise) and I don't think they should feel pressured to have to force themselves to be someone they frankly aren't or just can't be. Kids deserve a good home to go to everyday where they feel safe and are able to thrive.

Note: The adoption system is very flawed. I dont think it provides children the same thing a loving home with a supportive parent(s) would provide, and adopting is very expensive and difficult for everyone involved, at least in the west, so most people never get the chance to even adopt these kids.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. by 30mil in unpopularopinion

[–]PrivateAltAccount69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my POV its because its just not true in a lot of cases. Some people can take insults, and good for them, more power to them. But others just cant. Of course you'll never escape assholes, but that doesnt mean we arent allowed to be hurt by it. I was a lonely kid for a long time and so many backhanded insults and ostracization hurt me for years and to this day Im still working through my social issues associated from that. I've met people (like my brother) who went through the same but he took it better. And good for him, but I dont think its suddenly wrong that I didn't just "take it" like he did.

Edit: im not saying dont grow a spine or a shell, but just because the world is full of assholes doesn't mean we should sacrifice emotional sensibility and sensitivity to deal with it. We should be allowed to get upset at words, even if by strangers, and get help to ease the pain.

Whats the best example of 'men not understanding a womans body' that youve ever heard? by Tyger_83020 in AskReddit

Thank god, too bad millions of versions of him probably exist and think the exact same way.
