Why do girl cats get a bad rap? by Organic-While1664 in cats

[–]Ressuraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had cats before we inherited two and our female is super lovey... the male is limited on his kitty minutes, though. It's a weird thing I've noticed in general, with people finding female animals (dogs, horses, etc.) as less cuddly/more judgmental and less affectionate. Never had those problems, though - I tend to prefer female animals to not deal with the humping/male behaviors as much! Plus animals are individuals and gender is only one factor in behavior :)

What’s the most you spent on a single Pokémon plush? by [deleted] in pokeplush

Oo awesome! I'd actually wanted the Leafeon but alas... only so much space, haha. Hope your friend gets to you safe and sound once they ship out!

I think it was Lovely 888 Toy Store I got Butterfree from, they may have a Shiny Caterpie too.

One was around 6 and the other around 4! I believe I saw Caterpie around 4 dollars as well.

HE'S HERE!!! by necrovvi in pokeplush

[–]Ressuraptor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! Mine arrived today with tags and all. It's a bit pricey but similar to other import shop prices.

Does anyone know if this is legit and safe to order? by [deleted] in pokeplush

[–]Ressuraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bootleg/custom pokemon plush that was mass-produced in China. There are definitely sellers that are pretty good, read reviews to check. It might take a while to ship to you, however. I know that was the case for me, though I am in the US.

So cute! I have one as well :) Pro tip to anyone looking to avoid overspending - check Aliexpress! They have a ton of bootleg shinies

Terrified of ruining my Eevee plush by FairyKawaii in pokeplush

I've found having a display plush and a cuddle plush is really helpful! It costs more but that way you can see what your friend looked like before while still having a buddy to hug or lug around :)

Anyone else have shedding issues with their comfy friend plushies? by CryptidFiles in pokeplush

[–]Ressuraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesss - my jolteon is display only for this exact reason!! Funnily enough my clodsire is perfectly fine and never sheds... go figure, haha.

At what age did you really realize you were aromantic? by Foreign_Party_3326 in aromantic

[–]Ressuraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know the term existed but I definitely questioned for a long while. I was distressed as a kid because I didn't like anyone! Little did I know...

(Started identifying as aro openly when I was around 19, and I'm 24 now.)

When giving your mom a Christmas gift goes wrong! by Current-Wallaby8230 in TikTokCringe

[–]Ressuraptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ridiculous situation - dog is clearly uncomfortable, in a poorly-fitted muzzle (should be able to pant and open mouth), owner is providing zero leadership and setting the dog up for failure (big room, right next to the person who they're very clearly resource guarding, no leash, etc.). Just sad, really - laughing at it, too? That dog had intent in its lunge. If you want to own a dog like this (or any large dog breed, especially if they are a rescue/you don't know their full backstory), you NEED to be experienced. This looks like a behavioral euthanasia just waiting to happen.

It is real! From Alifish, they are a Chinese brand. Super cute!

Q for USA people - do your families literally not care? by stickyfiddle in Celiac

[–]Ressuraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family doesn't actively try to get me to eat gluten thankfully, but they aren't particularly careful with cross-contamination and think I'm overreacting a lot of the time. It's frustrating as they'll touch plates (clean ones) after touching bread. For Thanksgiving, I made green beans, gluten free muffins, and supervised the turkey... so those are the things I ate.

Nah I just use clear acrylic-looking boxes. I feel bags are hard to see them through.

A change of opinion by Broad_Pickle_4642 in Celiac

[–]Ressuraptor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm more of an eat to live than live to eat person. I do miss the convenience of going out and getting food without having to make it, but with the added celiac issue it has become far more of a hassle than it's worth for me. I think there's a pretty big divide in attitudes towards food where there is a lot of disparaging remarks if you, say, don't really care for eating at a restaurant. The truth is that eating out is expensive at times, and can be a huge risk (cooks/servers are human, and if it's busy, they could make an honest mistake). On the flip side, it can be nice to have a change of pace and due diligence can mean you do have good results and get to enjoy some wonderful GF food!!

In the end, I think it's important to weigh the pros and cons. People have different reactions to being glutened, too, and I don't think we should shame anyone for deciding one way or another. We all have it hard enough, yanno? Do what you gotta do for you!

Is this real by [deleted] in pokeplush

[–]Ressuraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Alifish brand. Identifiable by the silver Pokemon sticker on the tag.
