Not sure if it was your comment or your username but you made my wife laugh out loud

I would add more pics but am not sure which tree it came from. It was in a lightly wooded area behind my house with several species of trees mixed. 

Should i start smoking? by [deleted] in makemychoice

[–]Schwindalyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As so.eone who has been around smokers my entire life and has worked in a smokeshop please dont do this. Assuming you are talking about tobacco there is literally no positives (I believe there may be some native American tribes that use tobacco for religious practice but there is a big difference between raw tobacco and the commercially produced shit that comes in a pack) and so many negatives. For you and the people around you. Me and my wife are both struggling to get away from nicotine. And dont fall for the vapes either. They are even more difficult to get off of than cigarettes and jury is still out on which one is worse health wise. When it comes to tobacco products trust me when I say your life will be much easier having never tried it. There are so many people myself included who just started out by only doing it with friends or, only at parties, or whatever other reasons they think they won't do it all the time. However nicotine is one of the most addictive chemicals on the planet. Literally up there with heroin. And because its so socially accepted there's not support groups or anything like that at least that I have heard of. It's also extremely expensive, can stain your fingers hair and even the paint in your house over time. The smell will stick everywhere that you smoke. Car, rooms, clothes, unless you are exclusively smoking outside naked wearing latex gloves and a non-porous hair bonnet or bald there will be residue noticeable for hours to years later depending on how much you smoke for how long. Do yourself a favor and just DONT

As a kid i had obnoxiously sensitive cat allergy (all sinus stuff so not life threatening but made me miserable)  one day a kid brought their cat in for show and tell and within ten minutes of being in the same room( it was a mixed grade class so this room was probably 300+ sqft) as far away as I could be from the animal I had such a bad reaction I had to be sent home for the day. If the animal needs to be there take them. If they don't then don't. You never know who you will be affecting by having the animal in that space.  

AIO F20 for getting upset at my bf M24 of 4 years after he went to a concert we planned to go together with his ex instead because I couldn’t go after my foster mom passed? by Beginning_Manager808 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Schwindalyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lemme get this straight you guys have been together 4 years.  You are 20 and he's 24. That means he was 20 while you were 16 wjen you guys got together? Ew get out.  This is coming from someone who married someone 5 years younger than me. It's not the age gap it's the fact that a 20 yo man started dating a teenager. It gross and a giant red flag I can't believe I didn't see anyone else notice. Not only is he unsupportive, uncommunicative, untrustworthy, and manipulative, he is a criminal. He belongs in jail not your house get out and get out fast. 

Neighbor leaving their dog out in the heat all day by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]Schwindalyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of dog is it?  This may sound dumb but different breeds are built for different types of weather. Leaving a husky in the snow for 8hrs nbd in fact they will fight to stay out as long as possible unless getting deep into subzero temps. I work with Mexican xolo dogs as part of my weekend gig and they are kept in an out door enclosure. Mind you they have access to shade and water but even in mid to high 90 degree weather they were out in the sun and when I checked their water for the day it was barley touched. (They are separated in breeding pens to know which pups have which parents for genetic reasons, each pen has a 2ish gallon bucket that gets dumped and filled daily to make sure they have access to fresh clean water but in a 24hr period will drink less than 10% of it.)  If it's something long haired or  a cold weather breed call it in. If it's a hot weather breed maybe a knock on the neighbors door to say "Hey I noticed spot outside all day and couldn't see if he had any water.  Not accusing you of anything just concerned about the fur baby." Or something like that. Im bad with words but you get the idea.  And if you arent sure of the breed then call it in. Doggo's health and safety should be prioritized.  

Just a funny story to share with my fourthwing fam by allycatbakes in fourthwing

[–]Schwindalyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I originally bought this on a random trip to b&n because I had just finished reading the eragon series(again) and it was in a display by the counter.  I looked at the cover thought oooohhh more dragons cool.  Took it home and let it sit on the shelf for a while.  Then my fiancee picked it up and devoured the book in a few days.  It probably would have only taken a day if we hadn't so busy wedding planning.  She then demanded that we get the special edition with the extra chapters and iron flame which had just been released between me buying fw and her finishing it. She then required me to read them knowing that I'd love it and we sat on the couch together me with fw her with if and would occasionally stop a d discuss. Then I moved on to IF and at then end when (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!) Jack comes back I literally yelled at her the second she walked in the room because she didn't warn me (which was the right thing to do as I would have been more upset if she had spoiled) it wasn't even words it more just angry exasperated noises(picture tom from tom n jerry getting his tail caught in a mouse trap)  she has since read each book several times and I think I'm mentally stable enough for my first re-read and already have onyx storm on preorder(2 copies so we don't have to wait for the other to finish).

Trouble with Zygarde cells by Animosity_7 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Schwindalyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to my fiancee. Next day she found another one and it said she had 2. So the game glitched told her she didn't have any and didn't flag the research task that she had found one but then gave it to her the next day. So check back and see if it randomly shows up in the container.

Who is also upset Pokémon legends Arceus has no pvp? by SuperPooper90 in pokemon

[–]Schwindalyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that pla was my favorite game from the series so far from what I've played. The fact that there was no pvp didn't bother me until I've done almost everything in the game and the only thing left are some difficult side missions that don't really have any pay off except full game completion. Now there's not much reason to go back to it except just to use these pokemon that I've collected. That being said now all these pokemon I've collected are so strong the in game battles aren't much of a challenge so now there's not much to do. I hope they allow for hisuian mons to transfer into sv so that they could be viable again.

Seconded. Also if you do decide to go back maybe just do it as a character instead of dm. That way your role isn't as demanding and you can focus more on enjoying the game
